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

Who in your mind had the worst draft? My pick is Washington. Come on, Devin Thomas, Fred Davis and Malcolm Kelly? Just doesn't make sense to me. I really think we will look back at their draft and just laugh at them. Saying that Snyder went to the school of Matt Millen is a complete understatement. Fred Davis is the same type of player as Cooley and it's almost impossible for Moss, Thomas, Kelly, Randle El, Cooley and Davis ALL to have an impact. Their draft definately had me scratching my head the most.
I think washington is trying to build a young core on the offense. They have a solid OL, they have a young QB in Campbell. A very nice WR core of Thomas, Moss, Kelly and Randle-El along with a solid Hback in Cooley and TE in Davis. You have Portis running the ball with solid depth at RB.
While personally it wouldnt have been my strategy, I certainly dont think it was terrible. They could also be preparing to dump one of those big salaries.
True, forgot about Detroit. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that Detroit will have a crappy draft every year, so it's almost second nature to me! Btw, Atlanta better get some more beef on that OL or Ryan is dead.
Atlanta was the #1 loser IMO. Passing on Glenn Dorsey for Matt Ryan was the biggest mistake in the draft IMO. Then they trade up for Sam Baker.
Detroit comes in 2nd.
I dont disagree with the idea. Dorsey is imo the best defensive player in the draft.
However.
Atlanta has had nothing but turbulence the past 2 years, they need stability but more then that a franchise QB who will not only lead them on the field but be the face of the team. Ryan was that guy to a T.
They brought in a great GM in Dimitroff, and a solid HC in Smith. Ryan as THIER guy made great sense. They also dumped the malcontents and Vick's buddies.
Baker was a slight reach imo but made total sense. A solid addition who should pair nicely with Blalock from last year.
Curtis Lofton is a thumper, that kid can play LB. This years Demeco Ryans imo. Going to be a great defensive player for Atlanta.
All in all I think Atlanta is having exactly the type of draft they needed to have. A great one.
To me the biggest losers were yet again the Bungals.
Not only do they lose out on a DT (I sure hope they at least attempted to move down for Balmer), but in the 2nd with Jackson, Sweed and Kelly on the board they take Jerome Simpson.
They pass on Laws at DT and 3 solid DE's.
That entire FO needs to wash thier mouths out with buckshot. Like yesterday.
Saw this on a Lions forum prior to Day 1. Seriously was cracking up.
Threadt title: "I don't know who the Lions will draft tomorrow..."
But I hate the pick already. Seriously.
I also know their 2nd round pick will be a guy slated for the 4th round, a real 'football charactor' guy with no discernable physical skills.
Sunday will roll around and their 3rd rounders will be a dork for some small potatoes college no one ever heard of and a loser from a major school with bad eating habits.
In the 4th they will get a waiver wire name
In the 5th, a special team ace that would have been a undrafted FA
In the 6th and 7th rounds they will get around to filling their OL needs.
I hated the picks first of all we traded down 2 spots just to get some sub par tackle and then wasted our 2nd round pick on some 3 foot LB that will probably get cut after mini camp. Gee Matt Millen I wonder if I had you and Osama Bin Laden in one room who's ass I choose to kick first
