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

Edwards showed poise, and "veteran leadership" in practice this week according to Bills starters. "Thats what I needed" said one player, regarding Edwards.
Coaches and players backing Trent, warm that bench up JP because your days are DONE.

1 good drive followed by several 3 and outs shows me nothing.
you can't rate a QB after 1 start.
the guy won 11 games as a college QB.
No kidding.
People get so sucked in. Right now in some people's minds, there is no chance in hell that Edwards fails. We could be drafting a QB in the 1st round next year for all we know.
1 good drive followed by several 3 and outs shows me nothing.
you can't rate a QB after 1 start and 3 days of practice.

Dude. He came in as a rookie, first game.. against the leagues best and pulled out 7 points. Get real. Give him time, JP has had P L E N T Y
and bro,
..STANFORD! ahahahahaha come on!

Well, if he's the savior, he would have come in and gone Vince Young on the Pats. Yeah, Stanford, big deal, if he's so damn good he would have carried his team to more than 11 wins in over 30+ starts. I could care less how much "talent" a guy has, I want to see wins. I want a QB who shows me he can win games, not a guy who comes in and has 1 good drive. Yeah, he's a rookie, but so were Tom Brady and Vince Young -- on "bad teams" -- that found ways to win at a young age. This guy has played 3.5 mediocre quarters and people are anointing him as the savior without seeing 90% of what he's capable of. Absolutely absurd.
He lit them up for 1 drive and you want to hand him the keys to the car. After that he went something like 6-15 and 50 yards.
This kind of knee-jerk thinking is exactly why this team has flat out SUCKED for 8 ****ing years, because people want to proclaim the savior after 3 good plays then throw him to the wolves after they realize their knee-jerk reactions were based on nothing.
GET REAL.
This reminds me of people calling for Johnson, Losman, and Collins when they showed "poise" after 3 quarters.

WHAT THE **** DO WE HAVE TO LOSE!?!?! NOBODY IS SAYING HES A ****ING SAVIOR. WE ARE SAYING "WHY THE **** NOT!?!?!".
THE ORGANISATION IS ****ED AS IT IS, THE ONLY WAY TO GO NOW IS UP. AND OBVIOUSLY JP IS NOT THE ANSWER. MAYBE THROW AWAY A FEW MORE SEASONS WITH HIM? EDWARDS SHOWED A GLIMMER OF HOPE, AND THATS MORE THAN THAT PIECE OF **** JP HAS SHOWED ME SINCE HE CAME HERE.

Edwards was said to be impressive in training camp, and of course he had a great showing in preseason games. The real test is what he can do when NFL defenses throw some deception at him at full speed. That's what slowed him down against NE after his first drive. Mangini is no dummy. He's seen film of the Buffalo-NE game. He'll have his own variations on that strategy. I'm sure Buffalo is doing their best to simulate what they think he might see versus the Jets, but unless they are awfully good guessers, Trent is still going to see some things he's never seen before, and the odds are he'll still look like a rookie some of the time. Hopefully, he can get enough of a crash course this week to A. let him use more of the playbook than he was allowed last week and B. give him a chance cope adequately with the stuff NY's defense throws at him.
Yeah, they also said "WHY THE **** NOT" with Collins, Johnson, Losman, and Holcomb... and look where it got us. Progressively worse each time.
I agree that we might not have "anything to lose" by playing Edwards, but the fact that everyone is getting their hopes up based on his 1 good drive against the Pats is downright comical.

Man, if only this board had more decent posts like this instead of ballistic knee-jerk reactions...

the Losman excuses stem from poor play calling,bad coaching,etc.....the same doesn't apply for Edwards?i think we have a legitamite beef for Edwards not being able to "come in and go Vince Young."
we've put up with 3.5 years of below average results with Losman.if you want "a QB who shows me he can win games,"it's absolutely absurd that you think Losman is the answer.
