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

True. This was by far his worst game. Im excited to see how he bounces back this week, especially because he also looked pretty pedestrian against the Jets last time. Doesnt hurt that I'll be at this game too!!
I think what he needs to do is get his completion percentage back above 60% like in the 1st 2 games.
What I want Hackett to do is give him some more intermediate route options. Too much check downs. Roll him out some and put him under center more with deeper drops.
Newton looks like he was a lot better. Newton made more mistakes, but he was called upon to throw a lot more (7 more attempts per game) and was able to generate a lot more yardage. He had a full 2 yards more per completion, which is why he threw for 1,847 yards to Manuel's 1,140. He blows his doors off.
They also conveniently leave off rushing yardage. Newton ran for over 200 yards and 6 TDs in his first 6 games as a pro. That compares to E.J.'s 100 yards and 0 TDs.
So, through 6 games Newton generated 13 TD's rushing and throwing, to Manuel's 6 in the same span. Yeah, he had more mistakes, but if you look at it Newton was up-and-down as a rookie. He had games where he absolutely carried his team (3 times throwing for over 300 yards and twice for over 400, accounting for multiple TD's in 5 of his first 6 games).
E.J. hasn't made a ton of mistakes, but he hasn't made a lot of plays either. He needs to be more of a play-maker, that is why he was drafted high. Newton may have struggled at times, but he has been a play-maker.
Manuel takes more sacks despite throwing much shorter passes (note the enormous disparity in yardage) and BB.com completely ignored that Newton had twice as many rushing yards and 6 TDs by that point.

I agree with this.
He needs to either not be so conservative or Hackett needs to open it up more.
People seem to totally forget that players do in fact develop. A foreign concept to many, but we've seen it all over the league and on Buffalo's roster.
It is almost like they enjoy the unreasonable pissing and moaning, I know at least a few do.
