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

Rob Chudzinski yesteday.
Leslie Frazier, Mike Shannahan, Greg Schiano and Jim Schwartz today.
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.
Lovie Smith is already being rumored for the Lions job, Ken Whisenhunt for the Houston job.

I don't know if we'll see quick signings a) because of the Rooney Rule, b) because of the playoffs, and c) because teams will probably go after Cowher and Gruden.
I have a suspicion that todays Bills presser will roll some heads too...
Marrone said on 12/27 on WGR that he doesn't need an evaluation that on the plane back from NE he's on to 2014. Implied that changes will be made and possibly right away.
We may see several assitants cut today and even a few player cuts wouldn't surprise me. I think we may also hear that the Bills have no intention to re-sign Byrd.

All just my speculation.
ST coach should go but he's Marrones buddy so I doubt it. I wouldn't mind seeing Hackett go but highly unlikely. What other assistants deserve to go? Also wouldn't any announcement like that about Byrd hurt their tag and trade value?
I think Pettine cost himself a job yesterday, he'll be back. Gruden is out he re-upped with ESPN and he's in beer ads.

I caught a bit of the Cleveland presser...that was brutal on multiple fronts.
The questions were brutal, even quoting fans from the Browns facebook page.
I think the answers were worse. "Trust us". "We'll stand on our track record" "Other teams have won with lesser QB's".
Eh the lesser QB point is somewhat true...the Bills won 6 games with equal or worse QBing than the Browns.
There's more to the Chud firing than just those three answers though from what I've seen, read and heard.
He didn't hold players accountable, his team packed it up in the 2nd half of many games over the last 7 in the losing streak. The Jags game, the Pats game, the Jets game, the Bengals game and then they just completely failed to show up against the Steelers. He was told by management to bench or release Greg Little or Shawn Lavuao - did neither.
It's a firing that screams that they settled on the guy even though they didn't really want him after the Chip Kelly fiasco and that he did nothing over the course of the year to win them over.
