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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

146 out of 458 rush yards belong to McCoy. Willams has more with 186.
But, Dixon has zero. We only have 2 RB's with positive yards on the season- McCoy and Williams- and one of them is out vs the #2 rush D in the league. You don't see that as a problem? Seriously?
NYG may be second against the run, but they are dead last against the pass (yes, even worse than Buffalo), and they don't have a 466-yard anomaly against NE skewing the stats (356/Dallas, 363/Atlanta, 316/Washington).
Another way to look at it is to see who they've played: Dallas, Atlanta, and Washington. None of these teams has an established running attack. The featured back on each team is a young, middle-round pick. As such, they are all basically pass-first offenses.
And to further exacerbate the above, each team was playing catch up. The Giants held leads of 7, 3, and 9 at half and leads of 3, 10, and 12 after three quarters. It's hardly surprising that their opponents abandoned the run.
What may be telling is that the Giants lost two of these games.
Already put in my waiver wire request for Karlos. Looks like I need a handcuff for McCoy this season. Dropping Doug Martin as my flex. He's been a disappointment after all the talk he got. Karlos almost makes me hope we can trade McCoy's contract away in the off-season but maybe I should see how he does with a full game of carries next week. He looks like he could be an every-down back. I was hoping we could somehow get Derick Henry in the 2016 draft from Alabama, but now I'm seeing a very similarly talented guy already here.

Not nessacarily. Karlos Williams has showed me nothing to prove he can't be an excellent back in this league. And Greg Roman has proven to me he can call an excellent game. I have FAITH in the bills coaching staff to plan a game to put Williams in a spot to succed.
Is McCoy out not the ideal situation? Of course it is, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world and automatic loss because of some stat 3 weeks into the season.
No **** we want our starting RB on the field.. No need to state that and get mad when other people think it's still possible to win without him though. Seriously .

Do you always panic? I predict if McCoy sits that Los and Boobie combined will run for 125 yards +
Boobie had 432 rushing yards and 2 td on 105 carries last season , you act as if he's never had a carry in the NFL until this season. Los/Boobie is capable of grounding the Giants run defense into the ground...... R..E..L..A..X!

Washington is all about running, very poor passing game.

All the carries he's had this season have been terrible. You are predicting that a rookie and a 3rd stringer with 0 yards on the season (not zero carries-zero yards because he is so unproductive) are going to put up 125 on a D that only gives up 76 yards on average. Come on.
Ah I get it. So the Bills being the #1 rushing team after 3 games is meaningful but the Giants being the #2 rush D after 3 games isn't meaningful because it's only 3 games.
man the entire league must not remember bryce browns name. even with that one high profile fumble im surprised not a single team wants to give him another chance

Who abandons the run with a game within one or two scores unless they were absolutely unable to move the ball on the ground? I think 3 games is a good test of how good your run defense is. BTW....The Redskins have the #4 ranked rushing offense so far this year.
Just my opinion. This Giants game is all about Bills D against Eli Manning and the offense. The game is not hinges on whether the Bills can run the ball on them (would be nice though). I think the Bills can do better than what Dallas defense did to the Giants in the season opener. Mark my words, Eli WILL throw jump balls. If Rex can get the team to do what they did to Tannehill, i.e. get Eli's jersey dirty, the Bills will have a great chance.
