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

A television promo running in the Buffalo area shows Jim Kelly and J.P. Losman, both decked out in Bills jerseys, walking across a football field together.
The ad, a spot for Kelly's football camp, is a snapshot of Buffalo quarterbacks past and present: Kelly, the scrappy Hall of Famer, and Losman, who hopes to follow in the footsteps of the Bills' famous No. 12.

I think it's a great article and a great idea. Drew failed miserably to follow Kelly and I think in addition to his lack of skills, some of it had to do with his lack of swagger. Granted he played hard, etc....but he didn't exude confidence or the swagger of a true leader. Hopefully JP has this.
Some of my favorite lines in the article:
The Bills have been thrilled with the work ethic of the 2004 first-round pick out of Tulane. Losman, who broke his leg during training camp last summer, has pumped iron and reviewed tape at the team's headquarters since Feb. 8.
Asked what his biggest challenge will be, Losman didn't hesitate.
"Earning the respect of my teammates," he said. "It all starts with the team.
"I'm a confident guy. I've been a starting quarterback all my life but this is a different situation. It's the first time I have to lead a group of guys who are much older than I am."
Oh, and this is a gem:
"I never felt in my conversations with Drew that he would be comfortable here or anywhere as a backup," Donahoe said.
I knew he would never be a backup if he had the choice, and if forced it would have led to a problem. Now we know TD never had any intentions of keeping him here after '04. It's just a shame he didn't do this after '03 but what's done is done. JP is the man.
