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!
This is only a test
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

Tradionally, does the NFL season begin the first or second Sunday of September?
This year the first Sunday is Sept 6th, followed by Sept 13th. The 13th is late for the season to start, so I would suspect it will begin Sept 6. Sound right? I really cant remember right now.
Clutch, Im planning a trip to NYC around that weekend, want to catch the Bills opener at mcfaddens and do a huge story on it.
Naw, I read about this. It's starting the first weekend AFTER Labor day. Since Labor Day is on the 7th (the latest it can be) the Season won't start until the 13th.
Plus, we play the HOF game on August 9th. Meaning, the first weekend of the preseason would start Thursday the 13th. Week 2, the 20th, week 3 the 27th and week four of the preseaon would start on September 3rd. Meaning that Sunday September 6th would still be the final preseaon weekend.
Opening weekend will start Thursday September 10th. As late as it can start.

Yeah- the NFL has it's reasons not to open on Labor day weekend- mainly TV ratings. They want big audiences for the Thursday night opener and Sunday games. They don't get that when everyone is out on family picnics and the last summer vacation.
It also pushes the Super Bowl into February- a ratings sweeps month.
