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

Here's another question. Something that ticks me off.
Re: Here's another question. Something that ticks me off.
Who said that the Bills talked about trading for him? The media said that the Bills were interested in Troy Smith. No one knows if the Bills were actually interested in him. What is the love affair with this guy? He HAS DONE ZERO IN THE NFL and got cut from an NFL team just like Brian Brohm did who is also still doing nothing with the Bills.
Re: Here's another question. Something that ticks me off.
Has anyone picked up Troy Smith? Isn't it a bit sad that we are hoping a QB who couldn't make a roster will come here and be a savior? I thought that was what Brian Brohm is for.
I'm sick of retreads, practice squad guys, journeymen, and Trent Edwards. I hope the suffering, disgrace, and utter crap we have to endure this season will allow us a chance at a real QB prospect. Give me Mallet or Luck. I've soured on Locker. He reminds me of a Rob Johnson. All the physical attributes, but it doesn't seem to translate on the field. No signature wins, erratic passing accuracy, etc. With our luck though both Mallet and Luck will stay in school.

So just building through the draft and the first piece of the "Dynasty" was Spiller correct ? With all the holes this team has and just building through the draft Spiller will be out of football or running for another team by the time all the pieces are in place for contention. From the NFLPA figures the average life of an NFL RB is 2.6 years. So what sense did drafting Spiller make when there were higher priority's as far as building this team ? Meaning the lines and a franchise QB (need one of these for a "dynasty')
Building this team purely through the draft will take say 3 drafts min. and thats if they draft good players not busts like last years #1 Maybin, lol
The odds are against Spiller even being here when this process of "dynasty" building is ready. That means this years #1 was a less than smart pick. So I guess we start with the next draft.

Also signing Free Agents and I mean the right Free agents can significantly speed up the process of building winners. Believe it or not it has been done in Buffalo before with success certain names come to mind over the years and these guys were players from other teams that did not break the bank and were able to contribute in winning football.
Frank Lewis, Phil Vilapiano, James Lofton, Bryce Paup, Kenneth Davis, Leonard Smith, Jim Jeffcoat and many more if you want me to actually look them up.
All of these players were"other teams scrubs" as you say.

Buffalo is in no position to sign FAs, its a tough sell man no one wants to be here

Yeah it was like that in the 80's. Jim Kelly refused to come to Buffalo and went to the USFL. Then he came because the right person was given a job in the FO. as GM, Bill Polian. Then guess what ?? They all came here and Buffalo was a winner and a good place to play.
So if Nix is not the guy who can get players to come to Buffalo and play football then I don't think he is the right guy for the GM job. You gotta have some salesman in you.
