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

Mark my words, regardless of what JP does against Miami and the sentiment for him on the team he sits back down. The coaches have expressed their desire for Edwards to play and will hang a carrot out there to get JP to perform but they made their call. JP is playing exhibition for his next team, he is as good as gone.
Please do not take this as a QB controversy thread, take it as a reality thread.
I doubt it Skoob. If he plays well against the Fins, he will start against the Pats. He could be on a short lease but he will start. You can't mark my words but you can highlight them if you so choose
Cincy had the worst Defense we have seen so far this year, they we're brutal. You can pat our offense on the back all you want but our D won us the game, not the offense.
If they truly wanted Edwards to start, they'd throw JP to the dogs and let him get slaughtered by New England.
If your going to move forward to be the best, you have to play the best. TE has the advantage to watch a few weeks and rest. The Pats are riding real tall with a big head and are really hated right now. I would also safely say that outside of the collective pats nation, everyone wants to see them get cooked.

Who hasn't played well against the fins?? Do you really consider them the measuring stick for success??
The fins drafted like a 16 year olds playing madden 06'. Big play wide receivers sound great, unless you have no QB to pass to them. Why in the world would they even pass on a quality QB?? Sorry to say it out of respect for you but they have nothing right now, literally nothing. This nightmare will continue for years for the fins, literally years. When they do get some semblence of offense together, the D guys will be all new and trying to learn it all over again.
I won't argue with you Skooby but you are clearly are trying to notch up the QB controversy. Even if you claim differently. Had Edwards played, I believe you would have lost to the Bengals. Just one guys opinion
I am not being a TE homer or a JP homer, I being a realist. The coaches have made their choice and JP is the back-up. Feel good for JP moments are just that, moments. I am glad he came in and helped us and he saved us from the Jets. TE sprained his wrist and didn't look like the previous TE that we had seen. JP underthrows one ball that Evans pulled out so now we should change the course the team decided to go??? Give me a break.

What 8-12 yards pass did JP hit in the game yesterday? He made some good longer throws but is still incapable of touch passing. He could of had a baby in the amount of time he had in the back field. A healthy Edwards would of literally had 350 + yards with all day to pass. Brady would of had 425 +, Manning 450 +. Losman had 1 TD pass and 1 INT against a D / F grade defense. Losman has 85 passing attempts so far this year and 2 TD's to show for it. Maybe we should annoint him the permanent starter now and change the course the coaching staff has chosen??? UUmmmm, No.
Gotcha. Do you know that Peyton M is ~3 times more likely to throw a TD pass per attempt than JP?? Brady is ~7 times more likely. That is a brutal reality of it, we simply need more production. Thank god we have ML back there.
The only way we can beat the Pats is to throw caution to the wind and play aggressive. We aren't as talented, and thus our chance lies in throwing the Pats off-balance and forcing mistakes...and Losman is vastly superior for that sort of game plan.
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.

And Edwards hasn't had a ton of time to throw in 4 out of the 5 games? The ONE GAME he did get pressured and took some hits he got injured. Just like he did in college all the time. The guy just can't take hits. This is the guy you want to build a team around? A guy who hasn't made one great throw all season long and isn't tough enough to take hits and stay in the game?
Trent Edwards with 350+ yards? LOL. This coming coming from a guy with 1 TD and 5 INT and only 1 game of 175+ yards in nothing but home games. His one road start he was terrible and JP had to come in and save the day.
Fact is our offense scored 6 less points in the last 5 quarters then they did in 5 games with Trent playing. The team played a spirited performance and it's only obvious who they think is the better QB.
Some of your reasons why JP shouldn't be playing was because of his accuracy. He had a high completion percentage last year and this year he has a 66.3 %. Trent Edwards has a 66.1%. JP has a better percentage while throwing down the field and making plays. Trent has a worse one with throwing nothing but dumpoffs. With the kind of passes Trent throws he should be completing at least 70%.
JP has a 7.7 average. Trent has a 6.5. JP has a 87.5 QB rating. Trent has a 69.9 LOL. That is a good number for an adult film but not for the NFL.
In 13 quarters of football JP has 735 total yards. In 19 quarters of football Trent has 797. In the next 1.5 games JP would only have to amount 52 yards to pass Edwards.
Lee Evans has more yards in the last 5 quarters with Losman. Evans has 260 yards and 2 TD's in the last 5 quarters of football playing with Losman. He has 215 yards and 0 TD's playing with Trent in 19 total quarters.
In the last 3 games the Edwards lead offense had 671 total yards. They were 8-37 for 3rd down conversions and 25 points. In the last 5 quarters the Losman lead offense has had 640 yards of offense and were 9-14 on 3rd down conversions and has put up 43 points.
It's only obvious which QB the offense is the most productive and most lethal with and which QB the players believe in. Some Edwards fans like to claim that Edwards makes the plays to keep the chains moving when needed but he is 8-37 in the last 3 games. Should I add in the other two games also?
It's alright for you guys to swallow your pride. Had Trent been playing yesterday and we had the exact same game you guys would be stroking his knob by now.
The best thing to happen for this team was Edwards getting injured AGAIN. Had he not been injured we would 2-6 right now. It was obvious he wasn't doing anything against the Jets and wouldn't have pulled that game off on the road. For us to win yesterday Trent would've had to play a game similar to JP's which he has shown he is incapable of doing to this point. With Trent at the helm we would've been down by 2 scores at halftime and would've been trying to play catchup all day. Instead we had the lead for most of the game and took the Bengals out of their gameplan.
