Actually, take Tom Brady away from last years roster and the Jets roster was better than ours was. I am looking at trends here. All of the teams in the division are playing catch up. If the Jets lose Thomas Jones it will be a loss, but Shone Greene looks like a player. Can the Patriots say the same thing with their roster? I suppose we could put Julius Edleman in that catagory but even with him we need to add to that position.
If the Patriots lose to Miami and the Jets this season it will ruin our season. Not because I am over reacting but because they play in the same division. And we can't say that last year was an aberation either, the Pats were a 10-6 team. When they had the chance to be a 12-4 team they choked, something a Patriots team never used to do.
We cannot win a championship without wining the division, and right now we cannot win the division. We can't apply pressure to the opposing QB and we have trouble stretching the field against good team. The trend in NE is that they are not spending their money right. I was not in favor of paying Asante, I was wrong. I look at last years draft and all I see is potential, but that and two bucks will get you a cup of coffee. I want to believe, but the rend is pointing down while the Miami and NY trends point up. And I do not believe that less equals more when it comes to the coaching staff. I believe that the Pees era was a passive mistake, but the Pats response is to do nothing. It could be that Pepper Johnson or Matt Patricia will be genius, but question marks are all I see right now. So, in reality, it all comes down in in Bill we trust, and I can live with that, but I still have my opinion.
In 9 months when we lead the league in defense and are getting ready for the playoffs as a number 1 or 2 seed, I will tell all that I was wrong. I look forward to being wrong.
How is Miami on the rise? They were 11-5 in 2008 and 7-9 last year.
They had a losing record, and added ONE player while losing Porter, and potentially Taylor before I even look.
The Jets have gone 10-6, 4-12, 9-7, 9-7 (which was 8-8 if Indy tried vs them)
And they added ONE player.
What other than your fear has under .500 Miami and .500* NYJ on the rise?
The Jets have gone
