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

Maybe the Bills need to leave Buffalo for it to...
Maybe the Bills need to leave Buffalo for it to...
... finally figure out that there is more to life than football. Perhaps that is exactly what happened with Cleveland and Baltimore. Both cities began their upswing after their NFL teams left them.
Almost like a wake up call to the people, politicians, and businesses.
Is it possible that the Bills need to leave in order for Buffalo to wake up and rebuild itself?
Re: Maybe the Bills need to leave Buffalo for it to...
A few things that you're overlooking:
1) The discussion is the Bills being moved to Toronto. The proximiity of Buffalo to Toronto is far too close and therefore would leave Buffalo forever jockeying for a new franchise, begging the NFL to bring football back to Buffalo. The NFL will obviously have its doubts and leave the city dangling until A) the local poulation increases and B) the local economy is equal to or greater than the middle income making teams in the NFL.
2) Expansion. Toronto gets a team without expanding the NFL. Buffalo would have to pray and hope that another team dies elsewhere, or if the NFL suddenly decided to expand for some unknown reason, they'd be forced to compete for an expansion team against cities like LA.

It sounds like it doesn't matter what happens, that city is ****ed.
Are you really just trying to annoy me with this crap? The city is rebounding. That isn't the problem. It will never rebound enough to compete with the Toronto's of the world.

That's been my whole point since we started this Buffalo vs. Larger Markets crap a few weeks ago.
Buffalo has BEEN rebounding but there's no way on gods green earth that it will rebound quick enough to have a chance to save the Bills unless Ralph sells before he dies. I hate to tell you but I have yet to read anything that indicates that Buffalo is making these epic jumps in economy or population. Hell, all I needed to know is what I heard at that hockey game from people who lived in Buffalo their whole life until it just got too hard to make an honest living.

You are basing your opinion on what a couple people told you at a hockey game?

More like 10+
They would know just as well as anyone having lived their their whole life up until a few years ago. Hell, there are people on this board that have echoed the same things that I was told by those people. You're actually the only person from Buffalo that seems to think that the economy is just skyrocketing, and I've met A LOT of people from Buffalo

They can move back to Buffalo after they fail in Toronto, just like they always fail in L.A.
Pride, you raise an interesting topic. I wonder how much relevancy this really has.
