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

So Bills basically got Diggs for 4 years for 21st pick and will get back anywhere from 33-40th pick.
Great job BBB.
That two will be very close to a 1.
“It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”
"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.
While Beane said during his Wednesday press conference that he hadn’t spoken to Allen since the trade was finalized, the G.M. had given his quarterback a heads up that Diggs could get moved.
“I did alert [Allen] that there had been some inquiries and it wasn’t 100 percent off the table,” Beane said, via the team’s website. “Josh and I have a pretty regular conversation on things and I think it’s important for me to make sure if I think something could happen to make sure he’s not blindsided,”
Beane added that he plans to touch base with Allen soon.

Uh I didn't talk about you talking about the replacement part because I agree with you 100% that we are weaker at the moment without Diggs . I am simply stating that it's not as if Diggs was a huge factor when we play the Chiefs since you mentioned them specifically.
But if Diggs wasn’t a factor against the chiefs, who do we have- or who can we get- that can be a factor? The answer, at least for 2024, is no one.

That's what they are trying to do. I remember that you keep stating that doing what doesnt work over and over and expecting a different result is flawed. Time to try something else when it comes to playing the Chiefs. Between Allen and Diggs, I would rather the latter be the change.

Going to be real hard to replace 3 catches, 21 yards, 0 TD, massive drop, and should have been fumble. Not sure what pro can replace that.
Sometimes you have to take a step back before finding a path to pass where you are. That's where we are.
I just watched the Shout! podcast where they had John Butler on. Butler pretty much said what everyone knows (including those at OBD) what the Bills need to break thru: beating the Chiefs in the playoff. We have the guy at the helm (Josh) who is as good as any swinging the picks, hammers, what have you, on that barrier. But we realized the picks and hammers are not good enough and they get dull after a few years. Time to ditch the old and try some new. We are right in between the and in the previous sentence. Of course we are not as good at the moment, and we probably won't know if the new ones are better until later. But we DO know that the old picks and hammers are NOT going to work.
Getting rid of Diggs could be extra motivation for Allen.
"You sure", **** yes.
That's exactly what's gonna happen.
Training wheels are off!
Full speed ahead baby!!!

The something that needed to change was Marty McDermott. This team is scared of big moments, and that’s a direct reflection on the ginger plank of wood calling the shots.
Any moves we make are moot while he’s still the HC. We can only hope that Beane is stockpiling for 2025. No aggressive draft or FA moves in 2024 please. This season needs a healthy dose of mag citrate so we’re good for the 2nd half of Allen’s career 2025-onward.
So basically rather than keeping Diggs for this year (which I would have) because we already own his cap penalty this year, they decided to take the last cap hit this year and free up next years cap penalty (19mil or whatever it is). I think the drop off in talent is going to be too precipitous unless there's a big splash coming.

This is drought era thinking.
Yes, doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same result is insane. What’s more insane is getting worse and expecting an equal or better result.
During the drought, the team was actually good at one thing: getting rid of players who weren’t working. There were a lot of FA’s during the drought who got overpaid by other teams and the Bills were smart to let them walk. The failure came when they failed to replace them with anyone equal or better.
If we learned one thing during the drought, it should be that “different” doesn’t necessarily mean “better.” Moving on from a guy and just promoting the next man on the bench doesn’t work.

Why are you brining up the drought when I specifically quoted your post pertaining to us playing the chiefs in the playoffs which you have often whined about . We couldnt beat them with the Allen/Diigs tandem, time to try something else. If anything its a mini drought against them in the playoffs if you want to talk about a drought.
OK since you used the dought as an example, Bean/McD has been successful at replacing players from the drought . He got rid of Darby, Dareus, Hughes , Aaron Williams and replaced them wiht guys like White, Hyde, Poyer,etc.
Is he perfect? NO . He made mistakes with guys like Benjamin but wasnt afraid to get rid of them . He also got rid of a coach he himself brought in like Rick Dennison and replaced him with Daboll which was the right move. If you are going to criticize this staff, dont use the drought. They werent part of it. They as a matter of FACT ended it.
My point in all of this is that for all the whining you did (rightfully so) about not beating the chiefs in the playoffs, you're whining about them trying to do something about it. Not sure if they will get it right but they have earned the benefit of a doubt.

You absolute insufferable moron.
They are CHANGING.
They couldn't get past KC with the roster they had, so they are CHANGING it.

Beane/McD didn't end the drought, Andy Dalton did.
