The Jets Suck?

[neauone]

Already the ESPN and Sport writing experts and commentators have the Jets already losing the entire season. Let me get something straight, the Jets may not have the "healthy or experienced" personnel to win the S.B. But this is a team that will not quit. Granted they have issues, Tebow didn't make matters easier with the circus that follows him around. But this is a team that if they can somehow put enough wins together with the defense it has to knock any team off in the first round or later. The issue will be if they can generate enough points to make it to that level. So for all the experts, kiss off. The Jets "were" a team built to win now. Since then they have turned a corner and they are rebuilding, starting with the defense which was old and slow. Next year I can see them going offense and grabbing some major players or two. Sanchez has to solidify his place as the Jets QB and leader. How the hell anyone can say who is going to have a bad season with the exception of the cellar dwellers year after year is beyond me. The Steelers were supposed to be lost without Big Ben, but they managed to hang on and make the playoffs. Gimme a break. I hope this team makes them eat their words and they have to show themselves to be nothing more than blow hards with no football knowledge in the least.

Heres the problem, the media looks at this team and sees its offensive struggle in the preseason and assumes massive failure. If you look at the actual talent on this team and compare it to the schedule we have this season theres no reason to expect under 9 wins. I'll tell you one thing, opening up with a win against Buffalo is a MUST. I dont care if we loss to PITT and SF early on, but winning our 2 division games early in the year are so important because the schedule gets very easy after the NE games. Its definitely going to be a bumpy road to start, but we have pretty easy road games against JAX, TEN, SEA and STL. I honestly think its going to come down to buffalo in week 16 and could see us both being 9-6 going into that game fighting for 6th seed.

I've just become annoyed with the whole Tebow thing because it prevents actual critical analysis of the team as a whole.

Media members would sooner engage in absolutely absurd tracking of QB stats in training camp and look at the numbers without any semblance of context(a lot of injuries at receiver, skill of Jets defense, it's practice) than look at and analyze the entire team.

If someone asked me what I've heard about how Shonn Greene is performing in camp, or Dustin Keller, I honestly couldn't tell them. If they asked me if D'Brickashaw Ferguson looked like he had improved over his slump last season, I couldn't tell them that either. What to make of John Conner? Not a clue. What UDFAs have a shot to make the roster? Shrug of the shoulders.

Whereas five years ago it was cool to me whenever the Jets would be talked about on ESPN, but now I've basically just boycotted all of their NFL coverage because when it comes to the Jets they're only talking about one thing.

I actually love when everyone thinks the team is going to suck, the Jets seem to do better whenever there is doubt. When people expect something they do the opposite.

If we get through the first 5 weeks ok, we will make the playoffs. Our D is insane this year, and our offense will improve. The only thing that bothers me is the Tebow mess. I got us down as a 9-10 win team this year. On paper, the Bills might have the best defense in our division which is not saying much when you compare it to Miami's and NE's. We will be fine.

The defense should be in the top 3. If the offense can play top 20 and we play disciplined well coached football we should be able to manage 10 wins. And that should be good enough for a WC. Like others said we need to come out and smash Buffalo which we know we've done the past 3 years. But we can't underestimate them and the coaches need the team focused. Coaching will play a large role in this teams success/failure this season.

The core of these guys have been there before. They know what it takes. Lessons need to be learned from 2011.

Who cares? I hardly read sports section anymore because it is abundantly clear that they have no intention in reporting stories that matter or have substance but are looking to post stories that that sell papers. I read the headlines and a few stories that catch my interest and a few reporters who do a good job. Other than that I don't really care.

Also stop watching E!SPN, it is beyond awful

[perikirest]

Woody's comment on CNBC made it very clear that Tebow was handcuffed to the Jets by this meddling owner.

I've tried as hard as I can to wish it weren't so, but when the owner comes out and says something so ridiculous as that than it's hard to ignore what is obvious.
