Rex made the cover of the post lol the cover...didn't see the news. If that isn't "trolling" what is ? Wasn't Brady here yesterday for a federal court hearing surrounding his involvement in cheating (again)?
Well I think that although it provides poor media coverage for the team and regime in the short term it provides the organization with some relief because it's an easy escape from Geno. Imagine he goes another season with an 8-8 record 3400 yards 16 TD'S 18 INTs.. the team would be in the middle of the draft again, miss out on the top 2 quarterbacks, draft another mid round guy and hope Geno beats him out and takes a step forward. I think it's pretty cut and dry in that Geno is gone now. MacCagnan can make that decision without criticism now.
We are getting some players back weeks 6-8... Geno could still gain these kind of stats. The W/L is all that matters
Don't care. The media is there for my entertainment--I believe what I want and dismiss what I don't. I honestly couldn't care less about what the media says about my team or how the rest of fandom views what the media reports. I have my own feelings and no amount of media coverage--good or bad--is going to sway my thoughts. Don't be a sheep--make up your own mind. _
The way I look at it, if the Jets had the same exact offseason as the Bills, they would be labeled even a bigger circus than they are now. - Star Running throws a creepy party - QB controversy - Signing Incognito - Signing a player who just got cut for punching out his QB Fact of the matter is, NY will always be in the limelight. No one really cares about the Bills outside of people in Buffalo. Everything the Jets do will be magnified. Would anyone be talking about it if OLB Tony Steward punched out EJ Manuel? Of course not. Thats why Buffalo is such a great situation for Rex. No one is care what he does. The media control's the circus. Unless the Jets have sustained success, the "circus" isnt going anywhere.
There's no way he's back by week 6. He'll be lucky to have the wires removed by week 6 I know a few people that have broken their jaw in 2 places and that basically means the bottom of your mouth is being held from hitting the ground by your skin. He'll be lucky to be back by week 15 if everything goes right and he simulates a couple of hits in practice.
I agree plus I never understood how you can blame a guy for what grown ass men are doing. That just shows where this world is at blaming somebody for grown men do.
Bad. Half of them are Patriots homers and reporting is never unbiased. If this happened on any other team with any other QB in the league, the player who punched the QB would be bashed and the QB would be painted like a hero. Since it's the Jets, it's Geno's leadership, or the locker room doesn't respect him, or <insert fabricated presumptive reason here that blames Geno for getting punched in the face>. If only they had those same standards for Ray Rice's fiance. I'm sure there was a lot she could have done to help prevent the situation, but that doesn't absolve Ray Rice from doing the unthinkable.
That's because their beat writers are Giants fans. They actually enjoy covering the team and hope for their success.
a great example actually. JPP situation is ridiculous. Geno situation is ridiculous. JPP situation was handled entirely differently. They didn't thrash the Giants and mock them for it. They didn't say OH CAN YOU BELIEVE THE GIANTS, ONLY THEM. No...It was medical updates, team updates and overall reporting. Geno happens and it's like OH THE JETS ARE A JOKE....ONLY THEM...HAHAHAHAHA GENO FUCK THE JETS. That's the difference. The Jets are a punching bag. But we CANNOT blame the media entirely for this. This reputation was cultivated over years of being jokes off the field. Rex put in the order, and didn't pay the tab. The ONLY way to stop this is to win. Period end of story. If the Jets win people will shut up. If they don't win, this will continue until they do.
Cam Newton literally got in a fight in his own right the day before. Nobody called the Panthers a circus. Thing about it that bothers me is they bash the JETS about it..and not just the 2 individuals. Folks this could've happened in any locker room. Yes everyone keeps saying "I've never seen anything like this". Really? 2 early 20 alpha males in an escalated fight in a football locker room? Really? You've never seen anything like that?Christ, I remember myself & others on the team going at each other back in peewee's! The Jets are the only team capable of this? This was about 2 individuals...not the Jets. It might've adversely AFFECTED the Jets...but blaming them for it & going as far as to portray them as a circus is just wrong. Nothing new of course Meanwhile, if sustained, Tom Brady & the Patriots are about 6 months into a legal disaster centered around cheating AGAIN. All the media does is dance around the issue. They are petrified of saying anything controversial or negative about the almighty Patriots. When compared to what the Jets have to go through..it just raises the tension another couple of notches.
This is not just a New York Jets problem or even a football problem, the media is horrendous EVERYWHERE in every facet of their existence. If you are looking for facts you have to extrapolate and dig for the truth, which is hard to do in an age of disinformation. But yes, they do pick on the Jets more than others, and unfortunately I think it does affect the team, mostly because the owner lets it, because he is an insecure turd who is more worried about his image and his PSL's.
I'll have to stop you with the first line. Cam got into a fight on the practice field. This is common and a normal occurrence and result of competition in training camps. Geno got rocked by a practice squad linebacker in the locker room over $600 after Geno got in the guys face and tried to show him up. Can you really not tell the difference?
You're missing the point. The question is whether the NY media is a negative influence on the Jets, not whether we believe everything Manish or Cimini write. I believe that the constant negative slant beats the organization down and helps to foster a losing mentality. A lot of this losing mentality is well-earned by our play on the field and our actions off it, but the media makes it far worse, to the point of actively seeking out the negative spin in every story. In my opinion, it's a contributing factor to this franchise's failure. It certainly isn't a positive.
The media is completely and utterly irrelevant to this team in terms of on the field play! They make no difference what-so-ever in that regard. The media doesn't drop passes or throw interceptions they just report on it. They can praise or bash whoever they want and its not going to make the team better or worse. Off the field? in terms of selling tickets, merchandise, public relations with fans/new or old? yeah, the NY media makes a difference there but that's for Woody Johnson and the boobs he's hired in the NYJ marketing team to worry about, not us. If any of the players/coaches/front office personnel let the media influence them IN ANY WAY as it pertains to the product on the field - - then they are the problem and not the media and were better off without them. ^^^ all of the above is true for fans too. As fans we have a hyper sense of importance, like what we do actually makes a difference on the field. it makes very little to no difference.
Wait, whut? You think the media beats down the Jets and has created or rather fostered the losing mentality? Yeah, I can't buy that. _
+100000000000 It's nuts to think the media has any effect on the teams performance or the loser mentality. That's a fans perception 100%. _
