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

Bills were able to avoid this policy by simply changing the decals on their current helmets.
Teams can still wear throwback uniforms in 2013, but players have to wear their regular helmets. For instance, the Bills wore throwback uniforms in Week 2, but their throwback helmets are the same color as their current helmets: white. So players were able to wear their regular helmets because all the Bills had to do was change decals.
Who knew!?
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.
This is most likely a reaction/ over reaction to potential head injury lawsuits. They are afraid of someone getting concussed while wearing a "one time use" helmet

They have worn the creamcicles in the past
I think that whoever thought of the rule might be concussed.
Every player wears a brand spanking new helmet at one point all the time, don't they?

A new helmet has to be actually safer. If you crash in a ski or motorcycle helmet, you're supposed to throw it away, as it may have been structurally weakened.
Doubt that's the reason for the rule. I'm sure there is one, but on its face it sure seems ******ed.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?
This is actually going to be a 5 questions - question.

Seems like there is more than enough money in the NFL to create an identical set of helmets specifically to be used for throwback games.
I remember having that same thought in 1993 or 1994 when the Bills wore a white standing Buffalo on the red helmet. It was awful.
But I thought, why not have them wear a new helmet for the throwback game, then auction the helmets off for charity? I'd buy one. I think plenty of people would.
