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

Is this the 1st time that a road 1-3 team is favored over a 3-1 home team?
Is this the 1st time that a road 1-3 team is favored over a 3-1 home team?
I just wonder how a 3-1 home team is a underdog to a 1-3 road team ?? The Bills have only been favored in one game at Cincy & lost it, so is the book putting emotion before reality ?? We beat the Patriots at home, yet Philly poses a higher risk of defeat for the Bills ?

it is based on the fact that the eagles have mike vick, lesean mccoy, desean jackson, jeremy maclin, asomugha, etc.
they are extremely talented, just havent put it together yet. besides, i prefer winning as underdogs
Does this mean that the Bills are talentless or that previous acts by the Eagles players combined are creating a chemistry of winning ?? We're playing a 1-3 team that hasn't found a way of utilizing who they have to win & they're on the road, are they supposed to get it together better with more noise (12th man) screaming ??
I cannot see how a Eagles team that can't play together well, with obvious flaws on their lines can go on the road & beat a Bills team that has beaten NE / OR who are as talented that have been playing better.

Or our victory vs the Pats.
Exactly.
I think a foot always on the gas theory needs to be a standing motto of Chan / crew. I watched Aaron Rodgers stay on the field & pass while up by 25 points, that really got me thinking that it's always on until 00:00. That's a good way to live, always be ready.

where did i say that we were talentless? i actually said we were gonna win, so take it easy bud.
and if you truly think we're as talented as the eagles and that there is no way they can win, then our first 3 wins have got you a little bit too excited. we play well together and may be a more cohesive bunch but we are not as talented top to bottom as the eagles.

I mistook your points so I apologize ahead of time. Your inference of those Eagles players that have so much talent than the Bills players meant to me that the Bills players are less or under-talented to handle them, is that not what you meant ?
Another factor is that individual talent & a team's cohesive talent may not find the same ground. One other thing is, please don't tell me how excited I am or not. I don't know you & you seem to like to grind a touch, like a few on here I'm picking up.
I'm excited that the Bills are doing well, just for the record.

i think when people put money on the table (as the spreads and favorites suggest), you need to show a history of winning. The odds makers aren't going to go with the flavor of the month. Just like your life insurance policy isn't going to watch your cholestrol go down from 280 to 270 and get excited that you aren't still most likely going to cause them a payout.
It's good news, but you need the history to makes the odds makers to feel like you are worth backing. if they make the bills the favorites, it becomes a no brainer for a lot of people who don't follow the two teams to say, "i trust vick over fitz and reid over gailey." The books gets blown out to skew on side and if there is an upset, they are screwed.
Re: Is this the 1st time that a road 1-3 team is favored over a 3-1 home team?
I believe we were favored against the Raiders as well...I want to say the line was Buffalo -3.5.
It's still early enough in the season when people also still believe that records don't necessarily reflect how good the team really is. Especially for the Eagles.
