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

Go to the Bills home opener this year, do what you do here and yell "BILLS SUCK!! YOU'RE GONNA LOSE!!! 3-13 HERE YOU COME!!!" Then try to explain to those around you how you're really a fan but just a realistic one.
Let's see how far that gets you. I double-dare your asses.

First of all, your words in quotes make us sound like we're EXCITED to say the Bills suck, you're gonna lose and 3-13 here you come.. In my case at least, that's not true.
And when your paying your hard earned money to go the games, knowing they suck... If thats not a "fan" then I dont know what is.
First of all, if you're a true fan, you'll never admit that they suck.
No loving spouse will ever say his wife is butt-ugly. You're SUPPOSED to wear the rose-colored glasses.
Like I've said before, if you have no faith in the team, you're just a critic, not a fan.
Your talking to the wrong person cause I cant stand my wife.
I have a ton of faith in the team, I think they're building a contender, but it sure as hell aint gonna be in 2006.
In March like 90% of the people on here I bought into a 2-year process for rebuilding. It's July and I stick by that now. We're looking good for the future but for now; we are stinky....
1) Besides "Thank" every Homer Post.
2) Besides "Groan" at every non-Homeristic post
3- Besides link any POSITIVE Bills press you can find on the web.
Why dont you shock the world and add some original thoughts and insights besides "Im a fan" and "You gotta have faith" as to why Buffalo is going to have a successful season

Fandom is not based on evidence. We don't need to prove that they'll be good. We maybe wrong, but we'll defend it to death, because we have faith. Just like a religion.

This just goes back to what I've stated time and time again. Whatever moves this front office does are right, justified and smart. Any moves made by any other organization in the league is wrong and laughable.
Just because someone "dons" our colors doesn't necessarily make them good NO matter what you think or believe.
So are you more of a fan who follows with blind faith then someone who objectively looks at things?

I should put this quote in my sig. It says all there need be said about a true homer.

Wrong.
That's like me saying if you don't criticize your team when it is sucking ass, then you're simply a guy looking for an excuse to suck down beers and wings on a Sunday and not a true fan.
Neither praising nor criticizing your team has anything to do with being a fan. Period.

what point is there in being a fan if you don't hope for the best, if you don't hope that your team overcomes all the critics - at its heart, especially at this time of year, it's about hope...
some ask for reasons why people think they'll be good and give their own reasons why they think they'll be terrible .
in this league, every year you see teams everyone thought would be punks turn out to be successful - why not at least believe it could be us who surprises people this year?
maybe our hearts will be broken eventually, and as Buffalo fans, they often are, but I for one like to at least have this time to of year to think positive.

They can't. The only insight they have is that we're the Bills so we're gonna be good.
And relating to #2. Look at the groans and that speaks truth to your example. This is too funny.

Everyone who doesn't think we're gonna be very good still hopes there is a miracle and we end up having a good season.
Looking at a team for what it is doesn't mean you don't hope they will be good. You just don't think they will be very good. There is a difference between what you think and what you hope for.
