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 team is NOT good enough to make the playoffs no matter what there is on paper or what OBD put in the Kool Aid. There needs to be some major changes made, including the firing of TD.
We need a real football guy directing football operations, not some high school english teacher.
TD's playoff record since being GM of the Pittsburgh '97 playoff team:
'98 (Pitt): 7-9. NO PLAYOFFS.
'99 (Pitt): 6-10. NO PLAYOFFS.
'01: 3-13. NO PLAYOFFS.
'02: 8-8. NO PLAYOFFS.
'03: 6-10. NO PLAYOFFS.
'04: 9-7. NO PLAYOFFS.
'05: 1-3. Take a guess....
I think we have the talent to make the playoffs. Problem is the WE are not making plays plain and simple. Te D is holding teams down, we cant score TD's and Pass the ball. I say give Holcmb a shot he at least has some experience. JP looks real bad, no confidence, and seems to be getting worse.
I honestly think TD has brought in the right players. The coaches have to put the right players in the right spot, and the players need to make plays. I think when a team performs like this for the 3rd game in a row you have plenty of fingers to point. All i am saying its not all TD's fault. How the F do you fall down over your own man McGee? How do we not keep feeding Willis the ball - he was running all over himself? How do we make Stallworth look like an All Pro? Where are Moulds and Evans? JP and Homcob neither one seems to be able to throw a decent pass. At this point behind this OL any QB is a sitting duck. Play calling is average at best. D gives up big plays on 3rd down. Offense cant convert a 3rd down. I am sure i missed many, so there is plenty of blame when you play like this.
Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills .... Bills Mafia for life

I hear you, but at some point you have to say "enough is enough". Regardless of who is doing what on the field, the GM is ultimately responsible for the team's success. The team failing means the GM is failing, so at some point you have to make THE change.
And that means firing TD. And to be honest I don't think I'll miss MM either, since outside of his good attitude he has not shown me anything to believe he can take this team anywhere.
Hey guys ive been coming to this site for about 3 years and last year i think i joined after one of the many painful loses. i havent really posted much i usually come to see what you guys say but after today i really feel like giving up. I mean i have tickets to go up to buffalo next week and its a pretty long trip for me which i make every year and i can honestly say this is the first year im not even looking forward to going. Ive been as optimistic as i can for the past years but the fact that the last playoff image i have is that tennessee game im about ready to give up and stop watching football this year. Maybe things will change, hopefully........
