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

Get some delph players in here or cut players that is going too be out there. And sign our own next Bill's next years free agent's might as well do it now after Mario. Bill's have alot i mean alot 4 next year. Might as well get started and redo Fred Jackson contract.
So what u think they are gonig too do after all of this?
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.
If they don't get Mario, they better re-do Freddy's contract because obviously they have money and there isn't anybody left worth that amount.
I agree, also I would think their own free agents that are going to be for next year free agenty. Might as well get that done. Lots of good players on Bill's going to be next year.
create another 100 threads about how Ralph is cheap.
well, if we don't get Mario, this time it WON'T be because Ralph is cheap.
And that's a scary thought.
Cheap is easy to fix. You just have to offer up the money.
But if they offer up the money and STILL can't get top FA's, it means this organization has much more fundamental problems that are much more difficult to fix. Basically, it means no one is going to come here unless we win, but we can't win unless we get better players.

well , your "ralph is cheap" thought got flushed down the toilet and now you're looking for something else negative to say.........unfortunately I agree

Not really sure how you can say it got flushed down the toilet because of ONE FA.
We still traded Lee Evans away to save $2 million when we were already $20 million under the cap.
We still went into last season $20 million under the cap.
Our coaches are still consistently amongst the lowest paid in the league.
We still let Winfield, Clements, Fletcher, Pat Williams, Jonas Jennings and Jason Peters walk (actually I think they traded Peters, but same difference because they did it so they didn't have to pay him).
Ralph spent big in FA in 2003 and 2007 but, other than that, has done nothing in FA in the last decade except bring in role players and journeymen for depth.
It's great that Ralph is offering up the dough for Mario. It's great that we didn't let Stevie walk. Hopefully these are signs that things are changing. But two good moves don't negate 52 years of tight purse strings.
But at least we agreed on the main point for once.
I think there is still some guys out there on the OL, ILB, RB and DT. Those positions weren't as hot at first, but will pick up.
Keep in mind there are still a few vets that could shake loose as well. A lot of guys may have been approached about taking a paycut or being cut. A lot of times guys have a roster bonus due by the 10th day of the league year to force a decision.

We definitely don't need help at DT. Maybe some rotation/depth guys, but with Williams and Dareus, we are fine with starters.
We could use a 3rd RB, possibly someone who could be an insurance policy in case Jackson's age catches up with him or if we can't re-sign him.
We definitely need OL help- at the very least we need depth, and I'd like to see our starting T situation improved.
And we definitely need help at ILB, although pass rusher is by far the biggest need.
Well, it depends on just how big this deal is! Ralph may just be looking for nickels and pennies on the ground after what he ends up giving to Mario....
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.
