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

BILLS COACH CRACKING DOWN
A league source tells us that Buffalo coach Gregg Williams was livid following the team's most recent pre-season performance, a 19-7 loss to Indianapolis.
According to the source, Williams' primary gripe was that the players took too many "stupid penalties." For the game, the Bills drew sixteen penalties, for 97 yards.
A brutal practice session is expected on Monday -- Williams told his staff to be sure that the players have three meals and a snack on Monday, since they'll be at the facility all day long.
I'm sure he is miffed! Afterall, who do you think is gonna take the heat if this team doesn't improve much beyond 5-11 or 6-10???
He owns the hot seat for the moment, although I partially feel bad for him in that TD didn't exactly address our most dire defensive need at all this offseason in our DL. So he's partly to blame although it will fall almost entirely on GW.
Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!
Wys, it was only one offseason. How many holes did you really expect TD to fill.
Considering all the changes GW is fairly secure. If we lose games because the DL he will get another year without question. If the entire team breaks down then he is out the door.
It probably depends on how they perform, not just their record. GW promised the team wouldn't have that many penalties last year, and they ended up taking some really stupid ones that likely cost them at least a game or two.
They could be 6-10 and headed for improvement, and he could be safe. But if they keep taking stupid penalties and putting in some questionable plays, I think TD's patience will be wearing thin by December.
Last night's game was, without a doubt, the worst ever. Rest assured, I was on the internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world.
I don't see how anyone can realistically judge him as a coach considering the crap he stepped in by taking the job. Marv was 5-11 his first season and we didn't run him out of town. If GW does prove to suck as a coach than I agree with firing him. In all seriousness, nobody could've won last year. He needs to win 7 games this year with what he has. If he doesn't than I agree that maybe a change needs to be made but the season hasn't even started yet so I can I honestly make an educated assessment. I agree with Wys, we really could use a big fat DT.

Marv's first full year was 1987...he was 7-8 and that was the strike shortened season...with the regulars he went 6-6...the following year they went 12-4 and to the AFC Championship game. Do you think this team is even close to that?
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

TD will stick with GW. He doesn't like to look wrong and TD passed over alot of other candidates to give Williams the job. I doubt he'd wanna eat that. I think he sticks around a little while

I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
