Says he does not have time to bring the site up to today’s internet standards. Understandable. Will still be active on Twitter. 

One of the attractions of Bills Daily was the simplicity of it, without the flashing lights, popups, that sort of thing. Followed that site since it began, a great site to go to for information regarding the Bills. Sad to see it end but I get the time constraints... was my go to site after games, always liked their take on things.

The contact us link has already been shut down so I'll write a farewell to Steve S here

Steve,

Been following your site since it was Steve's Bills page (or was it Steve's Bills site?,) pretty sure it's more than 20 years.  Will miss your insights, game-day previews, summaries, and  grades, draft analysis, and pretty much everything else. Like yourself, this Steve is a dinosaur and hasn't caught on with the twitter thing, so I unfortunately won't be able to follow you. 

Appreciate all the time you put in all these years Steve. Sorry to see it come to an end.

Best of luck always,

Steve O

Well that blows. I had no idea it was even an idea to shut it down. 

 

If I had the money or technical knowledge, I would buy it in a heartbeat. It’s the only other site besides here that I frequent for my Bills fix.  

 

Sad day

One of you super tech savvy people should consider reaching out to him and see if you can help.  I don’t have the skills, and have never made that site, but sounds like many of you did read avidly.

 

just a thought.  I can only make time for this site typically on weekends and occasional weekday early morning before gym and work.

 

Have a good Sunday All as I’m quite busy today.

Wow.  I have used that site as my homepage for bills news (even to link here!) for years.  I am honestly not sure what i will do!  What other sites do you guys use?

Yes! Probably 99% of my many thousands of visits to this board came via BillsDaily because I would always start there.

man another site losing to social media... even tho I have a twitter...I'm not on it as much. Call me old school, but I still prefer forums, message boards and dedicated team sites for my info. I was happy I stumbled across this site...cause I was sad for years after the Bills Message Board went down

I didnt mind the old-fashioned site, it was easy to read.

 

Im going to miss his game previews that came out on thursdays and the post game recaps that ive read for what seems like the past 15 years.

Very understandable as priorities change in life.  I have been a bills fan since 1989 and found this sit in 2005 and been coming here ever since.   Great job over the years you did one hellva job bro!  Best wishes to your future endeavors!

Agree to all of this, it was really a daily tradition for me though... no pun involved, would check it every day. I still have a shortcut to it on my phone.

not shutting down the way I read it.

 

he's just burned out from daily postings, but seemed to indicate he'll post gameday grades--which i always liked--and some other stuff here and there

 

I always check their pre-game analisys and their game reviews, it's a good in-season site, at least I always enjoyed it.

That was the site I would go to after games while I waited for things to simmer down over here... this place isn’t  always safe to read immediately following losses (or days after) 

sometimes after losses I will avoid Bills message boards for a couple days.  As you say, it takes a while for things to simmer down.

I visited the site almost daily. The twitter feed was great because they sorted out only what we wanted to read. And yes, I jumped to this site from their link. Goodbye friend.

The twitter feed there is crucial
