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 still expect Ragland to win a starting job at LB. It's hard to imagine him not being one of our top 3 LBs considering how weak the unit is, but at the same time he's never looked like a good fit for this D so who knows. Either way I expect LB to be a top need heading into next season. I'd also rather see one of the rookies they just drafted start at OLB over Humber. Even if they struggle at least they'll get some valuable experience. And maybe they'll even end up being a pleasant surprise. Starting Humber just seems like a waste.
Brown and Ragland, hopefully, will both turn out to be healthy good LBs. And maybe someone will slide over to that outside spot.
You guys are forgetting about LorAx. He may see some time at end spelling Hughes, but in the base D he's a given at one spot. I would expect Hodges to pass Humber on the depth chart, and unless Ragland really shows a ton in TC he's probably going to at least start the season backing up Brown in the middle.

I like Lorenzo Alexander, but I can't see him lasting as a full time starter at LB. He's 34, and while he's great at special teams and excelled in Ryan's junk D, I have a feeling he's best as a rotational or situational guy.
The quiet of June/July 2017 is a beautiful thing. Every year there seems to be something to discuss or fight about on these boards leading up to camp. The latest savior QB. Drafting too many CBs. An overpaid lineman. Whatever. All of it distracts us from how bad the Bills really are. It's what Brandon is good at. Distracting fans from reality. At least he tries that. This year there's nothing. It's nice to see. You just get a feel that the coaches are hard at work on football matters. Maybe Pegula did it right this time. Even with an underwhelming roster, the hope of turning things around is still there. The roster is good enough that with some good coaching and in-game management this team could break above that .500 mark.
Making the Playoffs should be the goal NOT sneaking in on week 17
Sneak, roll / fall let's just try to get back to a winning season and having a chance for the title. Right now, we've become a footnote in the league. ESPN Coverage for our team comes from a half-hearted Chowder head who could give a rats *** less, what a joke.
