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

As promised, here are all the numbers comparing Ryan Fitzpatrick's average length of passes (in air only) and average length of completions (air) with the other NFL QBs of this season, as well as Edwards and Losman from their Bills seasons, and Tarvaris Jackson's from Seattle and Minnesota.
Take away with all of it what you will. There's a lot to digest:

The worse part is, he even has trouble connecting on 4 yard passes.
That is the nut of it. Throwing short is one thing, throwing short and not being accurate is another. If you look at Manning this year, he is throwing a lot of short passes as well. The difference is Manning is far more accurate, completing about 68% of his passes to Fitzpatrick's 61%. He is far more efficient, which you have to be if you are going to throw short.
The problem isn't just that Fitz struggles throwing the ball downfield, it is that he isn't efficient enough to do that well. He is a career 60% passer, and if you look at the best QBs that throw short a lot they are all in the mid-60's for completion percentage.
So, Fitz doesn't throw well enough downfield and doesn't throw is accurate enough short. That is the issue.
the most telling part is losmans numbers from 7-9 first year under jauron are the best the most entertaining and the biggest mistake the franchise made
should have went all in with losman if he was as bad as people on here would like to believe we would have had another top 5 qb in 2008 or 2009 but jauron wanted passive offense
the most telling part is losmans numbers from 7-9 first year under jauron are the best the most entertaining and the biggest mistake the franchise made
The laundry boy's decision to go with Arm & Hammer instead of Tide was a bigger mistake than cutting Lossman. If I step in **** and have to scrape it off my shoe it's annoying no matter how much or how little. Please stop.
you can run the numbers all day and it comes down to THE important number..... WINS!!!!! so you can eliminate Lossman right there. TJax and hasn't played a down in a Bills uni so you can eliminate him. now you have Fitz and Edwards. not much to get excited about there. Robosack anybody???? don't make me laugh. the last decent QB the Bills had was Flutie and the organization ran him out of town. that's how pathetically run this football team is. time for The Old Fart to croak so we fans can see what it's like to have an NFL football team again.
