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

For everyone that hates Steve Fairchild... how can you like Trent Edwards' production and hate Steve Fairchild at the same time? Granted, there were some questionable play calls yesterday, I don't understand why it took so long to get Freddie Jackson involved in the offense when they claim they knew he was good, but a rookie QB is playing pretty consistent and steady for the Bills right now, does't Fairchild deserve some credit for that?
I've been very disappointed in Fairchild this year. However, his in-game adjustments have improved the last couple of weeks. Part of that is certainly Trent playing with efficiency versus JP's more erratic play, but the calls themselves aren't nearly as bad as they were early in the year. For example: there is a time to go for the big play on 3rd down. Game one, against Denver, late, in a tight game - no. Yesterday, in a game where we're up by 2 TD's, but have a chance to really put our thumbs in their throat - yes. It's not that the plays suck, it's that the timing has sucked. Another example - We'd be foolish not to throw WR screens or hitches every now and then. We were also foolish to throw several of them in one game to the point that nobody could possibly be fooled by the call. Again, timing of the calls.
It was a great win. I'm happy with the way we won. Both OC and QB had a great day.
Lets see what he can do against playoff D's. JP toched the fins for 21 points in his first year under Moolarkey. The fins then had a better D and JP didn't have an OL like we had yesterday.

One example is right in your post.
Why did he wait so long to adjust things last year, too?
I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

Except if Trent threw that pass on 3rd and 1 against Denver, we might be 8-4.
I think that is the point.

The point is, the guy has made some mistakes. However, there is a rookie QB playing pretty steady out there right now. Doesn't he deserve some credit for that as well as the coaching staff overall? By no means is Edwards "lights out", but he's steady and consistent, much more so than our 4th year veteran QB. That says something.
