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

Ray Lewis says 4 irreplaceable players to their teams - "exact number" as he said
Ray Lewis says 4 irreplaceable players to their teams - "exact number" as he said
on MNF. Insteresting from a player's perspective, a long time player I may add. I hope he does not include himself.
So one is Aaron Rodgers as they were discussing his injury. I know two no-brainers: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. So who is the last one in his opinion? Drew Brees? Roethlisberger? I didn't hear him mentioning his "exact" 4 players.
Re: Ray Lewis says 4 irreplaceable players to their teams - "exact number" as he said
Down here in Steeltown, there is a lot of hate of Ray, and I know many never got over his 2000 murder trial. But you have to respect him as a football player. Yes he's over the top on a lot of things which I dislike (I only know one super star - Polamalu being a perfect gentleman), but I wish there is a Bill player having that kind of talent AND his drive to be where he wanted to be as a football player. Watch Ray's 1st MNF where he talked about the 2000 murder case, I believed him. I know many in this town mocked Lewis for betraying his friends/posse, but I think Ray's right. He needed to stay away from the type of people he had before then. So maybe he went on to have 5 kids from 5 different women, that's a lot better than involved in murders. Even we ordinary guys may have a few girlfriends from teenage to adult men, let alone these star athletes...

Big Ben isn't going anywhere after this season. They are doing bad this year but you can't act like he hasn't had tons of success in this league before now. They need to rebuild the team around him. He's a good QB but he isn't an all time great who will carry you to wins by himself.
The only way that Big Ben even has a chance of going anywhere is if the Steelers decided to totally blow up the team and start from scratch. If that's the case then they will draft a rookie in the first round next year.

Honestly I don't know if Roethlisberger has long enough left to play through a rebuild. He's 31 this year, but he's already been sacked 375 times - over a hundred times more than guys like Peyton and Brees who have played far more seasons than him. And that's before you account for all the other hits he takes standing in the pocket forever waiting for a deep ball, or the time he went face first through a windshield without a helmet. I honestly think he's got maybe 2-3 years of solid play in him and IMO it's hard to justify playing him 36 million over the next two years while that team sorts themselves out.
If I was Pitt, I'd explore dealing him in the offseason to an NFC team like the Bears, Cardinals, Rams, or Bucs
Re: Ray Lewis says 4 irreplaceable players to their teams - "exact number" as he said
If Pittsburgh can get their OL healthy and respectable again along with adding some young fresh blood with some of the defense then they could be a solid team very fast. They wouldn't be Super Bowl contenders but could still be a respectable team that could make the playoffs.
It all depends if they decided to totally blow the team up and start over or make some tweaks to their defense along with adding an OL and getting the rest healthy for once. Their OL is their biggest problem and their defense is old and slow for the most part.
I doubt they will get rid of Big Ben after this season. The only way that will happen is if there's a QB in the first round they really feel could be a franchise QB. If they didn't go that route then they would still be wise to maybe get one in the 2nd round if one fell in a deep QB class. I guess it all depends on how they feel about Landry Jones for the long haul.
