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!
Vikings @ Bills -- Thursday August 10th -- OFFICIAL THREAD
Re: Vikings @ Bills -- Thursday August 10th -- OFFICIAL THREAD
Only thing I care about are injuries. I don't put any stock into preseason game results, at least as far as the starters are concerned. It's just an opportunity for guys on the bubble to show something.
Re: Vikings @ Bills -- Thursday August 10th -- OFFICIAL THREAD
Ill be there my boys first time at the Ralph.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

I don't care about the final score, and first preseason game isn't a great indicator.
McDermott said starters will play about a quarter give or take, and then it's about guys fighting for a roster spot, so...
-I'd like to see Taylor showing signs of passing development from the pocket.
-Use of the middle of the field in the passing game, a few plays.
-How the WR's beyond the top 3 play.
If I can watch the game, I'd want to pay attention to DE Yarborough, TE Thomas, DT Adolphus, LB's Ragland, Vallejo, Milano, Hodges,OL Dawkins, Groy, K/P Rehkow, RB Williams, backup DB's because we'll use a lot of them, QB Peterman.
Effort and enthusiasm from guys trying to win jobs and more focus than Ryan's teams ever had.
Re: Vikings @ Bills -- Thursday August 10th -- OFFICIAL THREAD
Just heard an interesting factoid from yesterday's John Murphy Show. Under their current head coach, the Vikings are 12-1 in preseason. Apparently, Zimmer likes to use the preseason to build some momentum for the season.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
