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

WGR reports that Losman was talking to reporters about the situation and says "Hey, I guess they're taking a chance just like I took a chance and bought a house."
Evans also reported saying "I am wondering how much money has to do with this.."
I think he might be referring to the $3 million bonus he's due depending on his playing/stats.
Ya, even that though...Edwards wouldnt be playing if Losman was out there putting together great games....im not hating on Losman, im actually a fan, but people speak as though its only an issue of money. I mean although thats a factor, its not the only thing.
maybe $3MM is an issue. but why pay for something that hasn't been earned. if it was your money as an owner and you had wealth, wouldn't you want to pay the guys who earned it?
Evans can be pissed, but if he plays well and has games like the ravens game, owners will pay you $ for that. If he wants his position here, he can perform and he can get it. Losman hasn't done that.
Again, i like Losman, i wanted him to succeed. but there is currently a better option. why fight it and make excuses for it. it is what it is. Edwards gives us the best chance to win.
If we are going to keep Evans past next season, we are going to have to release or trade JP in the offseason. While Lee still plays here, time will heal his wounds, if you will. if we are going to stick with Trent, then the FO needs to get JP onto a new team. I suspect they will let him seek out a trade partner in the offseason.
If we pony up and pay lee, which is the right thing to do, he will be a good little soldier and a great reciever. I just hope he doesn't get blackballed for supporting and defending JP.

Well I'm assuming that Evans doesn't think Edwards gives them the best chance to win, so therefore it looks like to him that they're not giving Losman a chance to earn that bonus because they have a cheaper alternative.
Let me make this easy for everyone. This isn't about paying Losman. Every media outlet thinks Edwards should be starting, including our own local paper.
Can we get past the conspiracy theories?
The truth of the matter is that JP has never played great. At times he has played well but has never looked that comfortable under center.
JP knows better than anybody especially how he was given the job after Bledsoe left.
i like Losman, and i feel badly that he embraced the city of Buffalo in hopes of having a long and successful career here. It's sad for him, but the NFL is a business, and people unfortunately lose their jobs every day. i'm sure he's disappointed and upset about the decision.
As to Evans, he probably feels he is supporting "his" QB by speaking out. The reality is, he needs to accept the decision that's been made and do his best to have a great season.
