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

Plus, Grimm didn't turn us down. They had a short week and it didnt get done this week. He said he was focused on the Arizona job right now and if the opportunities were out there at the end of the season he'd entertain them.
it amazes how Billick seems willing to come to Buffalo and they don't want anything to do with him. the Bills SUPPOSEDLY claimed that they want an offensive minded coach with Head Coaching experience. the only candidate they have is a DC with no Head Coaching experience. am i missing something here?

It amazes me that people think Billick is an offensive mind
Anyone who beleives this I have a challenge for you, Show me his offensive genius during his HC years. Show me the fatastic offensive capabilites he is known for...
So lets discuss Billicks Offensive Offenses
Here's what I know to be fact
Go here for stats and just change the year in the url for each season you want to review
Brian Billick claimed that he knew quarterbacks, but he spent nine seasons as the Baltimore head coach proving exactly the opposite, writes Len Pasquarelli.
After the Baltimore Ravens' lengthy search for a starting quarterback in 1999 concluded with the underwhelming signing of free-agent journeyman Scott Mitchell, then-rookie coach Brian Billick attempted to allay the concerns of unimpressed fans by self-assuredly proclaiming: "Trust me, Baltimore, I know quarterbacks."
Those came to be infamous words in Baltimore, where Billick spent the ensuing nine seasons demonstrating that he knew very little about how to fix the Ravens' chronic shortcomings at the game's most critical position.
As Billick departed on Monday, having delivered a Super Bowl XXXV championship but never having remedied the Ravens' most glaring deficiency, it's worth mentioning that the team's quarterback situation is every bit as unsettled as when he arrived.
Having presided over some of the NFL's best offenses of this era while serving as the Minnesota coordinator under Dennis Green for five seasons, Billick was never able to transfer that same big-play magic to the Ravens during his tenure as head coach.
Yeah, the Ravens won a Super Bowl title, but that was more a result of a suffocating defense, and it came in a season when, as usual, Billick was forced to shuffle quarterbacks.
The quarterback who led the Ravens to their Super Bowl win, Trent Dilfer, was gone the following spring. And the litany of names with whom Billick attempted to fill the position -- guys like Tony Banks, Elvis Grbac and Stoney Case -- defined the term suspect
Billick's rep mostly comes from the (absolutely sick) years he had in Minnesota. As a head coach, he made all the chicken salad out of chicken **** that he could, and leaned on one of the best defensive squads ever to get him by.
That, and a Super Bowl ring, will get you places.
I hope, given the other possible candidates, that he's our pick. I'm not worried about his offensive numbers. I'd like the next guy to be a good head coach, who can get us good coordinators, that can get us to the playoffs.
Billick did it four years out of ten as a head coach, and got a championship out of it.
Sold.
