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

This is a pretty interesting video that actually highlights Wade Phillips time in Buffalo. I like the guy. Always have and always will. I think that when he was fired in Buffalo it was a mistake that Ralph made based on Wade's respect and loyalty to his coaching staff.
The other one big thing that sticks out that season is Flutie being benched on the last game of the season becasue Rob Johnson had a 4 TD day against the Colts in a game that meant nothing to the Bills. I always thought that was complete and utter BS. Even though Rob played well and nearly won the game against the Titans (See Music City Miracle). Flutie had won 10 or 11 games that season and was stabbed in the back IMO.
His signing of his buddy with no special teams experience is what cost him his job. He could have created an assistant job if that was all he wanted to do was find him employment. Notice how Jones did not allow him bring him on Dallasss Cowpokes staff - it is the job of the GM to reject poor coaches from being hired by head coach.
Ronnie Jones even lost his job in college because he started a multi-level marketing scheme from his office. Talk about embarrassing.
In an article posted on the front page, Wade said that he didn't know "he quit" (per RW)... if he had known that sooner - he'd still be in Buffalo.

What else could Ralphie have done? He told Wade to fire the guy and he said no. You don't just tell your boss no. Ralph would have been viewed as soft if he had allowed that. Yes, it was a tough situation but when you got an incompetent coach, the owner recognizes it, and tells you to tell that coach to beat it you better do it. Sometimes you have to know which battles to fight. For Wade, that wasn't one of them. Really it kind of falls on Phillips. I liked Phillips as a coach but he pretty much lined himself in front of the firing squad and dared them to pull the trigger. Yeah, we lost out on the coaching end and Wade found success elsewhere but let's not view this past situation as some colossal blunder.
I want a coach with a big brass set on this team. Who do you have more respect for? Mularkey or Phillips? I don't know about the rest of you but I'll go with the guy that's willing to stand up for himself and what he believes in each and every time. Not the guy that runs out of town with his tail between his legs.
Then Ralph trys to cheap out by saying that Wade quit. If Ralph was such a great guy why twist the knife? Just let him go and pay out his contract.

It should never gotten to that point. Both are to blame for it and RW should of sat down with him during the offseason and talked it all out. It wasn't like we weren't doing OK at the time and the titans ended up losing to a very good team in St. louis in the SB by one score (or foot depending on who you are asking).
Wade won 30 games over three years in Buffalo. If 11 guys could cover a kick, he'd have been here a lot longer. I'd have taken that over Donahoe Williams and Mularkey anyday.
Had he not fired Polian, we'd have an SB win by now. Had he not fired Wade I think we'd have at least been in the playoffs for a bunch of years and considered a respectable team, not a joke.
I'm waiting for TO and Homo to get into a pissing match, see how Wade eff's up handling the situation, and watching the Cowboy's season go down the toilet.

I'd like to see that on Prime Time football!. Hmmm, how about Monday night?
