Give Seattle fans a break, they have been a after thought for 35 years of NFL football. But not only NFL but all Pro sports.
This was the stupidest comment in this thread and I am pretty sure it wasn't from me.
Delusional NY fan who thinks the world revolves around NY. Did you happen to see the GB vs 49er game in week 1? And how many people were picking the 49ers to beat Seattle in week 2? The 49ers came into Seattle on top of the world and the Seahawks kicked their ass back down to Earth...again.
The Jets are improved, but they are not a good team. On the upside, it looks like 8-8 might win the AFC East, so the playoffs are not out of the realm of possiblity.
Though the Jets are not the worst team in the league like the experts picked at the beginning of the season they arent this good either. Lets be honest they should have lost against Bucs a cheap penalty gave them the win. The Bills have a terrible defense and even worst secondary. So Geno is going go to be throwing 70 yard bombs on everyone.. Only the Bills are bad enough to let them do that.
What has the 2013 49ers done this season... they got demolished in 2 games, they are not playing well and there is no arguing that... so they are a bad team right now... even if they make the playoffs and become a good team you still played a good team playing bad, which is the same thing as a bad team... Until seattle plays a tougher schedule you can not diminsh how the Jets have played by saying that they have an easy schedule... as of now the Jets have played a tougher schedule and it is proven by the 2 more wins that those teams have...
I like how you spun a SB favorite (49ers) that beat the Packers in week 1 into a bad team. They are playing bad now, but you don't think Seattle had anything to do with that? Blowout losses when key players get injured tends to change the effectiveness of said team. We will just have to agree to disagree now and maybe meet up again later in the year to see who was closer to the correct prediction. I'm out.
And hte bucs got lucky that a WR went uncovered at the end. So did the Patriots last week.
I think the Jets offense is definitely better than last season, like I have been saying. We massively upgraded at OC. Marty Mornhinweg has CONSISTENTLY coached top 10 offenses over his career as a OC. Bad defense or not, this was the first time in Rex's 4 years here that we have had 500+ yards of offense in a game.
Geno Smith makes dumb mistakes, but hes also ultra confident and isn't afraid to make the throws required to make big plays. His arm will allow the Jets WRs to get YAC, something Sanchez held them back from doing.
Our defense is the best its been since 2009. This DL is really really good. And that is no fluke. Sheldon Richardson looks like a future all pro at DT. Muhammad Wilkerson is pretty dominant. Damon Harrison was a huge find and has been great at NT. Our LBs are faster than they have been. David Harris looks so much better than he has the past couple of seasons. DeMario Davis has looked great so far and looks like a improvement over Bart Scott. Another underrated thing is Rex Ryan is back calling the plays on defense, first time since 2009 when we had the #1 defense. They are back to getting after it and besides one fluke run by Fred Jackson (Pace should of had him TFL), they have been dominant against the run and creating pressure. Our run defense wasn't good the past 2 years.
I have no clue what that means... I made no predictions!!! is this your way of leaving since you know you made a fool of yourself??
OK, one more to clarify. You said the Seahawks schedule was easier than the Jets, so we'll see later in the year when we really find out who had the tougher schedule. If spinning your way into making the Jets schedule look better than it is means I am a fool, than so be it, I can live with that.
But that is irrelevant to what i am calling you out on... I am calling you out on as a Seahawks fan, diminishing what the Jets have done solely because they have had a bad schedule so far(that was your comment). The seahawks have played at best an equally bad schedule... None of us Jet fans believe that we are going to be a playoff team, and none of us think that we are better than the seahawks(not even close)... But dont come into a thread diminishing a team using a fact where your team is not much better in... It is like me going into a 49ers thread and saying that they suck because they have been playing very sloppy this season, it might be true, but it is the same for my team...
LOL They look much improved. Rex has them playing some good feetball.
Breaking News..
The refs just threw another flag on the Jets....
15 yd penalty...for exceeding everyone's expectations to this point...
Replay 2nd down.
CBS Sports:
"Does 2-1 mean Rex Ryan is going to start getting his swagger back? I hope so. They were penalty-heavy on Sunday but the Jets defense is for real, especially up front. Don't rush back, Mark Sanchez. Geno Smith 's got this. Getting Santonio Holmes back helps. "
