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

Taylor is gonna cost 27 mil if he is on the roster next year, not to mention Taylor is a 6 year vet compared to Big Ben in his rookie year where he won a Super Bowl and Russel Wilson led the seahawks to a Super Bowl in year 2, Brady had a SuperBowl in year 1 as a starter, do I need to go on?
I dont care what he costs, I care what cap hit he has. Spotrac has it at 15.9.
The Buffalo Bills 2017 salary cap table, including team cap space, dead cap figures, and complete breakdowns of player cap hits, salaries, and bonuses.
I care about his results. This game against Oakland was a perfect example why an efficient smallball elusive running QB who can't occasionally pass his way down the field when necessary, won't beat a team with QB who can.
Anyone who watched this game has to be able to see it.

Banged up Watkins who dropped plenty of passes, 3rd, 4th, and 5th WR's who were likely not open a lot of the game, and a ton of pressure...On a team that uses a run heavy offense but suddenly decided to run the spread in this game.

Dropped plenty of passes? Poorly thrown passes that nearly got him killed.
How anybody could watch that game and still defend Tyrod as a potential franchise QB is baffling.

Agree, it was dumb to go with a passing attack because we don't have a QB who can execute one, but the thing (early at least), they were using the pass sweetly to set up the run. Later they had to pass because they were desperate.
There are times when a run heavy attack just won't take you through a whole game. Like down 38-24, you can't keep running. You can't keep running when clock becomes a factor. Those are times they need Taylor to take the team downfield on his arm and he can't. Game manager QB's like Alex Smith even do this.
Why don't they use McCoy, Gillislee, Bush with a short timing, quick release passing game. Even Felton has shown he can catch. Those too are the plays that can set up runs, tire out an opponent, and march downfield. Quick slants are better than downfield routes when your receivers are gimped, not for us though.
They're all basic plays Taylor should have down, Lynn as well, the backs, receivers.
Taylor had the same issues he always has when he HAS to pass, trouble with reads, no sense of rhythm, no command, no touch, no directing receivers open. He got is 18 completions to stay near his average, but he doesn't command drives when he needs to with his arm.
For a vet in his 2nd year with his offense, he's robotic and just not good enough.
Kaep can actually throw the ball when it becomes necessary to do so.
He'll make some dumb mistakes but he actually tries, Tyrod is too afraid to do almost anything.
I'm sure someone will point out that he was absolutely horrible this past weekend and got benched, which is true. Although i would have benched Taylor as well Sunday. However, Kaep still went out and threw for almost 400 yards vs the Saints a month ago. Threw for almost 300 and ran for over 100 against the Dolphins.
Tyrod's a bad QB, but his arm is way better than Kaepernick's. And it's not even close.
Let me know the next time Tyrod throws for 300 yards in a game. Kaep's done that more times this year than Tyrod has his entire career. Let me know when Tyrod leads a team on a 4th quarter drive to win a game. Kaep's done that 8 times.
Everyone here loves pointing out how Tyrod Taylor protects the football. INT rate of 1.7%, Kaep's rate? 1.8%
TD rate? 4.2% vs 4.1%, edge Kaep.
YPA? 7.3 vs 7.2, edge Kaep.
They're pretty much the same exact player, difference is Kaep can throw the ball when he's put in a situation where has to and has lead a team to a Superbowl.

Because Tyrod has no touch pass is his arsenal.
He can throw deep. We've seen this. We've seen him hit Watkins and Goodwin for TD bombs in the past.
What he doesn't have, is a touch pass. A screen, a quick out, anything short that requires him to take a little off the ball.
That's why.
Can that be coached?
I don't know, but it seems to me that it should be easier to coach the short stuff, or high percentage stuff, than it is the deep ball.
