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!

Re: What cursed us?

Death has been trying to get Ralph before our last super bowl apearence and he keeps dodging him and we all know what death can do if cheated!!! Look at the Bills for reference

This is the conversation Death had with Wilson before the noorwood kick LOL

Re: What cursed us?

I'm guessing that your owner hasn't found his next Bill Polian to assemble a winning football team.

The Popcorn and Terrell Owens are coming to a town near you.

Bill Polian - Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Polian

On February 4, 1993, after the Bills had appeared in their 3rd straight Super Bowl, Polian was fired as general manager. Polian wasn't fired because he wasn't doing a good job, he was fired because he didn't get along with treasurer, Jeff Littmann, for reasons unknown to all except those close to owner Wilson, Littmann and Polian himself.

In his closing press conference, Polian said of the team that he built, "They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."

Ask yourself: What on earth would cause a football GM and a treasurer (aka "Money Man") to clash to the point where they couldn't work together? Personally, I can only think of ONE reason that a GM and treasurer would clash at all...

The last bolded sentence, after 11 seasons of not even making the playoffs, should also ring very true.

I have no problem with the 90's. We won all the time.

Since 99...it is easy...the curse of benching Flutie.

Re: What cursed us?

I do have a notorious sports curse, but I was a fan during the SB seasons of the early 90's, so it must be something else. I think we used up 2 decades' worth of luck on the Comeback Game and it's been biting us in the ass ever since.

Realistically though, it comes down to two things: Ralph and free agency. The game changed and Ralph refused to change with it.
