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

It’s quite simple. Carolina wanted a WR. They know we need a WR. They thought Legette was worth it, Beane didn’t.
As far as KC, if the guy they picked gets 75 yards and a TD in another playoff loss to them, no one is gonna care that they moved back on day 2 of the draft.
So Beane fleeced Carolina for a better pick position today. I would have been fine had they chosen who they are going to pick today at 7:05. But 32 or 33 makes no difference EXCEPT draft position improved.
No I don’t buy it. The Chiefs had to have reason to believe they couldn’t have gotten Worthy if they stayed put. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have given us anything to trade up.
SF took a WR so they probably would have taken Worthy if we didn’t.
Here's what you and others are missing, if Bean wanted either of those WR's, he doesn't make at least on of those trades!

Well other teams wanted those guys and Beane didn’t. So who’s right? Beane, or the 3 other teams that thought WR’s were worthy of those picks? Time will tell, but when it’s 3 experts vs 1, usually the 3 are right.

It's a crap shoot, no one knows, look at the busts vs the ones that make it.
Oh it’s def too early to judge. Beane has a lot of picks over the next two days. He can still get some good players and he still could potentially trade the pick for an existing player (although the cap situation makes that unlikely).
I’m not passing judgment yet. I’m just a little confused as to why our draft board was so much different than others in terms of the WR’s available at the end of the first
So we traded back with KC to get Coleman (who I like) and Carter (who's just a body and no more).
Beane's use of the trade assets doesn't look too smart, tbh.
Of course you think we fleeced KC. You always see everthing from the homer perspective.

Except you assertion that "You always see everything from the homer perspective." is 100% false. You keep on showing that you have NO IDEA what "homer" even means.
BTW....you (as usual) are misrepresenting what I actually wrote.
I did not say I "think we fleeced KC."...I said " I suspect the Bills fleeced KC".

Do you understand what "suspect" means????
Really? You're going to split hairs over semantics?
And of course it's the homer perspective. Within hours after it happened- long before either guy even puts cleats on for practice, you come in with "KC pick (suspected) bad, Buffalo pick good."

You bet your ass I am. Because I purposely choose my words carefully.
You usually do not, making absurd declarative statements (in predictions) that the majority of the time are total bull****!!!!

Like this one....
I suspect that THIS one is going to look very stupid in about 8 months (probably sooner).
I changed my mind on that almost immediately, because when I said it I wasn’t thinking abound how crappy our div is. We will make the playoffs because of the sheer luck of the div being weak this year, and whoever comes in 2nd in the AFCN will kick the crap out of us in the first round.

Baltimore? Please, Chokebox Hero Lamar Jackson will seal the win for us.
Cincinnati? Maybe; but we looked better against them this last year. I don't think Brady will get owned by Anarumo the way that Dorsey did. McDermott certainly fared better than Frazier.

That last line is a keeper. How does FanBack do it?

I’m not being negative. I’m being realistic. Cincy owns us. We beat Baltimore in ‘22 (I was there) but since then, they’ve gotten better, Lamar has gotten better, and we lost talent and experience that we couldn’t replace due to the cap situation.
