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

Tyrod can't take advantage of an o-line that is giving him all day to throw the ball!

I'm sorry but I can't remember the last time a Bills o-line gave a QB this much time to throw the ball. Sadly I think it highlights how mediocre Tyrod is.
I'll give the new OC credit as he is putting Tyrod in the best possible position to use his rushing skills but Tyrod had all day to find receivers open yesterday when they weren't designed running plays.

Not encouraging at all.
There were several times that Tyrod had to duck under a rushing defender or escape to the side to avoid sacks. His ability to sense pressure and move to open space while keeping his eyes downfield was special.

At some point the pocket is going to collapse when you are hanging on to the ball that long. And for the record he has an ability to get out of trouble, and I'll give you that, but some of it is self induced.
In addition, we all used to ***** about _____________(insert QB of your choice over last 10 years) throwing the ball 3 yards when we need 7 yards and Tyrod is just as guilty of the same bad habit.
Re: Tyrod can't take advantage of an o-line that is giving him all day to throw the b
Listened to the radio feed yesterday and I thought the same thing. Numerous times Taylor had "all day", without producing big plays. That said, going into the game we were dead last in 3rd down conversions and we did convert at a high rate yesterday along with many 3rd and longs. Taylor hitting the slants were refreshing to hear also.
I agree. When the running game is playing great he needs to be himself. A care taker.
It's when we need him to be qb when the running game isn't doing great that we get into trouble. So far, he's looking ok under Lynn.
The point in this, I think is that this season is Tyrod's tryout before we extend his contact. Yesterday wasn't a typical game. The Patriots were one dimensional and inept and it was obvious early that a caretaker would get the job done. Most Sunday's you need a qb who, when given the time in the pocket, will consistently make plays downfield. $92 mill, is a lot of cap space to sacrifice to a caretaker in the modern NFL.
Re: Tyrod can't take advantage of an o-line that is giving him all day to throw the b
I agree. A number of times he held the ball for a few seconds, then starting to move himself. He might be trying to create some coverage breakdown when he moves around, but quite often he breaks the perfectly executed blocking in front of him, allowing defenders to come after him free.
This is where other mobile QBs like Newton, and Wilson are so good. Wilson especially who has a great sense of pressure and is willing to wait if the blocking is good in front of him. Newton also waits, sometimes a bit too long but he's so big and strong, can take a hit while delivering the ball. Tyrod is clearly not close to that level yet.

As I said before ,stick with him and let him develop, he is a keeper, IMHO.
Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Tyrod did exactly what was asked of him yesterday.
We won a game technically by two scores. If he we was being a caretaker then why did he need to hang onto the ball for so long? Obviously there were plays that had the intent of getting bigger yards.
6.3 yards per pass and 4.8 the week before are not 92 million dollar QB numbers.

I was one of the biggest people who spoke out against the contract when he signed it, and I still am. You know what though? He signed it and now we have to live with it.
Even if you're against his contract, you have to admit he had a good game against the Pats. He is signed on for $18 million per season, average. That puts him tied for 17th highest paid QB. If you think played worse than 17 QB's in the NFL yesterday, you're out of your mind.
