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

With the encouraging play the team is getting from Crow, do you think he'll end up starting next year with Spikes moving over to his old position, middle linebacker? This leaves London Fletcher the odd man out. Fletch has been a solid player for us, but what will become of him? I hear he could be a cap cut. What about Posey? He hasn't been played up to expectations considering he was signed from the Texans to rush the passer. He's proven he's a better fit for the 3-4 defense. Does Posey get axed? Could we be looking at a Fletcher, Spikes and Crowell starting lineup next year??
Brian Simmons played inside linebacker in Cincy because TKO was so dominant weak side. Not too mention we have one of the best ILB-OLB combos in the NFL if not the best. Flecther is a force, and has not shown any drop off in talent.
Fletch and TKO compliment each other perfectly, we need to keep them together until its no longer an option.
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.
Don't change a thing. There are other areas on the team that need attention and the lb's isn't one of them. Crowell had 1 great game and we're already thinking of starting him? Cmon.
I know it won't happen, but since Lavar Arrington is most likely going to be cut at the end of the year. How great would that be Fletcher-Spike-Arrington. I know it's not going happen and i know that we couldn't even afford him but i just think it would be sweet.
Problem 1 is that we don't know how TKO's recovery will go. Crowell will be a RFA and minimum tender yields a 3rd rd pick. He could be signed to an offer sheet. He played pretty well Sunday (INT and a sack).
Problem 2 is that we really have no one on the roster who effectively replace Posey. He's a Sam OLB. Yes, he's been invisible since TKO's injury, but at this point, we should keep the LB'ing crew intact and only add to it with the best LB draft in many years.
Ancillary: I suspect Fletcher will sign a modest extension to create some 2006 cap space
i still say posey is a lot better than everyone makes him out to be.
I agree he's definitely underrated. Posey's strength and his value to this defense is in his versatility. He can play in space against TE's play the run and rush the passer which is key in B-lo's defense. If we get rid of Posey it would have to be for a similar player.
