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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Just on ESPN. Hasselback thinks we are on the right track with our defense and says the best change was defensive CoOrdinator.
Chris Carter has Buffalo as his team of choice to go from worst to first!
Nice to hear some positive talk
You've had 7 head coaches since 1998 (15 years), that's more or less a new HC every 2 years. That tells me the guy "picking" these coaches don't know what the heck he's doing, or doesn't know how to acquire the guys his coaches need to get the job done.
Promoting that guy to CEO, where he can't do anymore damage is a good sign. Bringing in a Steelers scout to be your GM, that's a good sign. Bringing in the guy who built the New Orleans Saints offense with Sean Peyton, that's a good sign. Bringing in a Jet/Steelers defensive guy to run your defense, that's a good sign.
But they've got to be patient & committed. If they tear this thing apart after two years, SOS, same ol Bills.

Prior to his Syracuse tenure, Marrone spent seven years in the NFL. From 2006 to 2008, he served as the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints after a four-year span as the offensive line coach of the New York Jets (2002 to 2005).
The Saints led the NFL in total offense and passing yards per game in 2006 (391.5 total yards/game and 281.4 passing yards/game) and 2008 (410.7 total yards/game and 311.1 passing yards/game).
In 2004, the Jets' offensive line paved the way for the league's third-best rushing offense (149.3 rushing yards/game) while tallying the second-most rushing first downs (135). Running back Curtis Martin led the NFL with 1,697 rushing yards and posted nine 100-yard games.
Then when you consider he left the Saints to be the HC of Syracuse... dude's got a solid resume. Probably the best new coach hire in the league, including Kelly & Reid.
Often times when the national media ranks the Bills poorly, or discusses their issues and lack of future many on this board respond by taking it as a personal slam against their team from know nothing analyst who are not to be taken seriously. However, when these same analysts say something positive, then all of the sudden they are taken both seriously and their comments are used as evidence of the Bills inevitable rise.

Thank probably true but intellectually dishonest. I have my opinion which is based on unbiased observation and as such it's pretty evident where things are headed.
It's a common psychological phenomena that during times of personal failure people blame external events however when those same events are happening to a stranger they blame that person's internal characteristics. You are doing the same thing with your football team.
In the end, it's all about internal characteristics and as a result, your opinion of the Cardinals or Seahawks might be far more accurate and unbiased than your opinion of the Bills.

Wow. What an original post. Nobody has ever pointed that out.

Who are you referring to? Russ Brandon? I didn't realize he was hiring our head coaches for the last 15 years. I always thought it was Ralph Wilson.
