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

Damn, we won't even get to see him announce his resignation tomorrow. That sucks. This whole thing smells more like a firing than a resignation. Why the hell would Mularkey already have left the city of Buffalo? This is pretty weird.

Bills | More about Mularkey resignation

Updating previous reports, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports former Buffalo Bills head coach Mike Mularkey cited family concerns as the reason he resigned Thursday, Jan. 12. Sources close to Mularkey said Thursday night, Jan. 12, that he has already left Buffalo. Owner Ralph Wilson and general manager Marv Levy were said to have been taken aback when Mularkey contacted them Wednesday, Jan. 11, and acknowledged he was mulling his resignation. Mularkey leaves the job with three years, at about $1 million annually, remaining on the five-year contract he signed in 2004. Sources said that, while family considerations played a large role in Mularkey's decision, his views on the future of the franchise were also a significant factor.

What's the point of a press conference, then?
I wouldn't be shocked if Levy announced that he himself was the new coach. Seriously.
Oh God. I liked Marv, but that would make me sick. It would definitely be more proof of Ralph trying to do it cheap again.
Marv Levy was a damn good coach, but he's 80 years old and has been out of the NFL for a long time. He wouldn't be able to handle those 18-hour work days either, IMO.
Re: ESPN says that Mike Mularkey already left Buffalo
MM is just a man making up excuses for a mess that he was a big part in creating. Go ahead Mike, keep making it look like the city of Buffalo is the bad guy and you are a victim.
You made stupid coaching choices. Alienated players. Tried to take Moulds money away for standing up to you. Played musical QB chairs to save you butt. Threw your fellow coaches under the bus. And now you are trying to throw Ralph Wilson, Marv Levy, and the ENTIRE CITY OF BUFFALO under the bus.
Never once did I hear him even utter the words, "I messed up." or, "I was wrong." or even, "I made a mistake." Never once did you take up the responsibility of being a head coach at the highest level.
I don't dislike Mularkey because of his 14-18 record or even because of his playcalling (although both certainly don't help my dislike of him). No, I dislike him because of the man's character. Of which, there is none.
Fans from other teams or in the dark ESPN viewers can slam on Buffalo all they want (and it is ridiculous to slam a city because of a sports team). Only the true Bills fans and the various people who actually follow the NFL know who the "big bad wolf" is.
I believe that what Bills fans truly want for a head coach is a man with INTEGRITY. Whether it's Gregg Williams blaming Travis Henry for an interception on a half back pass that should have never been selected or Mike Mularkey trying to please a GM instead of doing what is best for the team, both were wanted out because of a lack of integrity.
Here are three definitions for integrity:
1: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values :
INCORRUPTIBILITY
2: an unimpaired condition: SOUNDNESS
3: the quality or state of being complete or undivided: COMPLETENESS
Yes, Mike Mularkey, that strange, foreign I word is "Integrity." You can try to make this city look as bad as you want. At the end of the day, you have no integrity and that makes YOU the LOSER. Have a nice life.

Re: ESPN says that Mike Mularkey already left Buffalo
I just can't respect a guy that can't even resign professionally. He should have addressed the media like a real coach would have. Instead he tells Marv and Ralph that he's "mulling" over resigning, and then he just high tails it out of Buffalo, calling them on the road.
That's an act of cowardness, and his actions are the epidemy of his coaching career in Buffalo.
I don't like the "I'm going to take my ball and go home attitude". Is it any wonder why we had so many issues on the field this season? He lost this team the begining of this season, and was too lost himself to even realize it.
The good news is that this is a large wrinkle in his career, and it's going to have to take a pretty desperate team to take a chance on Mularkey again. He might get an OC job, but his days at HC are numbered for a while.
