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!

I thought your original post said that if neither make it, then you get my Zone Bucks?
But no big deal -- it's just zone bucks, haha...
I guess we have 2 separate bets then:
(a) Bryan getting 1 sack or more this year -- 2100 Zone Bucks.
(b) Stupar getting 2 or more catches this year -- 2100 Zone Bucks.
It's a deal. And just to keep it real with you, those stats have to be in the NFL.
...Hopefully these 2 scrubs are taken in by some team in the NFL.
thank god stupar dropped his pass this weekend.. so your halfway there.. with stupar on the roster by default.. im sure you will end up winning both.

I will admit that I may have underestimated Byrd's abilities as a ball-hawk, but I will stand by my earlier concerns about him in run support at this stage of his career. From what he has shown the last couple of games, I think that he has the chance to become a really good player--even better than he has shown so far--once he has a chance to get stronger in this coming offseason.
I would really like to see him paired with a healthy Whitner or Scott--two guys who are better against the run--for a whole game as the starter at free safety. George Wilson is a 100% effort guy on every play, but he just isn't big enough playing against the run.
If Byrd could play with a strong safety who could cover for his weakness against the run and develop a solid partnership with him, that could really make this Bills' defense very good as it would free up both safeties to concentrate more on what they each do best.
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.

Agreed, Byrd playing alongside Whitner would be a good solid pairing at Safety. People seem to forget that the Bills' troubles against the run this year only appeared after Whitner got hurt.
Hindsight is 20/20... Byrd can be awful at run defense (which he's not) at this point so long as he's getting a pick a game. I also love what he and Whitner should bring to the table in terms of how they compliment each other going forward. DBs are definitely one area this team doesn't have to lose sleep over.
Thats why I don't open threads for some users on here.
You have to wait and see how a player plays not just off 1 or 2 games...
This is the same thing BYRD did at Oregon...

I agree with you about Whitner. I think he looked far better at the beginning of the season (when he was healthy) than he has his previous 3 seasons. I hope he and Scott come back soon, because that gives the Bills 3 excellent safeties, with a serviceable backup in Wilson.
