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

The Great Blue North Draft Report [http://www.gbnreport.com/] had this take on Tom Donahoe and PP today:
"Bills keep options on Price open...Despite using a franchise tag to keep WR Peerless Price nominally off the free agent market, Buffalo reportedly is keeping all its options open regarding Price. The Bills are believed to want to keep Price in Buffalo where he combines with Eric Moulds to give the team one of the top 1-2 WR punches in the league; the Bills, though, only appear to want to keep Price at a 'reasonable' price and that is a lot less than Price likely could command on the open market where teams like Washington and Atlanta among others are expected to be in hot pursuit if he every became available. Indeed, the Falcons are believed to have already talked to the Bills about it would cost to get Price in a trade. Atlanta, or any other team, can still sign Price, but would owe the Bills a rather prohibitive price - two first round draft picks - if Buffalo opted not to match the offer sheet. The Bills, in fact, would like to regain the 2003 first round pick they sent to New England for QB Drew Bledsoe and would likely to willing to work a sign-and-swap deal for a #1 pick this year if it became clear they weren't going to be able to sign Price to a long-term deal."
To summarize, TD would still like to keep PP, but only if he can reach a long term agreement at what he feels is a fair price for a second receiver, albeit a productive one. If that deal can't be reached, he wants to use PP to regain a first round draft choice. He does have at least one suitor in Atlanta.
Unfortunately Green Bay is offering Terry Glenn and will greatly undercut TD's price. Depends on how much Atlanta is willing to pay for quality.
After reading some of his interviews I think Donahoe will always draft the best athelete availabel to the Bills, Thats how we got Josh Reed.
I don't always have faith in the brain trust but this time I do. They will get us the best football players available with what they have to work with pick wise.
Or....maybe he just specializes in picking WR's in which case it will endear him to the QB's
