NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

I've got a confession to make, I WAS a Dolphins fan because the ship that I was working on, pulled into Miami every week, this was the Don Shula era with Dan the man Marino and the Marks Brothers, but then I got married and moved to Minnesota, where I lived for twenty years, so I kind of migrated over to the Vikes, I would never do it to football though, that's for life. I'm also a big Twins fan, we won two world series while I was living there, not bad for a small market team.

Kirbyyyyyyyyyyyyy Puckett.

the pressure on Dan Quinn just got bigger, now taking over DC play calling as well as the head coach duties

Feeling is that Quinn might get a free pass with Daniels out for most of the season.

Quinn hasn't covered himself in glory this term, as you know, TM. But he can justifiably say that he'll be without his biggest asset on the pitch.

Taking over defensive play-calling will probably help. Providing he's not still trying to do too much elsewhere on the training ground. He's an excellent defensive mind, and you've been leaking points recently. It's what Saleh should have done sooner at the Jets.

Daboll is yet another of the league's over-promoted co-ordinators.

It has been obvious for a while that he's a decent offensive co-ordinator and not a HC. That leap from co-ordinator to HC is getting bigger in my view.

[RBshorty]

Hur FUCKING rah.!
Same Shit. Different Day.
GO G MEN.

[Takashi Miike]

Daboll gone

As I always say about the New York team’s. You can stink. Just as long as it isn’t as bad as the other guy.! Now you’re mob have ran up the white flag. That gives them a free pass at it going forward. No such joy this side of East Rutherford.! Honestly. Mara must be on the blower to Sullivan every other hour.? “Hi Dave. How can I. And my offspring fuck up this club anymore?. Because we don’t have too worry about relegation type nonsense. So we can pissoff the fanbase as much as we want.!”

Anyway.
GO G MEN.

Realistically, can only see us winning two more games, at the most, this season.

The victory over the Browns was coming off a bye week, so fresh legs against a poor side. Now we go into games against the Patsies (x2), Ravens, Bills etc for most of the remainder of the season. We've got two winnable-looking games - against the Fish and the Saints.

So we're looking at 4-13 and, possibly, 3-14 to set the low bar for an early draft pick. One of about 14,000 first and second rounders that we now hold. And will probably waste.

[southbankbornnbred]

There's always a win against the Browns to remind you that the Jets are only as bad as those clusterfucks.

Great performance by Will McDonald - 4 sacks.

[Takashi Miike]

I've luckily missed a few of the games this season, I've no doubt we're the worst team at the current time in the whole league. We're now in a dilemma where Quinn will be trying to win games to keep his job, while we'd be better off continuing to tank

[Far Cough UKunt]

Fuck it!

[RBshorty]

Even we can't stuff it up from here surely?
Go 'fins!

No one. Had that on their Bingo Card. (Someone cleaned up.?) Pats are going to walk that division this year.

[RBshorty]

Bears given an easy win.  Gaboll gone. And Dart now injured. Every Fucker is just rubbernecking.! Mara do the humane thing and put the coaching stuff in concrete boots and throw the fuckers into the Hudson. Now it's a race for the Top Pick next spring.

GO G MEN.

Indiana Jones takes Berlin. Hasn't had this much adventure since The Last Crusade.!

GO G MEN.

The Dallas Cowboys player Marshawn Kneeland has died aged 24.  In his final game on Monday night, he scored his first career touchdown in the Cowboys’ 27-17 defeat against the Arizona Cardinals.

"On November 6, the Texas Department of Public Safety announced that Kneeland was involved in a police chase the night before, however the chase was terminated after losing sight of Kneeland's car. The vehicle was later found abandoned after being involved in a crash. Kneeland was found in the immediate area of the accident with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His death remains under investigation."

I think breece hall is another, very talented player on your roster. You also have to question the new head coach's judgement, that's even if he was consulted on those moves yesterday. If he wasn't, he maybe needs to get on the phone to dan campbell and head back to detroit

Hall is an excellent running back. But he’s been easier to block while we have a QB who takes too long to make his reads and throw the ball. Defenses just step forward a meter and block up the inside lines to stop the run. Because Fields can’t get past his first receiving option. So we’ve over-used our runners.

They’re good (Hall and Allen etc), though. Kansas offering only a 4th round pick for him was taking the piss. I’m glad we told them to fuck off. Even our stupid leadership aren’t THAT stupid.

The serious point is that too many NFL fans - especially Jets fans - get over-excited at the thought of having multiple first-round picks.

It's just not compensation for losing really good players. Invariably, if even a good NFL side has five 1st rounders, they will waste a couple of them on over-rated, over-scouted rookies. It's just the way of it. One might be good and two might be great.

But we had two great players on the squad just yesterday. So what will we have gained, really?

The "jam tomorrow" "rebuild" is what snake oil salesmen hide behind when they have no idea what they're doing. (Or, in this case, Johnson & Johnson baby oil salesmen).

Sorry, sbbb.  Made me chuckle the way the kid immediately wanted to follow the Colts.  Probably for the best. 

Ag ag ag!

Love that kid: at least he gives a shit. Few people inside that organisation do.

That foot stamp said everything!

Can't believe how passive Jets fans have been about yesterday's ridiculous trades. And the Jets have one of the more active, critical fan bases.

Two massive cock-ups that ensure the franchise won't be competitive until 2028 at the earliest (when the stockpile of rookie draft picks runs out). It was like selling Rice, Bowen and Paqueta on the same day - and then trying to tell everybody it's for the common good.

Basically, if that was West Ham, we would have been hurling coins and drinks at the board etc.

Goes to show how US sport is far less visceral and interventionist. And how the Jets have just been run into the ground by Woody Johnson. Even angry Italians from New Jersey have given up.

The "jam tomorrow" "rebuild" is the easiest thing in the world to promise in sport. And it almost never works. Doing the hard yards, building your team slowly, appointing the right coaches, having the right blend of rookies, experience and veterans...that's how you win in the NFL. Not the "rip it up and start again" bollocks that the Jets have been doing every couple of years since 1999.

I'm still fuming.
