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!
EVERYONE should be upset, not so much that we lost guys but that we're trying to replace ALL of them with completely unproven backups. But hey, it worked ONCE with Edmunds, so no need to be concerned, right?
It's one thing to get rid of players who are clearly declining, but it's another thing to just expect all their inexperienced backups to come in and play at the same level.
Who have they replaced with inexperienced backups??
Re: Can you win a Super Bowl without a great #1 WR?
OPIV constantly makes references to the salary cap and brings up the salary cap endlessly.. but he doesn't know the basic s of how nfl salary caps work lol

Almost nobody and I mean almost nobody on this board was excited when the Bills brought in Hyde and Poyer. I honk that’s where my optimism comes from. I think Beans has done a pretty good job with these accusations. Not all by most and there probably isn’t one person on this board that is surprised by your suicidal reaction to the signings. You would be negative no matter who they signed.
Gabe sucked hard to be worse
Diggs obviously was an issue
Hyde and Tre didn’t play much last two years
morse isn’t nearly the Morse of old.
so who else?
See, you’re confusing two different issues. No, Morse was not the Morse of old. But, we also don’t have anyone on the roster who can play C equal to or better than what Morse did last year. Same for Diggs and Davis. Maybe Shakir but he can’t replace both.
Re: Can you win a Super Bowl without a great #1 WR?
Again you said 6 lost . Who? Dont mention my list. Who is the loss that is not replaced. You have zero idea how the kid will play at center where he has played before so shown… who was the big loss?
Poyer?
Diggs and his lack of big game production?
I know you aren’t opening about the Gabe Davis subtraction.
where is the massive insurmountable loss? It isn’t at center.

it isn’t at CB.
No one has any idea how the kids will play. We lost Diggs, Davis, Poyer, White, Hyde and Morse. Expecting the kids to step up and play well enough to replace all of that…. Just insanity. Yes, they were all past their prime but it’s still a talent deficit. We have no one proven to be equal or better.
It’s drought era thinking. During the drought, the team was actually good at not overpaying guys and getting rid of aging vets. The mistake that they consistently made was expecting to replace them with “next man up!” That’s what’s happening here.

Jesus dude, you’re incorrigible
Mike Edwards 2 time Super Bowl champ (replacing Hyde/poyer) isn’t a ‘kid’
Taylor rapp isn’t a ‘kid’ (replacing Hyde/poyer)
Curtis Samuel isn’t a ‘kid’ (replacing one of the wr)
Tre whites replacement (Douglas / benford) aren’t kids
I’ll give you McGovern as we don’t know what we are getting
and the two wr we need in the draft are kids
but to act like we are just winging it with replacements is just false

Rapp was the backup. Douglas was brought in to complement White, not replace him, but I’ll give you that Benford spent most of the season playing for White anyway. Samuel not being a kid doesn’t mean he’s good enough to replace Diggs. You already said McGovern is a question mark. I’ll admit I don’t know much about Edwards but one can’t replace two.

Once again… read slowly.
Diggs. Okay a replacement is needed as a 1. He really wasn’t all that irreplaceable down the home stretch though
Tre and Hyde WERE replaced already the last 2 years. When they came back briefly… they were kinda the backups playing spot duty.
Milano will be back so LB is improved.
Poyer played un poyer-like. Easy replaced talent at its current level.
morse McGovern… meh probably will be seen as close to a wash if not an improvement. Morse is old and can’t remember where he left his keys some days,
so let’s talk about Gabe Davis… what about his stellar play cannot be replaced ?
it seems to me that you are thinking the Bills are suddenly missing the Tre, Poyer, Hyde and Morse of 2021. And Gabe from that KC game.
hell I’d rather Shakir get the Davis Balls . He will catch them at least.
