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!
This is only a test
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

Another good reason that we signed Boldin - Comp picks
Another good reason that we signed Boldin - Comp picks
Not claiming hes gonna put us over the hump or anything but between mentoring, decent production and solid run blocking for a run-first, second and third team, I like the signing.
And now this - lets get rid of Holmes (Streater has been more competent from what I've heard) and maybe we'll get that compensatory pick. Seriously, whats not to like?
Re: Another good reason that we signed Boldin - Comp picks
I don't see why they wouldn't let Holmes go for that 3rd rd. pick.
They can also send Ducasse and Davis packing for another pick.
I really don't think any of those three will be missed.

Just releasing Holmes wouldn't get them a comp pick. They'd have to release all three players just to get one comp pick. They signed seven qualifying free agents and lost five, so to be eligible for a comp pick they have to release at least three to make the net gain/loss -1.

So we can dump Holmes, Davis, and Ducasse for a 3rd next year ?
Done. Sign me up.
I'm sure at cutdown day they can replace those three if needed.

They would definitely get a comp pick if they cut all three, but I don't know if it's a guarantee that it would be a 3rd. They'd also be eating about $3 mil in dead cap space.
I like the idea of getting an extra pick next year, but it might be hard to justify cutting all three for one pick in the middle of the draft. I don't like Holmes or Ducasse as starters, but I do like them as depth. We'll just have to see how they do for the rest of preseason.
Re: Another good reason that we signed Boldin - Comp picks
Holmes, Davis, and Ducasse all signed early on in FA, before Beane was the GM. Also, I don't think that any of them have played under any of the current Bills coaches in the past so they aren't "their guys." If reports are correct, neither of those three are setting TC on fire.
Re: Another good reason that we signed Boldin - Comp picks
It's not the worst idea to look hard at Holmes, Ducasse and Davis. They aren't justifying their signings at all and have been passed by others as top backups.
Already have an extra 1st round pick. Besides QB, we will need to replenish WR if Sammy walks and Boldin retires. More picks, the better. Thinking ahead is not a crime.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
My thoughts exactly - whenever the Pats make a move like this to land themselves extra picks, everyone messes their pants and proclaims them geniuses. I think our GMs have just been so incompetent we don't expect them to have the foresight to do things like this. Lets hope Beane makes the moves needed, bc Holmes, Ducasse and some others aren't even locks to make the team anyways.
