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

"I was here when coach Smith wasn't here," veteran defensive end Alex Brown said. "So, I remember how it was. Not to say anything bad about coach (Dick) Jauron, but it's a lot different now.
("Different than Dick Jauron" isn't exactly an ideal endorsement.)
Sad part is, i don't think Lovie Smith is that good of a coach either but man, when players are sticking up for Smith and saying that it's different then it was under Jauron, i think it just shows was a terrible coach he is.
Let's see. Take out Bears references and replace them with Bills references...
Local sports talk radio is filled with angry Bills fans, calling for the firing of coach Dick Jauron.
"Why doesn't he show any emotion on the sideline; he's too passive," callers routinely proclaim.
"I'll hang up and listen to your answer."
Bills players remain in his corner.
"I was here when coach Jauron wasn't here," veteran defensive end Chris Kelsay said. "So, I remember how it was. Not to say anything bad about coach Mularkey, but it's a lot different now.
Coach (Jauron) has a way of doing things, and that's doing it right all of the time. And if you don't adapt to that, then you won't be here."
Jauron's monotone, sleep-inducing responses to questions that often frustrate the media actually seem to reassure his players.
"He doesn't get too mad; he doesn't get too happy. He's always even-keeled. He coaches the same way," Kelsay said.
Tight end Derek Fine says players relate to Jauron's laid-back approach.
"Dick, as a coach, is what this team needs," Fine said. "We need that steadying force. ... To have that steadying voice with the same message coming every week is good for this team."
I really hope that isn't true, because it would make no sense at all.

"Coach Levy is one of the most inspirational people that I have ever known."

"You're not going to find a more classier, down-to-Earth person away from the field than Marv Levy. He's a guy who's pretty much made me what I am today as far as a professional player and a person."
