With 17 free agents to deal with including Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, Antonio Cromartie, Brad Smith, Brodney Pool, Shaun Ellis, Tony Richardson, Drew Coleman, Eric Smith, James Ihedigbo, Steve Weatherford, and Kellen Clemens and no CBA yet. It may be a lot harder to get back to the AFCC than many seem to think.
Holy Shit thats so effin' disrespectful! ... and I'm jumping all over it. I'll take our roster over any roster in the league right now. Yes ... we'll lose some players, but the foundation of our team will still be in tact next year.
I just doubled check to make sure, it's 16/1 odds we win Super Bowl next year. They have Pats at 8/1.
I heard this AM on the radio, caller remarked that in the last 3 games, the Steelers have played a game and a half of football.
I'm just looking forward to next season. I feel that we have players that LOVE playing for us. If anyone follows twitter Braylon Edwards tweeted I believe him and I believe he loves being a Jet.
The niners made it to 5 NFC championship games in a row IIRC (though they did lose 4 of them I think)
Unfortunately, I agree. That's why I think they'll take a step back next year. They'll still be competitive under Rex, and quite probably make the playoffs as a Wildcard again, but I don't see them reaching the Championship game again. The only way I see that happening is: 1) they are somehow able to re-sign the most important of those 17 FAs; 2) one of those FAs has to be Ellis, or one or more of Pitoitua, Dixon and Gilbert or a draft pick proves to be an excellent DE; 3)they have a great draft with all those rookies making significant contributions; 4) one of those rookies is a pass rusher who winds up with 10+ sacks; 5) they'll also have to remain practically injury free; 6) Rex will have to prevent their "not showing up in games" (being flat); 7) Schottenheimer has to do a much better job with play calling, scrapping those plays that don't work, stop being so predictable, and learns to exploit opponent's weaknesses. Someone said our competition will be weaker. That's just silly. NE has a buttload of draft picks and all those young D players will have a year of experience. Baltimore and Pitt aren't going anywhere. They will have excellent drafts and fill holes/needs on their rosters. None of those teams is potentially losing key starters or role players like the Jets quite possibly will. I forget who the Steelers' GM is, but I'd take his and Ozzie Newsome's draft over Tanny's any day of the week. The Jets have their work cut out for them.
Probably actually a newbie NYJ fan who has not the foggiest idea of our current 42 year losing streak & still counting BTW. :jets:
Gambler's fallacy. The Bills made the Super Bowl 4 straight years. Three AFC Championship games in a row is not impossible.
please explain how that is disrespectful. nothing indicates a lack of a real argument more than the disrespect card.
Super Bowl futures odds are determined by where the bookmakers see the most public money. The Jets aren't a popular public team yet, so you're always going to see teams like the Patriots, Steelers, Colts, and Packers ahead of them in futures.
Not to mention the fact that Nelson and Jones each dropped a right-on-the-money TD pass from Rodgers. It shouldn't have been as close as it was, and it had little to do with the Steelers.
Sounds very close to our game. Ben sucked in the AFC Champ game too, besides the runs he had. The Jets gameplan in the second half was copied very well by the Packers. Karma is a bitch, Ben lost that game for the Steelers. For a QB that has been in that spot before he sure did look like the moment was too big.
It seemed to me that the pack could have easily won that game by 3 TD's. They were clearly the better team.
Or maybe he's choosing to embrace our new winning culture. Give it a try, it makes like more enjoyable. What are you going to do when we do win it all? I am certain that we will with our current regime.
