Even though we lost twice to Miami and we've gone 1-3 in the last four, we're sitting at .500 at the half way point with a rookie HC and QB. I think if you go back in your Delorian to early September, 92% of this board would have signed on for that. Fuck, I remember seeing threads titled, "We're gonna be 0-5 after Week 5." So everybody take a fucking pill. I've managed to calm down enough to write a rational post and realize things could be worse. Anybody who's not happy with Rex, have fun beating it to the memories of Herm, Coslet, Mangini, Groh, etc. 1st year coaches this franchise has hired in the past. You're gonna blame Rex for the ST fucking up TWICE, and a rookie RB fumbling resulting in a return TD?? Awesome. That's why I love reading this board sometimes. Intelligence has a tendency to check itself at the door. Expectations change after a 3-0 start, but that was more than a month ago, so fucking forget about it. Opposing fans, good, you shouldn't like Rex and you should have your insults, he must be doing something right. It's about time some people hated us. We've been losers for more than 75% of the time I've been alive, so I welcome the hate.
yeah Jim Norton is a much better stand up and is good. Arties stand up is horrible and utter shit, but he is funny on howard's show.
Actually its 1-4 in the last 5 but I know 1-3 sounds better. My biggest issue with Rex is he has been giving away our future for a win now team. And we are not winning now. Its going to get worse before it gets better.
You got a problem with Fat? Move to France and give our fat asses a call when your serving pretzels and beer to the Fuhrer. This is America and if you haven't noticed fat is phat.
We're not mad at Rex, we're mad at Schotty! Rex has done some dumb things but that's what happens with rookies. I would like to stick with him for 5 years and see how it goes. I think if we kept Rex, Westoff, and canned Schotty we'd be good to go for a few years. Same deal with Sanchez. I think he looks good for a young guy. Especially considering who we have had at QB for the almost 40 years I've rooted for this team.
Actually it went into overdrive when Rex got here. Not just giving up draft choices but young players also.
How is he giving away our future? First off, Tannenbuam is the GM. Secondly, practically everyone we drafted is starting and has panned out. Brick, Mangold, Harris, Revis, Washington, Sanchez, Greene (a little too soon to tell), Brad Smith, Lowery. Obviously there is a couple exceptions like Gholston. Tanny has a fantastic record in the draft (I'd be more worried that he won't be able to keep it up). Edwards is still very young and is looking like he will be a long term target for Sanchez. Jenkins was well worth the picks. Jones was worth the little we gave up. Seems like a good track record to me, and the team is young. What young players did we give up that were better value than what we got in return? Trusnick? Stuckey? Elam? Coleman? Ratliff?
WTH listing picks under the mangini era? Ya Tanny is the GM but the GM and HC work together. Sure Edwards has been a great WR. We got him for what, 8 more games. Then he might stay and he might not - and will for sure ask for a huge contract if he does stay and can manage to keep out of trouble. What did we give up in return again? Two valuable young players and a potential #2 pick...for a WR for 12 games! You better be a playoff team if you make this trade. This is after we gave up a lot to get Sanchise. A young QB was a good move but it should have signaled putting on the breaks for rebuilding. Next years draft is supposed to be one of the best in a long time. How many picks do we have for it? How are we going to improve next year again? Oh ya, cause Rex says we will. I believe him.
I absolutely agree with this. Tanny has been trading away our depth for one of two players like we were a Sb contender for years. Granted the guys he got are good but we have nothing on our bench and I doubt Tanny will pay the price Edwards is asking for if he has a great second half this year. If Edwards goes we have to draft two receivers pretty high this year not to mention somebody to fill Jenkins spot if he is done. Rex can talk all he want you can't get it done if you don't have the horses.
The coach will always take the blame when a team goes cold. For some reason a lot of our fans use any little mistakes to jump down players or coaches throats.
The GM is resposible for getting the players, and I was listing the players Tannenbaum was able to bring to the table. Players that are still on the team. If you are discussing "giving away the future" the only way to do it logically is by talking about the GM. Especially since he has been here for 5 years. Two valuable young players? Stuckey who I liked as much as the next guy but was never going to be more than a 3rd or 4th WR, and Trusnick a career STer? Really? And who is to say that Edwards isn't going to be resigned. I personally think the plan was to resign him along, but how about we wait until the offseason to find out, hmmm? Any WR they drafted in the 1st was going to get a huge contract anyway. As for getting into trouble, who knows, I don't have a crystal ball up my ass to tell the future. As far as I know we will have 4. The FO gave up a 3rd and 5th for Edwards, and the seventh for O'Connell. It doesn't look like we will have to give up anything for Sheppard. And this is without Tanny trading down in the draft to get more picks. When has Rex talked about next year? As for improving next year? First of all it is going to be uncapped, so we can unload bad contracts (Jones, Faneca, Gholston). Second, since it is uncapped we can re-sign/extend players like Revis, Mangold, Edwards, Harris, etc. Frontload the contract for minimal cap hit when an eventual CBA is reached. Third, we can sign free agents. Fourth, draft, maybe acquire more picks. That's just off the top of my head. People fall in love with the number of picks a team has. What matters is how many of those draft picks make the roster and contribute. The Pats had what 10 picks last year, how many are on the team now? 3? 4? Drafting 10 players and 3 making the roster has the same effect as drafting 3 players and all 3 making the roster. Tannenbaum has a great track record for the draft. The question isn't how much he has given up. The question is can he keep it up?
everyone just comes on here to vent, not to say anything positive... every team every year has up and downs and everyone who posts on here is a pretty much a dick bunch of haters and it annoys me which is why this will be my last post ever on these boards. exactly.
The only reason I was mad at Rex on Sunday, was that he started chasing the 2-point conversion thing too early in the game. It was fortunate that the Miami coach couldn't count either. I thought I was looking at two Herm's on Sunday.
Jets fans NEED to be mad at someone. It's always the wrong person, but who cares? Let's be mad at the guy who is trying to bring a winning mentality to this franchise. Sounds like a good freaking idea! :/
