As a side note, I think the Colts should get rid of that Peyton Manning too. What kind of a season is it to have 10 TDs and 9 INTs? Please resume your discussion.
Well said. Funny, when Chad hurt his ankle last year, I heard many cheering and wanting Clemens to play. Thanks for the memories Chad. I'll take Favre any day and twice on Sunday. I'll throw this out there. The weather has been nice for the first half of the season. Have many of you forgot how terrible Chad is in the rain? What about the wind? I believe Favre has seen some bad weather in his time. Winter's a comin'.
Chad played some of his best ball in the cold at the end of 2002. The 42-10 win over Green Bay (12-3) and the 41-0 playoff win over Indy were cold games, 4:00 starts, I was at both.
Can't help but love the Pennington haters. When they are proven wrong time and time again they just decide to ignore the facts and go back to their usual drivel.
Should I be satisfied w/ 11 picks so far? he has kept awful teams in games w/ us and cost us a W at Oakland. Should I be satisfied? I don't care about individual #s but I'd like him to lead us to more points and stop turning the damn ball over keeping opponents in games. Oh they run when it matters
a lot of good it does us for TJ to drive us 80 yards down the field to the goaline then get stuffed before the endzone.
How am I being a homer? TJ has got in the end zone for the most part when they give it to him on the goal line this year. The exception was the Pats game when the o-line got dominated.
I think I said this on my first post on this board, but the Favre-Pennington thing is crazy...Pennington has been a great, great pickup for us, as a 1-15 team last year. He has three INTs, no fumbles, the offense has next to no penalties. He's been a better passer than I would have dared hope, too. But you are talking about a guy who has had one 16-game season since 2002 and who has major questions about his arm. For the Phins, that isn't so much downside, especially compared to the QBs we had. For a team with aspirations that also made some major free agency acquisitions, durability is huge. Jets fans can fairly question the Favre acquisition. It still seems to me like a gamble worth taking. (If it doesn't work, you have to find another QB next year, like 60% of the league.) But comparing him to Pennington every week -- at least without taking durability into account -- is crazy.
I'm just saying, the last two weeks we got a lot of yards on the ground but it hasn't really helped us to get any more points. Less actually. Some of that's Brett's fault of course, but the running game still seems very sporadic. But I think play-calling has a lot to do with that, like a lot of our other problems.
He's had a couple good drives down the field. I've seen him get stuffed around the red zone many times though.
The last two weeks have been bad ones for this team and they were lucky to come out with one win. The play calling has been retarded. Favre has played poorly. The receivers have broken off routes when they shouldn't have. Those are three major keys.
Against Cinci before Favre threw that INT. There were other times, maybe not right on the goaline but definitely where we were in scoring position.
I really think if the play calling was better everything else would fix itself. They knew exactly what play we were doing during that Favre/Stucky interception, when we should've been in a running formation in the first place. It seems like the entire gameplan is scripted. They need to mix it up sometimes and adapt during the game. I know Favre has the ability to play at a higher level, same with the receivers and even the running game.
well i think most of us can agree that if Favre improves his decision making he will definitely do more for the jets than pennington could. its all about the coaching. they need to light a fire under his ass. maybe brett needs to feel that he could be benched for this shit. he hasn't had to worry about job security in a long time.
