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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

If you're a 4th or 5th WR, you need to be a decent special teamer. Don't know if Watts is.
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?
I think the Bills aren't going to add anyone at WR for the 2007 season. I think the #2 receiver is going to be a platoon type situation, with Josh Reed in on alot of running plays for his blocking, and PP and Parrish mixed in there as well. I think Aiken stays again for 2007 for his special teams play only, and possibly Fast Freddy or a rookie free agent who catches on might make it as a 6th receiver/special teamer/utility player type.
Why does everybody always have to single out Aiken?
Some posters don't seem to understand the emphasis (and rightfully so) that the Bills put on special teams - and that backup position players often make the roster based on their ST ability.
That being said, Aiken is not a bad WR, either.

Aiken needs to get his chance and I believe he will surprise people. I love what I see from him each year in camp. Plus, he's one of our only receivers over 6 foot.
I kept rooting for aiken to have a good reveiving year, too. I've accepted reality in his case, though. He's simply not good enough. With all the new, young guys we have (Wilson, Leonhard, Wendling, DiGiorgio, etc) and with the signing of Scobey, it might be time to move on. He's good on special teams, but he had zero catches last year and six total special teams tackles. I want to see what Justin Jenkins can do.

Wilson has been doing defensive work. He doesn't impress me much at all for WR.

I didn't mean to suggest Wilson as an option at receiver, but rather, on special teams.
I used to be impressed by Aiken because I was hopeful, but he's had his chance at receiver. He might still make the team because, unfortunately, our options at receiver might not be any better, but it's time to pin some opes on the younger guys like Jenkins, Morgan, Brown, Quinn, Denney, Mayle, Smith...
Wasnt Sammy Aiken leading the ST in tackles? I see him as a special teamer first and used for that primarily. Anything done at WR is bonus. Watts would just be another average receiver on the roster.
