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

Neither team has a QB and each had their choice of Leinart or Cutler. Ironically, Marv loves Cutler but didn't draft him, which could haunt Marv for the rest of his life.

Either, decision could of haunted us. To be honest, I was one of those people hoping we picked Leinart.. I was screaming at the top of my lungs when we picked Whitner. Now when I look back, it was the right move. Everytime you see a skill position player with a good pedigree, fall down to you, its natural you want to take him over the nitty gritty positions.
Didn't you guys trade up to get Whitner? If I remember correctly Houston was trying to trade up to that spot to take DeAngelo Williams but Buffalo offered more and took Whitner. As much as I like DeAngelo I should probably be thanking you since DeMeco Ryans fell to us (Houston).

Whitner was taken 8th overall.
We traded up to the 26th spot and selected John McCargo, DT. Chicago got our 2nd rounder and one of our 3rd rounders.
DeAngelo Williams went the very next pick to Carolina.
Very few safeties in the history of the league are worth taking that high. To me it's like comparing two mistakes. But if I had to choose I'd say Buffalo made the bigger mistake. No question.

Have the Buffalo Bills ever did anything right in your eyes?
To say its not worth taking xxxx position high is dumb.
50% of first round picks are busts. So it really doesn't matter what position you take, as long as the guy is good enough to start and play for years, it was a good pick.

And I think we've already seen with Whitner that it should be the case for him that he can be an effective starter for us for a while. You can debate all day about skill vs. need when it comes to drafting... it's just about always a crapshoot anymore though. With this team, we're at a point where a single star isn't going to help us that much, we seem to be much better off taking people in positions that we really need to improve. We started in the right direction this year, but we still obviously have some glaring spots that need more help this offseason. Most of those that have been in need for the past several years.
And yes, that was an unsubtle dig at our crappy offensive line and the complete lack of interested the organization has taken in rebuidling it...

How so? Jay Cutler reminds me of some one already on the roster by the name of ** ******....to something of an eerie extent. If we're going to draft a replacement for **, why draft his seperated-before-brith-and-injected-back-in-after-2-years-long-lost twin?
Good riddance Fairchild. Of course, the knowledge of your departure will only make TE more hateable than the typical Bills QB. Good luck, hope we don't mess you up like JP.
