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

Various news stations are reporting at this time that Marshawn Lynch’s three game suspension will be upheld. For you diehard Bills fans this feels like a blow below the belt...
Post your thoughts here or in the other thread going about it. It's appreciated.
Biggest Donte Whitner supporter on this entire message board...Maybe biggest Donte Whitner fan ever...Wish there was a white throwback out that I could get of you guessed it #20...
Stallworth kills someone, Vick kills animals, Lynch has a gun on his person (in which, name how many NFL players don't.) and he gets 3 games, while felons get the same opportunity.
Mr. Goodell, go **** yourself. You want this league to last? Take interference with the players assosciation rather than cost players and teams their future. Prove a point? Good for you!
Goodell needs to crack down on players who play dirty ON the field. Did Marshawn deserve punishment in some sorts? Yeah sure. but what about dirt players like Wolfork etc.
I want Lynch to play to. Unfortunatly he did something wrong. He broke the rules. Now if his punishment is fair compaired with others is certainly debatable. Did Marshawns previous off field indiscretions play a part in Goodells decision and punishment ? Probably.
Bottom Line, Marshawn needs to stay out of any off field troubles and he won't have anything to worry about. If he continues to get caught doing things that violate the rules then the punishments just or unjust are going to keep coming.

If we should be mad at anybody, it should be Brandon Marshall. After Goodell reduced his suspension he goes and gets arrested once again. Any leniency towards Lynch went out the window right at that point.

You're right.
Now, if Goodell never reduces a suspension again, I'll be satisfied. I won't be happy that he decided to start playing tough with Lynch, but if he's consistent about it from now on, then I'll be ok with it.
But, if he reduces a suspension for the next guy that comes along, I will NOT be happy about it.
Does Lynch deserve to be suspended? Yes. But so does Brandon Marshall this offseason, and there hasn't been a peep about Marshall after he had incidents (I believe) twice just this offseason alone.
There seems to be no consistency. Lynch definitely did something wrong and deserves to be punished, but the punishment does not seem to be in accordance with the suspensions he's handed out already.

I knew the comish wouldnt overturn it. F***ing joke. I would say what i thought but pretty much everyone above me has already. and i hate to repeat what others have said. All we can hope is he remains healthy for the remainder of the season. I think with the 3 game susp. he will still break 1000 yards... he should come back starved and ready to enter BEAST MODE
While it can be argued that a 2 game suspension might have been a little more fair, Lynch did have 2 relatively major incidents in a short period of time. The hit and run, in fact, could have been far worse if not for some really good luck (i.e., the victim wasn't seriously injured or killed).
You can compare Marshawn's suspensions to Marshall's and others, and come up with reasons why his treatment is a little too harsh. But all in all, it's probably about right - and might teach him a valuable lesson.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
