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!
(you see Williams and Meachem looking all around as they slowly walk into the restaurant)
Do you think they would sign here over a glitzy city like Dallas, NY, SF, etc? Does it ultimately come down to a higher price we can pay that other teams can't? Obviously they're aware we're not a winning program too.
Buddy Nix should start selling CutCo knives if these players sign.
its a valid point. buffalo offers almost nothing as a city in comparison to a place like dallas (i lived there). but it really depends on what is most important to them. making a lot of money and being the center pieces in the turnaround of a franchise (like new orleans and the texans saw). i think for most players that are serious about football and not being in a party city, that is what they look for.

Has NY, SF or Dal shown interest in either player?
I doubt any of them would go after Mario as the Jets/Dallas and 49ers run a 3-4 and speculation is Mario is better suited for a 4-3. In terms of the Giants they have a pretty good D-line last I checked so doubt they need him. Meachem might interest the Jets with the market for WR getting tighter and tighter and speculation that Plaxico is going elsewhere.
As fans we overrate how important these cities are. Most of the Bills don't live here anyway, they are here to play football. Buffalo is not a NYC or LA but it is has plenty to do for them while they are here during the season.

Meachem also has a ring which might help land him more easily. Mario doesn't have one and if he's one to care about his legacy he might be looking to join a team that can offer him that and pretty good pay check. I wouldn't blame him if he signed elsewhere. As as much as think both of them would improve our team immensly I can't say either one individually or as a pair would get us near the Super Bowl but would get us a step closer to the playoffs.
This town lives and breathes it's sports teams. That's something you don't get in other cities also.
Which is nice but again if I'm a player at the end of the day I look for a team that can win and give me a chance to start and a fair salary. Fans would like to think we make a big difference because of what we hear in interviews but if you listen closely most players see the game as just a business.
well luckily they're not quite downtown, they're just far enough to avoid seeing that eyesore up close.
Yeah hopefully they didn't use the city streets (Union to William to Delaware) to get from the airport to Tempo. As love to see the looks on their faces if got anywhere near Broadway.
