it's probably going to happen regardless....Favre looked like a beaten man in press conference yesterday....i thought he was going to throw in the towel right then and there.
He literally was a beaten man, but that's football. I think he likes it here and if we get it together will come back. If not we have Ratliff. :up:
I hope you're right, IS.....I like having Brett Favre behind center...and would like to see him back for at least 1 more season.
Who have the Jets beat? Miami (2-4), Arizona (4-2), Cincinnati (0-7) Who have they lost too? New England (3-2), San Diego (3-3), Oakland (2-4) Basically they've beat one decent team in Arizona, early in the season before things settled and two other teams that are going to settle in at 5 wins or less before we're done. They've lost to both the playoff contenders going into the season and to one sad sack for inexplicable reasons. We've seen this story before many times in recent years. The Jets have assembled a talent base and coaching staff that is just good enough to win most of the games they should, however they can't beat a top tier team and they'll lose a game here and there that should have been in the bag. I feel like I'm in the wayback machine with 2002 on the dial and a pretty good idea of what 2008 to 2011 is going to look like, just like 2002 to 2005 did. The one difference being that 9-7 isn't going to come close to the playoffs this season, assuming they can get there.
Don't worry we will spend another 300 Million over the next three years to end up mediocre yet again. When will we learn great teams are built from the bottom up.
Why don't you enlighten us by sharing some examples instead of posting the same vague description in every thread?
Mangini will be here, IDK about Favre though, its year to year with him, and now he has a shoulder problem.
im pretty sure they had been trying that. it seemed brilliant year one when they went 10-6, and then it was awful last year when they went 4-12. so they go out and sign some guys to speed the process along and now we are back to build through the draft? you cant do one or the other in this league. the great teams are built for the long term through the draft, but always reload with a few key free agents
I'll bite,, how long will the Jets have Fanica? or better yet how long will he be worth the $$$ spent on his +30 year old body? a year? Two? What about Jenkins? he can do the Job when he's on the field but do Jet fans really think he's the long term answer at NT? Finally what about lord Favre himself, if he retires the Jets have nothing but scraps sitting in wait at QB. What could be even worse is if Favre comes back for another and a year older, pushing the Jets search for a real franchise QB back a few more years or more if you consider development time taken away from a young QB. Make no mistake about it, the Jets moves in the offseason where premature, and had more to do with selling PSL's than winning now.
Would you have felt better if he wore a smile and danced a jig at the press conference? Of course he was a beaten man... he literally took a beating. That hardly means he's decidedly quit for next year at this point. He'll get through the season and reflect on the experience and then decide. If we make the playoffs and he feels we have a shot the following year to make a run at the SB he'll be back. Otherwise, it is anyones guess.
I agree. Maybe he'll be the next Vinny--retire every year and then go to whatever teams desperately calls him when their QB goes down in September.
Did you not see him shaking his throwing arm and holding it like he was injured for the past 2 weeks? He's injured.
I totally missed that. Well, that would explain all the checking down and the Int's the last couple of weeks. The Jets curse lives and in fast forward speed this time around. Favre breaks his own record and ties the franchise record with 6 TD passes and a week later he gets hurt?
I was in a sports bar so I didn't have any audio, but they showed a play from the Bungles game where he got his arm whacked not unlike when Pennington tore his shoulder cuff the second time, then they showed him get it whacked once in a similar situation yesterday, followed by falling on it a couple of times. The last time he got up with his arm braced against his side and then shook it a few times. Maybe it's a stinger, maybe it's something worse, but it's pretty scary. In his defense, 2 plays after the last time I saw him shake his arm, he threw a bullet to the sideline. I still think there's a problem after all of that, though. As far as the checkdowns, I think a lot of that was respect to the Raiders' corners. Especially at the beginning of the game when he kept going to Baker.
I haven't noticed. I saw him shaking his arm after a big hit once, but not regularly. I just assumed it was from the hit. I'll have to look more closely.
Yeah, check the re-watch, CBS did a short segment in between drives that recapped the arm thing. Lasted about 20 seconds or so, quick shots, but it was pretty convincing.
