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

What's the purpose and point of most threads after the initial rounds of posts.
You have to dance around the piles of poop to find something to interact with someone over and then when someone posts an intelligent, coherrent, and well thought out response posters here regularly send out their dogs to go poop all over the yard making the responses of others to the more serious posts that much more difficult.
This place is like a party after midnight. Anyone that doesn't have beer goggles is considered to be problematic.
Would you like to address the primary topic though.
It doesn't change the fact that Brown did nothing relevant in college, absolutely nothing.
So what is all this hope based on two or three games built on? Just that, nothing more.
Can we then use that to suggest that any RB in the NFL that plays two or three good games is starting material?
Start there if you really want to discuss this.
No you weren't, and your backpedal to suggest such is just sad.
The primary topic that the Bills signed a RB? Sure the Bills needed a RB with all the injuries, Tanner wasn't the first choice but for what he will be its not a bad move.
Did you even watch Brown play in college or are you again zoning in just on stats?
Well considering Brown has seen action in 32 games in his NFL career I dont think its based on 2 or 3 games but since you're point is transparent what you're referring to is the three games in 2012 where he received more than 15 carries and went for 381 yards on 58 carries and scored three times while averaging 6.45 ypc.
He's only potentially starting due to an injury, but don't let the actual facts of the situation get in the way of a cheap shot.
COMING SOON...

Brown was the top RB in high school committed to Miami and then decommitted for some reasons. At the time I had a friend who followed Miami and rumor was Miami was not calling him every day or not willing to make promises (take that for what ever you will to him).
He then went to Tenn with Kiffin played the year, transferred to KState after Kiffin left. Due to transfer rules had to sit out his soph year and then played the 14 games his RSSoph year. He then declared for the draft against the advice of many and got drafted in the seventh round.
Had he gone back to school and produced another good year he probably would have gone in the third easily.
To summarize the guy has talent, did not want to play in college and wanted to play in the pros to make money.
It is what it is a guy with talent wanting to cash in for that, no desire to be the greatest just wants to get paid. I have no issues with it all and wish him all the best with us and whatever else happens with his career.
One of the highlights of a message board is when a poster who types out page after page of information gets caught in a mistake then claims it was completely sarcastic or a joke.
It happens in all the forums and it is always worth a laugh.

That's one of the funniest posts of all time.
Me of all people DraftBoy, really believing that Tanner was anything even worth commenting on.

It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley
