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

If Not Eric Moulds then? The "Is our future really Evans, Parish and Aiken?" thread
If Not Eric Moulds then? The "Is our future really Evans, Parish and Aiken?" thread
OK...looks like EM is on his way out. We as fans always say so and so should be cut...so and so should be traded...well, many want EM gone and apparently they will get his wish.
Since Josh Reed is FA and probably won't be back:
Do you trust Evans, Parish and Aiken to be our top three?
Who should the Bills get to replace EM?
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

We need a new #2 WR. Evans is pretty much a #1 WR in this league. Bigger than Santana Moss and Steve Smith who were impact probowlers this year. Slightly shorter than Marvin Harrison. He has more than enough speed, hands and route running skills. It is time to label him the #1 and let him take on those routes.
I am unsure on who the #2 should be. I say that based on I don't know exactly what DJ and Fairchild want in a #2 WR.

With Fairchild as the OC, you're going to see a lot of three-receiver, bunched sets so whoever takes Moulds spot needs to run precise routes.
I hate to see Moulds go, but if he does I'd be willing to give Aiken a shot.
Who else is out there?
Marv levy was asked about the WR corp on this team. He said after looking at tape etc they felt 'good' about the corp in general...even without Moulds. Better if we had Eric, but good without. Now to me that says yes they will still go find another #2 WR. But Evans is clearly ready to become the #1 guy.
Re: If Not Eric Moulds then? The "Is our future really Evans, Parish and Aiken?" thread
sounds to me like they'll pick up one of the many possession type veteran receivers and put the pressure on evans to stand up and be the man now
i love evans but that makes me a little nervous. dude didnt even have 50 catches last season. and with moulds on the other side evans didnt face the constant double teaming he'll get as the lone #1
a lot of teams only have a single #1 type threat with a possession guy on the other side so that doesnt doom them to failure at all. the bills might play a carolina type offense, run the ball a lot and go for the big plays in the passing game. it could work
obviously it would be much, much better for the passing game if moulds stayed but you cant have everything in a salary cap league

Good post. Not too many teams do have a pair of threats like Evans/Moulds. Losing Moulds will definately hurt. David Givens would be a good choice, Joe Jurivicius might also get the job done. I love Antonio Bryant's skill set, but I don't see Marv wanting to bring in his maturity problems.
It's unfortunate, but I don't think there's anyone out there in FA who is good enough to truly replace/upgrade Moulds. Maybe we'll see some cuts in the next few days that free up some talent. But like Meathead says, these are the choices you have to make in a salary cap league. Can't pay an aging receiver 10 Mil with all the other needs we have.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

I disagree. From what I watched and watched for specifically it was evans drawing most of the double teams, not moulds.

Interesting. I for one was kind of assuming that Moulds was still drawing the extra coverage. If he was not, as you say, then its not going to affect us as much as I thought to lose him. if Moulds wasn't changing people's defensive coverage schemes, then he won't be irreplaceable. Anybody else pay attention to the coverage that our receivers got? Just curious if anyone else noticed this, cuase I didnt really pay close enough attention

Re: If Not Eric Moulds then? The "Is our future really Evans, Parish and Aiken?" thread
to me Evans was drafted to be the #1 WR, it is his 3rd year so it is time for him to show his stuff. Ass for replacing Moulds, I would not expect signing any of the FA's mentioned, just dont think the Bills will prioritze that spot so Sam Aiken will be given first oppurtunity and probably a rookie drafted in the 3rd- 5th rds of the draft
Not like having Moulds and Evans helped the team ave more than 180 yds per game passing last year, so why not go a cheaper route

True. You don't draft a guy with the 13th pick in the draft to be a #2 receiver.
