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

Bills come off bye to play a team coming off the bye as well (Texans). Following week, the Bills travel to New England who is coming off their bye. Basically, we don't have advantage of bye week, then we face division rival after their bye going to their house.
Bills face NE how many times in last 10 years when they come off bye?
New England has played us coming off of their bye in 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2012. They've played Miami once coming off of their bye, in 2009. They haven't played the Jets a single time off their bye in that span.
Even if we had 10 straight bye weeks we wouldn't be a able to beat the Texans in Texas, so I'm not really worried.

Exactly what I thought. That is a crazy statistic and totally unfair. Media needs to send a message to OBD and NFL that that is unacceptable.
I bet the rest of the league thinks it's very fair, giving the Pats a gimme after their bye week, instead of consistently giving them one of the other top teams in the conference.

Must be nice to be in the 'rest of the league' category.
That's a pretty damning stat. I don't care who you are or what you believe, those are all games and NFL regulated schedules set up for them to win. That isn't even a conspiracy, that is a better team getting an easy win after the bye week.
Here comes the conspiracy theorists once again. The NFL is out to get Buffalo and/or help the Patriots. It doesn't matter if they're coming off a bye week or not. We've beat them once in the past 10 years.

To be fair we've beat them twice in the past decade.
That's really not the point. Whether we win or lose by 50 points every game is not the concern. It's a simple matter of fairness. I could understand if it was 2-3 times but when Buffalo plays NE 6 times after their bye in 12 years that is a really messed up stat. Especially considering the fact that only the Fins got them once after their bye and the Jets never.
Its also stupid that on top of that our bye this year is voided with the Texans bye.
