The Jets have gone 2 games w/o scoring a TD.

The 5 stages of being a NY football fan are:

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

The Giants have zero talent.
The Jets have no pros.

The Giants don't have zero talent. This is nonsense. If they had a good QB they would be in the hunt for the playoffs. This idea that the Giants are some hopeless wreck is not true, they have holes and depth issues. But their QB is exacerbating their issues tenfold.

I keep saying that with even mediocre QB play would be in contention for a wild card spot.

They have a lot of needs, but QB is clearly holding them back.

Both teams needs some guys with some character flaws.

WOODY MUST SELL!!!!

Woody should move the team to London, he would be so happy.
Woody wants to go back to being UK ambassador (seriously) so we're getting Chris Johnson assuming Trump gives Woody another go. Chris' one positive is reducing ticket prices his last stint.

Isn't that what the Jets said at the beginning of the season? And despite popular opinion to the contrary, Rodgers has been vastly superior to the previous QB.

I’ve heard that before with my Jets.

Jones is certainly the glaring problem, but there are others…

Yeah, but the Giants have better coaching. For all their faults, and there are a lot of them, the Giants are still playing hard for their coach.

The Jets have a QB issue in a way that’s completely different. Aaron Rodgers holds way too much power in that organization, and there’s something wrong in that locker room. Also The Jets are asking their coach to do way too much and it’s blowing up In their face.

The Jets defense isn't what it once was and Aaron Rodgers is not nearly the QB he once was. You know what other team people were saying was lacking talent? A team that finished below the Jets and Giants in the standings last year and a team that's been a mess longer than the Jets and Giants. The Commanders.

Like what? The defense has been above average. The WRs are open on every play. Getting great RB play. OL has been very good compared to the past (JMS, for example, is playing worlds better than last season).

Other than a new QB, the only things they really need are a CB and a DT next to Dex. They'll bring in a veteran CB this offseason and likely draft a DT.

Daniel Jones literally doesn't know how to call protections. We've seen our own OL outcasts go on to play much better with QBs that actually know how to adjust the line. I don't think you understand how bad Daniel Jones is and how deep him being bad actually impacts the team.

It's abundantly clear to anyone with a pulse at this point that the line problems were mainly due to Jones. We can look at a castoff like Will Hernandez for example. He was fine originally but fell off very quickly playing with Jones. Dude can't ID blitzers. He can't slide protection. He literally never adjusts the line. Hell, last year when Taylor stepped in, the line play improved exponentially. Almost solely because of him actually helping his line out at the LOS.

There's a lot more to QBing than just throwing the ball or handing it off. The QB is integral to the offensive line's performance.
