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!
That's what we as Bills fans should have a big rally down and show Ralph Wilson that we need the Bills. He's got to be impressed and touched that we care about our franchise enough to do this. I was wondering if this has been done in other cities in the past that were on the verge of losing a franchise,or in our case possibly.
There has to be a light at the end of this tunnel.
"The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Oh dear what? Do you have inside info about the state of the Bills? This is a concern that needs to addressed. If (God Forbid) this team leaves,at least the fans can voice their displeasure instead of sitting on our butts feigning confidence. Just being real,that's all!
i hate to break it to you, but if this team is moving then there is no saving it. teams have left cities like cleveland, baltimore, houston... what makes buffalo non-expendable? nobody cares about buffalo, or the bills, except us.
if the fanbase here wasn't so watered down with fairweather fans who only pack the gates when the teams are winning, we wouldn't even be facing this problem. it's as much the nfl's fault as it is the "fans" in the city.

Buffalo truely is a small market team. We just dont have the star power to get any kind of respect. I get laughed at when I mention JP is going to have a solid season people just dont see any potential in this team. If we could've built off of 2004 we might've had something but when you sit stagnant for this long people forget about you.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
I promise you one thing, if they ever did try moving the Bills, my a$$ would be laying in front of the moving trucks. Ill take one for the team (no pun intended). You might as well kill me, because football would never be the same for me.

Let's just have a baked sale, maybe we can finance a new stadium with the proceeds. Get everyone in Buffalo to bake something, bring it to OBD/RWS, hold the sale.
... wait, ... if everyone's there, who will buy the goods. Hmm. I suppose we can buy from each other.
Oh well, everyone just pitch in the amount of money it takes to bake the goods and drive to the stadium. Maybe we can build a new modern stadium with the profits to overcome a host of other incredibliy valid reasons as to why WNY has no future in pro football after Wilson sells the team to someone not likely to be from Buffalo.
