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

Anyone in the draft could be a bust or a steal. You just don't know, since it's such a crap shoot. Perterson does definetly raise some red flags though such as the ones that were just mentioned. My preference has always been Patrick Willis at #12, but if Peterson is still available, it will be hard not to take him. If he could only stay healthy, he could be the next Shaun Alexander.
I don't know... the last time we took a RB from a school in Oklahoma who was "injury-prone" and slid on draft day it worked out pretty well for us (I still remember the live shot ESPN had of Thurm in his living room... waiting... waiting...).
Anything can happen on draft day. I remember a day way back in 1988 when a running back from Oklahoma State was labeled injury prone with a bum knee. He fell all the way to the #40th pick in the second round. The running back coach of the Bills at the time (I forgot who it was, it may be Elijah Pitts) said the Bills need to draft this guy. The coach and GM were very reluctant but gave in...the guy Thurman Thomas. Oh, and THurman was anything but injury prone in the NFL.
Who knows Petersen could be the next Thurman. He has the mentality of Thurman of never giving up and also driving for that extra yard that's for sure. Not sure if he will fall to #12 or if he does the Bills will take him but anything can happen.
