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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

No ability to admit you even that you misrepresented him in your previous post. That's just sad man.
You pine for old guy we took a flyer on and his charity, go discuss that in spam. There's no football card for him or a Jersey available, so much for that. Seriously why do some of you dwell on non-football crap ?? He flies kites as well, maybe you can join him playing in the wind because he's not playing here.
Brandon is on the phone with Fred Jackson right now for damage control. Every Sunday is Free Jackson day and he will be used as our possession threat to replace Boldin.
Problem solved! OJ is out mid-season so Gillise should be covered as well.

The guy had more talent than the remainder of our WR group combined. I doubt he would even need to ask, let alone be fearful, about being cut from this team.
This is the same situation Reggie Wayne found himself in when he signed with NE a couple years ago. Wayne and Boldin have both had borderline HOF careers. But Wayne retired before camp ended with NE after looking old and slow. Just like Boldin. Neither decision was about "talent". They both got old which is ineveitable for every player. I felt this could be the case earlier in this thread about Boldin.
Great players know when they're done and they don't want to embarrass themselves or get marginalized by less talented young guys. Boldin quit because he knew it was time. It wasn't about the Bills sucking. He's done and he knows it.

Maybe 2 years ago. But now he's done. It was plain to all in the game the other night.
Here's the stat line for the one actual game he played in, 3 targets and his one 5 yard catch made him bigger than everyone else on the stat line. Haha.
Dude, he wasn't engaged at all or even making this team. This isn't the old Bills management where we'd keep people hanging around for no reason, he was told after the game last week it's cut or retire (his choice). They delayed it (he's been no cost at all) to make it look like it's his idea (classy move). They "he found a higher passion" or a "calling of god" is such a bunch of BS it's unbelievable people still buy that. This isn't 1997 when he loses a few hundred thousand $'s, he's missing millions.
Goodluck to your higher calling, we were the last check you might of seen if you could play. You couldn't anymore and your last resort didn't work out (Bills figured why not take a flyer ?). Bills read the material and put the flyer down. Would we currently be any 38 year old WR first choice, everything being equal ??
His leadership got us exactly 0 playoff appearances for the 8 years he was here. I love Fred Jackson, but letting him go was a decision that I don't regret. We should have offered him a coaching gig if we wanted to keep his leadership ability.

You and I both are well aware that FJ's leadership is not the sole factor for this team's won-loss record over that time period.
