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

I don't even have to think about it that hard, but yeah, that's right. And it's pathetic. Are there any other teams out there with that kind of streak?

Schopp just mentioned that on WGR right now.

Kolb has thrown for 2 this season thus far.
One of those against the Saints.
And those were Kolb's only career starts. He is 2 for 2 right now.
Re: 39 Straight Games with No 300 Yard Passing Games
If he threw the ball in the endzone we might have won.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Passing yards may be the most overrated stat in football. The stat a winning team wants is rushing yards.
Really? Did the Cardinals or the Steelers rely on running games to make it to the Super Bowl?
Passing yards stats are not overrated. They show how well your QB can respond when his number is called. When the run game is not working, when the game needs to be won through the air, when a team is down 2 scores, you're not going to rush your way back into the game. I'd rather Edwards put up yards and utilize our starting WR's that cost 1 MILLION DOLLARS A WEEK combined and us lose by 20 than Edwards not able to complete a single meaningful pass to a starting WR and lose by 2.

I'd rather win.
A team that's down two scores late in the game is usually going to lose. A team that throws a lot usually does so because they're losing.
Here are the top-rushing teams from last year and their records:
1. Giants 12-4
2. Falcons 11-5
3. Panthers 12-4
4. Ravens 11-5
5. Vikings 10-6
6. Patriots 11-5
7. Titans 13-3
Here are the top-passing teams from last year and their records:
1. Saints 8-8
2. Cardinals 9-7
3. Broncos 8-8
4. Texans 8-8
5. Colts 12-4
6. Eagles 9-6-1
7. Chargers 8-8
I guess that must be a coincidence that the top rushing teams win more.
