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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Bruski clearly had his arm holding TE Gates from going back inside on 2nd down in redzone. Zebras are doing their usual bang up job.
It was within 5 yards, where you're allowed to touch the receiver, not too mention Gates was also touching him. Bruschi released him around the 5. LOS was the 9 on the play.
Nothing illegal about the play, nor did Bruschi's "jamming" disrupt Gates ability to catch the ball. Bruschi diving and hitting the ball certainly did though.
BTW this game is over...if you get in the redzone vs the Pats and are forced to kick FGs, you're screwed. You need TDs when you can get them.
Touching and jamming ok, but he held onto him when Gates tried to break. Is that legal?
It's not like Gates wasn't jockeying with Bruschi either and it all happened within 5 yards. Hence why no flag on the play. Happens all the time in the NFL. Hell Hines Ward did against Jacksonville in the playoffs and got them called for Defensive Pass Interference.
But more times than not, jockeying within the first 5 yards of scrimmage is never called no matter what type of contact is made.
