Why does everyone get so caught up in our team getting respect!? Every year it's the same thing. Who cares. Win a Division, a few playoff games a Championship and you earn respect.
This team does not deserve respect. They blew that when they lost 2 straight games to 2 sub par teams. I don't think they deserve any respect till they win a playoff game or 2.
Yep. I never understand threads like these. They're almost as bad as the Chad Love threads. Who cares what other people think? You don't become a Jet fan because you care what other people think, guys. So now that you are one, why start caring? Expecially when it comes to idiot doofus retired football players who can barely put together a complete sentence, let alone come up with quality analysis. Let it go. You'll feel much better.
This team doesn't deserve any respect right now. They've blown a couple of very easy games and our win last week was ONLY because Buffalo's coach was managing the last few minutes of the game with his head up his ass. Don't worry fans, the Jets are setting us up for another late-season heartbreak...
With the way we've been playing, why should we get any respect? Respect is earned, and we haven't earned anything!
The Jets will get respect when they earn it. Not when they go in the tank and lose the Raiders and SF on the road and get blown out by Denver at home.... OR when they couldn't cover a good high school teams WR's. You don't get respect when that's the case.
I don't know... I seems that with the less respect the Jets get, the better the team they are. Just look at all the playoffs runs in 2002, 2004, 2006, no one picked us. The seasons after, people did and we ended up with barely 4 wins. This season after the Titans game, some people said we were the best team in the AFC... Since then we lost 2 and dropped to like 15th in the league in most power rankings.
From coaching to execution to general energy and aggression on the field, this team hasn't been respectable since the Titans game.
The first 2 drives and the last 2 minutes maybe, but that's about it. Everything in the middle was predictable Jets football smelling up the joint.
Yea see what happened when the media started talking about us to much and we were topic of every conversation ...they go out and lose two str8 in horrible fashion and almost blew the 3rd to end the season. Id rather them not say Sh*t bout us and just fly under the radar right into the PO's.
Haha me too. When they earn the respect, they'll get it. They have to prove to me that they're ready for prime time. Until then I'm just enjoying the season. I get to see my favorite althlete of all time play for my favorite sports team of all time. Respect as a team? Not just yet.
I've thought about this once or twice, actually. The only benefit of the doubt I can give them, which is a MAJOR stretch, is they have a limited play book even at this point, and try not to show all of their cards at once. But, I still think they just lose focus.
heck, i don't respect them right now with the way they are playing. They got the respect after the Tennesee game as it was well deserved, they way they are playing..they don't deserve it. IMO they are ranked 3rd in the East, behind Miami and New England. Considering what those teams have gone through..the JETS need to play better. PERIOD.
The Jets have been getting respect all year even if they haven't played well. Take the guys on NFL Network, Deion Sanders thinks the Jets are going to win the division simply because of Favre while he said NE would come close. When asked about the Dolphins he siply stated and i quote "You can't trust them". A couple of weeks ago they were talking about the Jets as the best team in the AFC possibly.
