Favre also screwed us in 2002 when he was with the Packers and couldn't beat the Jets in week 17 so we missed the playoffs.
That was probably for the best. If I recall, Brady's shoulder was separated to the point where reports after the season revealed the severity was such that he may not have been able to play even had they made the postseason.
 
Let's settle down with the "enhanced" photos - that will flag with the ad network, and that situation is not great as it is

This bears explaining, what are you referring to specifically? I thought the first was removed because of the "Lily" name tag flagging with AT&T.

LOL, that's not an issue. But you can see the outline of certain things through the shirt. It'll flag as inappropriate content.
 
These don't grow on trees, and most years, the top guys don't even pan out. "It is what it is" at this point.

This team is going to have to win with just a decent player who can move the ball and get it to guys who can make plays and score points. And this is essentially the season where they have to make a decision about Mac's future. So while you hate him, enjoy the fact he's under the most pressure he's been under as a player thus far and let it play out. Zappe's under contract for three more years, so you'll get your answer

Agree they don’t grow on trees but if you identified an improvement at the most critical position on the field you have to make that move take that Risk.
Once you are sure you don’t have a top 10 guy why even spin your wheels you aren’t even making a playoff game in this league without a special QB.
The one thing that gives me pause on Levis and same for Stroud is reports are coming out that he wasn’t loved in the locker room.
I don’t want to watch Bills last seasons here be smeared by holding on to a QB who just doesn’t have it.

That's a lot to give up. The better approach will likely be what they did with Garoppolo and explore their options in round 2 at some point. That will work this time around when you don't have the greatest QB of all time sitting in the driver's seat. But you have to get over the Mac thing. "It is what it is" and he's got to have 2023 either way to prove himself, or prove he's not the guy.

Pardon my apparent ignorance for not considering fully clothed breasts "inappropriate." Sort of hard to believe in this day and age but I'll take your word for it.

That sort of thing is usually picked up by AI, which doesn't view things the same way. You should see some of the posts they've tagged as "violent" on here, which made zero sense, literally nothing that I would even think should have been on that radar. And the Pub is hidden to non-registered users, so these were posts flagged in this part of the forum.
 
Once McMilfson floundered it was Johnson's idea to sign a marquee veteran QB. Of course, they could've stuck with Mike Caucasian who was showing signs of progress and was liked by teammates, building around him instead. That might have been the wiser choice since Rodgers will be a pricey, short-term VERY high-stakes rental. But Woody never has been keen on team building, just splashy moves to stoke fan hopes and compete with the Giants for space on the Post's back page.

Why the Jete didn't instead pursue Lamar Jackson is unclear. I suspect they figured (A) they just couldn't get him or (B) didn't want to run that style of offense, since they still seem to believe Punky eventually will get his act together.

But now with Caucasian gone, the Jete are royally screwed if Rodgers mails it in, gets hurt or doesn't deliver a boatload of wins this coming season then retires.
The Park Avenue embargo on talking to Jackson must have severe penalties associated with it. Recall how quickly BB shot down any mention of even talking to him, even after Reiss corrected him to point out he's not Baltimore's player he's a free agent. Teams won't even use Lamar as a staking horse to gain leverage. That says to me Goondell has put the kibosh on anyone going anywhere near Jackson.

That being said, da Jete gave away any leverage they had. They released Caucasian. They signed Lazard. They telegraphed their intentions to the world. The Packers stole their lunch money. They got a 1st round pick swap, a second this year, and a conditional first next year for a guy who was never going to play for them again. SOFJ.

I'm just glad to hear he's motivated to help build a winner now while also saying he'll be around this summer to work with the guys. Dude really seems motivated.
More likely he's just going to find himself another cave to crawl in.

Who can blame him though? He spent decades with Green Bay. Hardly a historic franchise like the Jets. He must be loving life now.
Da Jete are a historically bad franchise, GB a historically good franchise. There's a reason the winner of the Super Bowl gets the Lombardi Trophy, not the Weeb Ewbank Trophy. This is the second time da Jete are getting GB's sloppy seconds, and like the NYJ Favre era, this one is gonna suck, but maybe with less **** pics.

So ... "being around" in the summer means he's motivated? Oh, wait ...

Aahole's natural habitat.

I had forgotten that.
In 2001 it was a Jets win vs Oakland in the last game of the year that gave the Pats the home playoff game, so I'll forgive them for their win in 2002.
 
That was probably for the best. If I recall, Brady's shoulder was separated to the point where reports after the season revealed the severity was such that he may not have been able to play even had they made the postseason.
Such a strange season that year. Didn't really lose any notable contributors and ended up adding Deion Branch and Christina Fauria. I was at that Chiefs shootout early in the year where Priest Holmes ran all over us but we ended up winning. Ended up being a sign of things to come as we seemed to get gashed on the ground every week. Leaving that Super Bowl hangover season never in a million years would I have believed what was about to come.

Screw the numbers. Like Bill says stats are for losers. I'm going to continue to go by what my eyes have seen.

No revisionist history here. In Brady's last two years here he won a SB and followed that up with a 12-4 season that probably would have been better if the Pats didn't get robbed of a win vs KC and lose half of the OL and both FBs (had to use a LB at FB). After Bill dumped Brady, basically over 10 million, Brady went on to win another SB and was a dumb coaching decision from possibly another.

It's ok to admit that it was a mistake to let Brady walk.
Don’t need to tell me twice, I’m on your side of that argument…but to me he had a down year in 2019, clearly it wasn’t his ability…but either way it was down.
And now, the same fans who were ok with seeing Brady go want to see Bill chase a record and get to finish his career here. I would have preferred that Brady finish his career here and maybe get that 7th ring with the Pats instead of the Bucs. We deserved that and so did Brady.
 
What makes you think that fans who criticize the team are not fans but you are? Maybe it's the blind followers like you that are the reason the team is in decline.
What a blessing for you! You spend your time blaming the team, blaming its ownership, blaming it's staff and it's players, and now you find a way to blame other fans! Everyone is in your circle of blame, but of course not you yourself, you're doing the right thing. Introspection is just not your thing. It just might you to conclude that you're a miserable human being who wallows in misery and blames everyone else around yourself for the life of misery, while giving yourself a free pass. You've really mastered the game of life!
 
Rodgers was 21st in DVOA and 27th in QBR last year -- better than Mac was but not better than Mike White.
You can always tell a weak argument when someone has to rely on esoteric stats to make their point.

Rodgers threw for 3,700 yards and 26 TD's against 12 INT's last year (in what is considered a down year by his standards).
Mike White threw for 1,200 yards with 3 TD's against 4 INT's.
The Jets as a team threw for just over 3,700 yards with 15 TD's against 14 INT's.

This is a major upgrade for the team.
 
I'm trying not to put a damper on things and I was trying to avoid this subject, but it's everywhere. There's a reason that she hides behind the AT&T counter and you don't see shots of her below the waist.
Yes, we know, you have stated it before. She's not the hottest thing on two legs, that's the point. It's funny. Sorry you don't get the humor of it.
 
Does this work? If the outer pasties aren't big enough I can adjust.
Probably not - it would likely require them to be blurred because the circles would possibly cause it to flag.
By the Pub forum being "hidden to non-registered users," do you mean it isn't subject to the same scrutiny?
Yes, I ended up making that a "registered only" forum which stopped ads running in it, so what's posted in there isn't viewable to the ad network. That one started flagging for obvious reasons and it wasn't enough money to bother with trying to start blocking posts, threads, etc. So rather than risk it, I took it out of the mix and just want to keep the bill paid each month while trying to minimize the damage.
 
Getting back to Rodgers…

I think he's going to lead the Jets to the promise land and knock your boy Mahomes out in Conference Championship.

Live and learn (in my case). I don't know if you've done this already, but posting a sticky of what's verboten might be instructive. Apparently the bots don't distinguish between things like clothed/unclothed, etc.

They really don't, and I don't want to post a sticky because it doesn't come up that often and truthfully, those goalposts move too much to the point where I roll my eyes and just get frustrated everytime I see something pop up that shouldn't be an issue. Then I look and it's mind-boggling as to why it even flagged. Not to mention, there's no reasonable human to speak to when it does, so "it is what it is." That medium is slowly dying as it is, so I'm just trying to deal with it for as long as I can. I've said it repeatedly, but I miss the late 90s, early 2000s. Life was definitely much easier
