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

2nd greatest comeback in NFL history! Bills beat Colts 37-35
2nd greatest comeback in NFL history! Bills beat Colts 37-35
Buffalo 37, Indianapolis 35 - September 21, 1997 at Rich Stadium
The Bills mounted the second-larges comeback in NFL regular season history when they overturned a 26-0 deficit. Rookie RB Antowain Smith capped off Buffalo's scoring frenzy when he crashed through the line and scampered 54 yards. He had scored the go-ahead TD (30-29) on a one-yard plunge on the previous series.
I remember this game vividly. Antowain Smith probably had the game of his career.
Just wanted to pump all of you up before the tough game that lie ahead.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rookie Antowain Smith rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills engineered the second-biggest comeback in NFL regular season history, holding on for a wild 37-35 victory over the winless Indianapolis Colts. The Bills overcame a 26-0 deficit, then stopped a 2-point conversion and a pair of desperation passes in the final seconds to beat the Colts. The Colts score opened the game scoring on 5 drives, a Jim Harbaugh 10 yard TD Pass, a Marshall Faulk 10 yard run, and 3 Corey Blanchard FGs put the Bills in a big hole. Lonnie Johnson got the Bills on the board with a 16 yard pass from Todd Collins with 2:32 left in the half, and Christie cut the lead again with a FG at the buzzer.
Antoine Smith took over in the second half, first scoring on a 15 yard TD run. A muffed punt set up Indy with another golden opportunity. Indy responded with Blanchard's 4th FG of the game to give the Colts a 29-16 lead with 10:19 left. Early capped an 11 pay drive with a 4 yard TD reception from Collins with 6:25 remaining. Buffalo quickly got the ball back at the Colt 44, and 3 plays later Antoine Smith gave the Bills a 30-29 lead with his 1 yard plunge with 4:43 remaining. Indianapolis was thwarted on offense again, turning the ball over to the Bills at midfield. On the next play, it appeared Smith shoveled the last bit of dirt on the Colt's grave with a 54-yarder that made it 37-29 and appeared to seal the victory with 1:14 left. But Indianapolis moved 80 yards and made it 37-35 when backup quarterback Paul Justin, playing for a groggy Jim Harbaugh, hit Marvin Harrison with a 2-yard touchdown pass with 14 seconds left. Kurt Schulz stepped in front of Justin's pass for Harrison on the 2-point conversion, preserving the win for the Bills. It appeared Schulz held Harrison on the play, but no penalty was called.
