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

is there a difference between crazy old ralph running the team and russ brandon?
is there a difference between crazy old ralph running the team and russ brandon?
I honestly can't tell...and i'm not being a total jackass. I would have hoped that russ would have been slightly more with it than a guy who was 95 and checking out of day to day operations of his team. but this transition has been seamless.
have you honestly noticed a single difference between Russ's Bills and Ralph's Bills?
Re: is there a difference between crazy old ralph running the team and russ brandon?
About 50 years.
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?

Of course there's not.
There's a reason why Ralph put Russ in charge: he runs the team exactly how Ralph likes it run. The bottom dollar takes preference over winning, and when hiring coaches and FO people, the bottom dollar and the inner circle take preference over winning.
Ralph can trust Russ to put asses in seats without breaking the bank.
Re: is there a difference between crazy old ralph running the team and russ brandon?
its been one freakin season
the bills manage to land the #2 most coveted head coach candidate (behind chip kelly), the top new defensive coordinator (pettine), and the worst special teams coach in the league
ok that last one doesnt help my case as crossman has me jonesing for ronnie jones, but still the point is he did a good job getting two of the hottest new coaching names in the nfl to come here. realistic expectations for this season was probably five or six wins and thats where they will end up. tickets remain some of the lowest in the league, AND cheap old russ has been buying up the unsold tix lately so the games can be broadcast on local tv - a very shrewd bidness move that would have given ralph a coronary if russ ever did that while ralph still wore only a single diaper
it doesnt happen overnight. i think its very fair to say we have to give the russ brandenburgstein project a little more time to show positive results on the field
Re: is there a difference between crazy old ralph running the team and russ brandon?
you can hate how ralph meddled and ruined good things twice, but at least the guy wasn't a wet noodle about things. he desperately wanted to win, he just thought he knew best.
russ has no clue and just talks like a total politician. He has me wanting to say "it can't get worse". But thankfully the lesson i've learned through bills football is that "it always can get worse". And with the bills you can count on it.
Wait trapezeus doesnt like our front office?? newsflash!!
Since most bills fans seem happy to blame everyone but the guys at the top, i'll keep banging the drum on Brandon until he's gone. and i know, just like the rest of you, that he'll be here until ralph isn't part of the team. But the guy gets a free pass from so many bills fans its pathetic.
Re: is there a difference between crazy old ralph running the team and russ brandon?
No, not really any difference. After all Russ was hired by Ralph to run the show. This tells me that Ralph and Russ are of the same mindset -- do things as cheaply as possible, get dupes to buy tickets and overpriced merchandise -- and as such nothing will change until Ralph goes to his eternal reward and the team is sold. Of course, unless a business consortium mans up to keep the team in Buffalo Ralph's parting also probably means a relocation.
Re: is there a difference between crazy old ralph running the team and russ brandon?
I hope it's not true but it looks like Russ may not throw out big money to anyone. At least Ralph would get a wild hair up his backside and shell out huge coin every now and again.
