Thoughts about the Bills Official Website

Same, i mean i hit a couple of sites every day but i never go to the official one anymore, the MB was really all i went there for.  I will fire up the app every now and then to hear interviews with the players/coaches but that's it.   Maybe that's how they want it IDK. 

 

Oh yeah, I use the app a lot. Never go to the site, though.

Don’t trust the government and don’t trust the official website.

I stopped going to the site when they cut the messageboards.

Then why are you doing it?

I still visit there from time to time, it has it's purpose (Bills store, tickets, schedule). The pictures, interviews and camp videos are still worth checking out.

since the closure of the BBMB my official Bills website is 2BD. I have not gone back since and aside from managing my season ticket account I have no intention to

 

Same here, I wonder how much traffic they lost without the board.

BF...that is just a tremendous response.  Kudos to you, Sir.  Way to turn that almost frown upside down.

 

i will now vote, my friend.

I have to be honest, I haven’t been to the Bills official site in years. I do most of my browsing on my phone and my first stop for Bills news is this site. I also have the official Bills app for alerts so I’m covered.

I took "Official Website" to include official app, Facebook, etc. Any news source officially run and sanctioned by the Bills. As opposed to TBD, BR, etc. The last time I visited that site on a computer was probably a few years ago.

I tend to go there daily to see if there is Bill's news from the source.  I like most of the content they generate with interviews with players/coaches and videos of press conferences.

 

Interestingly - the site itself seems to be hosed today, I can't tell if they are doing a major overhaul - or if there is some sort of error someone made in coding (or if it is just my browser acting up - but their site is the only one I've found which isn't working today).

Used to go daily for the message board, cut way back after that.   I may go once every two weeks to check out the videos, but since Mcbeane took over even those have been scaled way back.   Interestingly enough it seems there has been a specific attempt to cut the media back even further this year.   Part of me wonders if this has to do with Allen and trying to limit either positive or negative feedback.

 

For the most part I'd say the site is pretty useless unless you are a season ticket holder, which I am not.

haven't been since the board got closed but i always thought it was a little thin and not entirely well built

[GottaRun]

It's the last place I would go for Bills info.  No it's not, I forgot it existed, so I would never go there for info.

[blacklabel]

The website is whatever. As someone pointed out, it does seem like there have been fewer articles and such as of late. I'll check out interviews and press conference videos from time to time but that's about it.

 

Their mobile app needs work. There's a 50/50 chance it crashes each time I try to open it. The features are extremely limited and you'd think they would have the store built into the app but when you click the link to check out the store it takes you to the desktop version of the store's website.

So has it been addressed that the website has gone through some major revamp lately?

Yeah - it doesn't work in Edge either - but does work in other browsers.  It looks like they copied the NFL.COM template and the blog link is gone.  When I click on Team/Community, it comes up with a story about how Watkins signed to be at the Kelly Camp (probably when Watkins was a rookie)....  So there is work to be done. 

 

I mostly go there to look for original content, but lately they've been mostly regurgitating stories from elsewhere.
