Texans-Jets did anyone else see similarities

I agree with u. Maybe don't have to let him run 3 times but just having him in there would had the D thinking he was.

 

See the bold portion.
People always overreact to blowouts. I've seen it a million times in football and basketball. Sometimes teams just come out and nothing goes right, and they eventually stop competing and just go through the motions. That doesn't mean they have quit for the season. It means they are bagging it for the moment and waiting for another day.

The Lesson: Don't ever-react to lopsided scores. It's a loss if we lose by 1 or by 34.

 

are you suggesting the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl???

I'm really curious, what about this team suggests they are good? I'm all for it, but sadly I just don't see it.

 

Competing with the #1 team and losing has worked wonders for the giants and packers. Remember how confident the packrs got when they almost beat the Pats in foxborough?

Do I think we could go into Houston in the playoffs and win? YES. We were in it monday night. We needa win Sunday tho, or else we arent going anywhere.

 

After 34-0 im sure the Jets lost a ton of confidence in every aspect. I think after monday night the confidence in the Jets should be back. I know its a loss, but the Texans are the most complete team in the NFL. They are even better than 49ers and the Jets competed with the Texans until the clock expired.

Im telling you after the Giants loss 38-35 to the Pats, they realized that they werent far off from being a top team. It fueled their first playoff win. Then last year right after the Giants lost 38-35 to the Packers, I was honestly saying, here we go again.... You gotta capitalize on it though, you needa win games after this sort of loss.

Another example is the Packers when they went into Foxborough without Rodgers. At the time that team looked shot and hopeless, and then they realized that they almost won without Aaron and then when Aaron came back it was a breeze. Thats a different situation but confidence does go a long way.

The only team I have ever seen ignite completely in the playoffs was that 08 Cardinals team, that team got wrecked 47-7 by the Patriots week 16 and was reeling going into the playoffs and just completely blew up the NFC that year.

So yeah the whole point is the Jets took the #1 team 60 minutes deep, if they can take the #1 team to the limits then im sure they feel they can take any other team also.

 

so the argument by analogy you are trying to make is that since last year the Giants got blown out by a good team one week, then played another good team close the next week, and then went on to win a Super Bowl, the Jets can do the same as well this season?

one example does not make a very good argument, especially by analogy. so, unless you have multiple examples of the same thing occurring with other teams, your thread is as stupid as it has been mocked to be.

but more likely you will find many more examples of bad teams that get blown out one week by a good team, play a good team close the next week, and still remain a bad team throughout the season, so your similarity is simply a meaningless coincidence.

 

that may be your point, but it isn't the point of the thread, or else the blowout loss the week before would be irrelevant and all that would be necessary for the point was playing the one team close.

clearly the point of the thread was a pattern of two games for the Giants and its similarity to the Jets last two games, and trying to make the argument that the pattern and the Giants subsequent success reflects that this Jets season can, may or will also follow the course of the season the Giants season took last year after those games, which is just stupid.

 

I wouldnt even worry about the 49ers loss. Besides that game we were competitive for the most part until late in the game in Pittsburgh.

We wont see the 49ers again until 2016, barring something Super. If the Texans had handed us that beatdown then Id be a lot more concerned, but it was an NFC team that we wont run into for awhile.

 

The Jets would be a much better team if Sanchez would finally learn how to make a sack, block a pass rusher, catch a ball that hits him in the hands, and throw for 4000 yards.

 

The big difference in your comparison is that in those games against the Patriots and Packers, New England and Green Bay played perfect ball and the Giants went toe to toe with them.

The Texans played their worst game of the season and the Jets still couldn't get it done.

And one other huge factor. The Jets have Mark Sanchez. The Giants have Eli Manning. You're talking about a player who on his current pace will end up in Canton and another that will end up holding a clipboard somewhere.

 

Well, I dunno. I kinda see what people are saying. I could see the Jets having an explosive offensive in the same way people get explosive diarrhea: there will be shit everywhere!

 

not the point, and you didn't even address the point of what you bolded.

there is a huge difference between whether this team is as awful as some people are making them out to be and whether how the Jets played the last two weeks indicates that they are as good as last years Giants and are going to go on the same type of run the Giants did last year just because the Giants had a similar two game stretch as well. you are trying to claim that because both teams had two games in a row with similar outcomes that the Jets this year are somehow comparable to last years Super Bowl winning Giants team based solely on those two games. that is ridiculous.

and as I tried to explain, to understand that all you would have to do is find out whether last years Giants team is the only team ever to lose two games in a row in such a manner, or whether many, many other teams have also done so. and if all those other teams have done so, and then some won the Super Bowl, and others finished okay, and others sucked, than what you have is a completely meaningless coincidence that doesn't indicate shit about the potential for the rest of the Jets season.

so which do you think is the most likely, out of all the games ever played in the history of the NFL? that the Giants were the first team to ever lose back to back games against two good teams, with the first being a blow out and the second being a close game, and thus the Jets, now being the second to do so, can use that as an example of why it does not mean they can't be good enough to win the Superbowl? or that such two game patterns have happened many times throughout the history of the NFL, and it is not only a meaningless coincidence but that it is absolutely ridiculous to ignore all of those other games and the results of the seasons that the team that lost those games had, and only pick out the Giants from last year to hold your hat on?
