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

Besides all the great press laid on us, I think this says the most. Having to ability to win games at the end puts constant pressure on your opponents. The late 80's / early 90's Bills had that as one of their greatest attributes as well. You knew when Kelly got the ball with a few minutes to go and we needed to score, he was going to find a way to get it done a majority of the time.
I'm just happy we are getting back to those types of game days.
Re: I have been reading how the Bills are a second half team lately....
I problem lies, and I hate to say this, in the coaching. Last year, we came out swinging in fact DJ was getting all sorts of credit for fielding a team that had no business winning games. And most of that came from preperation and motivation. This year the preperation seems to be gone. We were out coached in the Raiders and Rams games in the first half. We need to expect the blitz, the first two weeks Trent wasn't blitzed much and he had a QB rating of over a hundred, the last two weeks its been at 81 and change. Screens and quality first half running will beat the blitz.

We play NFL talent every week, this isn't college. Adjustments need to be made in game to combat the other team's plans. I find it funny that people don't know that our teams practices plays all week to execute on gameday & you just don't throw them in the river after the first few series don't work out as planned.

I didn't say that adjustments don't need to be made, in fact that was our biggest weakness last year besides the IR list and inexperience. We didn't adjust last year, but the last couple weeks we haven't prepared very well. The Raiders played heavy blitz for the first time, and the Rams made a half dozen changes to try and confuse us. The coaching staff needs to prepare our young players better, so we don't have to come back in the 4th quarter for the 4th straigtht time. We need to make a statement, come out strong, and never let up.

You cannot win all the games or have them go the same way, it just doesn't work that way normally.
no but we were openers last season, and this season we're closers, I think its time to figure out what we're not doing Monday-Saturday that we were doing last year.
