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 like how ESPN reported that the Bills will meet with Shanahan and the short list after that...Kevin Gilbride, Marc Trestman and Jim Haslett. Unreal. A terrible former HC, a Canadian football league coach and a guy that stars on a league that is on the Versus Network.
The big name will not come here...Ralph will not pay for it. Stop fooling yourselves.
I was actually just going to post something along the same lines (although maybe not as harsh). I just watched Adam Schefter give his latest report and he, again, reports that Shanahan is at the top of the list, with Bill Cowher second. Both of those candidates are very ambitious choices and would certainly satisfy the fanbase.
Then the list continues with Marc Trestman (a CFL coach, who I understand has had some some success in the NFL as an assistant with various teams), Jim Haslett (a guy who was unable to get another HC job with any 1 of the other 32 teams (anyone know if he turned down another coordinator job because he preferred to be a HC? And honestly, I could care less if the guy played for the Bills in the past.), and Kevin Gilbride (who was a disaster here as OC, albeit with some success with the Giants after being the OC here. He would also be a nightmare move PR-wise), and Perry Fewell (I get it, the guy will get a chance to interview, but is it only because of the Rooney Rule? Again, a PR nightmare).
While these coaches have enjoyed some success, they're clearly not in the same league (no pun intended), as Cowher or Shanahan (or Holmgren).
I just don't get it. I really think that there's very little chance we sign one of the top-tier guys. They're interviewing them to show the fans, "Hey, we tried", and then they'll go with some coach that will immediately be loathed by fans, setting them up for public-opinion-failure.
I hope like hell I'm wrong, but I'll be shocked if we get one of the top coaches.
Easy guys... kill yourself? A bit harsh, don't you think?
IAG... how can you read one article that offers two different possible conclusions (big name vs. non-big name) and deduce that the latter half is ultimately true and the former impossible? To me, that defines pessimism. I really think there is a ton of opportunity for the future of our franchise here... legitimate opportunity at that. Dismissing any possible outcome at this point tells me that you are never going to have faith in this team. If that's the case, what's the point? Why tune it at all?
I'd like to think I could get out of what was considered an abusive relationship if I was in one (and I knew it).
