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!
Crappiest weather yet this season- and there was a lot of crappy weather this year.
The folks on both sides of Yle and me left at the half, we left after it hit 27-7.
Interesting comments about the color commentary. I listened to AVP on the radio during the game, and being there, you see a hell of a lot more beyond the eye of the TV camera.
Early on, the Brown's CB Henry was daring the Bills to throw to Moulds early. One on one coverage, and Henry played nose to nose vs Moulds. One slip, and Moulds is wide open with half the field to play with.
Early on, AVP said "When you see that, you got to check out of whatever play it is and go for it with Moulds". The Bills did, but because Moulds could not hold on to a couple, and could not get seperation, Bledsoe tossed a few away. Bledsoe tried to get Henry to bite on pump fakes to spring Moulds, and that didn't work. That Henry guy had a hell of a day.
When everyone was dropping the ball due to slick snow/rain conditions- (Sure handed McGahee and Clements) the Bills eventually just went with a very conservative approach.
The stat I liked was the final score.... 37-7. wheather he got 100 yards or 500 yards is irrelivant- we won. If there were no mistakes, it should have been 50-7 easliy.

It was that wonderful mix of snow and wet "not really rain but not snow" that melts as soon as it hits everything and the temp was about 35...makes for cold and wet...that is why, during the Kelly days, players used to talk about just having it cold (under 30) and snowy, that way you might be cold but things aren't wet.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
C'mon. He was 12/27 (44%) for 100 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT, and 1 FUM against a 22nd ranked D. What's not to like? -Mr. Cynical
Actually sir, 12/27 passing is just above 50%

Smartest post thus far. In the end, that is all that really matters. The thing about the fans that a select few call "The Drew Love Crew" is that it is not that those people are oblivious to his sometimes crappy play, it is more that he is our best and only option at this point, and some of us feel the need to rally around him. Furthermore, there is also no need to try and attach every single mistake the team makes onto Drew. Yesterday we saw a perfect example of Mould 1-1 with a relative unknown corner, Drew takes a chance and heaves up a ball expecting that his star receiver (everyone talks about how strong and how great he is) is going to get it 9 of 10 times, and Moulds dropped it... I don't see anyone complaining about that. The receivers drop balls and it is still Drew's fault.
I personally am not a lover or a hater. One week I'm like "Drew kicks ass" and the next time I'm like "that sorry piece of, good for nothing mother, stupid ass...
Tasker was great as a player, but he really sucks as an announcer. And no, I'm not just saying that because he was critical of Bledsoe. I think that he tries so hard to not sound like a homer when he is announcing the Bills games, that he's over critical of almost everything Buffalo does.
