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

Against the Jets: Did Peters really not know the play?
Against the Jets: Did Peters really not know the play?
Remember the infamous play against the Jets where Losman rolled out? On WGR yesterday they were talking about that play and Peters. I was only in the car for a moment. They mentioned that Peters didn't know the play and was supposed to have Losman's back on the play...that he missed the block because he didn't know what he was supposed to do.
Is that true? Do we have a link to that or is it credible?
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

We just traded away what some people consider to be the best player on the team...I'm looking for justification.
He probably knew the play but was just confused because calling that play in that situation was ridiculous. "wait, they want me to do that, NOW? That can't possibly be right.... oh **** he just snapped the ball, now what?"
Re: Against the Jets: Did Peters really not know the play?
I'm sure he mis-heard in the huddle:
"Jason, on this play it's important that you stand there and day dream about the big contract extension you didn't get."
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

I don't think he took that play off. I think he either whiffed on the block or didn't know who he was supposed to block.
Don't get me wrong- he clearly screwed up. But I think it was lack of execution, not lack of effort.
I understand what you're saying... But when someone says the result of the play was because somebody forgot the play, it insinuates that they had to make a poor choice... Since Peters' only 2 choices were to block that guy or not block that guy, by the logic of SI, he must have chose to not block him.
Re: Against the Jets: Did Peters really not know the play?
Straight from the horses mouth:
The play was supposed to be a short pass to fullback Corey McIntyre, and if he wasn't available, Losman should have just thrown the ball away. Instead, he held the ball too long and that gave Elam time to blitz from the backside and sack Losman.
Losman bristled and refused to answer when asked if he felt the pressure behind him, but offensive coordinator Turk Schonert didn't mince words.
"He's got to see the blitz," Schonert said. "And when the fullback gets stuffed immediately, he's got to protect it or just throw it away."
Losman, who agreed with Schonert's assessment, had a rather pedestrian performance before his big mistake. He completed 24 of 39 passes, but for only 148 yards. His longest completion was for 14 yards.
Re: Against the Jets: Did Peters really not know the play?
Why the hell would they call that play?
Back when Mularkey was coach, I said numerous times that his logic for calling certain plays was 'That's so stupid they'll never expect us to do it".
Same thing applies here. McIntyre doesn't usually handle the ball, and fullbacks wear extra padding on their ribs that makes their arms less mobile and makes it harder to cradle the ball against the body. Just a ****ing ridiculous play call.

So he confused that play with the one he's supposed to take off???
