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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The Official "I cant wait to read Sullys next column" thread
Re: The Official "I cant wait to read Sullys next column" thread
Jauron was a cheap, uninspired choice from the start. But he gets to stay, because Wilson couldn't stomach the alternative. Content with three straight 7-9s, the owner wasn't ready for drastic change. And presumably, Wilson didn't want to pay the price of buying him out.
Wilson can't begin to grasp the disgust among the fans right now. His team is a joke. On Tuesday, Denver fired Mike Shanahan, who has two Super Bowl rings. Bill Cowher and Brian Billick are in the job market. They've both won Super Bowls. Marty Schottenheimer, who has won more than 60 percent of his games in the regular season, is available.
Wilson wouldn't pay half of what it cost for any of them. Wilson says he shares the fans' frustration. He has no idea. I'm not sure he cares. This is the same man who let the Miami game go to Toronto and laughed when the team played like a bunch of dogs.
He blames "offensive game management" for his team's failures. By singling out the offense, Wilson might be trying to distance Jauron, a defensive coach by trade, from his team's most glaring problem.
There were a lot of dubious offensive calls during the Bills' collapse. But Jauron was the guy doing most of the bumbling on game day, the man who couldn't get a challenge flag out of his pocket or make sensible use of timeouts. If he's such a defensive whiz, why can't the Bills stop people when it matters?
Generally, Wilson identifies a scapegoat to appease the masses. This time, he's not likely to fire any assistants. Extending Jauron's contract is a validation of what he's done here, a statement for continuity. How would it look if they sacrificed coaches?

Can't wait to hear that podcast.
In past years, thought Sullivan was a sniveling little b**** at times. The kind of columnist who will find negativity wherever he looks. Now though, I kind of feel like he's become the voice of the entire fan base. I give him a lot of credit because people at OBD do read his columns (see Ralph's note to The News) and he still sacks up in pressers with DJ and asks tough questions. We all know he won't get any legitamate answers, but his heart is in the right place.

Sullivan could easily be a poster here for all the credentials he brings to the table. The only difference is that everyone is the mood right now to hear the little jerk. Tell me why his opinion (more than any other smo) should matter to any of us? Has he ever played football at any level? Ever coached it at any level? Does he have inside relationships with anyone who is an authority on football? (If so he's never quoted anyone noteworthy that I recall) So what does he have to offer? A negative opinion? Decent writing skills? What? He watches the games. We all do. So what? Sullivan reminds me of the nerdy short kid with glasses that never got picked for sports and is now getting his revenge on those mean old "jocks". Yawn.
Re: The Official "I cant wait to read Sullys next column" thread
I caught the tail end of his segment on WGR this morning and my initial thought was "Holy ****" and then I heard who it was. I never really read a lot of his stuff but I might start now. He is dead on.
