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

Teams have added 254 players in the draft since ESPN's NFL Power Rankings last appeared six weeks ago. We've seen Carson Palmer join the Arizona Cardinals and Darrelle Revis join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, among other changes involving veteran players.
30 Buffalo Bills
31 Jacksonville Jaguars
32 New York Jets
Although Clayton and Fox did think we would rise to 28th

ESPN power rankings have never been even close be accurate. They base it on last year's finish, without any projection based on offseason moves whatsoever. I haven't read it yet but I can pretty much guarantee the top 8 are all playoffteams from last year, other than maybe a random large market dart on the wal (Dallas, Miami, Giants, Philly, etc).
As always, ask me in October, November, or December where we are in the power rankings. I expect us to win about 4 games this year as we are in a reboot of a rebuild but we get a few breaks our way for once, force a few turnovers, the refs make a favorable call, and our opponents have off days we could double that or we could even sneak into the playoffs. Will it happen? I don't know, but it could.

1 Seattle Seahawks
2 San Francisco 49ers
3 Denver Broncos 3
4 Atlanta Falcons 4
5 Green Bay Packers
6 New England Patriots
7 Houston Texans
8 Baltimore Ravens
If they based it solely on last years finish, I don't think Baltimore would be number 8. Didn't thy do quite well last year?

power rankings are so terrible...the only accuracy is if you look who gets put in the top 3rd, middle 3rd and bottom third.
We might not be 28, but we are a bottom 3rd team. there is no end in sight. even with progress next year, i don't see us cracking 4 wins. and frankly that is what the team needs. a decent draft, players who buy into the system and provide some results, but don't hvae the talent to complete. then nail a second draft with high picks, and then see the major change.
Last Week: 25 Mario Williams has now reached double-digit sack totals in each of his two seasons in Buffalo, something he did only twice in six seasons with the Texans.

Last Week: 21 There's no time to lick the wounds from a 35-17 loss in New Orleans. Buffalo returns home to face the Chiefs, the last of the league's undefeated teams.

All season: Don't worry about Mario. He will never stop going for the qb and the sack numbers, and do something as mundane as kick out and seal off the sidelines. He's a piece of cake to plan against.
ROFL at the people who disparage the power rankings when they say something they don't agree with, but credit them when they are in line with what they like.
