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

What can we reasonably expect in 2013? What does the spread look like for Bills first-year coaches and for the league?
*note: first year of a head coach for a respective team, not the first year they've ever head coached in the NFL (i.e. Andy Reid in KC would be counted)
Here's what to look for in a 1st year coach-Improvement as the season goes on. A 1st year coach who has a team playing well at the end of the season is a Super Bowl threat as early as in his 2nd season. 2nd year coaches who have won the Super Bowl in their 2nd season as HC of the team have the following number of wins (1st # is the season before they arrived, 2nd # is their 1st season, & 3rd number is the wins the year they won the Super Bowl)
Billick: 6-8-12
Belichick*: 8-5-11 Future HOF
Tomlin: 8-10-12
Switzer: 10-12-12
Gibbs: 6-8-8(strike year 8-1)HOF
Third year coaches to win a Super Bowl:
Parcells HOF
Walsh HOF
Shanahan*
Shula* HOF (with Miami, reached NFL championship game in his 3rd year in Baltimore)
Vermeil*

Fox made it to the 2nd round his first year with denver
Harbaugh, made it to the NFC championship year 1 and SB year 2
