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!
Brien will still be kicking or should I say attempting field goals for the Jets next year. Everyone knows how hard it is to kick field goals at Heinz Field. I think the longest ever is like 47.
Remember the Bills-Vikings game in '02? Remember how we had the chance at the comeback win, the missed extra points? Remember who was kicking for the Vikes at the time? Remember who was fired after the game?
Yep, Doug Brien. Ever since then I've thought he was a crappy kicker. He's proven me right over and over...

He still had a great year last year and a good one this year.
You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
How many days do you think it will take before Brien is released?
I say given the New York media's pressure, he will be gone on Tuesday.
Any coach or organization that makes personell issues based on knee-jerk emotions after a loss deserves the first pick of the draft year after yrear after year.
If Brien is under contract and th cap figure isn't large (he's a kicker so it can't be that much) then you draft and /or see who's out there in FAcy. If you get a comperable vet then you release him- or hold a competition in camp.
If you cut the guy now all you do is raise the price on whomever you bring in. A vet kicker's agent could squeeze more out of the Jets since they won't have anyone to fall back on.
