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!
Steelers won with running and D. The Pats had a passing attack that relied on a lot of quick slants and screens.
Our passing attack relies on the deep ball, which is very much affected by the weather, and we have virtually no run game. Teams can win in outdoor stadiums if they are constructed correctly. Currently, we are not.
No one is going to plan a stadium around the current play strengths of your offense.
That's dumb.

Stop relying on what doesn’t work. It’s more cost effective.
I agree with imbondz, fix the offense and all is well. Again, Cincinnati had NO trouble moving the ball on the ground or through the air.
Hear something I heard in an interview with Burrow yesterday. He was asked about playing in the snow. He said snow has no effect on the ball or what we do as you saw Sunday, rain and strong winds affect it more but you can adjust. He’s also said anytime the weather is bad they practice outside so it’s not a big deal on game day. I don’t know what the Bills do, but it seems like they practice inside that beautiful practice field a lot.
Exactly.
The glaring problem with the Bills this season was offense....not defense. Scoring 10 points is ANY game, much less a divisional playoff game, is simply unacceptable.
Jesus.....those measly 10 points were the second lowest in the playoffs this year. Only worse was NY Giants, that are not anywhere close to a team with a heralded “dynamic offense” with an elite QB like the Bills supposedly have.
Every one of the four losses this season were because of the shortcomings, inconsistency and NON-DYNAMIC OFFENSE. Pure and glaringly simple.
What almost everyone thought was their biggest strength turns out the opposite. It starts with the O-line but almost every offensive position group need improvement.
Especially (again, what almost everyone thought was a strength coming into the year) WR. We do NOT have a viable or reliable #2 WR.
We do NOT have a viable or reliable slot receiver.
We do NOT have viable or reliable depth at WR.
We do NOT have a dangerous TE, (Knox is slightly above average) and no depth.
We do NOT have variable or reliable every down RB.
We DO have an elite QB. Gotta get some real weapons around him.

Having a dome or not is totally irrelevant.
It's relevant.
The weather fubared our ability get to Burrows, along with our effort.
Down the stretch I was thinking get to the SuperBowl and get “One for the Thumb” in losses . That would be more devastating than not getting there IMO
With Mahomes gimpy, we would have had a shot at KC, but clearly we aren't on Cincy's level. My concern was getting to the SB and losing to the Eagles, and then there would be an entire division with a SB win against us.
Re: Bills new stadium framework unanimously approved
Here's what we SHOULD be talking about re the new stadium:
1. If the Bills decide to up and leave, they would have an EASIER time abandoning the stadium than any other team in recent memory who has built a new stadium with public money. Once the Bills reach the halfway point of their 30 year lease, the financial penalties start to decrease. With the other teams(SF, Minnesota, Las Vegas and Atlanta)they have to stay put for 23-30 years.
2. There's no option to extend the lease past the 30 or 40-year mark.
3. In Las Vegas, the stadium authority has veto power over ANY attempt to move the Raiders out of town....and if the team is sold, the new owner must honor the lease. (And SPEAKING of owners, I have to wonder why the Bills has no plan of succession in place, considering that A. Terry Pegula is 71 and B. Kim Pegula has been MIA since she was hospitalized months ago. The state and Erie County seem to be banking on a judge stopping the Bills from moving out of town...never mind, of course, that this has never happened.)
The taxpayers AND the fans of the Bills deserve better than what we're getting so far.
Investigative Post did a story last week on the lease. Take the time to go read it.
