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 http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

No, jones played slot receiver during camp and Graham will probably be moved to where Nelson played.

Since we run a spread, we don't need a traditional #2. There's just a #1 and every other reciever playing all over in different spots

Kind of OT: I still believe in the talent of Marcus Easley and with the injuries in the NFL these days he may get his chance at some point. I hope he captures the opportunity and puts it together.

No.

The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

Re: Is Donald Jones a legit #2 WR in the NFL?

Maybe I'm just a hopelessly optimistic homer, but I think can be a legit #2. I don't know that he is a slot receiver (even though he's had snaps there), he seems best on the outside. Donald's biggest problem is Fitzy with that weak arm. Regardless, Sundays game wasn't an outlier, I think he'll have a solid year.

Jones has reliable hands and a very nice skill set. Quick in his cuts and good run after catch. I think he will thrive in the slot more than as a flanker.

I expect 60 catches and 5 TDs for Jones. Maybe more.

Mediocrity. Thy name is the Buffalo Bills.

Re: Is Donald Jones a legit #2 WR in the NFL?

No, he's a 4th-5th WR in all honesty. He should do better in the slot, but the fact that he's a top three option is a bit indicative of why we struggle still.

COMING SOON...

A couple of drops doesn't mean you don't have reliable hands. Stevie also has reliable hands. Every receiver drops the ball.

I suppose Victor Cruz doesn't have reliable hands because he dropped 3 passes against Dallas?

Not quite. Mediocrity is what we shoot for around here (apparently). One day, we just may achieve it.

Bit of a difference between talking about one game with Cruz as opposed to multiple drops over multiple season for Stevie and Jones. Wouldn't you agree?
