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

the super bowl bills never won in pre-season. So don't worry if the first team offense doesn't get a first down. Relax. The Bills will still make the playoffs.
I DO NOT WANT TO READ ANYTHING ***** LIKE THIS IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS.

don't our seasons hopes hinge on soon to be mailmen and and guys who will be flipping flap jacks at IHOP?
No, the season hinges on the starters, and if the starters look like **** in the pre-season, they're going to look like **** in the regular season.
Results in pre-season don't matter. In the 4th quarter, it's our future 3rd stringers and future cut list vs theirs. It's largely irrelevant.
But, every single year, some of us come on here and point out how bad the starters looked and how that will affect the team in the regular season. Every single year, other people respond with "it's pre-season, it doesn't matter." Yet, without fail, every single year, the real game starts and the team has- get this- the SAME problems that they had in pre-season.
The team won't get magically better because the NFL changes the word in front of "season" from "pre" to "Regular."

Correct since you have that thing called proof to back up your declarative statement.

op u of all people should have caught that sarcasm :)
The problem the players had is that they just sucked and lacked talent not that the pre-season means or tells you anything about the regular season.
so, are you saying that players who suck suddenly get good in the regular season? Or vice-versa: players who are good in the pre-season will suddenly suck during the regular season?
I really don't think it's much of a stretch to say that how a player performs on the field during pre-season is going to be a pretty good indicator of how they will perform during the regular season, at least during situations where it's one team's starters vs the other team's starters.

Im not saying either, Im saying I dont need to make declarative false statements to know that a player sucks.
Every year a team goes undefeated or a QB like Bret Ratliff (quick tell me the team he plays for! and yes I already know) sets the NFL on fire in the preseason. Then they do **** in the regular season. Its been proven over and over again preseason performance both individual and team are not directly indicative of regular season performance.

This sounds like another case of using the exception to prove the rule. You gave me one example of a player doing well in the preseason and failing in the regular season. I'll give you six examples of a team failing in the pre-season and failing in the regular season: The Bills in each of the last 6 years. (Note: I'm talking in terms of how the starters performed against opposing starters, not overall stats or overall W-L for the team).
There is nothing that can directly predict how a team will perform. But if a player or unit sucks in the pre-season, it's highly likely that they will suck in the regular season, and the same thing goes for players who perform well in the pre-season.

The preseason doesn't matter
