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!
This is only a test
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.
KCs D is getting better over the last three seasons, Buffalo's is getting worse.
KC's D has never allowed 29.5 points per game in the playoffs, Buffalo's has two seasons in a row.
Thanks for supporting the premise.

We're not KC. They're going to another Super Bowl, already won one. Our season is over.
That's about as relevant as it gets, and no helping you if the point is beyond you.
I can't give a crap about how well or poorly KC did in "their games", they beat the Bengals and are going to the Super Bowl. Means nothing to the Bills, They didn't and are not, and that's pretty simple, cut and dried and take it to the bank.
That’s the point.
Again, the idea that "This defense sucks in the playoffs, plain and simple” is just true and it certainly is NOT “obvious”.

What claptrap. Just so you can **** on the Bills defense. How pathetic.

Sure it's true and obvious. All you have to do is watch the games to see them crumple, and comprehend what you're seeing. Surrendering an average of 371 yards over 9 playoff games, speaks for itself.
So, you are backtracking from the premise that "The sad thing is the defense needs quite a retooling right now. You might as well call it a rebuild.”??
1. The point is that the defense, and the team “look(s) a bit different” every year. Let season there was over a 25% turnover in the roster.
2. And saying that "We aren't going to make any big acquisitions on either side of the ball and going to need to shift money around just to have a roster” is opposite of the idea that "the defense needs quite a retooling right now. You might as well call it a rebuild”.
I don’t buy what you are trying to sell.
1. Last year was a good example of what you said: let's try and get better. This year we have some key players either not going to play next year or leaving as free agents. We have holes and shoes to fill and less $$$ to do that.
2. No it is not the opposite it compounds the issue stated above.
And the biggest problem is the offense has to get better as well. We really need WR and LT. Allen needs WR and LT.

The point is that the OFFENSE is THE OVERRIDING problem. NOT the defense. Every game we lost in 2022 was because of the failures of the OFFENSE.
Defense was really abused vs Cincy that abuse and 14 point hole is not on the offense.
the offense put up great numbers against a lot of weak teams but seriously this teams defense should never be part of a shoot out. Never. That is a D failure.

That is not accurate. The main reason the Bills got into a 14 point hole vs Cincy was because the offense failed miserably. After each of Cincy’s TD drives, the Bills offense looked like TOTAL **** and had consecutive three and outs.
After each of Cincy’s scores, the Bills offense **** THE BED.
Cincy TD, 7-0, next drive Buffalo goes three and out, punt.
Cincy TD after the Bills punt, 14-0, next drive Buffalo goes three and out, punt.
Bills force a Cincy punt, and the Bills finally score a TD, 14-7.
Cincy takes the ensuing kickoff and the Bills defense holds them to a FG....17-7.
Bills take the insuring kickoff and, what else, punts. End of 1st half, Cincy up 17-7.
Bills take the second half kickoff and instead of scoring a TD to get within 3 points, get to the Bengals SEVEN YARD LINE and can't get in...FG. 17-10.
Cincy takes the kickoff and scores another TD....24-10.
Bills responds with ANOTHER three and out....punt.
Cincy drives to the Bills two yard line, the Bills defense stops them....FG...27-10.
Bills “drive” to Cincy 16 yard line....cannot get in, turn over on downs.
Yes, the defense was not stellar, but, the offense was ABYSMALLY BAD. BAD, BAD, BAD. It is NOT the defenses fault if the offense scores only 10 points. As I have detailed already, in the NFL, if you score only 10 points you will LOSE almost ALL THE TIME!!!!
And, as has been detailed many, many times, the OFFENSE was at the root of the three losses the Bills suffered during the season. The DEFENSE, despite being hit with injuries to several of their BEST players, still performed at a very high level.
You want to be blind to reality, that’s your problem. The OFFENSE is what needs the most work. NOT the defense.
The D especially the line was abused by nobodies. It was a horrendous showing.
in 2 playoff games the leader in oases defended was Edmunds with 2… 2!
the DBs played poorly in the playoffs.
the pass rush blew after thanksgiving.
now offensively there was no adjustment for Josh with long routes taking too much time. The OLine got abused and that’s a problem. Dorsey had zero game plan… Cincy went short Quick release. And they ran
Buffalo had no RB over the middle no TE outlets… everything was deep and outside… in slick conditions.
but to claim the D didn’t have a major hand in the loss is just wrong.
