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

The fact that Morgan Stanley has had to actively recruit new bidders to the process — after extending its July 29 bid deadline — has alarmed and disappointed many in that realm of the financial world, sources indicate.
News that up to five new, finalist bidders might suddenly be in the mix was met with no small amount of skepticism.
“I don’t know if it’s real. We’re in weirdo world at this point,” said one informed source close to the Bills sale process.
“It’s all crap,” another charged flatly.
Adding to the skepticism, by late Thursday rumblings began to circulate that no management meeting took place on Thursday, because an unnamed “L.A. guy” never showed up.
So, thanks largely to those informative reports out of Buffalo, your Bills-sale scorecard looked like this by late Thursday night: Two known finalist bidders, one new bidder, one bidder in limbo (Bon Jovi/Toronto) and perhaps up to four additional, unknown bidders.

Got that?
That's a lot of unnamed sources for some hack sports writer from Toronto. He seems like he's suddenly well connected to the finance world.

It's not unrealistic to say that it's in weirdo world at the moment.
This whole thing lies between surreal and laughable at this point.
Seriously, we have an NFL team up for sale. Happens what, every 5-10 years? Why aren't there dozens of qualified investors fighting each other to try to buy them?

It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

I'm still laughing at this.
Just a thought but maybe because of the seemingly stringent Non Relocation clauses?
Who knows for sure but I could see that as a reason that would deter out of market buyers. With that said there are only so many buyers from this region.

And yet some delusional posters here will tell you that the Estate couldn't care less about relocation and are strictly out for the highest bid.

I think it is fairly obvious to anyone who is paying any attention to this process that they are not accepting bids from parties that don't have intent to keep the team here.

It seems obvious. I think one has to be acting in bad faith at this point to entertain other views.
