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

Bills O.C. candidates Olson and Childress by the numbers
The Buffalo Bills reportedly have two candidates for offensive coordinator in Greg Olson and Brad Childress. How successful has each been while in prominent roles in the NFL? 7 ABC's Joe Buscaglia breaks down how they've ranked throughout their careers, and offers some observations, too.
1) Brad Childress, based on the numbers in almost every single category listed, has shown to be the superior candidate. The trouble there, however, is that he hasn't had been the full-on offensive coordinator of a team since 2012 in Cleveland. Much of Childress' success can be considered outdated based on how the game has evolved.
2) Greg Olson has had little success recently, except in 2015 when the Jacksonville Jaguars set his career record (3rd) for the highest ranking in passing touchdowns for one season. Other than that, Olson's offenses have been below average but has continued to get opportunities to lead an offense. He has had some success developing quarterbacks -- as had Childress -- which is part of the explanation.

Re: Bills O.C. candidates Olson and Childress by the numbers
Seems like there both downgrades from the guy we all pretty much wanted when we heard McDermott was our guy which was McCoy. They can do whatever they want nothing changes without a QB on that side of the ball.
Again, I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone other than one of these two guys.
Well I'd love that but who? I love how McDermott's appeal was bringing McCoy and then he didn't! Lol. You can almost count on the owners getting screwed over.
Maybe we should bring Rob Ryan back as the OC since he's an expert at getting the most out of the opponents offense.
Re: Bills O.C. candidates Olson and Childress by the numbers
It's not like Childress has been cut off from the ability to learn anything new just cause he hasn't been an OC since 2012. He's been on coaching staffs ever since and may very well have updated his approach.
That said, this is becoming a seriously underwhelming hiring. I'm not really that worried about Leslie Frazier, as I think that if McDermott wants an aggressive defense he's perfectly capable of making sure that happens. But you'd like to see a first time head coach with a defensive background paired with an exciting mind on the offensive side of the ball.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?
Well one guy might be the Houston Texan OC that just got canned. He was clearly O'Brien's fall guy. And everyone knows the problem in Houston is the overpaid, non-producing QB (sound familiar?). So I don't know that the fired OC was necessarily the problem there. Seems more the personnel is lacking in some spots.
And is he better than Childress? IDK.
I'm left feeling less inspired about having McDermott if he is going to be flanked by Frazier & Childress.
Re: Bills O.C. candidates Olson and Childress by the numbers
Be happy Childress is out. He was terrible in Cleveland. Of course when you had Brandon Weeden at QB and a Trent Richardson at RB that might have more to do with why your offense was terrible than the OC.

I'm not a fan of Olsen either.
COMING SOON...

Re: Bills O.C. candidates Olson and Childress by the numbers
well we're going old school on the D, why not bring in someone to run the Veer/option? We go on 4th down all day and Tie Rod only has to throw 8 times a game. We might not win many games but the good news is they'd be over a lot quicker.
Re: Bills O.C. candidates Olson and Childress by the numbers
As much as I'd prefer our first time, defensive minded HC brought an experienced OC, I kind of want the OC to also be good. If Olsen is the best available with experience, I'll take a less known commodity with upside.
