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

Yes you're very likely right... OPIV predicted Indy would beat Buffalo 38-3 and he predicted Miami would beat Buffalo 24-13.. Someone on this site once said they would love it if OPIV was his bookie he would be a millionaire 10x over
And what is this short week and night game **** paranoia against the Jets.. Last year the Bills went into Metlife Stadium on a Thursday night game with 3 days rest and beat the Jets
So one night win overrides all the ****ty night game performances of the past? I'll believe this team can perform in night games the same way they perform in afternoon games when they prove it more than 1x.
And it's amazing how everyone remembers the games I got wrong but forgets about the dozens I've gotten right, despite everyone arguing with me.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. When all else fails, rely on the BZ mantra of using the exception to prove the rule.

someones getting desperate.
well if crappy performances of the past under a different coaching staff makes your argument, then we're going to 4 straight superbowls.

Lots of the guys who are still here were part of those ****ty night game performances and Red's sample size is too small to draw conclusions. I take the "I'll believe it when I see it" approach. They haven't earned the benefit of the doubt.
You conveniently neglected that those losses to the 49ers and Chargers were on consecutive WC road trips, and conveniently threw out the wins over the Ravens to make the teams look worse.
And you don't think the Jets will be motivated to beat their old coach and a div rival in their home opener on national TV?
Also, I'm not sure if being "motivated" is a good thing for a Rex Ryan team. It seems to mean the same thing as "playing on pure adrenaline and taking even more stupid penalties than usual."
The Ravens lost to the Browns at home, then traveled to the 49'ers, stayed there to play the Cards, and came home for the Chargers. Stop with the excuses there. And yeah I threw out the wins over the Ravens to show you how poor those teams were. But fine, if you think 12-36 helps your argument, knock yourself out.
If the Jets didn't have motivation to beat their old coach at home earlier in the season, much less with the playoffs on the line at the end of the season, why would anyone have any faith in them doing it when the season is just starting and both teams are in contention (or not out of contention if you prefer), and the Bills are at home? And the Bills were motivated to beat the Jets last year, and did.

they already swept the jets. you are not giving the bills the benefit of a doubt but you are giving the team they swept recently the benefit of a doubt? I always knew you got screwed with your college degree. You need to ask for a refund. You're not making sense .

You are under rating the Ravens but I'm not gonna argue the same points over and over. Just wait and see.
And the issue isn't faith in the Jets. I said this is the most likely in the first four games. But it's also the type of game that the Bills tend to lose. On paper they should win but I lack faith in them to not blow it.

Not taking the bet I see. Thought so
You're asking me to bet against the Bills in the only game in the first 4 I think they should win. I'm not going to bet against my own opinion.

If they suffered a load of injuries in the first half of the season, I'd be more inclined to believe you. But the only player of import they lost early was Suggs. If he alone was enough to derail that team during that first half, it doesn't bode well for them considering he's coming back from a torn achilles and likely will never be the same player again. And what of the Bills' numerous injuries last year? But yes, we'll have to agree to wait and see.

your opinion is that we would be lucky to beat them . Your words , not mine. If you want to admit you were just being dramatical in saying that then just admit it.

It's amazing to me that some Bills fans want to say that other teams looked bad because of injuries, and in the same breath say that Injuries on the Bills are just an excuse for not being successful.

I call that hypocrisy.
Injuries are a huge frustration though.
To be fair, I don't follow other teams enough to really know if our injuries are better or worse than theirs. But it seems like every year, we get killed by injuries. Different players, coaches, training staffs, FO's- but same results. There's no good explanation for it.
But, in terms of the Ravens, they are generally a good team that had a really off year due partially to an uncharacteristic number of injuries. That's not a very good comparison to a team like the Bills that perennially struggles and perennially has injuries.
The Bills have beat the Jets in 2 night games 2 straight years 2014 and 2015... November 24 2014 the Bills beat the Jets in Detroit 38-3 on a Monday night

But the jets were coached by Rex in 2014.that doesnt count.
The Bills record the last 4 years in night games is 3-3 middle of the road but not epically bad as OPIV seems to think and 3 wins destroys his "one time is the exception" notion
