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!
what do you think the bills biggest mistake of the first decade of the 2000's era?
in my opinion i think Dickey screwed us into several more years without a playoff birth

Well we really didn't do it, but the best thing of this decade is it ended.
In the end, there are only three liberal archetypes: The fools, the beneficiaries and the crooks.

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. - John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws,
to be led by permanent ideals -
that is what keeps a man patient

Gotta agree, it was the hiring of Marv. He brought in Dick and also was responsible for a lot of the misses in FA and the draft. It hurts to say it, but I think that hurt us the most.
I give a close second to Week 17 loss to the Steelers backups and miss the playoffs.

trading a 1st for Bledsoe...looked good on paper but failed miserably
trading a 1st and a 3rd picks for Rob Johnson
trading a bunch of picks to trade up for JP losmantrading a franchise LT in Jason Peters with no one on the roster to replace him
Letting Free Agents like Pat Williams, Ted Washington, Antione Winfeild, Nate Clements, Ruben Brown, Jay Reimersma, Jabari Greer, etc walk.
Cutting TKO and Sam Cowart with no LBers at the time to fill there shoes same can be said for Angelo Crowell, obviously injuries made them not the players the once were.. my point is we didnt draft or bring in depth to replace them..
Singing TO to sell tickets with no QB to throw to him
Mismanagement of Depth and Practice Squad Players for at least the last 5 years. Developing no talent what so ever
Doing everything on the cheap, signing other teams backups and bums to be starters here cause it cost us less... repeat same sentence for coaching staffs and front office
Number 1 reason is staying status Quo in the Front Office
feel free to add to the list or argue it.. but no playoffs in 10 years means all moves didnt workout one way or another

BIGGEST mistake the Bills made was not coming into Billszone.com and listening to the Realists. :chug:
