Jeff Ulbrich: Playing Thursday gives Jets a chance to get a bad taste out of our mouth

The 2-6 Jets have a short week of preparation before Thursday night's game against the Texans.

Two years ago they were talking about this 7-10 like it was a juggernaut. Really became a hater then. It was insufferable.

I didn’t become a hater since I’m a fan lol but I was on the Derek Carr train because we were not in fact a juggernaut and still needed to build a team. Carr would have been a stop gap to give us 3 years to figure out our future QB and give us time to develop someone. Now if we get a top 5-10 pick and draft a QB they’ll ask him to save the franchise again.

The Ravens are last in passing YPG allowed. Yes, they are 32nd.

I think the Texans have some injuries so the Jets may be getting them at a good time. The Jets would look really bad if they go 0-4 under the new coach after firing the other guy at 2-3.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Crazy as it sounds the Giants still need offensive linemen.

I was never sure about Schmitz as our 2nd round draft pick (looked small) and now I have big doubts about him ever being better than average at center.

I like Eluemunor a lot as a person and a competitor but again I think his ceiling may be average.

Van Roten is pretty bad. That is why he was available so late and for so cheap.

Runyan isnt bad nor good.

AT is great but he was not as good this season. Possible his foot was giving him issues.

EZ is not a tackle. I do not know what Dabes is thinking. Way too slow to be a tackle.

Hubbard looked absolutely awful at LT in pass blocking situations but he is fresh off the practice squad of another team so not fair to judge him yet.

Neal??? What is going on? How can the #7 overall pick be so bad that Dabes prefers EZ and Hubbard?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It is abundantly clear that they want Neal to get fully healthy before they do anything with him.

Brock Bowers is on pace to break Puka Nacua's rookie receiving record

Puka Nacua set a rookie record with 105 catches last year. Bowers is on pace for 111 catches this year.

So typical of Jets....they may lose TD because player let go of ball before crossing the TD plain.

 

[Crease]

This Jets team is so so unlikeable.

I don't know anything about American football but surely stuff like that is coached out of you at like under-12 level? Seems an incredible stuff up for a professional to make

Just coming here to post this. If you've never seen it before and you're shaking your head it's likely a Jets f*** up that you've never seen before. Unreal.

Trust me -- I've seen worse.

I wonder why Corley was never playing all season. Cue up the Joe Douglas/Saleh draft video of how much they loved him.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Texans aren't scoring more than 3 points this game. Their O-line is overmatched and Stroud is overrated because there are so few good QBs in the league.

 

[Crease]

MetLife turf is from Home Depot.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

hope they lose out.

Well, that prediction was blown out of the water pretty quick.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

SELL THE TEAM

 

[mxyxptlk]

Rodgers gets worse with each passing week. I'm hoping Douglas has the sense to sell all that "high priced" talent.

He should retire tonight

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Honest question, why did no one think that it was possible Rodgers was washed and everyone treated him as a savior for 2 years?

I've wondered the same thing....he was not good his last year at Green Bay. As most of the press is now saying, "people" expected the old AR rather than an old (aged) AR.

To be honest, I just assumed it was a down year and bought the hype. But this was always a possibility, especially after the injury last year. I hope Jordan Love works out better for the Jets though.
