I want what I want
For the NY football fan: My suggestion is to forsake your team until they give you a modicum of competency (which neither has for a decade sans '16 NYG). You owe them nothing and your time should be spent enjoying life. If you love the sport of football, then my suggestion is to at least try to get NFL redzone and spend your time watching that. It has always been and continues to be fantastic. Exciting ends to some of the early games today.
As I said, stick with your team through thick and thin and you'll eventually be rewarded :laugh:

Redzone still rocks tho....

Defense looks strong but the entire league is predicated to offense. We have yet to make that adjustment.

Zach has 4-5 seconds to throw and literally no one is open. How can play design be so poor? Sure, he needs to get rid of the ball and check it down but how is that much talent not open?
Elijah Moore is pissing me off. He gets praised about being an up and coming WR but is invisible, never open.. I'm on a football forum and everyone acts like he's an All Pro but how is this guy not getting open? I think MLF is giving him all deep routes. For some reason he doesn't believe in quick hitters and short/intermediate routes. It's either a dump off or deep. And his body language has been meh.

they finally decided to roll out Wilson to his STRONG SIDE and biggest play of the game so far.

They've been rolling him out running to his weak side forcing him to throw across his body. Mind numbing stuff.
Both times were on 3rd and 1 where Breece could have went up the middle for a 1st. MLF has to take a look in the mirror and make some corrections.
Luckily our talent prevailed today. Much better 2nd half from everyone.

Jets defense cannot be understated. Last year was an abomination. This year the level of play is that of a playoff team. The DL is finally getting pressure. Sauce and Reed are an amazing 1-2 tandem.

Breece Hall is the best weapon the Jets have had since Curtis Martin. The passing game needs to get going though. I expect it to at some point. Biggest thing is no turnovers. Punting when the defense is this good is fine.

So I flip over to this football game and in the first series there are two trash penalties.
Click. Id rather watch Dr Pol stick his arm up cow butts.

Not just Moore, but G Wilson. Zach is just not finding them. Can guarantee you G Wilson misses Flacco throwing him the ball lol.

There’s a lot of bad coaches in the NFL, and we saw 2 of them go head to head last night.

Herbert also doesn’t look right at all. I know he got hurt earlier in the season, but he missed a wide open tight end on that last drive in the 4th.

Joe Douglas doesn't play around. He won't trade you if he doesn't get what he wants.

Not for nothing, but Wilson threw the ball 18 times this week. How many targets was he expecting? Obviously more than none, but it's not like anyone else was getting them in bulk.

Likely means Mims is active this week. Hope he goes out and kills it. He did the same, but stop pouting and put in the work. Maybe Moore will learn the same thing.

They throw the ball 20 times a game, and Wilson is one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the league.

These guys are trying to set themselves up for a real contract after your rookie deal, I get his frustration.

Moore is a good reminder that for a lot of athletes pro sports is just a job for money and they don’t care about winning championships.

If some team wants to pony up a 1st rounder (KC, LA, GB), or young OT then I’m interested. If not, Moore will get his opportunities. Jets have him locked into a rookie deal for 2.5 more seasons.
