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

Based on the comments I've read here, I wouldn't say the rivalry is dead. Sure, it could use a game w/ major playoff implications attached to it (noticed I said major, not remote like this game has).
But I have to tell you. I went to college in Rochester during the Bills glory years, and the smack feels right about the same. I think the focus has just been a bit on the Patsies the past few years, but that "hate" is still there!!
But I do hope your franchise does address it's financial issues (poor RW ... he only makes a couple hundred million a season, compared to Dan Snyder's billion or whatever it is) so it sticks around. Count me as a fin fan who would hate to see you leave.
I do agree with ICe though (I feel sick) , it's all Ralph. His oldschool approach to business is what's driving this team to the ground.. Believe it or not, Donahoes approach to hiring the likes of Drew ,Spikes sold tickets by the hiring alone but winning is the ultimate crowd drawer. Although I believe MArv will get this team back to winning , it'll take time.
Yeah what is up w/ that. In threads on this issue this week, it seems like an aweful lot of Bills fans are ready to put up the white flag on this one. What gives?? How could you not fight to keep your team? Do whatever it takes??
Or do like Berman says "Circle the Wagons." God I hate him for that. Hurts to say it - but I think it applies to this situation.
truth hurts. The owner himself is already starting to throw in the white flag and his kids don't want any part in continuing their fathers legacy. Until someone comes in to take over, I don't see things getting any better for the bills. I hope I'm wrong .
. It's not like the bills have been bad. We've already exceeded majority of peoples expectations. We've been winning games after the bye week and yet 3 consecutive blackouts. Who would've thought the bills vs. fins game would be blacked out? Not me. Any game but this.
Ralph should have maybe lobbied more for the Bills joining Pittsburgh and Cleveland in a divisional reallignment. It may have helped keep the team in the region.
As usual, the team falls short on the insight side of the equation.

It's never been nearly as big a rivalry for Miami as it has for us. They consider their biggest rivalry to be the Jets and visa versa.
The Miami v. Bills rivalry is one-sided for the most part.
If Ralph had been astute he would have lobbied to put Pittsburgh, Cleveland, us, and either the Jets or Cincy in one division. That would have expanded the television interests and guaranteed us two more home sellouts each season even if with Brown and Steeler fans.
