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

The Bills hand the head coaching reigns to Mike Mularkey this year. In two of the three years that Mularkey was offensive coordinator with the Steelers, his offense ranked in the league's top five. That's a good thing, considering Buffalo's offense ranks in the league's bottom three.
1) The Bills finished a disappointing 6-10 last year. How many games will Buffalo win in 2004?
46.9% 7-8
41.2% 9 or more
10.2% 5-6
1.7% 4 or fewer
2) Who should the Bills have hired as their new head coach?
48.6% Mike Mularkey was the right choice
20.1% Jim Fassel
16.1% Charlie Weis
12.0% Romeo Crennel
3.2% Dick Jauron
3) Troy Vincent was signed as Antoine Winfield's replacement. Who should they have signed as his replacement?
65.2% Troy Vincent
15.2% Ahmed Plummer
13.5% Bobby Taylor
6.1% Fernando Bryant
4) Buffalo was a dismal 30th of 32 in offensive production last year. What's the key to improvement this season?
55.8% Better protection from the O-line
19.6% Quicker release by Drew Bledsoe
11.4% Contributions from rookie WR Lee Evans
7.0% Production from RB Willis McGahee
6.2% WR Josh Reed stepping up his game
5) After sitting out his entire rookie season with a knee injury, first-round pick Willis McGahee will make his NFL debut this season. What impact will he have?
36.0% He'll be a good change-of-pace back, but won't rush for more than 400 yards
34.8% He'll look good in mop-up duty, showing flashes of future greatness.
20.8% He will replace Travis Henry as the primary runner by the end of the season.
8.4% McGahee will not make a significant impact in Buffalo this year.
Given the options available for #4, I went with the winner, but I felt under a lot of constraint. I agree that the root of the problem was the offensive coaching staff. Look at what the new offensive coaching staff is about (based on comments made by Mularkey, McNally and others): 1 getting the offensive line to work better under the tutelage of Jim McNally. 2. Getting Drew to get rid of the ball faster. 3. Using the running backs more. 4. Freeing up Eric Moulds by getting defences to respect Evans and Reed. That pretty much covers the poll. The first three are directly related to coaching (the coaching that was deficient last season).
