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

Re: Top 10 Hated Players of all time by Bills fans
I haven't "hated" a sports personality since I was eight years old and had a Bobby Orr Sports Illustrated Cover Dart Board.
It's a game...
Having said that, current and past NFL players I thought were dicks....
Odell
Richard Sherman
Mark Gastineau
Bryan Cox - (Duh!)
Chad Johnson - do I need to explain?
Conrad Dobler - yeah, he played for the Bills, but he was a dick.
Johnny Manziel - not enough playing time - but a dick for sure.
Cam Newton - Never did anything against Buffalo, but see Superbowl 50
Bill Romanowski - total dick
and I'd throw Marsha Brady in there for the other. I play hockey with a guy who went to High School with him, and I can say that all the cheating/arrogance insults directed at this guy seem to ring true.

10. Kevin Greene
Honorable Mention: Randy Cross, Cris Carter (Never hated until they became broadcasters)
Feelings about Brady or Belijerk would change rather quickly if they were on our team.
I hate it when people say that. If you feel that way then you're far too high on your pedestal and perhaps not passionate enough to get the pure, unadulterated fan hatred.
I for one absolutely DESPISE Tom Brady. I hope he gets hit by a train. Back and forth multiple times.
Re: Top 10 Hated Players of all time by Bills fans
On the other hand, I don't necessarily HATE Bills players for sucking. They probably did the best they could, it's not their fault they have no talent and the dumbass team drafted them anyway. Trent Edwards, Mike Williams, Maybin, JP, McCargo. They wanted to be good more than anyone else, but too bad they sucked. Sorry.
Guys that ran their mouths and act like an arrogant dickhead God's gift to mankind piss me off the most. Brady, Whitner, McGahee, Edlemann, Bruschi, OBJ, Cam.

Agreed. If the Bills had Brady, I would be happy with the level of play of course, but the petulance and constant whining to refs would be embarrassing and still rub me the wrong way. It's also ridiculous when people say that if you dislike Brady, you're just jealous of his life. Right, because he's obviously the first athlete ever to be rich and have a hot wife.

Re: Top 10 Hated Players of all time by Bills fans
For Bills it's Chris Watson, JP Losman and Leodis McKelvin.
Non Bills it's Brady, Edelman, & Javon Landry
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

I've read that Mike Williams underachieved. Not entirely his fault: his coaches didn't hold him accountable, the way they did with the other offensive linemen. If he'd had better coaching--coaches which didn't let him slack off--maybe with his ability he could have become something. Or, maybe he would have washed out anyway due to lack of innate passion.
It's possible--but by no means certain--that Maybin used steroids before the draft in an effort to bulk up without losing speed or that "quick first step." At some point after the draft, of course, you have to stop using steroids, in order to avoid getting caught. If true, this would mean that Maybin deliberately deceived the Bills into thinking he was a much better prospect than he was, so that he could get a big payday when he signed his rookie contract. I understand the temptation, and I think lots of people would engage in such behavior if by doing so they could be set for life financially.
I have no problem with Trent Edwards. But if I could change one thing about his personality, it would be to make him a little less . . . domesticated. A football player should have a wild animal streak in him. A wild animal must be strong, because its environment is harsh. The opposite of being a wild animal is to be domesticated, tame, weak, politically correct. There was a little too much of that tameness in Trent Edwards. But he seemed like a good guy, and I wanted him to succeed.
I just don't see how you can hate Losman. So he wasn't good, but he wasn't a dick about it. He tried REALLY hard, I'm sure. He wanted to be good more than we all did. And for sucking and disappointing the fans, he got canned and out of the league for it. Remember he was "all in"? Bought a house in downtown when nobody else did? Why the hate?
