    15 years of misery. No play off appearance, no glory yet we chose to play it safe. I know it is the preseason. I know it is vanilla play yada yada yada. But for God's sake, can we really go against the script and try to show something on offense?

    QB draws, throws behind line of scrimmage, boring runs.

    Man oh man. I always trick myself and say that pre-season issues will be fixed when games start but they never do. Jets offenses shit the bed year after year.

    Needed to vent. Sorry.

    This is what a first time OC looks like... Frankly the team looks like they won't even match 5 wins. Good in that we'll be in the mix for a blue chip QB. Hopefully we won't fck it up again.

    Yup…this team has looked like ass in the preseason…

    I will stick to my 4-6 wins prediction for now, but I can see the wheels falling off and not even hitting 4 wins too…

    Eh the sky isn’t falling guys. Teams have looked like world beaters in the preseason and ended up being hot garbage.

    Unfortunately, teams that look like hot garbage usually are hot garbage..

    When I think of 'non-conservative' play calling, I think of the Rams Greatest Show On Turf. Air Coryell. Young, brash Joe Namath.

    Ya, I think you're right. We may be looking at a whole season of 'conservative' play calling. Our only hope is games we're down by 21 with under 5 minutes to play....maybe then we'll see Joe Namath!

    Long fall from the USFL's SBMVP, man amongst men, to getting cut by the...wait for it...NY Jets.

    There will be no joy in Mudsville

    Well when we are eliminated in early October again, we’ll be able to say, yeah, we saw it coming

    man you guys sound like a bunch of whiny cunts. i have no problem with them being a team that doesnt average 40 points per game. if you want to make the decisions then go start coaching or go get yourself a few billion and buy the team

    And to top it off they came back and made a game out of it. Sometimes people just want to be miserable…..it’s only preseason.

    I liked what I saw out of Pritchett tonight…he need to be on the final 53 come Tuesday. Nice moves - reminds me of Bruce Harper.

    This team could easily be 0-8 to start the season and even 0-11 going into the Falcons game. Until they prove they've turned the corner as a franchise I'll just keep watching red zone.

    I don’t need them to average 40 a game but at this rate 20 is going to be a struggle.

    I can agree with this. As of now I would say 20 points is the goal. The Jets could win 8-9 games if the offense can hit 20.

    It’s a work in progress. Let the OL continue to gel and the Jets need to find their long term QB this coming off season …
