I was getting so much trash talked to me and I had to keep telling people that I root for the Jags if they're not playing the Pats. This game may be more of the same. Most teams would be emotionally drained after the kind of win the Pats just had Sunday night. The only thing we can hope is that they learned from that two game stretch last season because Watt is definitely capable of abusing our OL and making Brady's life miserable.
This all started with NE last year. They had shown some signs of stumbling before the NE game, but I believe it was that game that started this downward spiral. They really thought they were contenders. They walked into Gillette with a ****iness and got punched in the mouth. They convinced themselves, and tried to convince everyone else, that it was an aberration and they were marking their calendars for the rematch in the playoffs. They came back to Gillette as they wished and got punched in the mouth again. Big brother was not having it. They were never the same after that. NE demoralized them completely.
Plus pats are every team's superbowl game.
Clowney should change his name to Clown, he will definitely drop out of the top 10. He's been dogging it all year.
I think a lot of teams may downgrade him for the exact reasons you are offering as excuses.There's zero chance Clowney falls out of the top 10 barring a career threatening injury. He's an absolute freak athlete who has had two very good seasons before this year. Plus this year, he's "dogging it" because he was hurt and had no benefit/motivation to come back less than 100% since his team isn't going to win a National Title anyway. Yes its selfish, but how can you blame him if playing hurt might cause him to lose a lot of money in the future.

So what if he goes to a non-contending NFL team? Is he still going to dog it because they aren't playing for a superbowl and only perform in contract years when money is on the line?
May as well avoid getting hurt the first 3 years so you can cash in later, right?
This dude has red flags all over him. I think he'll still be a very high pick because some teams believe they can fix work-ethic issues and will watch their pick waste away.
Real NFL players play hurt and still give it 120% all the time because they know that if they slip up their jobs are on the line. You need that attitude from day one, Clowney isn't off to a good start and will have a lot of explaining to do at the Combine interviews.
p.s. - this is all moot if he's ACTUALLY too hurt to play, my whole post was to the thought many people have that he just doesn't WANT to play.

Come now, Andre. As long as the Jets are out there, you won't be the worst team in the NFL.
