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

Tyrod sucks as a quarterback. Hopefully the Bills can find a good white pocket passing quarterback in the draft.
The color of the skin or ethnic background means nothing to me. All I want is a guy who can make anticipation throws, throw the whole field, can make quick decisions, and learns from mistakes.
We're 8-1 when Tyrod throws for less than 215 yards.
We're not, though. We might be in the future, but not today.
That's an interesting stat, which I hadn't previously been aware of. To me, a stat like that says that this team is built to run the ball and win with defense. Okay, fine. Nothing wrong with being built like that.
But there will be times when the running game will be quiet. Times when the defense gives up more points than it should. When stuff like that happens, you need a good passing game. A much better passing game, in fact, than Tyrod seems able to provide.
If Ryan can mimic his defensive accomplishments with the Jets, the Bills should win some games here and there. If we can have more big days from Tyrod the RB, or from our other RBs, then that should also help get a few wins. But it's not like we're ever going to come close to matching the defensive accomplishments of the Ravens of 2000 or anything. And the better teams will find a way to contain our running game, much like the Ravens did in week 1. So at the end of the season, you're looking at maybe enough wins for the coaching staff and front office to hold onto their jobs for another year. Enough wins to spoil the Bills' draft position. Enough wins to create the false impression that the Bills are actually going somewhere, building something.
The Bills haven't been to the playoffs in almost 20 years. During that drought, they've organically obtained a top-5 pick only twice: once for Mike Williams, a second time for Dareus. (Sammy Watkins was also a top-5 pick. But that pick was acquired via trade, not by losing enough games to get a top-5 pick.) The Bills are once again pursuing a strategy which gives them an excellent chance of staying out of the top 5 picks on draft day, without giving them a realistic chance of winning a playoff game. Let alone the Super Bowl.
