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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

In games that Edwards has started and finished in since joining the Bills his record is:
9-7
Compare this to Losman who is 2-6 over the same period.
I did not count games where the guy who started didn't finish.
Edwards is a second year player who's not on a very good team but he has a winning record. Just thought I'd like to remind you not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
True, in terms who is better, Edwards or Losman, it's clear. However, as a whole, the team fails to beat teams with winning records and is only capable of beating bottom-feeders.

Edwards could easily disappoint me next year but I stilll believe this guy is not the issue at this point.
But but but JP can throw it threw the goalposts from the 50 and he just hasn't been given a fair chance here. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR. JP needs just a few more chances to show he's an elite player. But he needs more help. It's really quite simple and it's RIDICULOUS we haven't done this.
1) hire some all world coaches.
2) draft or sign all pro's at the other 10 offensive positions.
3) draft or sign all pro's at all 11 defensive positions so he'll get the ball in decent field position.
4) limit the offense to either running plays or fly patterns with some flea flickers.
THEN JP is going to make you mean old haters rue the day you ever doubted him.
i think one thing that is lacking under the jauron led teams is swagger. And you can even see it from the JP fumble play last week.
DJ called in the PA pass and players disagreed with it. Is this the first time this has ever happened in the NFL? Probably not. But his laid back attitude allows players to question the play and then fail to execute. It allows JP to not fully pull off the play action. It allows Peters to not block a soul on the play (regardless if elam was his assignment or not, he has to put a block on someone), it allows Mcintyre to get jammed at the line.
You have to have a coach who says "i'm calling the plays. i don't care if you like them or not, you better execute what has been practiced or you aren't playing the next set of downs or games."
It's one thing to be a people manager in an office gig. But it's another to be the people's manager in a fast paced environment. you need to make decisions quickly and you need everyone on the same page. Even if they don't like it, they need to buy it or mistakes will happen.
A better team would have had all 11 people doing the right thing. it would have ended with a thrown away pass at the worst.
This doesn't let JP off the hook for 4 miserable years of QBing, but it does explain why we come up short so many times during the season and end with the same "i don't like the play calls" comments we hear. You don't have to like the calls, kids. you need to execute them.
I don't disagree with you about JP. However all the excuses or reasons whichever word you prefer given for Edwards not being really good yet are the same excuses and reason the JP people used! Bottom line they both suck and so do the HC's an OC's they played for!

If Edwards is still stinking up western New York in his third year like JP did in his FIFTH, the excuses will go away as they did for JP.
I think most critics have been pretty consistent relative to the level of experience.
And frankly, they're not the same QB, so the same excuses aren't always valid for both.

I disagree...it is way too early to put that label on TE.
