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 Buffalo Bills will have a new quarterback this year.
The Buffalo Bills will have a new quarterback this year. Whether it will be Kevin Kolb or first-round draft pick E.J, Manuel remains to be seen.However, early impressions don’t seem to be favorable for Kolb.According to Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News, the first few days of camp for Kolb have left a lot to be desired.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
supposedly the D is throwing more at Kolb as compared to when EJ is in there as per Marrone. With that being said, I hope that EJ gets it soone than later. He is definitely more talented than Kolb.
Relaxes folks, I have peered into my crystal ball at the future, and it is good... Like early career donovan mcnabb, or roethlisberger minus the habitual rapings.
Kolb is terrible, so it isn't surprising he is struggling.
It is encouraging that Manual is showing some of the talent that they drafted him for and looking like he might have a chance. I know it is only training camp practices, but it is nice to see him show top athleticism and a big arm.
As much as I dislike the idea of Kolb as our starter, I hope he starts over Manuel for a good portion of this season.
Our OL took a step back and our WR's are inexperienced (outside of Stevie). And the whole squad is learning a new offense. That's a really BAD combination for a QB. I don't want to see Manuel get shell-shocked because he's running for his life and no WR's are open. A lot of potentially good QB's have been destroyed that way. People see guys like Luck or RGIII step in and start right away, but Manuel isn't on their level. He's going to need to be brought along more slowly than that.
Of course, the reality is that it probably won't matter because Kolb will be hurt before October anyway.
You're forgetting a rookie QB from last year who was very good and he wasn't a 1st Round pick.
Yeah well, different guy, different situation with the team.
The point is that we're not winning this year anyway, so we might as well be smart about bringing Manuel along slowly instead of throwing him to the wolves.

These are my thoughts as well except for the part about the WR's not getting open.
With CJ & Stevie & the speed of TJ, I expect the rookies will NOT be double covered. I expect the Bills WR's to be 7-11 OPEN.
This Bills team has WEAPONS on offense if Marrone decides to use them, which I expect him to do.
