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!
Indy lost in spite of Chan trying everything he could to will them to victory with his ridiculous conservative play calling. It should have never gotten to 10-7 before Buddy Nix called him to wake him up. Anyone who thinks Chan is such a great offensive mind should be put in a room & made to watch Chan trying to run out the clock with a 10 point lead & almost blowing the game. He would have succeeded if Luck wasn't the Jets 12th man tonight.
Fitzpatrick looked like a legit QB in that game. Jets' run game looked bad. Their defense was good. Gave up a few running plays, but passing they really shut Luck down. Will be interesting to see how Indy reacts in the coming weeks.
Still happy with the win, myself.

The Colts played some truly ugly football. The kicker was fumbling the ball untouched on the goal-line with an easy walk-in touchdown to be had.
But it's also clear that the Jets are a lot better than they were last year. Best situation Fitzy has ever been in, probably. Thanks a lot, IK what's-your-face for breaking Geno's jaw...I'd rather see HIM in there.
It's a long season, though, so it's a little too early to be drawing conclusions.
At the same time, the Colts' #2, 3, and 4 CBs were out to start the game, and their #1 CB was out of the game before halftime with a concussion. Talk about a deleted secondary...and we know Chan likes to have four WRs out there in his scheme.
I am rooting for Fitz. I feel a bit dirty considering that he is a Jet but nonetheless I am rooting for him. Very nice and funny guy and give his all here especially considering his talent.
Shaving his head when Stevie was about to sign his extension was awesome. That was the last time the Bills O looked like an NFL team. Let's hope this year our O also steps up.
Jets are now ahead of the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. Let that sink in.
And the national media downplayed the Bills win over Indy.....it was less about the Bills being good than the Colts having deteriorated in the off-season. That idea has more traction now after a humiliating loss to the lowly Jets during their home opener and they're now 0-2. BTW, the Jets defense held Indy to even fewer points than the Bills defense.
Here's a scary thought.... what if the post-Rex Ryan Jets are better this year than when Ryan was coaching them? What will the talking point be then?
Admittedly, I only watched the first half, but what the...? Legit QB? LOL Did he do something in the second half to warrant that? Or have the Bills so lowered your bar for for the position that he clears it?
OK now let's not get crazy. Fitz missed so many throws so badly it's just like the way he was in Buffalo. He's NOT a legit QB.
Yup. We have 11 years of stats on Blitzpatrick; 2 decent games (QBR of ~94 for both) are not enough to set aside 11 years of empirical data; and that data clearly shows he is NOT a starting caliber QB. He's only averaged ~200 yards in the past two games; and these aren't the best teams he's facing either.
When he was "starting" in Buffalo, he'd have a decent game or two...but then he'd be wildly inconsistent and have a horrid game.
The most logical conclusion to his 'success' in the past two games; the Jets weren't facing very good opponents.
This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
per play average than the Bills' offense!
OK now let's not get crazy. Fitz missed so many throws so badly it's just like the way he was in Buffalo. He's NOT a legit QB.
Where did I say he was a legit QB? I said he looked like one.
And yeah, feldspar, I know Indy had a bunch of CB's out. That obviously helped the Jets, given that whenever Fitz didn't make the throw, they called the Indy DB for holding.
