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

Meet the new Rex Ryan …same as the old Rex Ryan. When the former New York Jets coach took over for Doug Marrone as the head coach of the Buffalo Bills , it seemed almost too good to be true for the Bills' long-struggling fanbase...
So far this offseason, Ryan seems hellbent on rebuilding the Bills in the image of his former Jets teams, and while those teams had some success over the half-decade he was there, he left a trash heap of mediocrity at the Meadowlands when he departed.
Hugely wordy and in depth. I really like Ryan for being Rexfest, and really want this to work, but this is about as close to my pessimism as it comes.
Dunno folks, he's working real hard to make his Jets again. Says he learned a lot, so why remake the Jets >
Happenstance. The Bills already had a good defense and ST's when he took over. And in the absence of a franchise QB, the smartest thing to do is build up the running game.
The Jets signed a number of FA's to high priced short term contracts the first two years Rex was the Jets HC.
Then they did not replace those players like Revis with other GOOD players after they left.
That is the reason the Jets fell apart.
I read on a Jets board that Rex had a hand in drafting Richardson but that Idzik was responsible for the rest of that draft which was a terrible draft for the Jets.
Why do people assume Rex has final player/personnel say? I'm sure Whaley consults with Rex, but I doubt Rex has the power to veto anything Doug wants to do. The same in NY. I don't think Rex was the one refusing to provide any talent to the roster in his final few seasons there.
Ideally Whaley and Ryan will be on the same page re:player acquisitions. The last thing we need is another Mike Williams pissing match between the GM and HC.

But building up the running game means building up the OL, not going after flashy new toys. Over the past decade and a half, the Bills have had a lot of above average skill players at the WR and RB positions. It hasn't worked because we've never been able to keep a decent OL together.
