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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Is Seantrel Handerson in Trouble? Does Jaguars need an OT?
Poor Wayne Hunter's been beat down by just about everyone over the past few weeks for his turnstile-like play at right tackle recently and finally enough was enough, as Rex Ryan announced he was benching Hunter for Austin Howard.
Hunter, per Ryan, will move into a "sixth man" role for the Jets with Howard taking the starting right-tackle snaps against the Panthers when the two teams square off on Sunday night.
"You always try and do what's in the best interest of your football team," Ryan said. "And right now I believe this is in the best interest of our team."
Earlier this week, Ryan didn't even bother giving Hunter a vote of confidence, so it shouldn't be that stunning that he decided to finally yank the tackle out of the starting lineup.
Still, getting Hunter off the field is pretty critical, because he -- and the offensive line in general -- was a complete sieve in the Jets last game against the Giants, allowing Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow to get sacked a combined seven times.
But if Howard's such a better player, why did it take Ryan so long to figure out that Hunter shouldn't be in the game? He was terrible in 2011 and he's been terrible thus far in 2012, without the season even starting.
Jets fans should be excited that Ryan admitted there's a significant problem on the line and is finally taking steps to address it. But there are plenty of other people that should be more thrilled with the news that the Jets offense line is in upheaval just weeks before the season kicks off ...

Bills coach Rex Ryan told reporters that he expects to sign veteran offensive lineman Wayne Hunter, according to Mike Rodak of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Hunter has been trying out for Buffalo over the past couple of days.
It has been a couple years since we’ve heard from Hunter, who started all 16 games at right tackle for the Jets in 2011, and last appeared in the NFL in 2012. The tackle was widely criticized by Jets fans during his time in New York. In his final year in green, Hunter graded out as one of the very worst tackles in the NFL, according to the advanced metrics at Pro Football Focus (subscription required). Hunter finished with an overall grade of -24.6, ranking him 71st out of 76 qualified tackles.
In August of 2012, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer convinced the Rams to send Jason Smith east in order to bring Hunter to St. Louis. Hunter fared slightly better in his 14 games (4 starts) with the Rams, but still graded out with a below average mark according to PFF.
