OT: Football Thread

[Bob Richards]

I cannot wait for this f***ing season to end already lmao

 

[sbjnyc]

Absolutely 100% what is going to happen. And the Pats will draft the next superstar QB.

Absolutely want bill's last game with the pats to be a loss and jets to finally get a win over them. Pats already blew their shot at drafting a superstar QB.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

someone pls spike Zeuerlein's water bottle with TurboLax

Otherwise the Jets are just going to field goal their way to a horrible win

Winning today does not begin to compensate for what Bill did, and I promise you he won't care either. Give me the draft pick. Should have punted at the end of the Washington game too, but we are run by idiots that aren't going anywhere

 

[17futurecap]

Classic Jets win today.

 

[nyr2k2]

I mean the players still want to win and some of them are playing for a roster spot. The coaches could be coaching for their jobs. Everyone is going to go out and do what they can do to win. If the players get cut and the coaches get fired, what the f*** does it matter to them if they're picking 7th or 12th?

I'm not saying I want the Jets to win and a get a worse pick, but the idea that the players and coaches won't go out and try to win so they can get a better pick is idiotic.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Why do they have some limy telling me about American Football,Cristos his English is undecipherable and he sounds stupid actually

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Who is the Woman and the Black with the Limey? Is the Black a former player cause the Woman isn't for sure and the Limey is what a former Sucker player

I want Tennessee to lose cause the Draft is better in the first round,Second round,4th R cause they traded the 3rdouch and 5th all the way down...better to have the 6th overall instead say the 10th-11th overall

I’ll never get on the players for trying to win, obviously they should. It just sucks watching this win and the Washington win as a fan knowing in the long run they are for absolutely nothing.

Who’s arguing that the players don’t want to win? I as a fan want them to lose because it’s better on the long run. That’s all I’m saying.

Jets will continue to do the wrong thing every single time though because they are the worst run franchise in all of NA sports.

 

[klingsor]

I’m trying to watch the Titans-Jags game because I detest Pederson but hollering Harlan is giving me a headache.

Someone above implied (as I understood it) the Jets should have intentionally not tried to win the Washington game and that the people in charge were idiots for not doing so.

I'm on board with your point and agree with it. It's those "other takes" though that I have issue with, like intentionally making decisions in-game to lose is ever going to be acceptable.

 

[Bob Richards]

Jaguars started 8-3 and are going to miss the playoffs lmao

Tanking doesn't work in the nfl, just ask the jaguars.

 

[Savant]

Tanking doesn't work in the nfl, just ask the jaguars.

Whatever works in the NFL, the Jets do not know what that is; and Jets fans are certainly not the authority to speak on that.

As Uncle Junior says ""Some people are so far behind in the race that they actually believe they're leading"" That sums up the Jets

The jets have sucked despite drafting at the top the last 10 years. Thinking a better draft pick is going to make this front office draft better is delusional.

 

[will1066]

I can't...

Stay mid, New York Jets.

 

[Savant]

I mean, the best drafts they had is also when they picked the highest and had the least room to make mistakes. Yes the front office is absolutely terrible, but even worse is not changing it.

They passed on Mahomes and Watson to draft a safety at 6 because they thought Christian Hackenburg was going to become the franchise QB. They have routinely failed to draft anyone after round 1. You just can't win like that.

They were -20,000 to make the playoffs at that point.

No one is arguing any of this.

 

[SA16]

It's obviously better to have a better pick and there is no argument against it. It's also obvious the players and coaches are not going to try and intentionally lose.

 

[sbjnyc]

No one is arguing any of this.

At the end of the day, drafting a few spots higher or lower doesn't change anything. This isn't the NHL. There are impact players throughout the draft.

Sure it does. You just have to draft the right guy.

It’s even more of a reason to root for the better pick. Joe Douglas can’t draft so the pick needs to be as high as possible hoping for an obvious slam dunk pick
