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

Perhaps from the perspective of sports talking heads around the country there is no pressure on the Bills, but I think Bills mafia is hungry for the next step and will be putting psychological pressure on Terry Pegula to start making more significant changes (head coach and GM) if Buffalo doesn't go further in the playoffs this season.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Honestly, when you're right on the doorstep but can't knock down the door to get in, changing things up HC and GM is probably the right way to go.
After all he is the guy who is bringing in the talent so either the talent he's bringing in isn't good enough or your coaching staff cannot reach those guys who are brought in.
Which means you need someone different, with a different scouting department and pro personnel director to bring in talent.
And we can all be honest, Beane and his staff are absolutely horrible at evaluating collegian talent. If he didn't draft Allen he would have been out the door because pretty much everything else he's done during the draft has been abysmal during his time here.
I like this. No one has the Bills even making the Super Bowl. I guess playoff futility has created a “show me” attitude with all the talking heads.
the Bills are anywhere from 4th to 10th in league preseason power rankings. (The 10 is a guess with Acho having Buffalo as 7th in AFC behind Fins and Jets.
no mention at all about Josh and MVP in a sentence. We are basically good. That’s it.
I love this. Can’t wait.
- Josh is healthy. That elbow was more problematic.
- James Cook will get the nod but as of now the RB room is much more talented than start of last year.
- Sherrod , Harty, Rookie Shorter along with Shakir Davis and Diggs is a better WR group
- Kincaid is a weapon and hopefully an opposing teams problem
- the inside of the OLine got upgraded. The Irishman was a steal in The 2nd.
- DLine has serious competition. Prove it play from a few should be fun
- full strength Hyde Poyer Tre. Elam came in second half
- look for rotational LB play. Howard from the Rams is terrific in coverage.
- love the LB draft pick… Williams. One word “Instincts”.
- Dorsey is now less green
- I like McD calling the D
sure no massive FA signings but the ones made seem like smart moves.
oh Von is coming back. Some here think old… dude had 8.5 sacks . Who else had that many in a shortened season?
What you pay for and read is not what I’m talking about.
Cowherd has them 5. Joy Taylor, his former cohost, has a show. Emmanuel Acho had the Bills 7 th in the AFC some rando Vegas betting show had them at 5 in NFL.
this is a welcome precipitous plummet from last year.
Josh is either 2 or 3 in QB rank so something is giving everyone pause.
Pause away. I hated the preseason anointing.
LOL. Who cares? Who is Colin Cowherd? Answer: no one. No one knows how to take the Bills because of the changes that have occurred. They still have Allen so the sky is the limit. But if a Poyer or a Miller gets hurt again, poof.
The team peaked and became timid...reflecting McDermott...who has no "all in" drive whatever. Adequate has become the standard...and they assume it will work out.
This is not a championship team.
Defense was too timid, but I think the offense was too aggressive. Going for the homerun ball on consecutive downs when we were 2nd and short, and then again on 3rd and short. Plays that were too long to develop, etc...
Coaching and playcalling was as much of a factor in our crappy second half last season (basically starting in that second half vs. the Packers) as much as anything else.
Dorsey obviously needs to improve, taking the easy/high probability yards when there. And defense... just hoping McD can bring some of that magic he had when he was last DC. Frazier's crappy bend and dont break defense looks great against the non-playoff teams, but it's just free yards for teams with any above average QB.
Reading some of these sour puss posts (with incredibly lame suggestions on who to get rid and where “changes” need to be made) reminds me how ecstatic I am that the professionals running the Bills don’t listen to a word they say....nor should they.

Yeah...the professionals have us rolling in conference and league titles to defer to their expertise. That Bengals game was encouraging that we're on the right path. Hello ?

It’s really quite simple. Talented teams will always compete for the playoffs, especially when the talent disparity is so wide within their own division (other 3 AFCE teams have been mostly garbage since 2020). Come playoff time, just about every team is loaded with talent and the difference comes down to coaching and scheme.
Are you suggesting that coaching changes don’t/didn’t need to be made? If not, explain
