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!
This is only a test
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

Can’t wait until it’s over! I put ZERO stock into it and can’t stand listening everybody break down every aspect of the games. Nobody can tell me that the vets get up for or prepare for a preseason game like they would for a regular season game. But yet when I try to turn on the radio to get Bills updates I get slammed with the morons calling the talk shows *****ing over and over and over about how bad this guy looked or how they ran on our defense.
I’m not asking people to stop. I’m just hoping that the next 2 weeks go by fast.

technically 4 days...they play again on Thursday...
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
I have a feeling the game is going to suck...lots of Freddie Smith and Greg Zolman...
I'm giving serious thought to not even watching. And the thing is, some moron will call WGR on Friday *****ing that Sam Adams didn't look good because he missed a tackle. Idiots

I turned those losers off this morning...it was hysterical...Puff sounded as if they were going 3-13 or worse this year.

And it’s not like we played a bad team! If I did put an ounce of stock into preseason games, I’d say that we went on the road and played one of the toughest teams in the AFC and if we had even a shell of a kicker our starters would have been down 20-16 at halftime. But I don’t! I don’t care if we were winning 49-0 at halftime.

If the special teams would have played average it would have been closer early....

I think in very limited cases, like preseason, it's O.K.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I have to agree for the most part. Preseason is a valuable tool for getting ready but some fans just don't realize that the games don't count! We have to play as many people as possible to see what they can do...good or bad.
If there's one thing I've learned in my years watching football, it's that
P R E S E A S O N M E A N S N O T H I N G
How many times have teams had horrible preseasons and good seasons? (wasn't it that way during our SB years?) And vice versa?
It's simple logic -- the games don't count, therefore winning them is not a priority. That changes the whole game plan. I've seen teams run on 3rd-and-8, go for it on 4th-and-8, and so on. The purpose is 2-fold: 1. Evaluate new players and those fighting for jobs; 2. Just keep the vets in game shape. (oh, and 3. make local revenues). Many vets do not play 100%, and several teams don't unload their whole offensive arsenal. What we see now is not what we'll see when it's for real.
