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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Anyone who thinks this guys is not an INSTANT upgrade over Miloy is crazy. If you keep hitting "next" you will see Price at number 7.
If your not really excited in the direction the Bills are moving, then you probablly should not be reading Bills message boards..... If that makes me a homer so be it. After a slow start, I ecpect this team to start looking really good around October.
calling Price an "impact newcomer" kind of killed the credibility for me.
While I don't like all the moves the Bills have made this off season, I think there's a decent chance they're headed in the right direction long term- I just don't see it paying off in time to make a run this year.
And they forgot to mention that Price was trying to catch balls from perhaps the most scatter-armed QB in the NFL, that media darling Ron Mexico.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Price could be a decent pickup if he can regain 75% of his 2002 form.
he had something like 94 catches in '02- 75% of that would put him in the 70-catch range. That would be significantly better than decent. But I think Price is washed up.

Ron Mexico was injured for almost the entire year during one of Price's seasons in Atlanta, and he was with Bledsoe in Dallas last year- Bledsoe was the QB during the best year of Price's career.
So you can't blame Price's problems on Michael Vick.

You're right. I completely forgot that he went blind and his hands fell off at the wrists.
Just disregard that Vick's backup may actually have been less effective than Vick himself (although that's hard to imagine) and that coming into Dallas at midseason was a little different than his situation in Buffalo.
But hey, you're right. We all know that Price - like most of the Bills - will suck, because you have pronounced it so.
Christ, I get tired of it.

who was throwing to him when Ron got injured?
A for his situation in Dallas, it's not like he was with the team and knew the offense off the bat even if it was Drew qb'ing the cowboys. Not even Meshawn was anything great with Drew at qb and you expect Price to just come in and shine?

Oh, I'm sorry, I completely forgot. A player that has struggled for 3 consecutive seasons will suddenly be decent now. Why? No real reason, just because he's on the Bills.
I'm sure our tumultuous QB situation, weak OL, new offensive system and lack of a proven #1 receiver to play opposite him will aid in Price's ressurection.

Jan was blaming Price's struggles on Michael Vick. Of the 2 1/2 seasons that Price played since leaving Buffalo, Price played 1 with Vick, 1 with Vick's back-up, and one with Bledsoe- who QB'd during the best season of Price's career. Now, maybe there were other factors that contributed to Price's poor performance over that span (and football is a team game so there probably were), but Price's performance certainly can't be blamed on Michael Vick.

Nobody is saying that but we're not discounting the possibility that he could do well under the right circumstance. ShEEZ , when will you ever learn?

Again, are you so sure we're are weak in those positions? Give me a freakin breakdown of your predictions or stop filling the board with your negativity, Nancy.

the fact that you couldn't easily answer the question and instead call him "Vick's back-up " proves my point.
If Price failed in a perfect scernario, we wouldn't have this discussion. Tells us , was he in a perfect scenario? NO!!!

why is it that you seem to think that there are no players who just lack talent or are washed up? If it takes a perfect scenario for a player to be good, how good are they really? How many RB's have been good in Denver but sucked everywhere else when they didn't have a monster OL blocking for them?
And why is it that you always ask me for "detailed predictions", but you never ask the same thing of people who say Price, Parrish etc will be good? Why aren't you asking Jan Reimers to predict how many catches, yards and TD's price will have? I've already admitted that I'm not trying to make bold predictions here- just stating how I think the team will do.
