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

The Buffalo Bills are bringing in linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa for an interview Wednesday, and a source familiar with the trip believes the tackling machine is particularly excited about the opportunity.
Tinoisamoa led the Rams in tackles four of his six seasons. He recorded 135 last year, with three sacks and two forced fumbles.
we need this guy. he is a perfect fit for us and a tackling machine. he will also alow harris to learn for a year because ellison is gone anyways after his RFA is up.
i just read that arcticle if he is ligit excited as it says obviously they already know his contract demands and are ok with them, this probably gets done this week after reading that. and graham is right a LB corps of mitchell, pos, and pisa doesnt sound to shabby :)
As soon as the Rams released him or whatever I had a feeling we liked him. I know he can play, but man, those 225lb linebackers don't get me that excited.
Oh man, I'm gonna be all over this board until I see that he is safe and sound in a Bills uniform. I'm tellin ya right now, if we sign this guy, our defense might have a real chance of being pretty darn good next year. Get'r'done Russ!!
If you walk with Jesus today, you don't have anything to worry about tomorrow...
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Over the past three years here are the compared stats:
Tino: 36 started games, 180 tackles, 148 solo, 5 sacks, 5 pass deflections and 2 interceptions
Ellison: 30 started games, 177 tackles, 109 solo, 2 sacks, 8 pass deflections and 2 interceptions
The two seem relatively similar, but I think the fact remains that Tino is a better linebacker than Ellison any day. Ellison is a liability as a starter. If he has to come in and relieve someone for four games he can do it, but a whole season as a starter can possibly hurt the team more than help them.
Tino could come in here and start from day one, instantly improving the run defense, and even the pass rush.
Bottom line: The guy makes the Bills better.
Get it done OBD, because it is getting late in the offseason and players like this wont keep falling in your lap.
