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

With the official start of the Buffalo Bills Offseason Team Activities starting today it’s finally time to dive back into football after our nearly month hiatus since the draft and UDFA process! This afternoon the Bills will officially begin their 2012 campaign, and much like Rome, a Super Bowl caliber team will not be built in just one day. That does not mean however that there aren’t some things to look for and listen to the coaches speak about during these OTA’s.
We ask four questions about what to look for during OTA's.
COMING SOON...

Buffalo Bills @buffalobills#Bills defensive line will not be fun for opposing offenses. After Mario snuffed out one run, Mark Anderson erases another.
What is the deal with Troup? Dude can't stay healthy to save his life and he hardly plays....
Troup had suffered a fracture in his lower spine, which along with a bulging disc caused an excruciating amount of pain. He would be inactive for the first three games before trying to play Week 4 at Cincinnati, with limited success. He shut it down for Week 5 and played sparingly the next five weeks.
He tried to suit up for the second meeting with the Jets in Week 12, but his back had enough.
“The whole year was just brutal,” said Troup. “The Jets game on the road was the point where I couldn’t take it anymore. I fought through it the best I could all the way through the season up until that Jets game. Coach Gailey came up to me in the locker room and said, ‘Don’t worry about it. We know you’ve been fighting all year and we know you are resilient so if you can’t go we know there’s something wrong. You should stay back here and lay down and relax.’ It was definitely heartbreaking not being able to finish the season with my teammates was horrible.”
Less than three weeks later doctors would perform back surgery making incisions at the base of his spine and on his side to fix the disc and the fracture. If Troup thought the pain was bad leading up to surgery, what he experienced post-surgery was worse.
“I got up off that hospital bed and the day after surgery I was wondering if I was going to walk anymore,” he said. “It was that painful and I was on painkillers. It took so much out of me just to walk 50 feet. So to think about starting all the way over again was very hard.”
But Troup did start over less than a month removed from surgery. After players went their separate ways at the close of the regular season Troup got right to work on his rehab. Rehab that is still ongoing now.
“I’m in the gym right now and doing rehab. There’s no letdown,” he said. “I’m trying to get back to the point I was before the 2011 season. I know I can get there and I know I can play in this league. I just have to be healthy. The freak accident last year (fractured spine) hopefully won’t affect me this year. I just have to stay positive. That’s the biggest thing.”
The goal for full medical clearance so he can return to the practice field again is training camp. Much like Kyle Williams and Eric Wood, Troup is taking a measured approach to return to full live football.
Mark Ludwiczak @MarkLud12 Scary moment at OTAs when Kelsay stepped on Mario Williams' foot in a team drill. Williams appeared to be in some pain but stayed in.
