Jets vs Ravens Discussion Thread

i know what he said, but I go against using God in that word. :up:

 

Alright! davidc7 checking in with his pick!

 

holy shit... we were hurting last year if mangold was playing D

 

You didn't know Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense have morphed into Peyton Manning and the Colts offense?

I wouldn't be surprised if both teams scored below 10 points in this game.

 

If it looks anything like this tonight we should be ok :beer:

Guess Madden doesn't take suspensions into account...

 

J-e-t-s! Jets! Jets! Jets!

 

all i know is its 9:00 im at work untill 2....leavin for the game at 3, nervousness is gone, now i just cant wait to get in there and bring the noise.....its going to be insane in there......:breakdance::breakdance::breakdance:

 

I am nervous about this game.

But then I am always nervous about Jet games.

Still, I fear that the Ravens have a better offense this year. Unless the Jet D wins it on turnovers, it will be up to Sanchez to lead the team to score enough to win.

See why I am nervous?

 

This game makes me nervous because I'm not sure what to expect from the Jets this season.

 

Me neither. Despite the reasons for optimism, and I don't really think it is SOJ thinking, I really wonder if the team gets it together.

I love Ryan. His style, his knowledge of the game, his being himself, the way the players seem to love to play for him. For a rookie HC he did quite well last year. All that is great.

But if the Jets fall flat this year, all that will mean nothing.

The first game against the Ravens offers the ability to make a statement. A win would be huge. Unfortunately a loss would be hugely bad. I watched the Pats a bit yesterday. Of course they were playing a rather mediocre Bengal D. But their offense looked sharp.

Let's put it this way - gotta win tonight.

 

Is kickoff at 7PM EST, or is that the start of a televised pre-game/introductions?

 

Pre-game starts at 5:00. Kickoff's at 7, because of the double-header (San Diego kickoff at 10)

 

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up.

 

Cincy looked like a hot steaming pile yesterday.

No mistake the Pats played well, but Cincy was atrocious early, especially on D.

 

Agreed. If for no other reason than just momentum. Because the Pats, even with the Moss BS, have got to be feeling like world beaters now (ignoring the fact that the Bengals played like total crap). Add to that the fact that the Giants had such an impressive win in the home opener, a loss for the Jets tonight will open a shit-can of nay-sayers and people just dying to punce and say "see the Jets suck!"

 

I am afraid so. Despite the fact that the Ravens are one of the best teams in the league right now, a loss definitely would bring out all the I told you so's. Tony Dungy would feel the loss was God's work. Pats fans would be more unsufferable than usual. Giant fans would say they are the best team in NY.

Normally I wouldn't care about most of that crap, but feeling bad about a loss, my guard would be down.

Jets better win for my sake. Heh.

 

The only reason that I'm concerned is because the Ravens are a legitimate title contender themselves. On paper, I think that they're improved from the squad that curb stomped New England in the playoffs last season.

I feel pretty confident about the Jets winning 10 games this season. But this one, with suspensions, injuries and first game jitters, might be the toughest match on the schedule.

 

Wish I was already at the stadium. I'm ready to eat a few pounds of steak and to start yelling.

 

So far the most valid reason I've heard that Jets fans shouldn't be more than cautiously optimistic is because "they're the Jets".
