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

Bobby Shaw: Moving Up — It appears that Bobby Shaw will beat out fantasy darling Josh Reed for the number two receiver slot in Buffalo. Given the production level that Moulds/Price/Reed posted in 2002, there is little doubt that Shaw and Reed will both get their touches in 2003. Do not bid too high on Shaw as Reed is likely to take his spot back. However, watch to see if either slips in the draft and grab them as a fourth receiver with high upside.
Wide receiver Josh Reed, Buffalo Bills: Reed is no Peerless Price. His style is different. Price is a downfield threat. Reed offers more skills on shorter, possessions routes. But Price's departure to Atlanta created a big void in the Bills passing offense. Reed needs to become a big threat because most of the coverage will focus on the other side of the field on Eric Moulds. If Moulds is double coverage and Reed is struggling to get open, then the passing offense won't be as explosive as last year. There is some thought that Reed may start the season as the third receiver because the coaching staff likes the route running of Bobby Shaw. They need a big season from Reed.
I like Bobby Shaw better on the outside. Reed was dangerous in the slot last season and will only get better playing there again. I'm still expecting a big season from him, at least 7 TDs too.

I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
Aug 25 Per the Democrat & Chronicle, Bobby Shaw may have leapfrogged Josh Reed as the starter opposite Eric Moulds. In Saturday’s game against the Rams, Reed caught three passes for 44 yards, but Shaw caught four for 43 and an eight-yard touchdown. "He’s a very smart receiver in the slot," Bledsoe said of Shaw. "He does a great job with his moves at the top of his routes and gets himself separation. He has a lot of experience in this offense, so he really understands where we need him to be."
Views: Exactly. Shaw needs to be in the slot, where he has been for years. Reed, meanwhile, needs to be lined up on the outside--as a starter. Listen, this is more speculation by the paper than anything else because there are no quotes from the coaching staff regarding a potential change. We still consider Reed a solid sleeper, as the Bills have a terrific passing game.
I liked Reed in college, but he is still going from #3 guy to starter. He's going to face harder competition, (Madison, not Fletcher) and in what's supposed to be a more balanced offense, 700 yards and 4-5 Tds is a reasonable guess.
Chambers went 3 to 1, didn't he? and although there are some similarities between their situations, theres 2 big difference that stands out above the rest.
1. Reed has a 3 time pro-bowl receiver starting across from him
2. Reed has a 3 time pro-bowl qb throwing to him

Yes he did, and you're correct on your points. Still Reed will have to face CB's who stay on the field, unlike nickel backs who only come on when the #3 WR comes out. So he will still face better competition, even if Moulds gets doubled. Reed will have to deal with a starting #2 CB, and they are sometimes just as good as the #1.
