I just can not imagine how we can win a game with EZ as our left tackle. He is a nightmare waiting to happen. Van Roten and Schmidtz are weak in the middle as well.

I feel the same way about the NY Rodgers in general.

Do you guys still care? Most of the people here are Jets and Giants fans. Last week was my last game for the season. They're not worth my time.

 

[Ben Grimm]

... They're not worth my time.

Women feel the same way about my tiny little baby penis, but it was photo'd and photo shopped onto that baby when I was 25.

The Chiefs are a great defensive team, but Mahomes' TD to INT ratio is 6 to 8 so the playoffs may be interesting.

I just saw Rodgers on video saying "I've actually never eaten my boogers and I'm very proud of that". Weird. I'm not kidding.

The Jets are pretty much dead to me.

QBing is the worst it's been since I started watching.

And I thought a medium Pepsi was bad:

Jets fans in disbelief over timing of season-ticket price increase after team’s ugly start

Jets season-ticket holders were notified of price hikes on Wednesday, and several of them expressed displeasure with the organization that the timing coincided with the team’s disappointing 2…

Saleh is gonna coach the Packer's offense on how defenses think. I'm not kidding.

Saleh spent a week home with his 47 kids, and jumped the first plane to middle of nowhere Wisconsin.

Philip Rivers has 10 kids and Dan Patrick once said it was for religious reasons. I thought it was sad how limited Dan's perspective was. Dan also said that Rodgers never lied about being vaxxed, although Rodgers has admitted he lied. Dan's real last name is Pugh.

Sadly. We are all in it for the entertainment value at this point.

Vince Young and Barry Switzer are nominated for the SEC HoF although they never played in it. (Yes I know about the SEC's re-alignment)

Team Rodgers strikes again....you can't make this stuff up.....this franchise has gone beyond the joke/clown stage....they're rapidly passing pathetic.

Thank goodness I've had the Vikes as a backup since the '70s. Now those were some good defensive teams.

As long as Darnold is there they are my backup lol

 

[majordomo]

As long as Darnold is there they are my backup lol

As you can probably imagine, I was horrified when they announced that he would be the starting QB....I thought all was lost. But from Game 1, the foremost thought in my mind while watching him was/is: "Amazing what one can do with an adequate O-line and a O-Coord with more than half a brain."

I would never compare today's MN D to the Purple People Eaters. I am starting MN every week though and am in first place.

John Mara doesn't anticipate firing G.M. Joe Schoen or coach Brian Daboll after 2024 season

Coach, G.M. get assurance for 2025; QB does not.

Unbelievable. Let's start Jones next season also.

I don't have that big of a problem with that. Maybe we can get a real QB and I think they'd do well.

Neither would I. Just pointing out why I loved those teams.

I keep up with what’s going on just to make fun of them and laugh about NYJ general existence with other fans. They’ve been so bad and irrelevant for so long that I literally just can’t get myself to care anymore. The Knicks and jets seriously like expired in my brain from being ass forever. Brunson slowly resurrected my basketball fandom by being amazing so I guess NYJ could do the same if they get a good player for the first time ever
