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

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- J.P. Losman can stop looking over his shoulder. He's won the right to be the Buffalo Bills starting quarterback beyond this year.
Citing Losman's improved performance as this season progressed, coach Dick Jauron said Thursday he intends to keep Losman as the team's starter going into next year.
Losman started slow but has shown a lot of progress over the last month. I'm satisfied with this, especially given that the other options are
a) Craig Nall
b) Jake Plummer
c) Trading away our entire draft to get Brady Quinn
The right choice, because now we can address making the rest of the team better without wasting a draft pick or cap money on a position that's stabilized and has the potential to be a major plus.

Dick Jauron is all of a sudden looking like a smart guy for sticking w/ JP Losman early on when a quarterback change would have been well-recieved by most Bills fans.
Myself included.
At this point, Losman looks the part of a good NFL quarterback.
Consider some of his numbers since the bye week...
He's 4-2 as the starter.
He has 8 touchdowns compared to only 4 interceptions.
He's engineered two last minute drives for the win.
He's got two wins against winning teams.
He's thrown for over 1000 yards.
He's thrown for a 64% completion rate.
His quarterback rating is about a 93.
All very good stats.
So it's understood that JP Losman is our guy for the immediate future.

Same here. JP's facing a scary dolphin D. Let's see how he does the rest of the season too.
It sounds bad, but I sort of hope they somehow get eliminated from the playoffs. I want to see how he and the rest of the team responds when there's truely nothing to play for.
That being said, he's exceeded all my expectations - on a very sub-par squad to boot. He's shown marked improvement, kept the majority of games close, produced some game-winning drives... all with a less than stellar OL, 1 WR, and no TE. I thought 5 wins would be progress... he's helped us get 6 and kept us (mathematically) in the playoff race midway through December.
I know what he's capable of now... now I want to see him execute when given a good supporting cast. I think he will be a damn good QB if given the right team to work with.
"I think it's great. I think it lets you go into the offseason with a mind-set of peace," Evans said. "I'm glad that Dick said that, but I wouldn't see why he wouldn't. I think (Losman's) done a lot and he's only getting better. The success we're having on offense, he's engineered."
