    Pay attention and follow closely, lol. Not being mean or anything, but this is just mindless and fairly pointless. I get what you're saying, but you're putting crap icing on a fairly shitty cake when it comes to what's going to bite the Jets in the ass this year. I am so pumped about Darnold I can hardly breathe, but knock-knock, who's there? Reality. Just sayin'.

    As others have said, I don't care abdout the W/L in preseason. I DO care about whether the team is jelling and improving. By Game 3, against our perpetual crosstown rival, we should see something approaching regular season form from the starters. Is that what we saw? If so, that doesn't bode well for the regular season.

    We all knew that the OL and pass rush would be mediocre, at best, but I for one was hopeful that there would be some measurable improvement over last year. I mean there were some personnel changes, and new coaches, a change to zone blocking, and so on. But for all of that, not much seems to have changed...sort of like the deck chairs were rearranged, but the name on the ship is still Titanic. (Incidentally, the original name of the Jets was the Titans - coincidence?).

    Anyway, maybe Bowles & Co, were just playing things close the vest, and keeping the REAL improvements under wraps to surprise everyone in the regular season. But the old saying "You play like you play like you practice" comes to mind, and if the preseason is considered "practice", we're not going to see much difference when it counts.

    I'm thrilled at Darnold's development, and it looks like we FINALLY have that FQB we've been waiting decades for, but I'm troubled that the same issues this team has had under Bowles are still there.

    The preseason isn't meaningless. The W/L records basically are, but the preseason is important to determine who can play, what schemes/plays work, etc. By Game 3, vs. the Giants, I would expect to see performances close to regular season from the starters (and CS). Is that what we saw? I hope that's not true.

    I can tell you know nothing about the streets, stick to that office work with that 9 to 5 making about 1,000 a week because im about to get signed ands thats all that matters in my eyes, I guess I got a record deal thats about to pay me because they already know what I bring to the table. Most cats that rap just rap...Me, I have the whole city thats pushing their white boy to the limit.

    Has nothing to do with being white/black, we call the Cops c-r-a-c-k-e-r-s


    I get over 50 messages a day from Artists around St.Pete/Tampa/Orlando and Miami who's been supporting me in this rap game and thats all that matters. I'm about to drop by June-July of this year, and when this **** drops... it's a wrap. All you need is street support down here and FLorida and it's about 100% that your gonna walk away from this **** with millions in the bank, just ask Plies and T-Pain and Ace Hood and the funny thing is...Im about to start working in the same studios and with the same cats that made it happen for these dudes. Hate all you want, say what you say, it happens to everyone but the fact of the matter is this...People that hate will be some of my biggest supporters...As far as money goes, so put it this way...Thanks for all the hate, keep it up, this is why I made this thread...I love the Lames who hate.





    This is just one message from a cat who has mad talent as far as a producer goes...It's going down. And for the dummys around here, read the message from bottom to top-not top to bottom

    And to lecture that folks should “pay attention” as they cluelessly repeat the same straw man bullshit over and over is pathetic.

    All you can do is laugh.

    you are exactly right.
    trying to generate a pass rush by blitzing safeties, corners, or linebackers is risky and leaves part of the secondary vulnerable.
    the long pass last noght over the left cprner was becuse he had no safety help deep, he was blitzing.
    the special teams looked like absolute dog doo doo, and the o-line was just as bad.
    they should cut down to 43 players right now, and then scan the waiver wire for ten guys who can actually play, since we only have one average, at best, left tackle and no pass rushers.

    Poor coaching ...Poor Special Teams Play.... A team that is not psyched to play their crosstown rivals IS NOT MEANINGLESS

    Bowles and his coaching have been and will be meaningless going forward

    DWC,

    Appreciate your contribution to the board. But you are basically soliciting a fiight with this sentence. I was pissed yesterday. And I expressed my dislike a few times. Why do you call it knee jerk reaction? I didn't say sky was falling. All I did was to point the ineptness I saw on the field and on the sidelines. Please my friend. Don't try to provoke people. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. This is a forum. Knee jerk reactions are part of the deal. People will be emotional and they will express their thoughts.

    Most of what you say is accurate and I agree with but I have a serious issue with this team's poor ST play and the amount of penalties. IMHO this team should be crisper and they aren't ...
