There is a difference between running up the score and putting the game out of reach... that game was in reach until the Jets "ran up the score" I personally don't like this thread, because I bitched and moaned about a pussy team, and now when they blow a team out and cut their throats, people are sensitive to running up the score... fuck the Cardinals. If the Jets do this to the Rams or Chiefs, and the Jets are winning 41-10 with 3 minutes remaining, onside kick the ball and score again.
it's just a pleasure to see the words 'jets' and 'running up the score' in the same sentence. ahhhh, life is good.
Yeah, good point. Like all these years as a Jets fan and now I'm gonna concern myself with running up the score?:rofl:
There is no such thing as running up the score. Thats something people made up because the Pats were so good last year. To even accuse the fuckin...JETS...of it is hilarious. Theres no such thing as running up the score in sports. Those who complain can be filed under "haters."
Nope, 480 yards passing by the Cards says we weren't stopping them. Only way we win is to keep scoring
Not really running up the score... but that two point conversion with less than two minutes left was unnecessary.
Getting 1 more point than we might have otherwise is running up the score?!? By 1 Point more? With that logic you could also say the inverse and say we were very generous to give the cardinals a chance to allow us to lose a point. You score as often as you can. Even if the score is 99-0. Get another score if you can. I personally want other teams to be afraid. I agree with the poster who said worrying about running up the score is for pop warner games.
If you read my post I didn't say they were running up the score. I said the 2 point conversion was unnecessary (it was). I find it humorous reading the posts on this thread. Last year running up the score was the greatest sin and most classless thing you could do. Now that you have a team that can score alot of points there's no such thing as running up the score. :rofl: Why not just come out and admit it, everything the other teams do (especially the Patriots) is bad, and everything we do (the Jets) is good. Might as well be Flyers fans.hmy:
^ There were people here last year that basically said man the fuck up if you don't want them to run up the score and didn't complain about it. Basically, some of us didn't have a problem with it - not that we enjoyed watching it done.
i too remember reading a lot of posters on here having no problem with the pats scoring all game. and again this is a different scenario than the patriots last year. that team didnt have a defense giving up 35 points while the offense was putting up 40 a game. but again most people here had no problem with the pats continuing to play the whole game.
"but again most people here had no problem with the pats continuing to play the whole game." True enough. It certainly wasn't meant as a blanket statement to all the folks here. That said... the idea that most posters had no problems with the Pats running up the score last year is just not reality. I read the threads. I'm not trying to start trouble or pick a fight.It 's just an observation. I find it interesting how a lot of fans of every set different standards for their team versus other teams. BTW, I don't think the Jets ran up the score. The Cards were scoring on every possession. I am a little curious about the 2 pont conversion at the end though.
We put the game out of reach, but I don't think we ran up the score. They scored 35 points in the second half.. you never know what could happen in the last 3 minutes. Like someone else mentioned, if we won 24-3, this wouldn't even be an issue. Most of the time I don't have a problem with teams running up the score in the first place though. They're paid to play the whole game.
I agree with you. I was having waking nightmares in the the 3rd. Warner's a 2x MVP and Boldin & Fitzgerald are lethal. I didn't think it was probable but who wants to take that chance.
I don't know, good practice and the differential calls for a 2pt att to add necessity of a third score. One point either way not really running up score.
The only way you could argue running up the score is if the other team is hapless and has no business being on the field but that clearly wasn't the case. Jets got a ginormous amount of gifts in the first half and played only half the field because of it. But not entirely unearned. The "D" had to create those turnovers and they did. The first Warner fumble and the resulting Kris Jenkins FG block was playmaking. That guy is amazing on SP. Mangini came in and promised a changed culture. I'd say that this effort counts towards that. I mean after the half when you go three and out after they get the initial seven and you don't get the ball until the game is 34-21? Bells and whistles have to be going off in your brain to produce. They did it and Arizona kept pace. It was a game from there on out. I'm just happy to see the Jets offense being able to produce and keep distance. A Chad Penny offense could have easily failed there and watch Warner go right past them. Leave no doubt is what I say. And as far as the 2 points at the end? Puhleeze. It was fitting for all the scoring going on. The mantra for this season should be "LEAVE NO DOUBT!" period. Anybody remember the Cleveland game where we were up like 31 nothing at the half at home and lost some years back? That sucked and this past weekend ruled.
as has been said by many, there is no running up score in pro sports. these teams are all similar in talent level. this is not like youth sports where one team can be stacked, while the other has all first time players on it. in that case the superior team would be in a position to run up the score, and it would be in poor taste. as we all saw the jets were not invincible that game. so running up the score was not even a thought on the coaches minds.
Impossible to run up the score in a game like that. Crazy things had happened already. If the Jets had tried an onsides kick after the 2-point conversion, maybe that would have been too much...
Running up the score should never be an issue in the NFL. It's not like the Jets played some Junior College. Arizona is a good NFL team. Doing your best at all times in the NFL is fine with me.
