we've had chances which is more than most of the pre 00s years. The '68 team needed 1 win to make the SB and they played it at home against a team that beat them in the reg season and had a better record. We were fortunate, it's not like we were a dynasty, we made one run that was perfectly catered to us. 1960-2000(41 seasons): 8 playoff seasons(20%) 6 playoff wins 2001-2011(11 seasons): 6 playoff seasons(55%) 6 playoff wins
I don't have a problem with a non football guy being a GM, as long as he gets advices on football from people who actually know what they're taking about. I think Rex, and apparently the scouting dept, is too confindent on guys with a lot of athleticism and potential but with a high potential bust rate... it would be nice if the new VP of scouting (since Clinkscales left) were to be a bit more down to earth and looking for football players instead of projects.
That's all great and good but this franchise is a joke now and the laughingstock of the NFL (according to every media outlet that exists today). Every NFL talking head says our QB has been awful this year. How long do you want to have an awful QB starting for this team? Would you rather the Jets win or would you rather say I told you so about Sanchez? Anybody with a pair of eyes who knows football can see that he is a shitty QB who can't make any throws and crumbles in the pocket even when he has decent protection. Can't have both.
we are having a bad year, it happens. Have you noticed GB and the Saints are struggling too? except they aren't missing their best defensive players and their best playmakers on O.
Some posters here have no problem being obstinate and stuck in the mud. They confuse loyalty with a virtually willful refusal to acknowledge facts that are contrary to the theories and assumptions that lay under their original position. Rather than view that position in a logical way, as a theory that is subject to testing and the need to resolve how contrary facts can lead to an alteration of that starting position, they just dig in their heels and recite over and over what they think still supports their position, ignoring those contrary facts. Perhaps there is some dynamic in the personal histories of such people that explains this kind of dysfunction. An unloving mother perhaps, or a distant or even absent father. Who knows? But the dysfunction is clear.
Who cares, Johnson and Johnson is such a despicably large corporation that there is no way Woody Johnson didn't do some terrible things to get where he is. Compound that with the fact that he knows jackshit about football and is running my favorite team, I really wouldn't miss him if he died.
We have been a consistently underperforming franchise with the exception of one year. Joe only had two winning seasons with the Jets ('68 & '69). And he won a grand total of two playoff games. Granted, one of those was SB III, so he will be forever revered for that moment, but the Jets have never been a consistent winner. Just the way the whole Belichick thing played out is typical of the Jets.
