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

Not only do they have to play the very underrated Panthers on Feb. 1st for the SB, but they also must worry about and his Oakland Raiders taking either OC Charlie Weis or DC Romeo Cromell as their next coach after a deal with Payton broke down.
Wouldnt it be funny if they took both of them? Not likely to happen but god would I love it...
The agreement between Sean Payton and the Raiders that would have made him Oakland's new head coach has broken off, and there are strong indications that Payton has decided to stay with the Cowboys as an assistant head coach.
COMING SOON...

The only way the Raiders could take both is if Crennel is made HC and Weis decides to be his OC (Weis contract expires after the Super Bowl, but he reportedly is close to an extension with the Pats). Crennel is under contract through 2006 and can't leave the Pats unless offered a HC job.
You are right that Crennel would be the biggest loss. He is very underrated in what he brings to the team, and his arriving in 2001 to serve as a buffer between Belichick and the defensive players was a key component to the success the Pats have enjoyed.
Weis, though a sound coach, wouldn't be a huge loss. While he does a good job developing talent, he isn't a great playcaller. The Pats have more experience on the offensive staff as well, including asst. HC Dante Scarnecchia (who Belichick raves about as a coach).
There is a chance the Pats could lose an assistant off their staff. QB coach John Hufnagel reportedly is under considering for OC of the Giants. Hufnagel coached under Coughlin for Jacksonville. Also, LB coach Pepper Johnson reportedly will receive some consideration as DC in Chicago under Lovie Smith. However, he isn't considered a top candidate for the job.
It is inevitable that the Pats staff will be broken up some in the near future. Part of the price for success in the NFL is that the staff finds opportunities elsewhere and leaves. Hopefully, the Kraft-Belichick-Pioli leadership will remain in place and allow for some stability.
Davis traditionally has gone with offensive coaches, though. His interest in Peyton was because he has a reputation of being innovative with the use of different sets and motions, similar to Gruden. I could see him being interested in Weis for the same reason, as Weis does a lot of non-traditional things.

I'm just hoping he goes after Crennel. He will be the biggest loss to your team.
I would love it if Crennel and Weis BOTH snub Davis! It's about time that smug, cocky, litigious bastard tastes some of the **** he serves up to the league.

Yet it'd be better for the Bills if they both leave too.
Go you smug, cocky, litigious Al Davis, you sign both those guys if you can. Crennel would be a great fit for you. You don't mind paying big bucks to lure Weis from NE as your OC, do you? While you're at it, you could sign some of NE's free agents as long as the Bills don't want them.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

The patsies will blow without Crennel. There D is what makes them win all there ball games. IMO there offesense is nothing to write home about. They have done nothing in the second half of there last 2 games. The panthers DB's are going to be all over those 2 and 3 yard passes.
Just heard on the Tony Cornheiser show this morning that Al Davis is now talking to Miami OC, Norv Turner, as a possible HC. I'd rather he stick with NE's coordinators just because NE is better than Miami right now.
