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

Hackett had a career-year in 2006, recording 45 receptions for 610 yards and 4 touchdowns – playing primarily in the slot while Bobby Engram was dealing with a thyroid condition. Hackett, 25, was a fifth round draft choice out of Colorado in 2004.
he would have been nice to sign. But he is not an All-Star type of player.
That's 2006.

hackett got the same contract courtney anderson got..
way to fill a need.
lets take a "huge risk" on anderson who is almost assured to be no better than the 3rd string te if he even makes it through training camp.. but we can take a chance on hackett.
but you guys are fine with anderson.. cause he is a great bargain.

I think not looking at a guy who only wants to sign short-term is dumb. If you have a need, fill it and draft your long-term guy. The whole "he only wants to sign a 1-year deal" thing makes no sense. Cap-wise, it is a good deal.
Regardless of what player or position you're discussing, whether he's a 'fit' or not, etc, I agree with NE39. It's a stupid philosophy.

This no short deals policy is STUPID. A short deal carries no risk. There is no reason not to do it. If a guy does well and wants a better deal, then he's earned it.
This is absolutely ****ing outrageous. We could have had him for a cheap, no-risk contract. Carolina just got a lot better for a hell of a bargain. He's a perfect complerment to Smith just as he would have been to Evans.
SON OF A B****!!!!
Better watch out Phil. Dr. Flector will yell at you for insinuating cuss words!
Speaking of this, there have been posters on this site defending Buffalo against accusations of being called CHEAP a**es. That is exactly what we were on the offensive side of the ball this off season. We did a great job on defense and last year on the o-line but we have neglected a BIG void in the #2 veteran WR spot.
OBD turned cheap as hell all of a sudden especially when you look at what Hackett got in Carolina. You mean to tell me that OBD couldn't have singed Johnson for a bit more and bend a little bit? We couldn't sign Johnson for a 2 year $4 mill deal and as another poster mentioned draft your long term answer? Very bad move! This is pathetic considering how much we paid a luke warn Langston Walker last year.
For those of you that critisized me for cussing in asteriscs and calling our Bills cheap shame on you for not seeing through this negligence from OBD.
I love my Bills and think we are on the right track but for not getting some much needed veteran FA WR help fro Evans...not good. Pushes us back one more year from the playoffs.
Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

You are right. Let's stick with Josh Reed and 5'9" 178 lb Roscoe Parrish. They'll get us over the hump.

i really dont see how hackett wuld be any more useful for us here. then we'd have, what? 3 slot recievers? ok he might be an upgrade but we dont need an upgrade at #3. we need an upgrade at #2. just because he had ok years in a good system doesnt mean he'd do jack here, nor does it mean anyone should make such a big deal over it. i think sometimes people get excited over semi-names from other teams without really realizing what the situation is
Averaging six catches a game, with 100 yards and a TD in three of the five full games he played, isn't cutting it????
You should really watch football sometime and quit watching highlight clips on Youtube and looking at stats. There's a lot more that goes into being a good player than what kind of stats a person puts up.
i watched every game that hackett played in this year.. he is a good receiver.
im still waiting on that dvd Gr8, the one that you said you have of every game hackett played this year.
your the one that is talking out of his ass.. if you watched the games, you never would have said he was a slot guy in the first place.
Still waiting for you to send me your information and the money for shipping.
BTW, I said he was a #3 WR at best. And I still find it highly unlikely that you watched any of his games, if you had you wouldn't be obsessed with the guy because he's nothing special.
