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

I know its not bills related but i want to get everyone's opinion on this. With the AFC playoff race tight as it is. I think its unfair to the other teams that the colts were winning then seemingly didn't try to win. Just think if the bills were one of the teams that needed the jets to lose. It would piss everyone off. I don't know what kinda rules you could make for this but in shear respect for the game you should never not try in a meaningful game.
this is why it's important that you control your own destiny instead of needing help from other teams. If the bills needed a colts win to back up into the playoffs, then we don't deserve to be in it to begin with.
What is important to other teams is no importance to the colts. Their goal is to win the sb and everyone else can watch them win it.

That is a good point but it still would piss people off to see a team not trying out there agaisnt a team you need to lose.
Disagree. The team's first priority is to the team, not to everyone else. The Colts should do what they think is in the best interest of the Colts trying to win a Super Bowl. Whether or not what they did actually accomplished that is another question...
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
The Bills were in the same position a couple times and once Marv Levy was told the same thing by someone.
His response (paraphrasing):
"We have no obligation to any team but ourselves. We earned the right to play it however we want. We can't worry about what any other team wants or needs."
I agree 100%. Imagine of Jim Kelly got hurt and Marv said, "yeah, we played him because we wanted to make sure it was fair for the rest of the teams fighting for playoff spots."

You play to win the game if they were worried about peyton getting hurt don't even play him
The game they are playing to win is the Super Bowl. Can't do that if Peyton blows out a knee.
It's a less than 1% chance, but why risk it? The on ly reason I would have played starters longer is to placate my paying audience. Those in the Dome at Indy are the only ones I feel bad for- paying top dollar to see an exhibition game. If it was a road game, Id sit them myself.

Remember the final game of 1992? Kelly got knocked out of that one and he sat for a couple of playoff games. Indy doesn't have a Frank Reich to rely on
