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

Talent-wise on paper we should be at KC's class or BETTER. Our QB is at least equal to KC's. Our RB is a Pro Bowler too. Our receivers are better, except for their all-world TE. Our oline was supposed to be gelling this year. Our D was rebuilt to be a ball-hawking aggressive D that KC's is. Anything less than what KC is achieving is unacceptable in light of the Bills' player talent.
This team is underachieving in a big way at all levels except the punting game.
Any words from management to excuse or condone the clear disappointment we all saw last night is unacceptable from a paying fan's perspective.
Argue like hell. Keep it clean. And when it's over, shake hands and root for our team!
That's bull****. As fans we can complain and yell all we want but the owner coming out with "...we're not in their class.."? I know people say things to motivate but the timing was off if that's the case. If it's an "in the moment" comment, I understand but things are real bad if the owner's throwing in the towel. I said from day one that GW should be given a full 3 years in all fairness but I'm now on board with firing him and Gilbride today. There's way too much talent on the team to suck like this. Yes, there are holes but they're collectively playing poorly. The OL's pass blocking was as bad as I've seen and the QB's were as bad as I've seen.....not a good combo. Run blocking was obviously good. TH and Gash both played well. Oh yeah, Moorman's still our best player. Things could've been worse without him. Play calling was questionable again. There's too much talent. At some point coaches have to properly utilize talent and NOT be a "sytem" coach. I don't think Dallas is good but Parcell's has them overachieving. He's using a different system than he has in the past. Joe Gibbs won 3 SB's with 3 different QB's and Theisman was a completely different style from the other two. Also, the Skins were power football but don't forget that he was the OC in San Diego who ran "Air Coriell"(sp?). KG has a system and doesn't adjust it to fit the strengths of his team. He instead exposes weaknesses. I'm so pissed right now.
While I don't agree with what Wilson had to say to the team, I do kinda agree with him. Kansas City is a better team. The Bills can look great on paper, but that doesn't mean jack when they take the field. I think a lot of their problems has to do with coaches, but I blame the players too. They just don't have any heart and it looks like no one on the team gives a damn! I don't care if they like or dislike the coaches. Play for yourselves! Screw the coaches!
As far as firing any of the coaches half way through the season, I just don't see that happening. The Bills are stuck with what they've got until the end of their season. With that being said, I think the players should get their act together and start playing up to their potential. Regardless of what the coaches are doing, I still don't see the players playing up to what they're supposedly worth!
There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
The only answer I found for all this hurt
Is there ain't not answer here on earth
If season tickets head south next year, there will be a lot of people bewailing the possible loss of the Bills to the Los Angeles market.
KC is a better coached team than the Bills. They had a 7-0 record before Sunday night. For the Bills to win that one, it would have taken a miracle.
IMHO the Bills are a couple of seasons away from gelling into a team. It takes the coaching staff and the players to get together. Right now, the coaching staff doesn't mesh well; IMHO, I think that is obvious from the way the pieces of the offense don't work together. The defense isn't as bad because GW, JG, and SJ have worked together before. So at least there is some continuity there. Even at the end of last year you could see it starting to work out.
But on the offense, there was been major change in strategy last year and wholesale changes in coaches this year. And I don't think that KG, LS, PR have ever worked together before. There won't be a quick fix to this. Even if you cleaned house and brought in a tight team of coaches; the players still need to get on board with the changes. It worked in Dallas, because BP brought in people that knew how to coach; and could coach to win.
Its sad when the owner says we lost to a better team. Many teams with excellant coaching can when games with inferior talent (i.e. Dallas). Man for man I really do not see a big difference in talent except Hall vs Wright who seems to fall down if the opposition sneezes on him. The big difference is KC played as a team and Buffalo looked lost out there...
