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

whaley essentially gets graded at the end of this season. his offensive weakness has been masked by good defense. so he gets credit for one and gets hit for the other.
the miss on QB isn't entirely his fault. it was a bad class that they had to go into. and they sidestepped the land mine that was geno smith.
if they aren't better at the end of this year, the team is sadly at a point of being dismantled. lots of expensive contracts and if the production isn't there, then they actually have to get to the bottom to be able to draft a QB that is ready down.
Lol, he's supposed to be "held accountable" a few days after the draft? Those knee-jerk ass-wipes online are the measuring stick?
HELP! HELP!
This is only Whaley's second draft as GM. After his first draft, the Bills had their first winning season in like ten years.
You can just as easily ask when does Whaley get some credit.
You are an idiot if you don't give these things some time. This year will tell us a lot, but this team has gone nowhere but up since Whaley became GM. I don't think that's very disputable, either.
It's so ****ing funny to see one of the self-proclaimed voices of reason give credit to Whaley for 9-7 over the head coach. It's the easy (and stupid perhaps) pov to take swings at the ex-head coach. MAYBE he was the one who knew what he was doing and everyone else was clueless. Namely Whaley. YOU don't know. Schwartz was quiet on the topic. If the Bills don't reach 9-7 then some of you idiots have a lot of back-pedaling to do.
Marrone actually coached the players.
Whaley gave you EJ Manuel (failure), Kuoandijo (failure), Richardson (failure), and sold the farm to give you Watkins. If he's not at least suspect as GM, then you don't have a clue.

Well. Whaley & Schwartz had MUCH more to do with 9-7 than Marrone did.
I think the football world agrees with that since the best job Marrone could get was OL coach of the Jags, maybe the worst run team in the NFL.
After the first game is played, a team can sign Mike without worrying about any guaranteed money.
I think teams are worried about Williams behavior, not his ability to play.
We just signed a guy that was suspended basically a year for bullying his team-mate and Greg Hardy was signed after choke slamming his girl on a pile of guns. If he was good, he would have a contract.
Well, I'll toss my thought out here....they wouldn't have been thinking about handing over the keys to a "czar" if they had faith in their young, well prepped GM. I think Whaley was near gone too and his saving grace was being willing to cater to Ryan's plan.
In any case Whaley should be accountable after this year. If he's a useful arm of Ryan and it works, great. If it doesn't work, he's either a tool of the marquee head coach, or a not good enough GM.
There's something to be said for the perfect marriage of GM and HC, when one is the driving force and the other complements it. I don't have a clue if this is one yet, but Pegulas won't shuck their brand new shiny Ryan over Whaley if it doesn't work well.
