This is what it boils down too, and one of the reasons I'm not as upset as 90% of this board. Pitt is simply the better team. If they lose next week, then I'll start to panic. Until then we are 1-1, tied with everyone else in the division.
I learned that there must be 30 WR's in the league I trust more than Holmes to make a tough catch in traffic in the middle of the field ... and more times than not, those are the catches you need to keep the chains moving. I'm so tired of watching this guy let the ball hit the ground.
Our LBs are sooo slow. We have an enormous amount of money tied up to Harris, Pace and Scott and they can't get shit done on 3rd down.
Harris, Pace and Scott are painfully slow. Just brutal. No other team's LBs get stuck in the mud like this trio. Pace and Scott probably do not even belong in the NFL at this point, let alone start. I suppose Bryan Thomas falls into this bunch as well. Cannot believe he is STILL the starting OLB, which was in itself an EXPERIMENT when Abe left town after the 2005 season! It's 2012 now for crying out loud. McIntyre looks to have alot more to offer than BT, or just about any of these guys... other than Harris, who is at least a good run stuffer.
I learned our skill position players still have a long way to go, even though that's not really news. Holmes is a good #2, but he's way too inconsistent and always has been as a Jet. Hill is a raw rookie, this is to be expected from time to time, but he should be better. Kerley made a few plays. Keller is more trustworthy than Cumberland.
What was the deal with the Wildcat? They don't use it all game, then bring Tebow in for 3 in a row and then it's gone again? What kind of usage is that? I was scratching my head at that one. Is Schotty still behind the scenes directing our offense or what? I learned that Sanchez can't play after getting hit hard and that our LBs are TERRIBLE at tackling. Missed tackles killed us all game long.
1. Revis being on the field makes Cromartie a lot better than he is. Cromartie got exposed today. 2. Wilson also got exposed. He is a #3 corner at best. 3. Our CB depth after the first three is atrocious 4. We still have tackling problems. 5. We can't generate a pass rush without blitzing 6. Hill and Coples are going to be very streaky. Both will have games where they are amazing, but both will have non-existent games like today. Thats the troubles of having very talented rookies who have under performed in their college careers. 7. Our run defense is straight up dirty. 8. We don't have anyone that can catch a punt cleanly 9. Holmes needs to learn how to catch the ball 10. Keller and Revis are irreplaceable players. I hope this leads to big extensions for these two.
What I learned was that everything you guys have talked about isn't new. We all knew BEFORE the season was that the linebackers were slow. Hill was raw. Lebeau is a better coach than Ryan. And that Revis is irreplaceable. All these facts were a given BEFORE the season. Some of you guys are going to have accept this not a Super Bowl team, much less a playoff team. There are going to be alot of ups and downs this season. WELCOME BACK TO MEDIOCRITY.... It seems like we've never left.
I disagree. Keller can be replaced, just not with Konrad Reuland or Jeff Q. Cumberland. If we went out and signed or drafted a legitimate TE, Keller would be gone in a heartbeat.
They played not to lose on both offense and defense and that's the best way to lose a game against a good team on the road. They needed to go into Pittsburgh with a major chip on their shoulder and start pounding early. I think what happened instead is they got pounded. I'm pretty sure the helmet on helmet hit Sanchez took had a major effect on his ability to play for the next hour. I expect the NFL will fine Timmons in a big way.
What I read from this line is that Jets, as a whole, is a bunch of pussies. If Sanchez took dirty hit, they should retaliate in equally (if not worse) horrendous manner - take the Roethelisberger's knee out for instance. You must let them know if you fuck my team, we will fuck you back - at 2x strength if not stronger. Who gives a flying fuck about 15 yard flag? I don't? And did anyone on offense go low on Timmons after the helmet to helmet hit? As in, dirty chop block? If they do dirty shit, don't take it like little bitch. Fuck'em back. If you don't, they keep coming at you with same shit.
That Big Ben is more than country strong he is ?@?#...I don't know WTF seriously how strong can one be...
