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!
I'm glad I didn't listen to Marv's press conference!

It really wasnt that bad, people are just freaking because Marv said he doesnt understand the cap, which he has stated before in press conferences.
What does he understand? I love Marv but, he doesn't know the cap, he doesn't do the college scouting. He doesn't do contracts with Freeagents, but he is our GM. You don't see the problem?

No I really dont. No GM in the league does college scouting, they all have directors of scouting and thats what scouts are for, and Jim Overdorf crunches the numbers for the cap. Business owners have accountants, that doesnt mean they dont know how to run a business.

Most buisness owners actually at least pretend to tell consumers what they want to hear. Most buisness owners don't find way to alienate a majority of their customer base. This press conference has done nothing but hurt the bills image. A good buisness move

So let me get this straight. You would rather have Marv get up there and feed you a line of bull****??? If anyone actually listens to the press conference, he actually had a lot of good things to say, IMO. They are spending money up to the cap while giving themselves flexability in the future. Yeah i guess that is a horrible business decision.

In his 40 minute press conference he had some good things to say, but when asked the important questions about the cap, franchise tag, cap space, he sounded absolutely lost. It took chris Brown of the bills to finally figure out what he meant by cash to cap. And i respect the point that Modrak, and Overdorf run the show, but he by theory should have a clue about what they're doing, right? Old or not he just doesn't breed confidence in me as a bills fan. Hearing him today doesn't make me want to by tickets, but i hope he shocks me and gets this team some quality free agents.

It is a shame that many of the customer base heard, but did not listen to the PC.
It is a shame that the majority of the base thinks that any team can or will go out and sign numerous high profile FA's.
It is a shame that the majrity of the fan base does not see that bulding a team through the draft and not through high priced FA's (or a select few FA's) is what makes NE great year after year.

This organization is a joke and will be until there is a new owner. Folks, it isn't the free agent market that we need to look at, but it's the "new owner market" where we could finally find our MVP.
