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!
Why exactly? Because they brought in Jim Leonard??? I just don't get the love affair with this team.
They also brought in Bart Scott and there's belief that Rex Ryan is going to make Vernon Gholston into the player they thought they drafted last year. I'll say this about the Jets. It wouldn't shock me to see them to split the season series between the Bills but it also wouldn't shock me to see them go 5-11. As think we saw exceptions last year when rookie HC with rookie QBs when Atlanta and Baltimore were successful. Of course still think the Bills are still the 3rd best team in the division behind New England and Miami.

Kris Jenkins now in his 2nd year with the Jets? He'll be scary.
Bart Scott? Calvin Pace? Kerry Rhodes?
David Harris and Darrell Revis are good young players.
Vernon Gholston is an unknown.
Either way, they have a very solid defense (better than ours, certainly).
Offense is a question mark because of the QB and WR positions.
Tony Kornheiser is a slightly less annoying, though equally worthless, "regular guy" announcer for MNF. Or was. There's a reason he's now off the show. Relegated back to the "PTI," which jumped the shark years ago.
Exactly! I never understood the love affair with Carroll going back to the NFL. It's obvious which college coaches cheat... they are usually the pro coaches that stink. Pete Carroll, Bobby Petrino, Dennis Erickson, etc. Carroll will get busted eventually.
Regarding Sanchez, I saw most of his games. He sucked his sophomore year when he came in for Booty when Booty was injured. Last year, he was no better than Booty until the Rose Bowl, when he had a really good game. Of course, he also has the best team money can buy around him.

You mean the same Kris Jenkins whose play really fell off at the end of last year? Favre wasn't the only reason they lost games - Jenkins really fell apart. Not to mention it was one of his first years without any major injuries. I wouldn't expect that to happen again.
Pace is good. Scott is good, but he and Rhodes are not Suggs and Reed.
I think it's a little unreasonable to expect a new head coach to turn Gholston into a monster. Will he improve? Probably. Will Gholston be a big factor? No.
The Jets have a good defense, but not a great one. Not even close to making up for how bad their offense looks.

Yeah, he dominated the Rose Bowl against my Lions. But I'll tell you what - anyone could have done what he did. Basically all he had to do was throw quick outs 5-6 times in a row, then throw one down the seam.
For some reason, PSU never pressed the receivers. They never stopped the outs at all. It was enough to drive me crazy. The reason Sanchez had good numbers in the Rose Bowl was because of how bad PSU's coverage was, not because he played that well.
