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 thought today was the best the D has played all season. Kelsay was actually a force, Kyle Williams played well, and all the LBs played very well. Still can't get good pressure consistently, but I did like some of the blitzes Edwards called.
Actually, I've read a couple of different times that they switched back to a 3-4 last week, and I noticed it more this week. Not sure exactly what they changed - they may have simply told Kyle Williams, "Hey, don't bother trying to fill gaps, just shoot them."

the O still can't finish but the D did it for them.
???? Not to rain on the parade, I enjoyed the game and savored the win. Yet the D did not close the deal. They played well for 3 quarters but come the 4th, they couldn't get off the field. The Lions, rolled up 187 yards in the final period. Results were a missed field goal, a field goal and a 15 play drive for a TD to end the game. How many 4th downs did they convert on that final drive? They converted on 3. Two were for first downs and the third, for a a TD.
Offense didn't seal the deal although Fitz had a good opportunity but severely underthrew (again) Johnson deep. Lindell's missed FG was huge as well.
The Lions simply ran out of time.....
Yes, I'll take the win, but I wasn't pleased with either our 4th quarter offense, or our 4th quarter defense.
Great effort on the whole. Play like that, and we'll win more than lose.
I still don't understand how it was that Calvin Johnson was being covered by a freaking linebacker (Poz) on the almost game-tying touchdown. But other than that mistake, they do seem to be getting it together.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

the last play of the game is what sealed it. They closed the game.

Just like the kansas game or the ravens game, the O did NOT seal the game or put the nail on the coffin so to speak. They played very on those games , but they did not finish when they needed to.
Finishing the game is making plays to end the game or win at crunch time.
