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

I got a good laugh when Nix said that about Jasper. Also, what TEs were off the board when it was their time to pick? Locker and Green were both available with one of the later picks. Was the just posturing on Chan's part?
I'm with you. Gailey was pretty much our last resort, but I just love how he coaches the guys up. Talk about improvement in one year on offense.
Nix has a great track record and I think, although it was an in-house, unexciting hire at the time, that we should have been happier to get him than we were.
I love that there's a plan (you can tell pretty easily) right now. I haven't felt this comfortable with a group in a LONG time. Surely before I was old enough to form an educated opinion.
The players all love each other and rally around ONE QB? When is the last time we had that? Just a great group of young men and a great group of talented ones, at that. I'm happy to be a Bills fan for the first time in a long time.
The playoffs might not be in our immediate future, but I feel like we're not treading water anymore. We're on our way.
It's always interesting to see what they will say.
Gailey says, " a) we needed players and 2) the best players on the board..."
Nix says, "He’s not as big as you’ve got him listed. He’s lost down to 378 lbs, so he’s drying up to nothing"
The bit that follows is just as funny, as he's asked what they are going to do with him, at which point Nix starts to pass the question to Chan, but says, apart from feed him...
They won 4 games in their first year together after taking over from a crappy staff and did worse with just about the same players. They have proved nothing at all thus far, not sure why anyone has anything but skepticism towards them. They hardly played any draft picks last year, how do we know what happens this year? If all these guys play this year, know what that means? Means they sucked ass picking last year then.
They are still a work in progress...The honeymoon is officially over and the signs are encouraging for everybody except those who think the game revolves the QB position only but just as we witnessed some offensive progress last season, we need to see the same from all three sides of the ball in '11 and the results have to start manifesting themselves in the W column.

you're just mad that our coherent front office didn't waste one of our draft pics on one of the ****ty quarterbacks in this draft.
coherent huh?
good choice of words.
yes i would have liked a quarterback. your right
i am pretty happy with some of the guys we got.
our d line should be stacked now
but then again we still wont be doing enough to win.
if merriman plays (well), and some other guys pay out the way we want. then our d should be set
but remember that thing that wins games...... POINTS...... how will we get them.
FITZ?
some but probubly not enough.
thats my only point. and im fine with losing every game this year. cuz we HAVE TO GET a franchise face of the franchise qb and untill we do we wont win a superbowl and im willing to be we wont win playoff games.
a decent qb can win a fluke super bowl. but a franchise qb makes a perennial powerhouse.

Fitz put up enough points to win 10 games with a solid defense last year. Any season where you lose games where the offense puts up 30 points the problems aren't with the guy under center.

so are you trying to say that we dont have a problem with our guy under center.

by the way.....
we lost two games last year with 30 + points.
and lost 7 games with 14 - points...
id say that the stats speak for themself
a decent qb can win a fluke super bowl. but a franchise qb makes a perennial powerhouse.
The defense allowed 31+ points 9 times, 8 of them being 34+ pts allowed showings. They couldn't stop anyone on the ground, several RBs had career days against that unit.
This was a weak QB class. If certain underclassmen next year declare, and even the top seniors coming out continue to develop, it looks to be a decently strong class. I'm happy they passed on QB this season. Fitz is good enough to win some games with this year and have someone develop under him for a year if they take a QB next season.
