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!

But by scoring more points as I expect them to do, the 1,2 & 3 point wins will become 7, 10 & 14 point wins.
The defense isn't any better and has the same weaknesses it had last year and even more. And you're dreaming if you think Manuel is going to suddenly come out of his coma and figure out how to compete at the professional level with any kind of consistency. The Bills are a mediocre team. Nothing has changed significantly other than the loss of Alonzo, Johnson, and Byrd and the addition of a rookie wideout.
But you're welcome to your opinion. It's not based in anything remotely associated with reality, but there ya go.
I think the bills will win more games because the run game will move the ball and score more TD's which will only benefit the passing game. I don't think the passing game will carry the run game. It's the other way around.

BS. Here is the reality. Pettine sold out the run game to all out Blitz. Schwartz will had a more fundamentally sound defense than Pettine did.
And no it does not have the same weaknesses as last year. Brandon Spikes was not a Bill last year for one thing.
Even with the loss of Kiko for the year, the Bills LB group will be much better than last year.
And in addition to Watkins the Bills added a GOOD vet in Mike Williams.
But you & your fellow pessimists are welcome to your opinion as well.
Well, when 3-13 has been the cry of the pessimist, 8-8 is a significant jump.
Ceiling. 6-10 more likely.
Still 8-8 is nothing when you've failed as long as the Bills have. Failing that, this will mark a full decade of sub 0.500 seasons. Not even the brutal stretches of the early 80's or the late 60's come close.
The Bills starting defense looked awesome against the Giants, and that was without Gilmore & McKelvin.
I agree. They looked darn good for those two series. Of course, no one is expecting much from the Giants anyway. And the Giants kind of showed what our depth is like when they ran roughshod over the second stringers.
EJ on the other hand...............no receiver can catch a ball batted down at the line of scrimmage.
Agreed. Just shows he still looks down his receivers.

Well, it was the Giants first string that ran roughshod over the 2nd string of the Bills.
Eli looked no better than EJ the first two series. I would be concerned if I were a Giants fan.
