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

A message for the non-believers- No SD cupcakes please
A message for the non-believers- No SD cupcakes please
We have a chance to make the playoffs and talking the team down, picking the players apart and finding negative things is good for nothing. Buy a ticket to the game if your close, watch your team and scream your freaking head off. If you want to vent, do it at the game screaming when on defense, that will help the Bills.
Re: A message for the non-believers- No SD cupcakes please
Skooby, what you call "finding negative things", the rest of us call "making a realistic assessment of our chances at winning the next game". And no one has to "find" negative things about this team- it's not like we just won the SB 38-0 and people are *****ing that we had to kick a FG on one drive. The negatives are pretty obvious.
You want to talk about playoffs? First you have to talk how the 26th ranked rush D is gonna stop the best RB in the NFL. Because unless we figure that one out, playoff talk is irrelevant.

While I agree with your general sentiment, constantly being irrationally optimistic is just beyond irritating.
Its ok to be optimistic, its part of being a fan. But you cannot create some of the posts you do and not expect to be picked apart.

I got jumped on for my constant pessimism in the off-season because people found it irritating. By the same token, a lot of people find Skooby's blind optimism to be irritating.
Some of us would rather focus on this team's improvement and hoping JP can continue his success so this season seems productive, rather than be constantly reminded of what could have been with these damn playoff threads.

So Bills fans are not allowed to be excited and hope that they make the playoffs is that it? Oh, I know, its okay to hope for it just don't talk about it on the message boards right? I am a die hard Bills fan, I am excited about the team's improvement, and I to God that we can make the playoffs, even with a loss Sunday, guess what, its mathematically possible!
Go Bills!
Go Sabres!
JP Losman, your time is up!

right, and it's possible for me to win the lottery and it's possible for me to die in a fiery car accident driving home from work and it's possible for the next flight you take to crash into a mountain. But none of those things are going to happen.
Skooby's too hyper. He can't separate improvement from actually being good. We should be enjoying the victories, but we should also be realistic about the state of this team.
I'm hoping we're going to make the playoffs, too, as any fan should. But hoping for something and actually thinking it's going to happen are two totally different things. Skooby honestly believes it's going to happen, and that's just illogical and ridiculous at this point.

I disagree. I do agree with you that the probability of us making the playoffs are not likely to happen. However, I would not say that because someone believes the Bills will make the playoffs that they are "illogical and ridiculous". Frankly, there is no guarantee that they won't make the playoffs which is why somone could just as easily say you are "illogical and ridiculous". Again, I every night that we make the playoff and would not put money on them making the playoffs, but thats just my OPINION. People need to realize we are talking about a GAME here. Not everyone is going to feel or think the same way about the Bills.

You're saying that opinions can't be illogical and ridiculous, and they most certainly can be.
Fact: LT is the best RB in the NFL
Fact: The Bills have the 26th ranked run D
Fact: The Bills are 5-6 and would have to win the rest of their games to make the playoffs
Fact: The Bills have to play the Jets on the road, and they already beat us at home.
Fact: The Bills will have to beat one of the best D's in the NFL on the road (Baltimore) to make the playoffs
Fact: While Tennessee is pretty bad this year, the Bills already lost to the Lions, who are worse than we are. There's no such thing as a guaranteed win in the NFL.
Fact: Even if the Bills win the rest of their games, they still not make the playoffs, depending on what teams like KC and Denver do for the rest of the season.
In order to honestly believe the Bills are going to make the playoffs, you have to ignore all those facts and more. And that's illogical.
When someone comes up with as many facts that suggest we will make the playoffs, then they can call my post illogical too. But those facts simply don't exist.
to God that we can make the playoffs, even with a loss Sunday, guess what, its mathematically possible!
