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!
wow, green bay really wanted him out.... here are the terms as per nfl.com report...
It turns into a third-round pick if he plays in 50 percent of the plays this season, a second-rounder if he plays in 70 percent of the plays and the Jets qualify for the playoffs, and a first-round pick if he plays in 80 percent of the plays and Jets make it to the Super Bowl .
honestly, and no im not trying to coy it up...... but i still think you guys are barely better than us on paper, solely based on a new qb in a new system..... and all over we are a mess.
now, say 4 games into the season, obviously things may play out one way or another....

jets jets jets (insert suck for those who aren't gangreen fans)
ill believe the hype if Favre's stats are even close to what they were last year after the first couple games. until then i don't really care, other than the fact that it'll make our games against the jets a little more exciting to watch.
Do we still count on a sweep of the Jest this season?
Yep. Favre has had one good year in the last 4, he's almost as statuesque as Bledsoe was with the Bills, and he still has an uncanny knack of picking out DBs when the pressure is on. He's an upgrade for the Jets, but not enough to make any difference in the games with the Bills or Patriots.
I barely even care. Did the Jets get better? Yeah. Are they still pretty mediocre? Yeah.
Last I checked, Favre won't be complemented by Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, James Jones, a great offensive line and a wonderful defense. The Jets have an adequate RB in Thomas Jones, a really solid WR tandem (but not as good as the Packers'), a rookie TE in Dustin Keller, a middling O-line -- Alan Faneca is a great run blocker, but he gave up over seven sacks in 2007, and Damien Woody isn't his Patriot self -- and a mediocre defense.
Favre got the majority of the credit, but last year's Packers were quietly stacked; this season's Jets, even with Favre, don't appear all that impressive. Eight wins for them is my prediction. They look more like the '06 Packers than the '07 version.
