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!
This is only a test
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

I have decided to adopt Travis Clayton as my personal binky. I just love the story.
I did this once before and it worked out ok. The guy's name was Jason Peters. Peters was a huge, freak athlete with no real position. The Bills signed him as an UDFA. They tried him at TE where he had some experience and he had trouble memorizing the playbook. So they moved him to the OL. His next stop is Canton.
Odds of Clayton amounting to anything are low. But just the notion of a 305 lb man running a 4.7 40 is fascinating. I'm in.
I’ve been on record for liking the pick. It’s a lottery pick for sure but just as with a lottery pick comes with a huge upside.
So many teams have used special packages for defensive players on offense (and vice versa), Vrabel, Bryan Cox, Edelman, JJ Watt, The Fridge, Deon…
Your best players can/should learn a secondary role for certain situations.
I mean, I'm not going to argue that a sure to be Hall of Fame player, playing at a position that he didn't come in the league playing, was underutilized, but I get your point. Guy was a monster who could really move.
All I remember is I thought he could be the next Bruce Smith and was sure disappointed when they put him on the OL. Haha
They drafted 10 players. Using their 10th pick on player that's eligible for a roster exemption makes sense considering any other 7th rounder at that point is going to have little chance to make the team.
One of my favorite moves that I don't think is getting enough attention is that Beane was able to trade one of their four 5th rounders for the Bears 4th round pick next year.

you can argue the word but the definition means not being used to fullest potential.
that could mean 50% or 2% underutilized…you know I was referring to the 2%

Hey I would have liked to see it but I don't know if that 2% at another position would a compromised him getting to the Hall of Fame at his one position or not.
I'm not going to second guess those who guided him to the Hall.
This was an awful board, hopefully the Center pans out because the rest are plumbers and furniture movers.
Maybe we get lucky and Coleman is crazy-skilled but just slow like D-Hop or Brandon Marshall. Either way, we drafted a guy to be our #1 who has the 40 speed of an edge rusher.
I would make a Koolaid joke about now but no spiked Koolaid in the world could conjure up some of these positive outlooks. The city of Buffalo clearly has a good package in town. Maybe some Blue Magic or WMD. Be careful out there guys…don’t forget to grab some naloxone from CVS before you ride the H train
Yeah I remember Mouldsie pumping us up us up about Jason Peters, before we sign them. And then in preseason, Jason Peters blocked a punt by the falcons rushing from the interior, recovered it, and returned it for a TD. Since then I always thought he was miscast by not putting him on the defensive line. Oh well I guess he did pretty good for himself.
I'm sure he could have played D line. Physical freak

It's more likely they get 2-3 immediate starters (Coleman, Bishop and Van Pran-Granger) and several other major contributors than just the center panning out.

You’ve made it your job to jab at your nemesis haven’t you.

I’ll bet you $100 only Coleman of those 3 is starting Week 1 regular season
