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

I can't believe POZ won't be in there for the rest of the year.
Damn our bad luck, I can't remember any team so devistated with injury.
As soon as POZ was out, they ran on us like we didn't even have LB's.
Now he's missing all this experience, what a nightmare season.
Oh well, strap them on, and keep fighting. GO BILLS!
Losing another linebacker is costly when we are so thin at the position. Which reminds me of a Bengals move from last week-
They signed freakin Dhani Jones who can't make any NFL team this year and he gets 7 tackles and is all over the NFL replay of the Bengals game, despite their loss. Why can't we be the team that could recognize that ability? Sign somebody with a website, at least! Instead we will sign another practice squad LB...
Poz was fun to watch. Sad to see him go. I suspected that he wasn't going to make it through the whole season though. That's alot to throw on a rookie.
As soon as POZ was out, that's when Baloni started getting his 7 plus yrds per carry stats, and the middle was wide open for anything.
He's a Huuuuuuge loss!
but the concern about him losing development time is not as bad as it might first appear
the main adjustment for a rookie is informational. you go from being an amateur to a professional and theres tons of knowledge involved in that right there. then theere are the schemes, the terminology, the reads, and the calls.virtually all of this information can be gained by simple attendance, being around, involved, and immersed in it. even injured he will progress significantly in this regard
then there is game experience. true he will lose a lot of the repetition of actually playing but research has shown that mental reps are nearly as effective as actual reps in gaining experience and ability. trust me, professional clubs know this and should already have instructed him on this. thus if he keeps working hard in the film room and pays rapt attention on the sidelines he will absolutely grow as an experienced player as well. perhaps not as much as if he was on the field but he could literally get 80% if he applies himself
with this in mind theres no reason he can hit the ground at full speed come next year, complete with a virtual entire season of knowledge and experience. it sucks major ass for us right now to not get to watch him the rest of the way here, but im pretty certain he will be a relatively well seasoned beast right out of the gate next september
I bought both home and away POZ's, but will still wear them!
My other is a home LOSMAN, and then my throwback.
I'll be wearing #51 for our D, we need to support them,
their backs to the wall, LET'S GO, BUF-FA-LO!!!
