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!

When was the last time we beat the Patriots? Hell, when was the last time ANYONE beat the Patriots?
Yes, I'm a fan of this team, and that's why I'm bothered by the prospect of us being embarrassed on national TV for the second time in one season. Plus, this increases the chances of the team looking past the Miami game.
Well clearly the league doesnt feel it would be an embarassment or else they wouldnt put it on prime time. Maybe the league feels that Buffalo represents the NFL well. The energy on Monday Night was amazing and was probably the best primetime game this year. I take this as a compliment as a Bills fan that the league wants to come back to Buffalo for another prime timer and so should everyone else.

Wanna have a chance to get out of the bet you just lost to me recently? Just because I love the bills I will in all stupidity pick my beloved bills to win this Primetime upset special and end their win streak. If you win, you take out the sig I will give you tomorrow. You lose, your avatar and sig are mine for the rest of the season . GAme?
How can you guys be so negative about this? This is great news! The atmosphere is going to be insane, and can only help our slight chance at an incredible upset. So what if they blow us out? It's not like that's anything to be embarassed about this season. The Bills have fought hard the last few weeks and there's no doubt they'll fight hard for as long as they can against this juggernaut. And if the 12th man can come out like they did against the Cowboys, as we saw in that game, anything can happen!
Despite the Pats coming off a bye and being a juggernaut - The Answer feels that this game is going to be a lot closer than people think.
Are we going to be the 'surprise team' that knocks the Pats from the ranks of the unbeaten? Highly unlikely - but if we are for real than we are coming to play....

To all of the above questions:
WHO CARES.
Having this game Sunday Night in front of a jacked up crowd gives the Bills a better chance to win. Look how well they played against Dallas.
By the way, even if the Bills get blown out, which could very well happen, the Pats have been doing it to every team they played, except Indy.
If you think any Bills team is going to "look past" a game vs it's arch-rival Dolphins, you are a moron.

All good points but seeing how this team has played the last 5 games, I really really doubt they'll look past the Dolphins. The coaches know how to get our boys ready to play and they'll be ready this Sunday!
I'm excited that this game has been moved to Sunday Night...we're gonna be going in at 5-4 with a legitimate playoff shot. We get to show the nation that we're for real and that we are a playoff team. I, like the answer, believe this game is gonna be a lot closer than what everyone thinks.
There's two games now were teams have limited the Pats offense to watch tape on. Hopefully our coaches take some notes and employ that into the game plan. On top of the fact I hope the Patsies see a steady diet of Lynch. I'm talking 25-30 carries.
If we can come out and play the Pats tight win or lose, we'll gain even more credibility among the nation. Which I believe we can truly do. Can we come out on top?
If we can control the clock and ball, while limiting mistakes we sure can.
I'm really not sure if I'm happy about this or not...
In my unsolicited opinion, the Bills were set up by the NFL this year. I'm sure there's quite a bit going on behind the scenes with owners like Kraft, Jones, and Snyder among others certainly getting heard.
Are we now to believe that the Ravens/Browns, Giants/Lions, or Skins Dallas games wouldn't be far more appealing? Perhaps the league is putting the Pats on as many nationally televised games as possible in their quest for the perfect season. Otherwise I smell a rat.
IMO the NFL tried to craft as favorable as possible a schedule for the team this year as possible so that they could turn around and say, "look, we gave you guys the most favorable schedule that we can, yet you still failed to sell out more than 5 or 6 home games. Getting humiliated by a completely rested Pats team within the first 15 minutes probably also won't help TV ratings either.
At least ticket availability just went up for anyone wanting tix. Yet another great benefit of the NFL doing as it pleases when it pleases.
