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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Stupid Bills Fans need someone to blame so why not the Marketing guy.
This is like blaming Ronald McDonald for your overweight problem.
no it isn't. The marketing guy helped sell Rex to the ownership as well as idiotic moves like TO in order to drum up fan support to boost ticket sales. If you don't see the correlation with the marketing guy with his hands in the football part then i don't know what to tell you

And then there are the stupid Bills Fans who believe Russ is just a "marketing guy".
Marketing guys aren't involved in the selection of the head coach of a football team. I really can't believe this needs to be explained.
Well..in this case, they are.
The Jets used Ron Wolf to find their new coach, the Bills used "the Marketing Guy".
And while the Marketing Guy wasn't turning over the stones he promised 4 years ago, maybe the Marketing Guy should have looked into why Rex was fired in 2014 and why the Jets were considered a dysfunctional mess when he was. And maybe he should have considered why genuine football people like Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf didn't push for his retention.
Brandon is an enigma to me. He does a great job with the business end, one has to acknowledge that unless you're in the 'anybody can market an NFL team' camp. He did a ****ty job as GM, when he was all in on the personnel side. It wreaks of his publicity whore personality when we sign TO, hire Wrecks, etc, and moves like that are simply unforgivable. However, like it or not, when he was owner pro temp for the last few years of Ralph's life before he passed, he had his hands on the building of a team that featured a dominant defense, a really solid special teams, and was simply an adequate QB and an offensive linemen or two away from being a serious contender.
I'm not in the Brandon-Hater category necessarily, but it really is time to remove him from the football team and at least give the perception they are heading in a different direction.

Only quoting the pertinent part as I agree that Brandon is not the issue as well but in a way it's time to move on for him and everyone in the front office to at least show that the franchise is going in a different direction.
Somebody explain what Russ Brandon actually does...
What's his job?
He's the president. The President of the Seattle Seahawks, Peter McLoughlin, worked for Anheuser-Busch for 21 years. I don't see anyone hoisting THAT guy on their shoulders for the Seahawk's success on the field. Why? Because he's the president. See the job description.
I'm no fan of Brandon, and I'm not defending him really, because there is no need to. But he's not to blame just because he's been a part of this organization for a while, fellas. Taking that slant is just lazy thinking. If he stays or goes, it won't chance the product on the field.
Well I tell you one thing, he is nowhere near as good as that Guy that Bellichick has that is so mysterious that people cannot figure out was his job is.

There was a report that Rex was pressured by upper management to make a big move to appease angry Bills fans. That sounds like a marketing ploy. Now, I think Brandon is the best at what he does (sell mediocrity), but, when you have your marketing guy as President of your team, it makes me question what really is important to you.

Sporting News has learned that Buffalo’s front office leaned on head coach Rex Ryan to make a significant change in hopes of appeasing a disgruntled fan base.
