I thought he hated the Jets. Jets are becoming what Rex Ryan said they would be. Through four weeks of the NFL season, only one team is undefeated -- the 3-0 Chiefs. No team exhibits the aura of the proverbial "team of destiny." Except for, perhaps, the Jets. Stymied by the Ravens in the season opener at the New Meadowlands Stadium, many assumed the Jets were on their way to mediocrity. They responded by handling the Patriots, beating a tough Dolphins team in their own house, and completely dismantling the Bills. Next up, they welcome one-year Jets quarterback Brett Favre back to town, and they'll have receiver Santonio Holmes and possibly linebacker Calvin Pace and cornerback Darrelle Revis in hand when facing Minnesota. Given that the Vikings' corps of receivers consists of Percy Harvin and a collection of no-names, the Jets can afford to give Revis another week to heal. They arguably can give him the Broncos game off, too, which then will carry the Jets into the bye week. Coming out of the bye they face the high-flying Packers; assuming Revis will be back to 100 percent by then, they'll get good use out of him that night. Still, with or without Revis, the Jets have become, for now, the best team in the league. Whether they stay there for long remains to be seen. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/10/04/week-four-monday-10-pack/
Florio just trying to make us look bad...There is a hint of him wanting to tease us. I dont believe his bullshit
I'm sitting here wondering why he said we could afford to sit Revis against the Broncos, who have the #1 pass offense in the NFL. Great insight, Mike.
Just goes to show you how stupid this Florio guy is. Denver has been throwing up and down the field even against good pass defense teams. We will really need Revis back for the Broncos.
This is how it goes with the Jets haters... Until we prove that we are an elite team, they call us weak and say we're gonna fold at any time. Then when it gets too hard to act like we suck, they start saying how we "better" beat the next team, and how we should handle it with no problems, anything less is a disappointment and the team is falling apart again This is what fat idiot Francessa did last year and probably what Florio will do too basically the idea is to say we're a joke and not serious up until they're wrong, then make us into huge overdogs so we're destined to fail
I commend the guy for hustling to make a name for himself and his site, but his football knowledge is suspect and his style of creating news (see Jeff Garcia piece yesterday) is tiresome. To suggest the Jets don't need Revis against the Broncos is just wrong. The Broncos can toss the ball around the yard pretty good even when their running game is non-existent. Orton is better than Henne and the Broncos WRs are better than the 'phins with the exception of Marshall. (Broncos WRs: J.Gaffney, B.Lloyd, E.Royal, De.Thomas)
Does this douche watch football? Denver has got to be one of the top 5 passing teams in the league right now. Of course we would need Revis back. Idiot.
Maybe it's just me, but this article has a very patronizing post. A "team of destiny" implies the Jets don't deserve to win by their own merits alone, they need some divine intervention to help. But I'm sure everyone around here watched all of our games. We weren't handed any wins. This "team of destiny" may have applied to the 2009-2010 Jets but not the 2010-2011 Jets.
It's not just Orton. That whole receiving core is deadly. Every receiver had contributed to their wins.
I don't care when these gasbags say nice things about the Jets, either. No problem sitting Revis against the Broncos at Denver? What a clown.
This X 100, were becoming a DISCIPLINED (1 TO in 4 games) team that can win with our offense by scoring a shit ton of points, win on the defensive end and our special teams have been playing well so far this season. We'll beat you on the road in your stadium or we can take it to our stadium and put up a good fight. Once everyone is healthy, were a complete football team that can beat anyone anywhere anytime, and that to be honest is scary This is unlike any Jet team I've seen in the past, there will be some bumps in the road but I feel any loss will just humble us further like after the Ravens game, I still think were heading for a 11-5 record, but if Sanchez continues to play at this rate and the defense becomes healthy, how do you beat us? The league is so wide open this year, anything can happen, and this could finally be the year where Gang Green shocks the world Were not a team of destiny, we are a talented hard hitting, HUNGRY Superbowl Contender - we got nothing to lose and everything to gain, let the haters hate, they STILL don't think much of us, it's early in the season granted but were looking good, damn good
Team of destiny... best in the league... this is all bullshit talk. We haven't won anything, and we've hardly beaten anyone. So far we know we can hang with some of the best teams, but until you come home with the title it doesn't mean much. This sort of tripe is for low self-esteem fans that want to play the "respect" game and feel good about their emotional investment.
