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!
* In three games since their bye week, playing against the NFL's bottom-feeders (a combined 4-17 record), the Jets are just 2-1 and are minus-8 in turnover ratio.
* In those three games, Brett Favre has turned the ball over nine times (7 INTs and 2 fumbles) and looked his age (39) at times. Four of his INTs have come inside the opponent's 10-yard line, which means the Jets are giving away precious points.
==================
Gotta take advantage of that this week.
If Youboty plays, then I believe we'll get a couple turnovers. If he doesn't, I'd expect something of a shootout. He's been one of the biggest reasons our pass defense has suffered, imo.

If we get no pressure on Favre, and play 10 yards off his receivers - which is how our D played the Dolphins - Favre may have the crowning day of his career.
Hopefully, Fewell will change our defensive scheme from "Let him throw and let them catch, then try to run them down" to something that resembles pressure and tight coverage.
But I'm not holding my breath.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
