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!

Bobby Shaw is now wearing #81. I didn't notice that until last week. Sorry if this has been discussed already.
Is it not a slap in the face for them to issue #81 that quickly after Price left us? I know the numbering system in the NFL is laid out in a certain way, but did they have to give Shaw #81 so soon?

I don't think so. It happens all the time in the NFL. Its no disrespect to him, and I doubt he would see it like that. Anyway, there were only two numbers available for him, 81 or 87, and he the 81 is a better look because he isn't very wide. :bigmike:

It is knid of common since there are only so many numbers and each series has a specific purpose (80' eligible pass catcher, 1-19 specialists, etc) after Lofton left, Bill Brooks wore 80 the next season. Didn't Kamil Loud wear 89 the season after Tasker left? The only numbers that you won't see on the field are 12, 32, 34 and 78. They all seem to be hands off.
I thought it disrespectful that Collins was allowed to have #15.

Right. Receivers don't have too many #s to choose from. I remember everyone being POd about Moore taking #83. Well there are only 10 numbers in the 80s, so they can't worry about things like that.

Are you kidding me with this post? What, do we have to start a mourning period for our dearly departed Price? It's a freakin jersey number!
Leads? Yeah, sure. I'll...uh...just check with the boys down at the crimelab. Yeah, they got four more detectives on the case....we're working in shifts!"
Peerless had 1 good year for us. Big deal. I agree about the Dave moore #83 issue. Andre is the best receiver the Bills ever had. That being said there are not many #s to choose from.
I agree. He had one good year and one outstanding year. A lot of guys do that and disappear. He holds no legacy as a Bill and, no, I don't think it was a slap in his face at all. We had no reason to throw a low blow at him. He put up great numbers and felt that he could be a number 1 guy somewhere. There's nothing wrong with that what so ever. He never said he's better than our number 1 guy and he never started any team controversy. Good for him, he had a great year and deserves a shot. We never a reason to give him the old "***". Plus, with him going we were able to get TKO!!! How's that for a tradeoff?
