Did we run it up ? Who the fuck cares this team has been retarted on offense the last 40 years!!! Eat IT CARDINALS! Favre aint alowing the same Ol Jets tag
yep when the other team is making a come back it is not considered classless to score more points for your team
For Jets, it is. Jets should allow the other team to come back, then roll over and give the game away. *I'm so sick of these morons and imbecilles, who don't even understand football yet had a nerve to talk about it. Running up the score? My ass.*
I just felt like they were trying to get as many reps in as possible. I honestly feel like they were more concerned about speeding up the chemistry aspect of things towards the end. In game experience is so valuable, you are up big, why not try as many back breaking plays as you can? Even the two point conversion made me believe they were just doing it to get that extra play in for this offense. Nothing more. You obviously take that experience away if you just kick the field goal, we all know our kicker situation sucks and it probably will not change anytime soon, so why not work around something that will change for the better? Makes sense to me...
Anybody who knows the Jets, and knows the way the Jets lose games, knows we were not running up the score. We won that game by a good margin, but we didn't put it away until the final TD we scored.... And even then, I was biting my nails...
if i were the cards, i'd rather have the outcome of the extra point try in our hands (stopping the 2 pt conversion) rather than a garuanteed extra point kick. the same would be said if we went for it on 4th and 1 from the 10 yd line instead of kicking a garuanteed 3 pts. as far as scoring 56 points, hell we kept the score DOWN. i had the jets scoring 96 points walking away.
No we didn't. But so what if we did? Those guys are getting paid INSANE amounts of money to play a friggin' game while the rest of the country is losing their homes and watching their retirement plans go poof. These guys are adequately compensated for the occasional public humiliation in front of a few million. Now, in high school and college, it's a different story. It really hacks me off when a team runs up the score on a bunch of kids. I have a totally different mindset at that level. Sorry. Just read the details of the bailout and am pissed.
Kinda disagree. Even Billick mentioned that if you look at the scoring matrix going for 2 at that point made sense. I was a bit suprised at first but I think that comment made a lot of sense. We didn't need it to win but who knows, a kick return for a TD on the ensuing kickoff followed by a recovered onside kick and the complexion of the game completely changes.
I thought it was pretty obvious we ran the score up. It doesn't bother me at all, but come on guys. We killed the Pats for doing this all last year, at least admit the Jets were running the score up. 4th and 1, you just run the ball, not throw 40 yard TD's.
I've never could understand when talking heads claim "running up the score" in any professional sport. As been stated before.. Pro offences get paid to score points and win... it's their job. And defences get paid to stop it. If one team gets a comfortable lead and want to try to "practice" going for 2 in a game situation or try going for it on 4 and 1...than as a coach, and a team, you have earned that right by destroying your opponent.. (again it's what they are paid to do) A coach trying to build team chemistry with young and new team players would be a complete fool not to take advantage of the situation to do just that. It not running up the score.... It doing their job.
Nonsense. The Cards were scoring freely. To keep the game safe the Jets needed to keep scoring and you can't say "we're going to take 12 plays and eat up eight minutes and get a TD". You have to score when you get the chance. All the Cards had to do was stop trying to score and the Jets would have done the same. Why is it okay for one team to be busting a gut to score but somehow classless for the other team to do so?
They almost got their best player decapitated with 27 secs left in the game. If they're going to play to the final whistle, the Jets have to as well. Its not like the Jets have never blown a big lead in the 4th quarter before.
The Pats were going up by 40 in the 4th and still throwing with Brady in there. Thats just stupid. If the game is still within 2 scores, the game is not over.
The only time it's appropriate to call off the dogs is if the team has a big lead late in the game and you want to protect your starters from injury. Then you go to a more conservative offense (run the ball & eat up the clock) or put your second team guys in. But the offense should still be trying to score every time they have the ball. That's what they are paid to do. If the clock is less than 1:30 and you can kneel down for the win, you do that. Not for good sportsmanship but to protect your guys from injury. And at that point time is more valuable than points.
My only problem is that we didn't go for 2 earlier. I was all in favor of going for 2 earlier in the game, making it 21. It would have completely made sense. But they didn't do it the entire game until there was under 2 minutes left, they had no TOs left, and the game was all but out of reach. I'm not necessarily saying it was running up the score, but it was certainly fishy. And I'm also not necessarily saying that I'm against it either. We should have gone for it earlier.
I agree Jetfanmack. I can't understand why the Jets didn't go for the two-point conversion earlier in the game. I would have gone for the two-point converstion after the first or second TD of the fourth quarter. That would have been a strategically logical thing to do (to get up by three "full" TD's). I also agree that going for the fourth-down pass to finally put the game away with about 2:00 minutes left perfectly acceptable. The way the D was playing any lead less than two scores wasn't safe. However, going for the two-pointer after the last TD didn't make sense if you didn't want to try it earlier in the quarter. Why do you need a 21-point lead with 2:00 minutes left fto go in the game when you don't need a 21-point with ~10:00 and ~5:00 minutes left to go in the game. I just think the Jets wanted to practice their two-point conversions.
I'm with abyz on this, and agree w/him last year when the Pats were doing it. I'd love to see us running up the score if we had the chance, but we didn't do it Sunday. MAYBE on the 2PT, but that's debatable too. Maybe they wanted to get live practice on 2PT conversions for more important situations later in the season.
No way did we run up the score unless we were able to duplicate the effort of the 1st half in the 2nd half while keeping Favre in the whole time. As we know, we kinda started milking things Defensively in the second half. Jenkins having to use the loo didn't help either.
I had no problem with scoring as much as possible, given the 3rd quarter. As far as the 2-point conversion, I just think everything was clicking so unbelievably well at that point that the CS used it as an opportunity for more practice and execution. In fact, had the game been more lopsided at the end, my thoughts turned to having Mangini pull Favre and insert Clemens or Ainge to give them some garbage time. But no, I didn't see it as piling on, I saw it as practicing execution and improving "chemistry," something we need to be doing.
