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

I think there is a possibility we win this game BIG
Re: I think there is a possibility we win this game BIG
We're very good at beating .500 and below teams and we're at home so it's a likely win. Unfortunately you can't play losing teams every week. Will it matter if we win? No. The only thing it will serve is to lower us on the draft board and give Brandon more ammunition to try and sell out the remaining home games. "Look guys we're winning now! Buy some tickets!"

That's exactly what I'm saying. We can't win when it would help the team and keep us in the playoff race, but we'll win now, because all it will do is hurt our draft position and give them a reason to keep the 3 headed incompetence monster of Nix, Gailey and Fitz around.
It's a crapfest between two teams that aren't making the playoffs.
No matter who scores the most on Sunday, I would never refer to it as a "big win."
I meant big in terms of the margin of victory, not big in terms of importance. The only big win this team has had in the last 8 years was the win over NE last year, and they proceeded to piss that that away very quickly.
Not even sure I'll put the effort into listening to them on the go*damn radio in Syracuse...blacked out...who gives a *hit! Are you punishing me for not buying tickets to go watch a *hit team play another *hit team?
I'm going to watch it at the Clubhouse Race Book in Albany because I want to bet a few races. I would probably go anyway, since I went to a bar in Berkeley at 10AM PST last weekend to see the Indy game.
Re: I think there is a possibility we win this game BIG
100% correct. The Bills will probably reel off several wins against teams they should beat (who they'd lose to in meaningful games) to:
A) ruin draft selection
B) get fans' hopes up for a miracle playoff birth that won't happen
C) keep Chan Gailey and his patented "keep the ball out of our best play-makers" offense for 2013
D) allow Fitzmagic one more year to under/overthrow every person on the field other than Bills players
"Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."
Re: I think there is a possibility we win this game BIG
There are some things that favor the Bills winning. As far as doing damage to the the Bills long term by winning, I don't really buy it. I don't think this is a draft there there is a must have player that Buffalo's going to need to have the third or fourth spot in the draft. There is no consensus best QB, and there might be a QB in the second round who could ultimately help the Bills as much as a first round pick. Manti Te'o is the closest thing to a must have player, I don't know that even he would be that big a difference maker for the Bills.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
Re: I think there is a possibility we win this game BIG
I just need this game to be a fantasy orgy... especially for CJ and Jennings. As far as a win or a loss, I could make a case for being happy with either.

If you look at the players taken just before and just after us in the draft compared to who we took, it's disgusting. Now, the players picked after us means there's a good chance our FO will screw it up no matter where we end up.
But, more importantly, any wins from here on out make it that much harder for Nix, Gailey, Wannstadt and Fitz to get ****-canned. If you don't see that, I don't know what to tell you.
Re: I think there is a possibility we win this game BIG
Yup, nailed this one. And Hairston, Wood, McKelvin and Stevie all got hurt. Depending on how serious the injuries are, Gailey and Nix may have their excuse to skate by and get another year.

I hope you bet on this because of the good call, doesn't mean much past that.
Re: I think there is a possibility we win this game BIG
Its been said earlier, but I don't think a later pick necessarily hurts this team more than an earlier pick. Mike Williams anyone? Or what about JP Losing is an Art Loserman, or all the other gawd awful first round busts we've had in living memory? The draft is a crap shoot and the Bills havea knack for ****ing it up regardless of who is available. I am convinced this team could have had the ability to pick Peyton and would end up with Leaf.
