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

Maybe our offense is bad because of personnel and Gilbride/Clements were/are doing their best to make up for it.
Our offense did suck because of Gilbride. It was a pass first offense with a weak offensive line which won't work. The Bills have matched up against three very good defenses the first three weeks and you've got a rookie HC and rookie OC. We're trying to play a ball control offense which is not designed to get into shootouts. Add and extra TD or so, which is doable and we'll have what we were all clamering for last year.
The Bills absolutely should have won the first game. The last 2 we got slightly outplayed but penalties/breaks could have easily reversed both outcomes.

We've scored 10 points per game and adding 7 more is doable? Expecting a 70% improvement is pretty optimistic, don't you think?

Not really. After all, Henry DID in fact score a TD last week, even the NFL admits it. That's one TD. And Moulds fumble on the 10 and Lindell's easy miss is at least 6 points in week 1.

Mistakes are mistakes ... they always seem to happen with this team and I don't expect that to change.
I still can't believe how people are complaining about Drew. He played a good game today and should shoulder very little of the blame for this loss. Penalties and the usual b.s. patriots luck (the 2nd dillon fumble, the roughing the pass against fletcher) lost this game for us. Drew's only mistake was a miscommunication with moulds. The O-line played great until the 4th quarter... all the Pats had to do was blitz, Mike Williams is a bust, he allowed Bruschi to come in untouched and cause a fumble. I don't know how Drew can be blamed for that either.. try turning around on a play action and getting popped like that. The defense gave up a couple big plays.. no excuse for that Patten touchdown.. he was WIIIIDE open. I know Bledsoe backers are few and far between these days but this was a good game on Bledsoe's behalf. Let's not forget they kept it interesting all game against a team that's won now 18 games in a row. Who knows... I doubt it but they could still come around and make a run for the playoffs. As a former patriots fan, I can see a little bit of Pete Carrol in Mularkey. He needs to be tougher with his players and beat on them a little bit in practice if he wants to avoid the penalties. Ok, I've vented. --P.S. this game would have been much different if Milloy was healthy!
