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

One comment from Goodell that's important- No vote, nothing happens Sat.
One comment from Goodell that's important- No vote, nothing happens Sat.
Goodell's words: "With this ratification and with the ratification of the NFLPA board, we will be prepared to open the training facilities beginning on this Saturday"
It's important because it means the doors won't open on Saturday if the players haven't agreed to this deal. Goodell is pretty much killing any notion that players will show up and be let in on Saturday if they haven't voted on a deal yet.

Talks will continue on for the next week or so and once everyone starts losing money from pre-season games, a deal will be completed. I hope I'm wrong though, I need a FA frenzy now!

We are about 2 weeks out at most in my opinion. I'm thinking it will be over by August 5th. Even though it could happen sooner, I just don't see it. August 5th is still sooner than I originally expected though. My original prediction had it ending by August 20th. The doors wont open tomorrow. Players will probably stretch this thing into the middle of next week. But we are still very close to the end of the lockout. It could happen any time between now and then.

They've already pushed out the Saturday date.
The owners have really put the onus on the players to determine when the league year will start and how much of the 'season' from this point on will be lost or salvaged.
IMO it goes into next week without a vote, the league cancels the first week of pre-season games, D.Smith's ******* tightens up like a frog's under water, then the players will vote on and pass the agreement.

The Bills weren't supposed to be in training camp until the 29th. Under the owners plan (which likely won't happen now), the Bills would have reported two days earlier than if there was no lockout. Granted, we lost the OTAs, like everyone, but the owners IMO were trying to get the players in for non contact stuff this saturday just to make up for the missed OTA time, not because the time is critical. Now that the Hall of Fame game has been cancelled and everyone will play four preseason games, the camps can open, on time, a week from now.
That is still likely to happen. The front office duties and the mad dash to sign FAs, UDFA, RFA and UFA will be the crazy stuff.

Plane tix for september are already expensive... If I wait to the middle of August they will really suck. Someone tell the NFL that the odds are steadily decreasing that I will buy one...
