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

In many years I don't think I have seen so many free agents coming to visit Buffalo. This has to be one of the most active off seasons the Bills have ever had. It started out sort of slow with just Fitzpatrick, then Florence signed, Coles is rumored to be close, now Kevin Jones, Pat Thomas, Cato June, Mike Peterson. Damn!
Maybe Ralph really does want to give it one last go before he croaks!
I'll take 1 superstar instead of 10 meh players any day of the week...
"Expect rejection, but expect more to overcome it."
***Marv Levy.***
"Coach Levy is one of the most inspirational people that I have ever known."
***Thurman Thomas.***
"You're not going to find a more classier, down-to-Earth person away from the field than Marv Levy. He's a guy who's pretty much made me what I am today as far as a professional player and a person."
***Jim Kelly***
The Bills are going for cheap guys that can't sign anywhere else.
They are still upgrades.. Let's say for now we sign June and K. Jones, who knows, right?
Center: Upgraded. Hangartner isn't a world beater, but he's at least better than Preston and Fowler, we can agree on that?
Backup QB: Upgraded. Fitzpatrick isn't the best, but JP Losman was a total trainwreck. Our backup QB literally LOST us football games.. That alone makes Fitpatrick an upgrade.
OLB: UPgraded with June. Though far from dominant, June is a lot better than Keith Ellison.
That's three positions that are improved over last year. Kevin Jones would give us good insurance for a pending Lynch suspension.
If we end up with Coles that's a HUGE upgrade to the WR position.
NOt to mention if we're able to redo Peters we get him for all of camp and hopefuly he plays like 2007 and not '08.
Are there still holes? Absolutely.
We need a LG for sure. Fine shouldn't be starting at TE. But we will still make another move too, especially at LG.. We'll get Simmons and I stand by the fact we're interested in trading with KC for Waters.
a TE can be had in the draft. So could a SS option to groom.
We can still get better without adding Pro Bowlers (though Waters is one)
Don't be so fast to say Fitzpatrick is an upgrade though. Yes JP is a trainwreck, but we can't be sure that Fitzpatrick isn't going to lose us games either. From what I've seen of him I'm not all too impressed. He had what, one good game in St. Louis two years ago? That's it.

he played decent last year in extended starting time for a WOEFUL Bengals team.

Was about to say the same thing....

June is signed?
Sorry, my bad, need to learn to read everything not scan.
When a QB plays for a bad offense, it's sometimes tough to tell whether he suck or not. I admit, I did not watch Bengals football last season, but I'm assuming that Fitzpatrick, who is genuinely bright, makes better decisions about what to do with the ball and when to get rid of it than Losman.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
