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

Anyone find it strange that all of these HC interviews are being held in Arizona?
Anyone find it strange that all of these HC interviews are being held in Arizona?
Could it be to avoid the media here in Buffalo going nuts with speculation anymore than they already are?
Could it be plainly because some of these candidates are already down there?
We've heard that Lovie is flying down there to meet with them and Marrone did. Horton and Whisenhunt were already there. I wonder how many other candidates did that we haven't even heard of yet...
Where else would you rather be than right here right now?
Re: Anyone find it strange that all of these HC interviews are being held in Arizona?
I dont think it has anything to do with media scrutiny. I think it has all to do with the fact that a good portion of our candidates happen to be in the same place at the same time.. and maybe they are just giving Fitz a ride home
Re: Anyone find it strange that all of these HC interviews are being held in Arizona?
Just speculation, putting all the reports together.
I think Ken Whisenhunt (because of Whaley) has always been among their prime targets. Ray Horton has been a popular candidate for years. Chip Kelly is the hottest name coming out of college.
They all just happened to be in Arizona this week - Whisenhunt and Horton because of their employment with the Cardinals and Kelly because of the Fiesta Bowl.
Possibly the reason Smith is flying TO THEM is because the interest is mostly on his part, and not the Bills.

Is Lovie interviewing for the Cardinals job? Going to Arizona is probably a two birds with one stone type deal for him. Just purely coincidence since like you mentioned everyone happens to be in Arizona and the Cardinals also have a coaching vacancy.

I will not be surprised if Tebow has more success than Peyton in the NFL.
Re: Anyone find it strange that all of these HC interviews are being held in Arizona?
If they came out Arizona with both Whisenhunt and Lovie, it may satisfy all the Bills fans. I don't know which order though. So far both of them are linked to the Bills and nobody else. Theoretically Whisenhunt is ideal for Chicago but the Bears show no interest so far.
Re: Anyone find it strange that all of these HC interviews are being held in Arizona?
I just don't remember then all congregating in one spot to conduct HC interviews. Seems like in the past they have traveled to wherever the candidate was or flew them to Buffalo to check our the facilities, etc. If they were going to meet anywhere I would have suspected Miami since the bowl championship game is there...

Re: Anyone find it strange that all of these HC interviews are being held in Arizona?
Not really.
While it's not the "norm," or at least what was considered the "norm" in past years, the fact that Whisenhunt, Horton and Kelly were already there, it makes more sense to just go there and knock out all of them in the same trip, as opposed to racking up miles flying there, flying back, flying back again, etc. If they wanna tour the facilities, etc, I'm sure that can be arranged and would likley be something that is done after the first round of interviews, anyway.
I don't think it has anything to do with a potential "media circus," either. Now, with twitter and information coming in damn near in "real-time," they coud do the interviews in Siberia and someone's gonna tweet about it or get a "scoop."
Another reason for all of them meeting in one central spot could be (and I say COULD be) to see if there is a chance of a couple of them working together... An example would be Lovie as HC, with Whisenhunt as his OC... Not saying it is the reason, but it's possible, especially if those guys don't have any other suitors.
