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!
Re: There is a 'hire Sherman' Rally at OBD at 10 am
I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand, I think it makes a strong statement that the fans do not want Jauron or Haslett (and that people in Buffalo have way too much spare time).
On the other hand, Marv is a football professional and the fans are not. If he honestly thinks someone other than Sherman is the best man for the job, I'd hate to see him buckle under the pressure. Fans in Buffalo are, for the most part, very knowledgable about football, but we're still just fans.
Of course, if he hires Jauron it will wreak of the "good ole boy" network again. MM got the job cuz of his Pitt connections with TD and I don't want to see that mistake again.

The fans know more about football than you give us credit for. Often times we can see things more objectively than those inside the circle.
We wanted Takeo.
We wanted Sam Adams.
We wanted Marvin Lewis.
We didn't want to let go of Pat Williams.
We were concerned about the hiring of TD, GW, and MM.
All those things turned out to be good foresight, going to show we know what we want.
Re: There is a 'hire Sherman' Rally at OBD at 10 am
Marv has to be concerned about two things. Putting a good product on the field and putting people in the seats. How in the world will hiring Jauron help do either? At least hiring Sherman you get a proven winner and someone the fans want so it will help ticket sales.
Re: There is a 'hire Sherman' Rally at OBD at 10 am
I agree somewhat with Don. Ralph wilson has a TON to do in regards to this fanbase. Jauron won't sell tickets. In fact I wouldn't doubt there was a protest rally after jauron is hired outside OBD.
Look they need to wake up and understand the fans are much smarter and much more in touch with the workings of the NFL These days. Sherman is a WINNER. jauron is NOT!
If you want to sell this fanbase that you are doing 'Everything we can' to turn this thing around, you better hire sherman and we better hear by monday Bates is our DC. That is a HUGE start.
Other than Marv and Ralph 'Like' Jauron, he never should have even had an interview. if they were serious about this, it would have been Payton, Haslett and Sherman and a minority candidate and been done with it.
