This Aug. 4th thing with the free agent signings is rather bogus, oh well, glad we got JJ & Kuhn back

What a class act, ba-bye Randy! 😉 😛

 

[Mousse]

No worries with our new CB's...😉😎

Give us Samuel. Philly doesn't need 3 Pro Bowl CB's 😛 Come on, give Houston some love. Joseph was a nice pick up for us, but teams will just target the kid Jackson.

We're pretty stacked. I dont think we lost anybody that was unexpected. Still looking very good. Maybe pick up def lineman off waivers thats about it

I am a little concerned the Cowboys have done nothing 😕

So what else is new?
They haven't done anything for years 😀

As a Redskins fan, I'm not 😀

If KC doesn't snag Ty Warren, I could see Ted making a play for the big guy. With Pickett, Raji, Green, Neal, and the possibility of Ty.. wow, that's alot o' beef😱
Now let's see if CJ Wilson & Jarius Wynn can make the 2nd year leap

Pip down there mister. Lets make sure your Falcons can make it to the playoffs AND win one. In fact, which team was the last to win a playoff game... falcons or cowboys? Hmm..... 😀🙂😀🙂😀

Addition by subtraction - they've dumped quite a few players, many of whom the Bears have picked up.

Are you at all concerned about Ryan Grant's return after such a long hiatus?

Maybe will return the favor since Ed Wade GAVE us Hunter Pence...😀🙄😉😎

Not really because its such a pass oriented offense, I think his return will ony help us. We still have starks and kuhn who will basically be platooning with grant in the backfield but dont look for us to run the ball much. It will be a pass-run-pass-pass scheme with slight variations

Rex Ryan is borderline pathetic at this point.

"Again, I think we have to find somebody out there to beat New England besides us and I think that would help. Anybody out there that wants to sign up: Are you good enough as a team to beat the New England Patriots? Forget about us, are you good enough to go out there and beat the New England Patriots? I'm challenging the league."

Why doesn't this guy just shut the **** up and coach? Maybe he would be able to win then.

The ring count still remains Belichick 3, Ryan 0.

Eh, I don't mind him. I'm a lifelong Jets fan, and the team has been a joke for basically my entire life. It's nice to see the team get some swagger. I know it's annoying to everyone else, but to be a winner, you have to believe you're a winner. And for the longest time, even us diehard fans didn't believe. We've been waiting for the other shoe to drop.

And 2 AFC finals appearances in 2 seasons as head coach aint too shabby. Hopefully Sanchez will be more consistent at QB this year and we can finally get ourselves into a Superbowl.

I won't even comment on Belichik. 🙄

IMO ... the Jets are the team to beat in the AFC ... I believe they will get into the SB this year.

*knock on wood* I'm too superstitious to make predictions. I'm just hoping for a good, entertaining season.

 

[MacDawg]

The Jets are good enough to beat anybody in the league
They are also inconsistent enough to lose to anybody 😱

 

[rhett7660]

IMO ... the Jets are the team to beat in the AFC ... I believe they will get into the SB this year.

Or very very close again. For some reason I see the coach being more of a distraction for the players then the players themselves.

So true...They are frustrating to watch because of it. I'm hoping Mark Sanchez can be a lot more consistent on offense in his 3rd year..with 2 AFC championship games under his belt.

 

[Queen of Spades]

Here we go with the Jets again. They're certainly the champs of talking too much.

Swagger comes from winning championships, not running your mouth in training camp.

And 2 AFC finals appearances in 2 seasons as head coach aint too shabby. Hopefully Sanchez will be more consistent at QB this year and we can finally get ourselves into a Superbowl.

I think they're more likely to lose early in the playoffs than go back to the AFC championship. But hey, they could become the new version of the iggles... 4 championship game appearances, ZERO super bowl wins.

I won't even comment on Belichik. 🙄

Keep hating on Belichick. He's the best coach in the league, bar none. And he already has his one way ticket to Canton punched.

IMO ... the Jets are the team to beat in the AFC ... I believe they will get into the SB this year.

Every year the Jets are the team to beat in August. 🙄

Now that sounds like bad coaching?

Or very very close again. For some reason I see the coach being more of a distraction for the players then the players themselves.

this. except I don't know how close they'll be. there are a bunch of really good teams in the AFC.

Sanchez is grossly overrated because he plays in the New York media market. I know he's only played two years, but still.

Here's a few starting QBs first two years as starters:

QB1: 66.4% completion, 2621 yards, 17 td, 11 int, 98.1 / 62.7% completion, 2385 yards, 17 td, 9 int, 98.6 rating

QB2: 63.6% completion, 4038 yards, 28 td, 13 int, 93.8 / 64.7% completion, 4434 yards, 30 td, 7 int, 103.2 rating

QB3: 53.8% completion, 2444 yards, 12 td, 20 int, 63.0 / 54.8% completion, 3291 yards, 17 td, 13 int, 75.3 rating

QB4: 63.9% completion, 2843 yards, 18 td, 12 int, 86.5 / 62.1% completion, 3764 yards, 28 td, 14 int, 85.7 rating


3 of these guys have won super bowls (not necessarily in these years). one is mark sanchez.

Here we go with the Jets again. They're certainly the champs of talking too much.

Wait, you don't win championships by talking?

"I'm happy to be here. I'm going to be a little quiet, you won't get the same Chad you're used to and I probably won't be talking to the media much, probably not at all, really. I'm going to play ball and ride the wave, man."

Ocho already learned it... lets see how long it takes Rex.

Ummm....wow.

I believe thee doth protest too much. IE...are you trying to convince yourself or us Jets fans? Nobody has come in here and said the team was a lock for the Super Bowl. So, the coach does it...The players do it...Who cares...they're not the first team to do it and they won't be the last.

And as far as Belechik, I don't like him because of his history with the Jets, and how he's acted towards them since. A good coach does not a good person make....I'd feel the same even he coached someone other than the Pats. Obviously you have much stronger feelings towards the Jets than I have towards the Pats. A good coach does not a good person make....

The SI jinx... Nah🙄

Indeed. I still can't believe the Jets traded up 12 spots to pick up the Sanchize when they could have gotten a better QB (Josh Freeman) at their original 17th spot.😱 That 2nd round pick they lost in the trade would have been useful on offense.
