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

3 – More first team work for QB Cassel
Matt Cassel has seen some measure of work with the starting offensive unit each of the first three days in the quarterback rotation. Sunday would’ve been the day he rotated out with EJ Manuel and Tyrod Taylor getting the bulk of the work with the ones, but that wasn’t the case.
Ryan explained that he and his offensive staff believe Cassel is a veteran that knows what he’s doing, while Taylor and Manuel can be more effectively developed by getting them additional work with the second and third team units.
“We put (Cassel) there,” said Ryan of working with the ones. “That’s what we want to do. With his experience we think it’s more appropriate that he’s always rotating with them. Tyrod will get his equal turns at the one spot and so will EJ, so we’re putting them there, but when we go to running some other units they go down with the threes because they’re younger and are going to be with some of these younger guys. We think that’s the best way to develop these young quarterbacks.”
If they knew Cassel was going to start he would be working almost extensively with the first unit and the other two would get little or no time.
I know being right on a message board is important stuff - but you're not right here. Certainly Cassel might end up starting. But they don't know that now

You realize you need a QB to run the second and third teams?
Even if Cassel was announced as the starter it wouldn't change much. They wouldn't kick the other QBs out of camp.
Bottom line is he already being setup as the starter.

And they said that from the beginning. It's going on every day. One day one guy does well, another poorly. Next day vice versa. We'll know week one, but things seem to be going the way of Cassel getting those reps if this continues:
#Bills QB rep count in team drills today:
Cassel: 29
Taylor: 23
Manuel: 18
Quarterback update Matt Cassel was the primary #1 QB and it wasn’t close as far as reps. He got almost all of the 11-on-11 snaps with the first team, although Tyrod Taylor took a few. EJ Manuel had one snap in that scenario. Manuel was with the third team most of practice, with Taylor the #2 QB, but both QBs took some second-team reps.
