I get that it's NY, and by default NY teams are always going to be scrutizined, but it seems that the Jets take it worse than any other team in the league. They haven't won anything of significance in the last few years yet the media harps on the Jets as if they're the Yankees buying championships left and right. Just curious as to what your guys' thoughts are on the subject.
when you do the things we have done under Rex the media will pile on when things don't go right. Look at the bright side, we are relevant which we have rarely been in our history.
I'd say it's because Rex talks so much and makes these grandiose guarantees. Giants rarely talk, and therefore rarely get talked about.
That's the thing though - what does the media want Rex to say instead? That they're not going to win the Super Bowl each year? Every head coach in the NFL - from the Patriots down to the Rams - should be reasonably confident of winning the VLT each and every season. Otherwise, why even bother showing up for games?
^why you got to do the rams like that, stop with the brianless schotty bashing! :lol: When you're easy to pick on, people pick on you. This is the year everything changes. Last season, was a good thing; a wake up call for Rex Ryan and his New York Jets. Today, is a new day with new opportunities and I like where we are flying. NYJ goals: 1) AFCE title. 2) AFC title. 3) SB title
Plenty of teams have sucked for longer and never won. We just put ourselves out there and don't back it up and we are a NY team and the national media hates NY teams. I am a Yankee fan, trust me, we are hated but we win.
Are you kidding, the media loves the Jets! The Jets moves the needle! The Jets are the most interesting team in the NFL. The media thanks God for the Jets, we keep them busy! Dont let the negativaty fool you! They secretly love us! We got a head coach who kicks ass and is now sexy! A QB who bangs supermodels, our back up QB is a prophet sent by god and has magic! Our wide reciever is a diva who wants to be the head coach, and our second best receiver is not even a receiver! We got story lines up the ass! The other teams are boring. The media loves us and we love them! Any publicity is good publicity!
The media is pretty lazy and just copies what everyone else does. So if it's popular for whatever reason to rag on the Jets then they will all rag on the Jets.
Honestly, I'm a lifelong Jets Darksider who for most of my life I have kinda agreed with an honest media report that would critique the Jets...Even the past 2 years with Super Bowl talk I looked at the Jets as a team with flaws yet a punchers chance and hoped to see 9-10 wins.... For the 1st time in my life I feel like the criticsm is Off the wall and ridiculous at times... And to me, it's going to make every win that much sweeter. At this point I'm just taking down names and predictions and I can't wait to rub people's faces in their own shit. I think a lot of people are taking what happened next year as a trend - to me that was worst case scenario.... Only injuries will help prove them right... But, I would love it if guy's like Evan Silva would allow me to place a bet on their 4-6 win predictions. I'll bet on that right now - name the price, show some balls.
Oh.. And they certainly take their que from the local Mediots..... Also - IMO Mike Florio built his career off Jets fans - We're passionate - Say some ### about the Jets and we come out en masse..... This is all about the Florio Model and Getting "Hits" - Fire up Jets fans and flood your site and TV show with passion - and that's all that matters - they take advantage of some of the most passionate fans in Sports to make a buck, that's all it is..... Florio would still be some little prick with a rinky dink web site if not for jets fans
It's not that the media hates us, but the Jets make it easy for them to create buzzworthy "news". ESPN is broadcasting from Jets camp all week, because they're entertaining. Rex, Tebow, Holmes, and now Cromartie make it easy to have one team that creates a storyline and buzz for the upcoming season. And if they have negative opinions, that's what they get paid for, and the more buzz a reporter creates, the better for their careers. Can't hate
If Schotty doesnt bench Holmes theres no story. Sure you see him jarring with Hunter but you dont know what happend and the media has nothing. Teams go through this locker room division every year but the media doesnt know about it dont even ask about it, but because Holmes got benched everyone rushes to his and everyone elses locker and has a million questions. Bad move Schotty, bench hunter no one would care if he got benched and just assume it was a sub, but hey it doesnt really matter. Fuck the media if it really bothered our players they wouldnt be making millions a year. Talk all the shit you want ass clowns come talk to me in october
We are just as easy as target before RR & TT got here. Let see there was Lou Holtz, Charley Winner, The Michaels affair, Pick U nose Joe Walton, Who can forget Kotex? Bruce Coslet, Herm, Eric. Quite a collection Heh? :sad:
Because they won SB3 and destroyed the good-ole boy NFL as they knew it. They have always hated the Jets, this isn't new.
some head coaches use that as "Us-Against-The-World" tactic but in fan-base? I don't even have a slightest clue.
lol on nfl network one of the guys just says "I think Tebow and Sanchez will both be gone after this season" The media is a joke
