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

Asked if Mike Shanahan and Bill Cowher will be coaching next season, Schefter said, "Mike Shanahan is, and Bill Cowher wants to," noting that Cowher's options are more limited, with Tampa Bay the leading candidate and Buffalo an option.

Awesome Sal, great work. You've caught the media's attention. I'm praying this is true and it is, the Bills will be sold out for the next 10 yrs. It will be the toughest ticket in town, I'm just glad we already got our seasons.
The issue that can both be positive and negative for us is Tampa Bay's ownership fired Tony Dungy and John Gruden, two guys who had won. Raheem Morris has barely done anything and many fans there view him as a placeholder. So the negative against us is Tampa Bay will not hesitate in firing Morris and replacing him.
The positive part is if I was Brandon I would work that angle hard to put doubt in Cowher's mind. Would you want to work for an organization that fired Tony Dungy and John Gruden?! Remember, Cowher always had the benefit of patience in Pittsburgh.
As far as a football situation, there probably isn't much difference. However, most people would rather live in Tampa versus Buffalo. No disrespect to Buffalonians intended.
if i was making $10MM a year, i wouldn't mind living in a mansion for like $1MM 15 minutes from the stadium and living with a cheaper cost of living than pretty much everywhere else in the country.
I also wouldn't mind getting a small piece of ownership.
I also wouldn't mind that i'd be gettinga top 10 pick, with very little that needse to be kept from the previous team. It's a blank slate. and with a ravaged team, you know the expectations for 2010 is very low.
even with cowher, if the bills went 4-12 next year, but actually won the four games by outplaying the other team, lost a couple heartbreakers by being a young team and showed that the OL is pretty solid, running is good, and there is a viable QB for 2011, i'd find that to be a whole lot better than what just happened this year.
He coached in Pittsburgh for a very long time. I highly doubt the warm weather in Tampa is a deciding factor.
Didn't say it was the deciding factor. However, all things being equal, most would choose to live in Tampa. The Bills need to have a signficantly better offer on the table to land Cowher. Lets hope they do.
what is morris's contract? how many years and for how much. ownership has to take that into account on a cash basis, no?
that means the bills should have more to offer.
And that means state tax or no state tax, cowher takes home more, plus puts an asset on his balance sheet that says, "minority owner - Buffalo Bills"
All i ask is for Cowher to come to Buffalo and let the city show him why he should stay. no one ever knocks the people of buffalo, famous or not. Southern hospitality my ass. Western New York is where the love is.
I think it would be stupid to get rid of Raheem Morris at this point especially after they just knocked off the Saints and will probably beat the Falcons.

The cost of living thing does not work in Buffalo's favor. When you add in the insane heating bills and higher taxes I bet Tampa is a better deal.
I personally would never want to live in Florida but I am the exception not the rule.
