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 http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

what happens if the owners don't stand in unison?

This is way out there, and really just out of hypothetical situations.

Could say the Bills and a few teams say, "to hell with the dan synders and krafts of this world. We are holding our season. Players report. We'll pay you."

And then have a season with just the reporting teams play?

I'm just curious as we heard stories about some players kind of fracturing with the union. So is it possible for the owners to not all be on the same page and still attempt to have a season?

Not under the name of the National Football League they can't have their own season.

I guess we could in a one team league. Sure.

I would think that a majority of owners have other streams of revenue and that the NFL is just a "hobby" to them. I think they can afford to hold out and not play. There are also the teams that claim that they are better off without a season. I don't think we have to worry about the owners and their unison. Wait until these players start missing paychecks.

i put the odds at 50-50. The bills would find a way to make it impossible.

Goodell pretty much said after last night's ruling that the league can no longer enforce any rules because of the threat of antitrust suits, unless a new CBA is signed. So, in effect, the Bills could, right now, jump to the UFL or the CFL if they wanted to and either league is willing to take them. Not that I think they will (a UFL team is worth about 1-2% of that of an NFL franchise, although adding an existing NFL team would boost that considerably)... but it's theoretically possible.
