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

JP is not one of the worst of all time, not even the worst Bill. How about Billy Joe Hobert, Todd Collins.
The one thing that dissappionted me most. The OL play especially Gandy he wiffed many blocks. They tried the extra TE did not seem to help. Until we improve the OL and blocking schemes it does not really matter who we have back there. I personally like JP he has a lot of things to learn but at least showed some promise this year (except for the last 2 games) lets give the guy a little slack - see how he does this week with the back against the wall against the Pats. Look at it this way - he is the best chance we have for now - the only way he is gonna improve is to play.
Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills .... Bills Mafia for life
Yeah...I thought so
It's a team game in the NFL...this ain't fantasy football
I'm tiring of hearing the 'surrounding talent' argument.
Could the o-line be better? Yes. Could the defense be better, especially on the line? Yes. Could the play-calling or coaching in general be better? Yes. Could we use another quality receiving threat opposite Evans? Yes.
Give this team the best of all worlds as far as surrounding talent, though, and ANYBODY could be the QB of the Buffalo Bills. We could win with Holcomb or Nall if the rest of the roster was chock full of studs and stars. Just ask Brian Billick, Joe Gibbs, Chuck Noll, Mike Ditka, John Gruden, John Madden, Don Shula, Vince Lombardi, etc.
Is that all JP, a QB we traded up into the first round to snag, is supposed to be? Serviceable? Why the hell should the team pay first round money for 'adequacy' instead of excellence?
Star QB's in this league, one's worth the big money and status, make the team around them better by making plays when the world IS NOT perfect between the lines on the gridiron. Big time, franchise-type QB's have the ability to carry a team, not come along for the ride.
They lead, not follow. They will their teams to a better performance, and victories. They overcome the mistakes of others, not ask others to overcome the errors they make.
If all anyone is looking for out of JP is to be average or below and ride shotgun through the season, fine...those are your standards and your opinions and you're welcome to them.
I expect more out of JP. I expect him to to lead, and lead by example and performance. Thus far he hasn't shown the ability to do that, and that's disappointing.

It is premature and totally without supporting fact to refer to Losman, "dollar for dollar," as "among the worst QBs to ever play the game. . . "
The only "worst" going on here is this ill-conceived and totally useless thread. It adds nothing relevant to any intelligent discussion of Bills' football.
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?
