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

Do you think JP would be playing as well as he is right now - and the team playing as well as they are - if that comeback in the final two minutes never happened the way it did?
At the time it happened, so many fans/media said, "this could be what JP needs to become a leader and mature." Well, it obviously helped. But how much was that moment really a factor in what's going on now?

I don't think so. The confidence JP acquired that game as well as the confidence in his ability to lead the team he put into his teammates is tremendously helpful.
For the first time in his career he led the team downfield to a winning drive. To duplicate that feat the next week just added fuel to the fire.
it was bound to happen eventually and actually pretty soon. he was steadily progressing and beginning to make critical plays already. and with a completion percentage so high it seemed inevitable that would be a game winner somewhere along the line
so yeah it helped him with confidence and to finally get that behind him. but im not sure it was as big to him as it was to us. nobody on the team seemed surprised or relieved that jp finally came through as if some big weight of his was lifted off their shoulders. i mean if you listen they were saying it all along. he was saying it, the coaches were saying it, the other players were saying it and we saw it on the field. so when he finally did it they were happy but definitely in a manner like they were expecting it. maybe thats why i was
I think it definitely was key in helping him turn the corner. When he was put in a position where he had to do a lot early in the season, he struggled. They scaled back things during the Bye week and he didn't have to do much...they let loose more against Houston and this time around, when put in a position where he had to do a lot, JP and his teammates came through. If he hadn't stepped up then, we might very well be not only completely out of the playoff hunt, but we'd be looking for a new QB in the offseason

flash back what ifs, playoff scenarios, ive got no time for this, ive got a **** fight to go to.
Sorry man, joking aside, it is what it is and its too much for my feable brain to handle this and the playoff mess.
Actually, I thought the turning point was during the Packers game. Not many agreed with me at the time, but sometimes stats do not tell the entire story. What stood out in my mind was how Losman took a beating the entire game, he played miserably for 45 minutes and all of a sudden he comes out and leads the offense on a game winning drive highlighted by the big pass to Evans for the go ahead score. Granted the defense had to protect that lead but I believe that game, that moment, was the turning point.
Obviously the coaches were not convinced because the very next game they only atempted to pass the ball like 12 times (Indy game) but in terms of solidifying himself as the leader of that squad, in the eyes of his teamates at least, the GB game was huge. Losman stood tough and delivered.
