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

Willis being back shows the progress we are making
Read it. He says all we need to know. It's apperant that if DJ and company can get Willis to be here instead of at 'Tha U' then they are doing some things right already.
It is becoming more and more apperant how bad it was in regards to the players relationship with MM. They didn't like him, Believe in him or his 'system'.
Good luck Fins, you are gonna need it with that moron running your offense down there

I personally think that this dude got a bad rap last year.
Before the season most thought that he was the best back in the league. Then in week 8 he’s #3 in the league in rushing. Then he doesn’t have a great second half of the season (a second half where the whole team was terrible) and people are saying that he’ll never be great!

It’s just crazy.
During the season WILLIS said he was the best back in the league.
I never said he wont be great. I think he's going to be a top-five back in the league. Having an offensive line who can hit the hole before he does would probably help him out a little bit.
Re: Willis being back shows the progress we are making
Let's hope he catches a few more balls though. I saw him shift out of the backfield and run a few patterns back in Miami and I know he can still catch. Almost as good as Josh Reed.

If you never said it, Then I wasn't talking about you.
Re: Willis being back shows the progress we are making
This might be my favorite article of the off-season so far. I know sometimes Willis can say things that rub some fans the wrong way because it comes off as too arrogant and cocky, but I thought everything he said here was great. I like how Willis always talks about actually playing like and being a champion, as opposed to a lot of players that just talk about going out and doing the best they can. He sets the bar as high as he can and doesn't shy away from it. I like that he didn't try and make excuses for last year too.
With the dissapointment of last season, a new regime, and questions about his attitude and what not, I really didn't know what to expect from McGahee. The fact that he's excited to be back in Buffalo though, and is ready to work hard has me excited too.
Re: Willis being back shows the progress we are making
Attitude is a huge part of a team's performance. It sounds like the entire team is coming in with a new one and that is a vast improvement over last year. I still remember the interviews with TKO last year and he wasn't too excited which was a big warning sign in hindsight of how bad things were going to get.
Even if we haven't made any huge FA signings you gotta give Marv and the staff he's consolidated credit for this.

The first line you said there is the most underated thing in football-attitude- and I agree with you 100%
But I disagree about your take on TKO.. Last year, him and Fletch were saying our defense was going to Rival the 1985 Bears, thats how confident he was in this team.
Re: Willis being back shows the progress we are making
Responding with some one being in a "contract year" isn't a bad thing. It generally shows that they're gonna play that much harder when the time comes. It would seem to make on believe that Pat actually thinks Willis is going to go out and have a career year, which, surprise surprise, would make the product on the field better and we might win a few games here and there. Odd theory, I know.
