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 http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

Theres many things to like about this!

1) Owens has an unbelievable work ethic. He will demand that his team mates be in tip top shape right along with him
2) I think the AFCE got a whole lot tougher right now
3) Ralph can no longer be criticized for not putting his money where his mouth is
4) Its a one year contract and TO has been very good in year one with a new team.
5) He adds almost as many TD's in the past 2 years as our whole offense combined (assuming he continues the production)
6) Dick Jauron is a very good controller of his players and they adore him. I still think hes a lame duck HC but more for his management on the field. NOT his ability to manage the players. I think Dick may just be the right fit for him.
7) This may really work... I have huge reservations, but it may just work.
8) This guy is going to want to win and he will rub that attitude off.
9) Jerry Jones just came out and said that he has nothing bad to say about him. He said he should have him as the top guy for a reference.
10) TO just trumped the Cowboys calling them "Americas team" but the Bills "North Americas Team"... I kind of like it.
11) The signing officially locks up our #2 WR need and makes things more concrete as far as how much we have left to spend. I am thinking we will see a flurry of signings (2 or 3) very soon now that things are more clear with our most expensive need.
12) He wont have the heat that he had in Cowboys land. Less media coverage may keep him less stressed and let him just do his job.

I think we may also get more interest from FA's now that TO is a Bill.

Plus he brings confidence and swagger to a team that has neither. I don't like the way he runs his mouth all the time. A little trash talking i am cool with but sometimes he goes overboard. But i think he will help this team get some confidence and instead of lookin at NE as the unbeatable bully he will make them believe they can beat anyone. I am happy with this signing.

I wonder how much he will be able to... I mean Buffalo isnt Dallas... I just dont see him getting as much media up here. I think thats a good thing.

It could work for or against us:

For- players see that we are serious about winning and will want to play for a team thats so strong on O

Against- Im sure there are players who never want to be on the same team with TO

I think the majority will see it in the "for" column

I guarantee that we will have several agents calling Buffalo today and tomorrow to set up visits and I bet that we will have either June or Keiaho sign tomorrow....

I agree that signings are going to come much quicker now, but I think its also because we have a firm handle on how much were spending on our most expensive position. We now know for sure what we have to spend everywhere else.

Lets not go that far!

Well, maybe I could cut up a patch with TO on it and cover over the name Hardy... its only for a year.

I wont stitch it, just use Velcro so that I can quickly ditch him if he acts up.
