I don't give a shit about stats. Stat counting is for fantasy football and for losers who want to focus on something other that the fact that their favorite team is for shit. Sanchez has gotten us to two AFC Championship Games. Everything else pales in importance.
NFL.com's writing is such a joke, I am surprised that the league allows their official site to be so filled with garbage. It should be Pat Kirwan and Gil Brandt writing for the site, not Adam Rank and these other losers who never played a down of football. They have fantasy football geeks writing most of their content....which is exactly why we see this crap.
Spot on. Great point. I was real worried going into the Eagle game because of the matchups but I'm pretty confident the matchups are in the Jets favor this week. Without Eli this team is playing out the string. He has played great and masked alot of flaws for this team. They do nothing real well but rush the passer and even that can be inconsistent for them and thier D is atrocious even against average offenses. No Bradshaw and Jacobs is hot and cold. The Jets have the corners to take away the Giants outside guys and there is no TE threat on this team (Ballard is out) to give our safeties and LB's fits. Stop killing themselves with turnovers, give Hunter help when they do throw, don't get down early and run the ball effectively and the Jets will be just fine in this game.
Why do Jets fans continue to think that "getting to" two AFC Championship games is some sort of great accomplishment? How many of those games this the Jets win? There are three things you can "win" in the NFL: 1. You can win your division. 2. You can win your conference championship. 3. You can win the Superbowl. The Jets have done none of those things. They haven't won squat. Yet, Rex Ryan gets behind the podium, talks shit, farts, belches...and somehow convinced Jets fans that they won something. I'm a Jets fan. WIN SOMETHING! ANYTHING! Just win something, please, THEN talk shit.
stopped reading after this so called "writer" gave Flaco a free pass because his offensive line was struggling. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This guy was def watching the broncos game instead of the jets.
hm. no, i don't agree that winning a division is more prestigious than getting to the AFCCG. i think the jets, despite having no division titles, have clearly done better than the two-time AFCE-"winning" pats during the ryan era. likewise, i don't agree that winning ONE conference championship carries more weight than PLAYING in TWO conference championships. basically, i see your point, but i don't agree that there are "three things" you can win. there is only one. the super bowl. failing that, you either make the playoffs (good), or you don't (bad). division titles mean home playoff games, and for me, that's the extent of their value. by my reckoning, the Jets have done every bit as well over the past two years as every team but the Saints and the Packers.
Just stick with Brandt. Kirwan's recent articles have been shit. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82533c35/article/season-goes-south-in-a-new-york-minute-or-two
How many championship games have you seen in your lifetime? I've been watching the Jets since 1981, and I can count four. Sanchez has quarterbacked us into two in the last two years. Would you prefer that he was the QB for a Jets team that missed the playoffs his first two years?
If Sanchez even wins a Super Bowl with us, everyone will be saying how the defense and run game carried him and we were lucky only to win by (enter score difference) because (enter wr) made spectacular catches and the other team dropped interceptions. We would also have gotten lucky because (injured opponent) didn't play. Oh and how his completion wasn't the magical 60%
Wasn't the case with these guys: Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Ken Stabler, Phil Simms, and lots of others.
Ban him for what exactly? Everything he said is true and not at all offensive or unnecessarily confrontational. Everyone here wants the Jets to actually win something, but unfortunately it has not happened....yet. The success the past couple of years has definitely been very positive and promising, but I'm with the poster on this one in that I don't believe falling short two years in a row warrants a circle jerk. Getting to the playoffs and playing in the AFCCG is very nice and all, but you'll have to forgive some of us who believe this team can do better and hold it to higher to a higher standard since Rex has been here.
It's utterly ridiculous though. To invent some imaginary standard of excellence and criticise the team for falling short of it is daft. The last two seasons have been the best two year run for this team in 40 years and if we manage to make the playoffs this year it will be the first time in the history of the franchise we've made the postseason in back-to-back-to-back years. Our quarterback is setting team records, we're winning more than we're losing and people still need something to complain about. If you look at the team objectively it's not that good, so enjoy watching them trying to make the playoffs and if we get in then try and enjoy the run while it lasts. What's the point in following the team if you can't enjoy anything short of blowout wins and championships? You're going to spend a lot of time miserable and angry if that's your perspective.
