He's a fucking dildo. We won more games than nearly every team in the AFC possibly can after playing one more game than we already have. Yet we're "backing in". We may even win 11 games if we try next week.
So winning 10 games by week 16 is the same as being 7-7 and making it in with lots of help? Fuck off, Rich.
Not that it'll really matter but is there like a petition we can make to get ESPN to fire him or at least reassign him to the Patriots or Colts some team that'll he blow and the fans wont care?
There's a reason why Cimini works for ESPN now. They're perfect together. ESPN is Faggot Academy Of The Universe.
Cimini is the worst. He thinks he's a doctor too. He is saying sanchez's injury is worse than the club is letting off. Well if he keeps playing like he's playing then I hope it remains this way for his career. He said the same thing about how we played revis through his hamstring injury saying it was a big mistake and we were risking injury. If you want to follow a jets beat reporter I think Jenny Vrentas does a better job for the star ledger than most reporters in our area.
Did he say the Steelers also backed in last week? And does he realize that whether we won or lost to the Bears didn't matter in the end? Therefore it can't really even be considered backing in. I understand the journalistic ploy in acting like a dick, but Cimini is just an idiot here.
I was just sharing similar thoughts with my son as we were watching ESPN, what a joke it has become, I do like BT and Jody Mac on 1050 though.
He did concede my point on twitter that nobody backs in in week 16. Didn't retract his articles, right enough.
Well that in essence is backing in. In 2004 we backed in, we lost the week 17 game but so did Buffalo so we got a playoff berth. Technically, it didn't matter that we lost that week 17 game.
Right, because it was week 17. We couldn't have been eliminated this past week. You can't back in when there are games to go.
Furthermore, I don't think you can consider it backing in since Jacksonville lost to the fucking Redskins. Clearly, you're not a playoff caliber team in the slightest if you lose a home game to the Redskins when it really counts.
Wait, what's the big deal about this backing in comment? We lost 3 of our last 4 games. We're not exactly marching into the playoffs strong. We were supposed to be a Superbowl contender but if Jacksonville had not lost we would be fighting for our playoff lives in a pathetic last game of the season against the lowly Bills. We're not going into the playoffs playing our best football.
If he said limping in I don't think people would mind so much. Backing in implies that you needed other people to lose to give you a chance. Sure we clinched when the Jags lost but we still have a home game against Buffalo on Sunday. The Steelers clinched last week when they lost to us, did they back in?
1) That's a different point; and 2) How do you know we're not? If we come out and stomp Buffalo are you going to dismiss it because the game doesn't count?
