All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I do not buy in to this phenomena/hysteria that Brad Roll was the reason we got our asses handed to us late in games.
I owe that all to getting outcoached.
Personally I couldn't care less about him, but just saying a lot of you bought into media hype.
I'm sure that's a good portion of it also, but don't you find it odd that there is such a huge disparity in scoring between us and them in the 4th quarter - moreso than any other quarter?

Coaching.
The only place where training makes a difference is in lessening pulls and strains.
The year before last, I bet 10 Bears pulled hammies at one time or another. This year, with Rusty Jones, they had waaay fewer injuries.

Trainers make a bigger difference than lessening pulls and strains, That may be a small part of what the trainers do, but as the Strength and Conditioning coach, he has to have his players in the best shape(meaning as strong as they ever were and in the best condition of their lives). In saying this when the team falls apart in the 4th quarter they obviously are not in the shape they should be in, that falls directly on the shoulders of Brad Roll. The coaching may be the reason why we lost some of the games this season, but you cant blame it directly on the coaching.
While I agree that the defensive play-calling had a lot to do with how poorly the Bills played at the end of both the first and second half of their games, I would also point out that the Bills' defensive players consistently complained about being worn down because the offense's ineptness left them on the field too long.
The Chicago Bears' defense spent at least as much, if not more, time on the field in many of their games, but their defense did not collapse or complain about being worn down and tired. Part of the reason may have been their success and better play-calling by their coaches, but part of their success may also have been due to better conditioning.
The comparison is apt because both were similar teams and Rusty Jones, the Bears strength and conditioning coach, had previously been with the Bills and had been replaced by Roll.
While I think there were many factors more important than conditioning that contributed to the Bills' poor performance this season, I also think that the Bills conditioning was not what it could or should have been and that it also played a role in that poor performance. For that reason, I am glad to see Roll go. But, I do agree that, even if the Bills are better conditioned next season, it won't make that much of a difference if the coaching, play-calling and execution on both sides of the ball does not significantly improve as well.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.
