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!

What in the world is this silly drivel supposed to even mean????
Yet means ... later at another time ... hence not today.

Except for that to happen, it would mean that he would return to the Bills....and THEN be “fired”.
You do understand what it means to get “fired” from a job!?!? It means, first of all, that you are employed with that organization, and then, are forced to leave that employment against your will.
NONE of that happened concerning Frazier. And any speculation that it would happen "later at another time” is nonsensical to the point of being absurd.
Again, what you are saying makes zero sense.
The FACT is that Frazier decided to take this year off all on his own. Brandon Beane has made it quite clear that they expected him to the DC for 2023, and it was Frazier’s decision to take a year off.
Does not mean he will return to the Bills....as the speculation (no surprise) he really wants a HC position.
If you are attempting to **** on Frazier, this is a rather silly way to go about it.
If it’s true after 2023 Frazier has no contract then there is no use firing a non employee. Then he comes back without a fired blemish after this six year stint.

perfect solution for everyone.
Saving face?

It looks like McDermott wants to see some philosophical changes on the defense, maybe to be more aggressive, and it didn’t sit well with Frazier. To save face and not have an issue, they let him tender his resignation as opposed to being fired. Or maybe Frazier wasn’t “threatened”, if you will, and simply didn’t feel he was the right person to get this defense nasty. He is a really nice man.
Four months ago, Buffalo Bills fans were asking me about defensive coordinator candidates if Leslie Frazier left for a head coaching job.
This week, the Bills announced Frazier has decided to leave the team for 2023.
Much of the fan reaction was pathetic.
Fans feverishly celebrated the departure of a leader who is beloved by his players, who had a significant role in establishing an exemplary culture after nearly two decades of misery, who helped turn a laughingstock into a Super Bowl contender.
The attitude was predictable, however. My most recent mailbag was stuffed with questions and comments about firing Frazier, firing offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, firing head coach Sean McDermott, firing general manager Brandon Beane and firing just about everyone aside from the medical staff.
Frazier interviewed for three top NFL jobs last year, and now there’s a segment of Buffalo’s fan base glad he’s no longer anywhere near the staff.
As one of Frazier’s defensive assistants told me here at the NFL Scouting Combine, “It’s embarrassing anybody could get so pumped up about losing Coach Frazier. He’s a pillar.”
Sweeping changes aren’t coming to Buffalo’s defensive schemes, which have thrived for several years despite consecutive postseason collapses.
The Bills this week expressed little concern about making a smooth transition because there won’t be much of one.
While fans acted as though Frazier locked McDermott out of closed-door defensive meetings and unilaterally called blitzes and coverages without input, the Bills always have, in fact, deployed McDermott’s defensive desires.
That’s why the Bills still might not have staged a search for Frazier’s replacement even if he’d informed them of his plans immediately after the season. Maybe they would have interviewed Vic Fangio and Steve Wilks, but my sense is there would not have been a hot pursuit of anybody outside the organization.
more….
Mr. Graham is being kind when he describes the Bills “fans” as “fickle”. There are a lot more descriptive and accurate words that come to mind....but....the sensitivity of too many “fans” is just too fragile to cite them.
