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

Rumor: The San Diego Chargers Gave Doug Whaley A Phone Call About Trading For Rivers
The Bills don't really NEED their 2nd or 3rd round picks this year.
OMG the last 6 weeks you have wanted the Bills to use their 2nd Round pick on 5 different positions and now you're claiming they don't need there 2nd Round pick. Wasn't it yesterday you claimed you would feel way more secure if he Bills used their 2nd and 3rd Round pick on OTs.. Too funny
Why not? The weather? I honestly think that Philip Rivers could give a flying turd about the weather.
He wants to win a Super Bowl, and so do the Bills.
Why not get married?
No, from what he says it's about his kids and the atmosphere where they are living. He doesn't so much want to win a super bowl as have a happy family in a nice place because he's already loaded with cash. Buffalo does not shoot to the top of lists like that. Rivers has no driving passion for championships so much as he does for happy family, or he'd not care if they moved to supposedly football starved LA where he might have his cake and eat it too.
Sweet southern cities can give him the same money with better climate and happier atmosphere and he'd have a gentle pleasing commute to the stadium.

I'll tell you, Mace, as far fetched as this story sounds, there's a wildcard that might actually make Buffalo appealing to Rivers.
Strange as this sounds, it's possible that Buffalo is the most Catholic city in America. Do not underestimate the value of that in Rivers' eyes.
His mother's sister is a client of mine, and a friend. There's a lot here that he would value that others might not. He's a very unusual guy, and this is a great place to raise kids (provided you have money).
He has family and business interests in Raleigh. Carolina has a young QB, so it's an unlikely landing spot. Washington might work for him, but if he hates LA, he would detest DC. Same for NYC (well, New Jersey) Cleveland might be a possibility, if the Bradford deal blows up with Philly. Baltimore? Doubtful.
I know it's a longshot, and it pisses me off to no end that Whaley fuct us with the Watkins deal, but we can dream, right? It's what we do here.
Re: Rumor: The San Diego Chargers Gave Doug Whaley A Phone Call About Trading For Riv
I don't know why he would have to uproot his family at all if the team moved to Los Angeles. The proposed site in Carson is less than 100 miles from his house. If the team HQ was in Orange County (which seems likely), he could live nearby and it would easily be close enough for him to head home on off days. It's not like most NFL players see their family all that frequently during the season anyway.
Even if the stars lined up, there's no chance whatever Rivers would want to end his career in Buffalo. Los Angeles makes him cranky, which makes him a one year rental for any team where he doesn't want to be. And a hugely expensive one we can't afford anyway.
What's your reason for thinking he wouldn't want to play for a team that has the most passionate fans in the league?

Did he tell you this himself? Do you have proof of this? I know he cares very much about his family but have never heard such things.

I looked this up just because it was an interesting comment that piqued my curiosity, but New Orleans, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Denver, St Louis and Chicago allegedly are 'top ten' Catholic and have NFL teams.
Re: Rumor: The San Diego Chargers Gave Doug Whaley A Phone Call About Trading For Riv
No way the Chargers are giving away Rivers without getting a shot at Mariotta. They are going to play this year with no starting QB?
For fun, and not to entertain this ridiculous thread, maybe you could do a three way trade that sends Dareus to The Titans, Mariotta to Sam Diego and Rivers here.
If you trade for a guy like rivers, you tailor the offense to him and not the other way around.
That said, I don't see this happening. Why wouldSan Diego unload him without a qb coming back?
Some of the projections have Mariota going anywhere from 2-6. San Diego would only need to move up 11 picks (assuming he falls to #6) and if they gave their #17 pick and their 2016 1st they could get up to take Mariota. I would imagine any trade for Rivers that involved us would involve our 2016 1st going to SD at a minimum. That just me speculating at how it would work.
COMING SOON...

Interestingly, that article doesn't point out the portion of the population of each city which identifies as Catholic. I would have to think that Buffalo (well, WNY anyway) would rank at least top 5 in that category.

According to this chart from citydata.com, 74% of WNYers are affiliated with a religious congregation, and of those, 77% identify as Catholic. That's a pretty overwhelming number which I doubt is matched by any of the other cities on that "Top Ten" list.
Re: Rumor: The San Diego Chargers Gave Doug Whaley A Phone Call About Trading For Riv
This team is poised to contend for playoffs as is. This years draft just might get us two starters. Imho
I think trading enough picks to move up far enough to get Mariota and then trade that pick to the Chargers for Rivers is a good deal. We can use the money set aside to sign the new draftees on Rivers contract. We won't have to trade Marcell this year.
Rivers just doesn't get us to the playoffs he will make us Superbowl contenders.
