OT: Football Thread

[Hunter Gathers]

I don't even know what to say after that game. Insane comeback. Unreal.

Hyatt needs more targets. Guy is faster than Tyreek Hill. Try to get him in 1 v 1 coverage and spam him on play action.

He's tough as nails, too. Love Hyatt.

Daniel Jones was insane in the second half! 31 points!

 

[Crease]

Congrats to you Giants fans. Heck of a win.

Jets defense is better than they showed today but the offense was exactly what I expected. Can’t do much with that OL/QB combo.

What a resilient win on the road by the GMen.

Sure Arizona stinks, but the Giants looked completely lost until half way through the second half.

It’s amazing what a little spark can do to a teams confidence. Nice comeback in a game they should’ve won. Saved from a really crappy 0-2 start with the Niners coming up on a short week.

DJ has become a real leader for this team.

At least the Pats stink

Isn’t it amazing when Jones actually gets to throw the ball more than 8 yards?

Jets get a wildcard spot.

Rodgers miraculously is ready by playoff time.

Comes back, leads Jets on a Cinderella run.

Maybe they win and he goes out on top. Maybe he just leverages it to boost his legacy and get another contract.

The script is written. The pundits are already talking about the Jets managing to stay in the race with Wilson. Rodgers, despite his age, already talking about possibly being ready come playoff time. Then he starts tweeting “send me all your doubts, stack all the odds against me - watch what I do”. There’s CW shows with less predictable scripts.

Am I saying this will happen? No. Am I saying you heard it here first if it does? Sort of.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I could be 100% wrong but I felt like Rodgers had already slowed a lot in the pocket. I feel he could have been a sitting duck vs the Cowboys. Will he be slower after his injury?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Rodgers isn’t coming back. The best guys have done for an achillies is 5 months. Cam Akers was just back after about 5 months. 5 months from now is the Super Bowl.

This talk is silly.

 

[Crease]

This is the Jets. It’s more likely Rodgers tears his other achilles during rehab than it is he comes back this season.

MNF is now 2 games?

What a world we live in.

Running backs aren’t ever getting paid anymore, that Chubb injury was brutal.

 

[UnSandvich]

If you're squeamish, uhhh....don't press play

Oh please. How bad could it.....

sucks! That is an injury he will feel for the rest of his life. Literally.
Gotta feel for him.

Could it just have been more collaborative than in Week 1? I mean, Jones said he got the plays from Kafka.

So not trolling here but it seems like the only really good offense the Jets plays well against are the Bills and every time they play well against the Bills Jets fans get super excited. But they have the Bills number. It doesn't mean nothing but it doesn't mean that much sometimes teams have other teams' number. But yet there's 85 Bears talk because of it. Are the Jets anything special against any other good team? I still remember when the 04 Rangers beat the playoff Islanders 6-0 in the regular season.

Jets fans happy they won a game vs a playoff team forcing four turnovers after their starting qb got hurt four plays into the season, the audacity.

their defense was first in yards allowed per play and 4th in points allowed last season. over a full season. Defense isn’t an issue at all.

The defense is good but they didn't face that many difficult tests last year. And from what I remember late in the year had some bad breakdowns. I'm not saying it's bad or the issue but fans are treating it like some historically great defense.

The Jets had by far the lowest average time of possession in the NFL. Even an elite defense can't keep the opposition off the scoreboard when they're on the field 40 minutes every game.

Hey, if this were the CFL, Giants would have been in prime position to win!

I lost count with how many 3rd and longs the 49ers converted.
