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!
This is only a test
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

Jay Skurski @JaySkurski#Bills GM Buddy Nix has declined an interview request made by The Buffalo News to address the state of the team and coach Chan Gailey.
Jay Skurski @JaySkurski
Nix, through a team spokesman, said he would prefer to address those topics at the end of the season.
Before this season, I had more confidence in Gailey than Nix.
I no longer have confidence in Gailey either. They both need to go.
But, Nix will likely attempt to save his own skin by firing Gailey, then hiring some poor sap to attempt to win with the steaming hunk of **** that Nix calls players.
I could see a scenario where Chan is given the option of resigning or else he will be let go, then Buddy stays on through the draft. New coach, new GM to start the 2013 campaign.
In my opinion Chan will get another year. Nix is going nowhere anytime soon. First Buddy Nix has not put a franchise QB on the field in his time here, Yes this is true, But he has built very good offensive and defensive lines. His theory of building from the lines out is not the most popular way of building but it is one that has proven to work with other NFL teams in the past. Also if you look at the over all talent on this team (and yes, the team has under achieved. More because of defensive and offensive play calling than lack of talent though.) it is much better than years past. Nix has talked about continuity since he was hired and 3 years and out is not continuity. I am not the biggest fan of Chan Gailey but I do agree with Nix as far as bringing in another coach and another system not only sets players back by having to learn the respective system but then you have roster turn over AGAIN. A new coach is going to want his guys and he may not like some players we have which leads to having to allow a season or two for players to get familiar with each other and the system.
Houston went through this and so has Cincy. Kubiak went through some pretty lean years before finally getting to the playoffs. Unfortunately weather we like it or not Nix is going to give Gailey another year. All we can do is hope that over this off season we solidify the positions of need (LB depth, talented WR) and this team gets it together. Remember folks Nix already committed to Fitz for the foreseeable future (at least a year or two more) publicly on more than one occasion. Do you think he really plans on firing Gailey and then forcing a new head coach to have to stick with Fitzpatrick? A new coach will want his own guy at the position. Nix is sticking by Gailey for at least one more season.

Hey, a guy can dream right?
I'd be totally down with this, so long as Whaley was given a lot if input on the coaching hire since he's the heir apparent. Bottom line is that aside from Fitzpatrick, this team has the talent to be a playoff team. And even with him they should be in the mix. No reason we shouldn't be 7-6 at this point in the season.

I hope Buddy does not get to make the decisions for the 2013 draft!
I hope with every fiber of my being that you are wrong. I can guarantee 100% and would bet my house on the fact that if Chan and Fitz are still here, they will not make the playoffs. Guar-an-tee.
I hope the Bills don't like making money. I will guarantee they lose 15% of their season ticket sales if Chan Gailey is the coach next year. I know that I won't spend a dime on them.
