Wouldn't you all agree that people tend to hate only those that are worthy of being hated?

I mean sure the Jets are division rivals....but this forum was never this Jets heavy until this year.

When the Jets were 4-12 in 2005 and 4-12 in 2007 no one hated the Jets this much. But now that the Jets are worthy opponents (you have to admit at least this much), the hate has increased exponentially.

Face it...the Jets are a significant threat.

Good to be back you guys.

No
The JETS have been hated forever
More recently back in the 90s the "Border Wars" with Parcells inflamed the old rivalry
Most recently, JETS bloviation and bravado based on NOTHING has exacerbated the situation
JETS: So little results, so MUCH talk

Wow, you ae really begging to be relevant.
Frankly, this is about the same as every off-season. A few Jet fans come over here to tell us how great the Jets are going to be, we humor them, explain why they are wrong, then the season takes care of itself.
The only real difference this year is that your coach and players are also confused that convincing the world how good they are menas anything.
You seriously cannot think that increased board traffic about the Jets has to do with anything other than you having about the only coach in NFL history who thinks his job is to go around trying to brag about his team.
Seriously, who else has ever done that.
Buffoon, SR Buddy Ryan didnt even go as far. Maybe Jerry Glanville? Nice company to be in.

Significant threat? Your defensive front 7 is filled with a bunch of slow, old dudes and your offense is led by a second year QB who was worse than Stafford and Freeman. Your biggest strength was your running game and you guys threw it away for a past his prime hall of famer with dead legs and a guy who's had weight issues and little nagging injuries his entire career. Every one on your team wants new deals, and your hands down best defensive player wont report. You cut a glue guy and a veteran leader in Alan Faneca for some dude from UMass and you paid big to add a corner who has more kids with different women than interceptions the last two seasons.

Threat? Sorry, I'll reserve that word for the Dolphins. Enjoy 8-8, then back to the AFC East basement from there when the Jills pass you.

Loved Jerry Glanville, he's coaching here at Portland State.

No. Human nature proves this wrong day after day, after day.

We've got a group of Jets fans here (about a half dozen or so) who've come in and been pretty 'vocal'. Combine that with the lunacy of what's gone on in Jetsland (and the comparative lack thereof throughout the rest of the league), and it should come as no surprise that there's been an uptick in Jets talk on the board.

It hasn't. It really hasn't. You're confusing amusing ourselves by chatting about the NYJ trainwreck with hate. They aren't the same thing.

See.... I really don't think they are. Now, if Sanchez can actually play the quarterback position, and if Cromartie can stop inseminating women long enough for his hip to heal, and if Revis decides to play football, and if Faneca Jr. doesn't suck, and if D'Bust doesn't regress now that his safety blanket is gone, and if LdT isn't toast, and if Shonn Greene is both 'real' and durable, and if Jenkins can last more than 6 games, and if the Jets wideouts can avoid suspensions and/or prison.... if that can happen, then I'll look at the Jets as a 'significant' threat. Until then, they're just the Same Ol' Jets.

Not sure what you were seeing, but there were a TON of threads here about the Jets between 2007-2008. There were a ton last year too when Ryan started opening his mouth. Between 2006-2007 I remember there being a lot too because Mangini had just taken the team to a respectable record even though they got pounded by the Pats in the Wild Card round.

And anyway, the Jets even suck at negotiating new deals with their star players.

Insane Clown Posse is my name for them now and I'm sticking with it.............just picture Rexie with those oversized shoes and red bulbous nose.

Thank you,football gods.....they're the gift that keeps on giving

Jabba Wrecks is a clown extraordinaire. I especially enjoyed his presser today when he announced to the world that Revis can hold out all of camp and he'd still be the starter. Way to pressure the guy back into camp, Wrecks. HOF coaching right there.

MoLewisrocks

Not only that...he telegraphs to the secondary the other corners are all just playing out of place or stepping up to hold the holdouts place with no hope of earning it themselves. And the guys who reported...I guess they are just there busting their tails for kicks...or because they aren't talented enough to just show up if or when they feel like it.

That was so wrong on so many levels. All in the name of rationalizing it's no big deal in hopes that placates the media and fan base.

One of the great things about Bill is something he got from Tuna - speaking with one voice (while not saying all that much). The JETS should try duplicating that approach some time, although I'm not sure they have one voice competent enough to handle the job.
