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

Supposed to be automatically reviewed, in New York. Maybe we should send all the prostitutes directly to Jack the Ripper for night inspections, what could go wrong ?
Refs were not the reason we lost that game. We can complain about the refs all we want, but the thing is if you need to rely on refs to win youre usually not going to anyways.
Bills need to control what they can control and the rest will fall into place

Like the 2 TD's the refs took from the Bills and gave 2 to the Giants ?? You do have a visual on this correct? It was a scoring play that needs to be reviewed, from start to finish. Think this was missed on a 3rd down ? You can't play 2 teams on Sunday, refs / opponents.

Holding was the right call. I will say the chop block was iffy, but still you really want to blame the refs when incognito was stupid enough to try to take out the legs of another player thats 100% locked up and blocked?
Are you talking about the FG that the Bills got called for as one of the given touchdowns? Because that was 150% a penalty, sure maybe the ref should have warned him and tried to move him first, but do you seriously want to blame the damn refs for Kyle Williams not knowing you cant cover up the center on a Field goal? I've played football 8 years (high school and low level college) and I find it hard to believe that someone who's started in the NFL as long as I played my whole career doesnt know that rule.
The NFL does not have a vendetta against Buffalo. The Refs do not have a vendetta against Buffalo. Are we on a shorter leash than some teams when it comes to personal fouls? Absolutely, but thats not because the league hates us, its because Rex ALLOWS it to go on and cant control his team.
The reffing in the NFL this year has been horrendous. And I mean the whole league, not just against Buffalo. You cant honestly look at a team who is on pace to rack up the most penalties in NFL history and has DOUBLE the personal fouls of any other team and decide that it all must be the refs fault.
Im not arguing that this should have been reviewed, and probably should have been taken away. Even if this was a third down by the time he stepped out in this picture he still had the first down. All this would have done is let the Giants take even more time off the clock before scoring.
you got it backwards. that chop block was not iffy. that chop block was the very definition of a "chop block". if you don't call that, then there is no point to the penalty. the holding was the worst form of BS i've seen in a while. every down against the giants someone on the bills dline was getting held far worse and it was almost never called.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

The only reason I said iffy was because the "textbook definition" of a chop block says the contact has to be lower than what he did. But I do agree that it should have been called. The holding wasnt called because it was so egregious it was more because of the location of it, theres a huge difference between holding someone at the line of scrimmage and holding someone way back there behind the line and directly in front of the ref.

Bills played a poor game and like BuffaloRedleg says you can lose for more than one reason.
This past Sunday enemy No. was the Bills themselves with poor play and even poorer discipline.
With that said there is zero, none, nothing, nada doubt that the NFL referees affected the outcome unfavorably for us. This is not debatable. Forget the hold and the chop penalties which are indeed arguable. This play right here should not have been a td and it was. Boom 7 points off the board. Its that simple.
So while we didn't loose exclusively because of the zebras they sure had their share of blame in our demise.
The refs were horrible. Add in the fact that the Giants were taking liberties like, I don't know, punching players, which is automatic ejection, and it's no wonder they lost. But that's why people are starting to say that the NFL is becoming unwatchable because it looks crooked. They better do something soon about this.
I'm with you. It just seems like some people lean on the refs saying thats the only we lost. It a reason, not the whole one.
But I think everyone can agree that NFL reffing has been god-awful this season and something needs to be done
Yeah no doubt about that, and especially as a person who has season tickets this drives me absolutely batty.
I just want to make sure we don't let the NFL off the hook with this. We have all these things like challenges and booth reviews and whatever that slow down the flow of a game to an absolute crawl, I want something to show for it. Right now, all the crap they do to get things right is not only not increasing anyone's perception that the games are being accurately refereed AND make the game borderline unwatchable at times.
Now this garbage has poisoned hockey, for those who watched the game last night.
