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

I just want to make sure I know who the people are that want Fitz as the starter!
Re: I just want to make sure I know who the people are that want Fitz as the starter!
While i don't think Fitzpatrick is an upgrade over Edwards, because i truly feel both are not good and both should be backups. But, i think Fitzpatrick can win more ball games for the Bills because he has nothing to lose. He will take shots down the field. While Edwards is afriad of throwing the INT, Fitz i don't think will really care. He proved it on Sunday. He made tons of horrid throws and that's why he shouldn't be starting but the bottom line is, our QB corps is Hamdan, Edwards and him.
Second of all, it's completly unfair to throw him under the bus for the way he played in New York. The weather was horrid and he was threw into the fire out of the blue. It's hard for a QB to enter a game cold and play well. And it almost never happens. Fitzpatrick will get the entire week, knowing he'll be starting in Carolina (i'm assuming Edwards will be ruled out but they just havn't said anything yet officially) and will work with the first team players. Probably for the first time all season.
Kevin Kolb in for McNabb week 1 went 7-11 for 23 yards, QB rating of 67%... with 2 fumbles. In week 2, as starter, 31-51 for almost 400 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT against a real good team (Saints) and week 3 played great.
Chad Henne came in for Pennington, and looked awful. 10-19, 90 yards with an INT and QB rating of 44%. But he looked pretty good against Buffalo and then looked like "Dan Marino" as ESPN said it on their post game sports center vs. the Jets the following week.
To blast a QB for filling in isn't right. You need to wait until he has a full week practicing and starting the game from the start.

Since TE is concussed I want Fitz to start just to see what he really has. Regardless of performance we are now seeing that TE can't stay from being concussed...that is a disturbing trend. I can take getting hurt being bent in half or having 375 pounds fall on you but multiple concussions start to be a very bad trend and thing in the long run.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

I think Trent is a more talented, but Fitz is playing much better than Trent this season. He is at least taking a shot downfield, and trusting his receivers to make plays. He was also hitting his receivers in stride, which Trent seems afraid to do. It is obvious that Trent does not trust his WR's at all.
That being said, I want Trent to start (assuming he's healthy). Fitz is not the long-term answer at QB. It doesn't look like Trent is either, but he at least has a chance of snapping out of this funk, and turning things around. And if he doesn't, we'll lose the rest of our games and get a better draft pick. With Fitz, we'll probably go 5-11, and pick 5th, with the player we really want getting drafted at #4.
