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

I know that the Bills will need to win out and still probably get some help along the way, but for the next four games the Bills should be favorites to win. 5-6 would have been good, 6-5 and we would be in the driver's seat for the last Wildcard spot.
If you told me in August that the Bills would be playing relevant football come the first of December in Toronto I would have taken it.
It all depends on what you call relevant. Being 4-7 heading into that December games isn't anything to celebrate about. If that makes some people happy just because we're still on the bottom of the playoff screen and not mathematically eliminated after 11 games then they don't expect very much.
I'm thrilled with the victory today but the Bills came into today ranked 14th in the AFC. They are still two games in the loss column behind the Jets and they also need multiple teams to lose in front of them AND win out themselves.
The Bills have about as a good of an opportunity as a 4-7 team can have. They've got a bye to get completely healthy and some extra prep time for a four game stretch of very winnable games. I don't have any expectations for playoffs, but I'm at least excited to see if this team can put together a little run in December.
What a bunch of mediocre teams in the AFC after you get through the divisional leaders and the Chiefs. This is the type of season where 9-7 might take the WC straight up without any tiebreakers.
If only the Bills had a couple more wins(preferably against the Browns and Steelers) they would be tied for the last WC spot with either the Dolphins or Jets coming out of their bye week with a bunch of weak teams ahead of them. Another wasted opportunity this year.
Lets hope the Dolphins win since that would increase our chances to 5% instead of 3% of winning the WC spot. At least with the Dolphins we already beat them once and also play them again. They have a tougher schedule the rest of the year too and are currently 0-2 in the division. Then just hope to win the rest of them along with a bunch of other teams losing along the way.
Had we won the Browns and Steelers game we at least would've had the tiebreaker over them and had been 6-5. Hell 8-8 with the tiebreakers might win the last WC spot this season.

I was just looking back at the schedule thinking what if we didn't lose the close ones. Pats, Jets and Bengals we only lost by a combined 12 points. Another killer for me is what if EJ didn't take that hit and just kept building confidence. I know you can't live on "what if", but this season it is slightly more acceptable considering the basically all-new team. I think with another solid draft and and time under their belt with the schemes could push them into contention next season.
Rebuilding team and I'm fine with the present status.
I hoped to be headed in the right direction from the basement looking up and I can see this team being better than the Jets and Dolphins very soon. Another off-season needed. Jets have a really bad QB situation and Miami is a mile over the cap next year, with other major distractions currently taking them on a road to nowhere. Brady can't last forever in Pats country.
I like where Marrone is taking us.
