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

Lots of idiotic comments regard Marv, saying he should be fired today, he is senile, etc.
Most of the comments should be directed towards Tom Modrak. Tom Modrak is making the most important of the recommendations Marv is getting. Marv stated before the draft that that it would be a consensus pick but that that scouting was the more important weight in picks.
So you guys want to fire everyone simply based on who was picked today? You're not even going to reserve judgment until these players have had a full season under their belts? Sometimes it take two or three seasons. But you're ready to be the judge, jury, and executioner?
Modrak built the Eagles team. He is far from stupid. He can give his input but it's Marv who makes the final say.
Modrak isn't the one who decided to trade up, down or what not. He can provide his opinion on talent but Levy is the GM and it's call how the draft is ran and who gets taken. So far what we have missed out on with giving away draft picks, and where we are drafting the players it has been a failing grade.
Levy is the GM. If this is all Modrak and he is making the call then Levy is nothing but a puppet PR move. Levy is in charge. If Modrak is running the show but Levy has the title, then this organization is even more messed up then I thought it was.
It's like when something happens on a job site. The supervisor can give his story, input and opinion to the manager but the supervisor doesn't make the call on how to rectify the situation. If he does then you have a weak manager. The manager gets the input from the entire team on the situation but the call rest upon the instincts and shoulders of the manger. If the manager is asking the supervisor or people under him what should be done then he shouldn't be in the position.
So you guys want to fire everyone simply based on who was picked today? You're not even going to reserve judgment until these players have had a full season under their belts? Sometimes it take two or three seasons. But you're ready to be the judge, jury, and executioner?
Even if these guys turn out to be decent players, will they be worth what we spent and gave up for them?
We could've traded down and got an extra second instead of reaching for Whitner. We lost another 3rd round pick by moving up for McCardo when he also may have been there like McCardo.
We have lost two draft picks over this. Will these guys be such great players they will be worth where we drafted them along with the players we lost out on? I doubt it. Only time will tell.
TRADE VALUE: Looking at the trade value chart, it was pretty much a wash in the move the Bills made up to 26 from 42. The point values for what the Bills gave up (725) compared to what the Bears gave up (700) was virtually even. So it might look like a lot on the surface to some, but really it was a fairly even trade with respect to the trade value chart.
