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

The Patriots aren't saying anything, but the latest rumor out this way is that Ty Law broke a bone in his foot and will miss 4-6 weeks.
That is a huge blow to the Patriots, who are improved offensively this season but whom are very thin in the secondary. Law leaves a big void, which means more playing time for rookie Randall Gay and more time at CB for Eugene Wilson.
There's truth to the saying Buffalo is a drinking town with a football problem, where a passionate fan base believes it has more answers than Ken Jennings on "Jeopardy."
Yes, Gay is an undrafted player. He was injured last year at LSU and when he returned he had lost his position (both LSU CB are draft prospects). Because he missed time and finished as the nickel back, he dropped in the draft. He was a real find for the Pats, That said, he is no replacement for Ty Law.
Compounding Law missing time is the fact that Tyrone Poole, the other starting CB, is battling a knee injury that has kept him out of 3 games. If he misses more time, the Pats are faced with starting Gay and Asante Samuel at CB, or moving Eugene Wilson back to CB and starting rookie Dexter Reid at S. This at a time when they have a couple games against two of the better offenses in the NFL (the Rams this week, and the Chiefs in a couple weeks).
Of course, Corey Dillon, Deion Branch, Matt Light and Tom Ashworth are all expected back for the offense soon, but they are going to have to score a lot of points given the situation in the secondary. It would not be a big surprise if the Pats lost a few games in the next month or so.

I doubt if they even try to start a Rookie FA, that would be like putting a target on the Rooks back.. Samuel or some type of realinment would make more sense than leaving your secondary wide open. The Rook would be an obvious weakness that opponents would key on.
What's up with Dillon.. sounds like he will be out for another week? Any chance he's not in uniform in two weeks when the Bills come up to Foxboro?

This would be great news before we got Drew as Law plays Moulds better then any CB. But they have a way of making thier scrubs look great. And we will struggle all day passing against them IMO
