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

So we could have Desmond Bishop for 1.5 million for one year?
I don't understand this team sometimes. They'll take on reclamation projects like Merriman or Owens but then balk at something like this. Their risk/reward evaluation is way out of whack.
Don't get me wrong- signing other team's trash is certainly not my preferred way of doing business. But camp is a month away and we still lack talent and experience at LB. There really aren't any better options left.
Why would he come to Buffalo for that kind of money?
He went to Minnesota for that kind of money. They're another small market team in a bad weather location. It's not like we lost out to NY or Miami or Dallas. The only advantage they have over us is a dome.

That and hopes of a championship, if he's into that sort of thing.
Re: So we could have Desmond Bishop for 1.5 million for one year?
Scheme - Bills want LB's that can run.
Sheppard sent packing because he cannot run.
Therefore, aquiring a LB with movement limitations, coming off a severe hamstring tear makes perfect sense.. Move over Lawson,Hughes,Kiko and other actual healthy alternatives with movement skills .." I've heard of him ! "
A couple other teams kicking his tires, offering nothing more that the vet minimum, are playoff caliber teams that he would find attractive.
Conclusion - He obviously wanted to come here. We passed on him. We suck.

why am I not surprised? bills are damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Yeah well when they do something to earn the benefit of the doubt, you let me know. Their poor decision-making is what created the situation where this option is even worth considering, so they damned themselves a long time ago.

As DBrown77 said, Bishop WANTED to play for the Vikings because they are in the same division as the Packers. I read the same thing myself. The Bills would have had to OVERPAY him to get him to Buffalo.

If the bills signed Bishop, you would've whined about them not learning their lesson and then say the same thing about poor-decision making. It never ends with you. Every decision made is wrong.

Yup, base your argument on your assumption of how I would have reacted in a hypothetical situation that never actually occurred.....
