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

I don't understand why some people get so worked up
Re: I don't understand why some people get so worked up
I think your taking the opposite extreme. There are definite concerns and this team is by no means a playoff contender from what we've seen in pre-season.
Re: I don't understand why some people get so worked up
I guess I'm referring to the multiple people/phone calls I was getting during the game last night with other people absolutely flipping out. I started to get real pissed about it. My friends/family were acting like it was a playoff game last night. Once they actually open the offense up and get all the starters set, I think we'll be alright.
Re: I don't understand why some people get so worked up
Whats good about this 'vanilla' play calling and light gameplanning we have going on in the preseason is we can see how much the coaching can affect the way we play. If our gamplaning and more complex plays don't make us look any better we know there are problems with the coaching descisions.
Re: I don't understand why some people get so worked up
i hate the word vanilla. Can't anyone just say "basic" instead?
It is what it is, RS, people will overlook the good and focus on the bad, or overlook the bad and focus on the good. Whether it's the draft, minicamp, preseason, or the regular season. Welcome to the wonderful world of Buffalo Bills football.
Re: I don't understand why some people get so worked up
I don't really care. Last year, the Raiders went unbeaten in the pre-season(IIRC) and the Colts went 1-3. And I'm sure there're opposite cases as well. It's not a very good gauge, in other words. If they come out and look like the pre-season against Denver week 1, THEN I'll be worried. But not before.
Good riddance Fairchild. Of course, the knowledge of your departure will only make TE more hateable than the typical Bills QB. Good luck, hope we don't mess you up like JP.

I like to maintain the optimistic attitude but this team has not executed on either side of the ball in any aspect. Preseason or not, you need to be able to block and tackle to succeed. It being preseason and vanilla is nothing but an excuse, plain and simple. I am not throwing in the towel by any means but if this team doesn't drastically pick it up right now they will find themselves in a big hole very quickly.
Re: I don't understand why some people get so worked up
It's not about the win-loss record. There are legitimate concerns for even a vanilla (OK,OK, basic) offense/defense. I am worried. Not hitting the panic button yet, but there are some concerns worth talking about.
Just a couple of more weeks until the W-L record matters, and it's not an easy opening few weeks for us.
