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

Do you think the Bills need to first make the playoffs and get that experience, coupled with a year of playing with the new coaching staff, before they can legitimately contend for a championship or can they legitimately contend in 2015?
Obviously they need to sort out the QB position and the right side of the offensive line.
It would be more pertinent to consider the timeline to the first "Can we get Marrone back?" thread. Mark it down.
That will come within minutes of the first time we lose a game this season so possibly as early as week 1. We are a ficky bunch of whiners and weiners.

We'll have to endure 100 more 'Rex is a loser' threads before we even play our 1st game, so at least we have something to look forward too.
IMO the hiring of Ryan and subsequent fallout has set the time table for making the playoffs back a season, maybe two. Once a team gets there, anything can happen. If things had played out a little differently over the past week, and Jackson, Schwartz, Kubiak etc had been hired as head coach and almost everything on the defensive side of the ball had remained intact, I'd be pretty confident about finally making the post season in '15. The offense regressed from '14-'15, so essentially the difference between 6-10 and 9-7 was improved play of the special teams and defense...that basically accounted for the extra three wins, maybe even more. Reverting to a Ryan/Pettine style defense with this roster is probably going to induce a little bit of a slide back on that side of the ball, hopefully some improvement on offense can counter that, but I'm not too confident the difference will be more than negligible. I'm expecting another six to nine win season in '15, anything more than that is going to have to wait until improvements are made on both sides of the ball now.
