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

The Bills may be regretting the decision to give quarterback Ryan Fitzpatick a six-year, $59 million deal.
Per a league source, the Bills could trade or cut Fitzpatrick before the seventh day of the 2012 league year and owe him nothing further than the $3.22 million base salary he was already due to earn in 2011 and the $10 million signing bonus he was paid upon inking the new deal last month.
Not saying the Bills should or shouldn't... But, if the season continues in a downward spiral, resulting in the Bills getting a draft pick where a "franchise" QB would be available, this could possibly be an option.

if it'll save The Old Fart money, consider it done.

Re: Bills could avoid most of Fitzpatrick’s new deal
Why did every Bills QB from the past 10 years including Bledsoe, JP, and Trent get approx. a 50% contingent of fans who blamed the line constantly, yet no one seems to notice that Fitz's issues seemed to coincidentally parallel the rash of injuries to the OL this year.
Not that he's blameless, but having a little more time does wonders for a QB's accuracy.

I agree with you. Look through some of my past posts. One thing I'm consistent with is the fact that the offensive line has been bad since before Nix and Gailey got here, yet, they have done NOTHING to remedy the situation.
I just found the layout of Fitz's deal interesting. A lot of people were very concerned about giving him $60 million. Now that the numbers and structure of the contract are coming out, it looks pretty fail-safe for the Bills.
If Fitz performs, he'll get a decent chunk of change for a starting QB in the NFL. If not, the Bills can cut bait and save themselves a good portion of the contract every offseason.
Re: Bills could avoid most of Fitzpatrick’s new deal
Fitz sucks! All year he has started games SLOW and that is why the offense starts slow. If we had a super dominant defense then Fitz might be average at best.
Re: Bills could avoid most of Fitzpatrick’s new deal
He just needs to clam down. He looked like he was trying to throw the ball through a brick wall yesterday. I bet we see some of the early '11 Fitz again before the season is done.
As for his deal... I have to imagine it was constructed to reward him while he played well and allow for a clean divorce if the situation warrants it.
Re: Bills could avoid most of Fitzpatrick’s new deal
Fitz had some absolutely horrible passes this past Sunday and he was the main cause of the offense stinking up the place. If he hits his receivers on a couple of those third downs where the receiver was open, the entire game is a different one.

$13 M for one season ? Sure.
In 2010, skinflint Owner/President/GM Mike Brown made one of his famous "value" signings, inking damaged goods wr Antonio Bryant. Bryant fleeced him for $ 6.9 million. Laverneus Coles took him to the cleaners the year before.
Weeks before this fine Sunday afternoon, we've kept hearing that the Bengals are likely cutting ties with Bryant. While it made sense, considering the team rebuilt their weapons in the passing...
