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!
I found this article interesting and saddening. the NFL doesn't really have a good excuse other than "we don't want to hurt people's feelings. We'll let them get brain damage, but letting people second guess them despite the fact this happens all the time anyway, we won't stand for."
the NFL is so confusing on their beliefs at times.
Thoughts on this article? I really wish we did get the bird's eye viewfor games.

Nice article - bonehead coaching! So true
You've jogged a memory. Couple 'o years ago, I saw an angle I've never seen before - a view from the ez up high . Don't remember the teams, but somebody was describing in detail what was going on. Haven't seen such before or after.
Without the expanded frame, fans often have no idea why many plays turn out the way they do, or if the TV analysts are giving them correct information. On a recent Sunday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith threw a deep pass to tight end Delanie Walker for a 26-yard touchdown. Daryl Johnston, the Fox color man working the game, said Smith's throw was "placed perfectly" and that Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Corey Lynch was "a little bit late getting there."
Greg Cosell, producer of the ESPN program "NFL Matchup," who is one of the few people with access to All-22 footage, said the 49ers had purposely overloaded the right side of the field so each receiver would only be covered by one defender. Lynch, the safety, wasn't late getting there, Cosell says. He was doing his job and covering somebody else. Johnston could not be reached for comment.
Who'd want more informed analyst and fans? If the NFL wasn't so busy focusing on the negative, they'd realize this would only bring fans closer to the game and ultimately have an even bigger impact on popularity of this sport. Yes, there possibly would be more controversial matters but that's what sells!
Ive seen the angle of film (CFB not NFL), Ive seen every angle that the TV camera shoot. When I tell you its a completely different game when you can watch from the non-TV angles I really mean it.
COMING SOON...

the advantage would be to see what the QB's are looking at. This isn't pick up football. people aren't wide open the entire route. You are making throws before the breaks. If you see guys splitting the wrong way, etc, its mroe compelling.
That's why i love going to the game, you get to see where the safeties are and what pre read you think you've got. And you can follow what you think is a good option (without knowing the receivers routes). It just makes it more interesting.
I really don't care about line play in the sense of "what is the scheme"
i think if people really got to evalute game film and pick it apart, it would give gamblers a bigger advantage.
I'm sure as much as the NFL wags its one finger at vegas and betting, they get paid nicely through the lobbyists of the gaming commissions. Anything that makes it harder to set a spread makes the books harder to run.
Again, the general interest of populace and what the majority of fans would like is run into the ground by lobbyists and special interests.
Very interesting article, thanks! My favorite part:
On a Buffalo Bills fan site called "The Buffalo Range," one message-board member said "I've been dying for them to release it for years. Please help me stuff the ballot box."
