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

An old article from last offseason, but interesting anyways!
Median salaries
Punters and kickers have the highest median NFL salaries because few teams have backups. Median salaries by position.
Punter/Kicker $631,040
Defensive end $600,958
Quarterback $593,667
Offensive line $589,133
Cornerback $563,200
Defensive tackle $513,880
Linebacker $513,360
Wide receiver $512,000
Safety $501,580
Running back $479,241
Tight end $477,280
Who would have thunk that the skinny geeks on the team average the highest average salary.
Now obviously, the other positions like RB are skewed. Your average 1,000 yard rusher Like LaDamien Tomlinson make 8 million, but the 2-3 guys behind him all make peanuts.
The showy positions, WR, QB, DB et al, have a lot of flair when on the field, but football is won or lost with the kicker. Moorman saved our butts several times this season.
Look at what happened this weekend too. Without a good kicker, you aren't going far these days.
When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.
Actually the data cites median salaries not mean salaries so your assertion kickers have the highest average salaries is incorrect. The median is the observation that falls in the center of all observations. Since kickers are usually alone on a roster their salary is the median salary for kickers. In the case of QB's there are usually three on the roster which would mean the back-up QB would be the median salary for QBs on that team. Hence the data is saying the kicker is making more than the 2nd QB, 3rd WR..etc. It's quite useless.
The reason Kicker/Punter median salary is so high because teams usually only have 1 of each. Theres not many of them.
There's somewhere between 75 kicker/punters in the NFL. Most teams have around 7-8 offensive lineman, that would make around 256 o-linemen in the league for example.
3 QB per team= 96
6 or 7 CB= 224
You never here of a kicker signing a 5 year 25 million dollar contract.
Originally posted by LABillsFan What do holders make?
Not sure but the holder for the Giants (Allen) should give back his salary after his bonehead play of not spiking it when Junkin snapped the ball badly on 3rd down and 6 seconds left...
The Giants game is often compared to the Bills Oilers comeback. It was in that game as well that a punter Greg Montgomery (who was the holder on the play) botched the attempt when the snap went through his hands.
If the Oilers make that kick, the Bills probably lose the game.
For the life of me, why do they not get a backup QB to hold on kicks? They are supposed to have good hands and some judgement under fire of a rush. Punters do not.
