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 http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

"Big Jan 15 announcement" - is it materializing?

01-13-2010, 10:32 AM

I've read a few times that there was/is supposed to be some "big announcement" tomorrow. Is that really going to happen?

"'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.'"

"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."

Well, ok. So I can't read a calendar. Is there anything "real" that suggests that anything earth shattering will be coming on Friday?

Re: "Big Jan 15 announcement" - is it materializing?

nope. thurman backed off of the comment. to be fair, i never heard him say the Jan 15th date. i only heard it here.

The bills have no idea what they are going to do. They have no one willing to take the job, they may like frazier, but they know a low key never been HC at the NFL is a hard sell. They know going with the 4-3 in the AFC east is tough, but knows they don't have the players for 3-4. This team is f'd to the uck, my friend.

the bills aren't working on a crazy cowher release party or a ownership change. they simply don't care as long as ralph is alive. he doesn't process what his poor management has lead to. and his yes men aren't going to say anything, and he won't leave detroit.

And they've all agreed to work for minimum wage with a % of the gate.

Re: "Big Jan 15 announcement" - is it materializing?

This is my guess for the Big splash..

In an unprecedented move the Buffalo Bills are going to play the 2010 NFL season without a head coach.

what a joke is team is turning into.... Just when you think things can't get any lower for a Buffalo sports team along comes Ralph and his bunch of misfits. I can't wait to hear the spin coming from one Bills drive when they try to sell this truck load of garbage.

without a coaching staff. Don't forget that we fired the whole staff.

I would like somebody with a big, big chip on their shoulder, a guy that wants to give a big f$%k you to the national press... How about Mike Leach. I never thought I would say that, but his door isn't being beaten down, he is going to have a chip on the shoulder, and he has a fetish for scoring points. Get a good DC, and let it rip.

I think the Bills should be pioneers, and start Internet Coaching via chat room. All the members of Billszone will log onto the chat room on Sundays, and make the play calls as a group.

As a bonus - Think of the MONEY that would save Ralph Wilson Jr. in salary.

This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
per play average than the Bills' offense!
