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!
Our beloved senior citizen must've dosed off again, since clearly we should be making moves in the 4th day of FA and we've only managed to fill our many holes with one ILB signging.
I think we're going to make a move or two today. Dustin Keller is someone I think we'll lock up.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
They've both been attending Pro Days this week. They obviously have no intentions on signing a tier 1 or 2 guy. Completely and utterly focused on rookie QBs at this point.
The New York Jets' moribund offense took a big hit Friday when tight end Dustin Keller signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins.
Keller confirmed for ESPNNewYork.com that he has a deal with the Dolphins, but terms were not available.
The AFC East rivals appear to be headed in opposite directions. The Jets have lost five free agents while the Dolphins have waged a spending spree this week, signing wide receiver Mike Wallace and linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler.
1. There are 29 other teams looking at these players.
2. Many have more to offer based on who they have on the roster and our lack of defined QB and new coach.
3. Some of these players may not be seem as favorably by the Bills staff and other teams staffs as the fans think.
Those are all reasons for perceived inactivity but the easy thing is to blame Buddy's age (because we all know he works all by himself).

Totally agree, we have no idea who the Bills have contacted or tried to contact, The Bills are probably not on the top of many FA's list and we don't have the money to throw at a player like last year with Williams. They know what they need and it's early, free agency just started and the draft is coming. I'm not worried about getting "big name" players, just players that will fit into what they going to try and do. It's March and people are already jumping off the Bandwagon.
The Jets and Bills are tearing things down and looking toward the 2014 draft already.
Only difference is Buffalo hired a new coach and the Jets are going to let fatso ride out the string.
At least the Jets have brought a few guys in though for a look. See Brandon Gibson etc. The Bills meanwhile seem to be ingoring free agency and there's talk that Buddy's been seen at Geno Smith's Pro Day. I'm sorry but I don't see why our GM has to see Geno, that should be done by our scouting staff and/or Whaley. Meanwhile Buddy should be working the phones for free agents. Today is day 3 and to quote buddy this is the time he told us that we'd be active and all I see us at the Bills website is talking about bringin in Geno Smith and a some backtology contest their running and that Terrell Troup doing some stupid workout.

Well, in late February you complained that you were away on a business trip and a long stretch of nothing happening suddenly became Alex Smith traded and Kelsay retiring. Apparently you need to go on a business trip. If the Bills are doing nothing, I blame you.
