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

Politely disagree. Chargers RB Brown has 31 carries for 62 yards. Against Pettine, it would have been 162 yards, minimum. Too much all or nothing with no run D. Blitz and pray D only works for short spurts.
Politely also disagree, Rivers would have been laying looking up at the sky more often, been more afraid of lingering in the pocket and certainly not thought to flee the pocket to show his running skills. Schwartz does not aggressively blitz ever.

Good point. Very debatable, but I think our defensive personal this year, as opposed to last year, is better equipped to stop the run.
If you walk with Jesus today, you don't have anything to worry about tomorrow...
Goat of the game .. The defense we couldn't cover or stop anybody. (3rd down efficiency WTF)
“It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”
"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.
The corners really didn't play that badly yesterday, Rivers only completed 8 passes to WR's all day. Two were the 49 yard heaves to Floyd (his only catches, and more likely at least partially the safeties fault for not getting deep to help), and two were the short TD's to Royal (good play design, that's going to happen). By and large, for the most part, the WR's were a non-factor for most of the game. Obviously Schwartz's plan was to take Gates out of the equation, which they did...and that puts CB's in more 1 on 1 with less help from LBers or safeties.
Just a swing in one or two plays (a non-call on a drive extending penalty, a quicker stop on third and long that was a dump off or scramble, anything at all from the Bills offense) and the outcome could have been very different.

You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley
Well I think it may be time to step back and take out the defense/ST plays that put them over the top (in earlier games) and analyze just what Manuel is giving you (Bills) in a given game. It's like a single TD.
It may be too early in the season to talk sense to these guys.
Some other interesting info. It was supposed to be our passing game that was going to change our offense this season. For some perspective, everyone here talked about how horrible Cleveland's WRs were, but Hawkins and Austin have more catches and more TDs than all of our WRs combined. Not sure that anyone's realized it, but the only 3 WRs on the team that have even caught a pass are Watkins, Woods, and Williams. Williams hasn't done much of anything.
This is not just smacking of a FAIL, it's strongly hinting at an epic fail for Whaley.
The team doesn't use Spiller on 3rd downs because they can't, and Jackson's had only three 3rd down carries and is struggling more this season. They put the ball in Manuel's hands on 3rds, which I guess has to be done since Jackson's the only RB capable of doing anything on 3rds and he's not really playing that well, probably with age catching up to him.
Watkins is supposed to be able to take any short dunk pass and turn it into 20 yards but he hasn't done anything in two of three games. Williams is supposed to be a force in the red zone but we've been awful in the red zone generally speaking.

And another reminder that ST TD's don't come often enough to win games. Even when they do come there's no guarantee that they come in a win. Same thing with the defense dropping the ball for the offense in the other teams red zone.
Manuel gives us nothing, except a high completion percentage apparently, which by last week's opinated horde we were enlightened was something important. I guess that fact that Manuel doesn't know how to make use of WR's isn't an issue.

Rivers completed 8 passes to his receivers, Manuel 7 to his.
