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

...once we're mathematically eliminated from the play-offs I make these moves...
Bench Gandy and Villariel, insert Pennington and Merz.
Bench Fletcher, move Crowell to the middle and play Spikes and Ellison on the outside.
Bench Thomas and start working Youboty into the line-up as the nickleback.
Bench Losman, play Nall the rest of the season.

If Losman is benched this year, the word "****ed" doesn't begin to describe the state of this franchise. It means we will either
a) go into next year with the EXACT SAME questions we had about Losman THIS year and LAST year (leave it to the Bills coaches/FO to leave problems unresolved for 3 consecutive seasons) or
b) be searching for a new QB this off season and still be 2-3 seasons away from having our franchise QB.
Seeing what Craig Nall has isn't worth it. Plus, what exactly do you expect to see from Nall with Merz and Pennington blocking for him?

I agree.
I'd bench Gandy and Villarial, but I'd also want to give Butler game time on the right which might mean moving Peters to LG, where I think he ought to be. I'd also want to see if a larger centre Merz or Preston might help.
We have to get Youboty into the mix. Clements is gone. He's too expensive for what he is offering and he doesn't want to stay.
Either TKO or FB need to be benched. I am even happy if we work DiGiorgio into the line up. FB is again someone who will leave as we cannot pay $5m+ to re-sign somebody on the downside of their career. I don't see TKO scaling his heights again ... nobody returning from the achilles including 'Achillies' ever does
I disagree with Nall. We already know he is a career back up. 5 years at the Pack should've warned us that. Dumping JP just gives us one less option.
I am not interested in respectability. If we crash and burn 2-14 but have had a chance to evaluate the entire roster properly in game time, the decisions we make in the offseason will be better for it.
Its 50/50 if JP is with us by 2008. I am in favour of drafting a good QB in Day1 and having a competition.
JP can still be a starter
Our draft choice could be a starter
Nall will never be anything more than a comparatively immobile back up
You realise if we put Nall up behind our current line, the Bills could face charges of corporate manslaughter? :)
Get rid of Collins he sucks, Johnson sucks, Bledsoe sucks, Flutie sucks, Losman sucks, I want to know how all these other teams draaft QB's and they do well. Hell they make there defense play better, keep there offenses from false starting and RB's not fumble and score TD's, Coaches stay longer than 2 years, O-line play better. Man I wish we could find that QB!
