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

How can anyone who knows anything about the NFL think that an offensive superstar (like Spiller, best RB and overall offensive player in the draft ) wasn't a "need" for us?
What was our offensive rank last year? 30? Have we even been better than 25th in 4 or 5 years?
We can't score. He can. Therefore, he is a need. Especially over the 3rd best OT in the draft or a ****ty QB.

Enough already.
Most of that get that....i wouldn't spaz about it we had a good draft
Wasn't the Bills' problem that they stall in the red zone? If so, given the fact that the main selling point was that Spiller scores from outside the red zone... he doesn't help this team at all.

Demetrius Bell is our starting LT.
Trent Edwards is our starting QB.
Lee Evans is our best WR, and it goes downhill fast from there.
At the time of the Spiller pick, we had literally zero NT's on the roster. Zero.
At the time of the Spiller pick, we had 2 legitimate NFL RB's on the roster. The reason we are 30 in O has nothing to do with RB. It has to do with OL, QB, and WR- three needs that were not addressed.
If you want to say no LT's were worth the pick, fine. If you want to say that going Best Player Available is a better strategy, fine. But with all the holes on this team, saying RB was a need is just plain asinine.
No RB can win games without an LT, a QB or a defense that can stop the other team. CJ Spiller alone does not make this offense legit- he simply makes it slightly less bad.

Um, if Spiller scores outside the red zone, then the Bills no longer have to try from inside the red zone on that drive :brilliant:

Gailey has made every team's offense he's joined better. That sounds like a pretty good track record...

you really believe 1 draft would've made us super awesome? If we drafted say Bulaga at 9th, Clausen at 41 we would literally be waiting years for them to become starters. We drafted a starting home run hitting RB, and a starting NT.

no but I was hoping this draft would do a better job at filling holes.
You're making the argument that the Bills should go BPA with the draft (although I beg to differ that they always took BPA, but that's a different issue). Going BPA is fine if they address needs via FA. But they didn't address needs via FA or the draft. So, we have the same glaring holes now that we had at the start of the off season: QB, LT, WR, NT (even if you like Troup, one NT doesn't get us through the season).
At some point they have to man up and address these needs. But they'd rather make excuses and tell us it takes "years" to build a team.
truthfully i could care less what this team does anymore...as long as wilson is the owner i dont see this team winning a super bowl! Wilson has done everything in his power to destroy this team..how about we ignore the OLINE again! This FO and organization just doesnt GET IT..they dont understand a winning team HAS TO HAVE a good OLINE and a GOOD DLINE..ignoring the OLINE for over a decade is guaranteed failure! if spiller turns out to be as good as jackson and lynch but NOT BETTER THEN them then this was a COMPLETE worthless pick..i think he will be good im more pissed that this organization just WONT FIX the OLINE and think they have a chance at winning! itz just crazy! they wont even SIGN free agents that are better then who we have on the OLINE because wilson is just TOOO CHEAP!
