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

“[The Seahawks] have an opportunity to do something that I dream about every night and that’s win a championship,” Winfield said. “…I don’t have too much time left. This is Year 15 for me so I’m trying to get it this year.”
Always thought he was a smart guy on top of being a very good player.
I've been dreaming of a Buffalo championship since I was 6 and started watching the Sabres I believe 1996, a year later when my father married my mother I became a huge Bills fan. Just to think I was almost a Giants fan! (yuck) lol. It was then at 7 I believe, that I could truly grasp why a Championship was so important to any team, and why it was so important to the fans. Here I sit today, I haven't had that feeling yet. None of you have either, this is why Buffalo fans are the greatest.. to stick with this team so long is amazing, Especially since watching our management manage the team, is like watching your neighbor host a meltdown in your neighborhood. But someday we will win it, and after craziest WNY party, and the one week cleanup in it's aftermath, the aftertaste will be that much sweeter...
Another of the many big mistakes by management by letting both Winfield and Clements leave.
Letting Winfield go was a big mistake...phat Pat Williams too. But Clements became the highest paid defensive player in history when he went to the 49ers, or something thereabouts. He wasn't all that.

You're 2/3 correct. Pat Williams played hard every 3rd or 4th play. It even drove the laid back Wade Phillips nuts. People lionize Pat Williams and criticize Marcel Dareus. I just don't get that. Williams was one of the laziest fat men ever to play the middle for Buffalo. Did he have talent? Sure he did. It was a matter of getting him to use it consistently. And the coaches couldn't. So they eventually moved on. I haven't shed a tear over his leaving. Winfield, yes, was a terrific loss. He was solid, if unspectacular.
How many years have you been dreaming of a Buffalo Championship?
Since right after our 2 AFL Championships in '63 and '64, and that's a long time.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Perfect summary of Winfield. I remember being excited for McGee as a rookie to take over. Winfield only seemed to develop hands once he got to Minnesota unfortunately.

I think the polorization of Dareus is because he was a 1st Round pick and expected to be great. Whereas Pat Williams was an undrafted guy who "buillt" himself into becoming a great player etc. As most love to cheer for the underdog and spit on the guy who fails to live up to expectations.
