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

Mario or Hughes. If you can only have one of them which one do you want?
I don't think Hughes has the success he is having without teams having to account for Mario.
Look at the first running play from today's game. Mario is lined up Wide 9 tech. He beats the TE, and gets the pulling OL to force Ridley to bounce the run upfield early and Bradham cleans up for a nice TFL. That's a play Mario made by himself but doesn't get credit for it. He's getting doubles and chips while Hughes is seeing one on one blocking.
Tons of credit to Jerry Hughes for making plays, but the hate Mario gets (solely due to his contract and not his play) is ridiculous.
COMING SOON...

Listen up mouth breathers. There's a couple of ways to look at this and only Mario can help us figure out what is real.
1.) Mario has found a home here in WNY where his peculiar personality has been left undisturbed and hence... the best is being brought out. The fall storm of 2014 was the final baptism of the shovel toting Williams and he is officially now a WNY'er and a Buffalo Bill!
or...
2.) Mario produced against a team who no longer has the will to punch anyone in the mouth. Rex Ryan was dead man walking before the season began. They've turned to a dog beater to lead them. If there's a more dysfunctional organization than the Bills, the Jets might be it. This is exactly the type of game that Fool's Gold produces his stats in. Meaningless.
so which is it?
there's 5 games left against some really good teams with less than stellar RTs. Mario, along with his $100 million contract, can put this team and our subsequent dreams on his shoulders by leading this team into our first playoff appearance in 14 years.
Only Mario can answer this.
Or are some garbage sacks against garbage teams enough to warrant making him the highest paid Bill in history?
Just admit you're lucky that breathing is an involuntary reflex.
Still fighting the fight even though the dude has a dozen sacks (and many more TFL). I admit that we need to see more of this down the stretch against some tougher competition, but the last thing I would call Mario right now is Fool's anything.
Your argument is pretty well tied to the contract that we gave Mario and the fact that he wasn't worth it, which is a fine stance to take. Whether a player is worth their contract can be a very subjective argument, unless the guy sucks or is playing lights out. You could argue either way with Mario, as proven by the fact that this thread is 30 pages long and still going. Since I know your opinion of Mario, I'll ask you a different question.
Taking that same stance about the price of obtaining a certain player, what's your opinion of Sammy? What would he have to do in order for you to consider him worth his price? Is he already worth it?
I know it's a little off topic, but I'd like to hear your view on Sammy compared to Mario. They are probably the 2 priciest acquisitions that the Bills have on their team right now.

I think Sammy is an elite talent... producing as a rookie... with a bad groin.
hes a great pick at 4.
we gave up a lot to get him. I believe it was a desperate move by Whaley driven by the timing of the ownership change and fear for his own job security. Russ Brandon supported it as a big splash move that's marketable.
the loss of the first and fourth round pick can perhaps be offset with smart free agent signings.
