sackdance Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I strongly feel the Jets Can make a legit Super Bowl run this year. Let's go Jets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlue Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 yeah but the thing is, Fitz/Geno don't have to beat them. All they had to do is not turn the ball over and manage the game. I'm telling you, if the Jets can muster 14 to 17 points, they're probably going to win the game. And yes,the Jets starters played like crap during the preseason games. All, I'm saying is that they have a defense that I really haven't seen since the 2000 Ravens. They have a real opportunity this season. I know we're all used to being cynical, but we have reason to believe this season. I think people are really under estimating the potential of this offense. Remember the QB is new, his top receiver is new, new offensive system, breaking in very talented by inexperienced players like Owusu and Enunwa. Missing their 2nd round pick deep threat wide out.... Yet we have still shown glimpses of what we can do both on the ground and through the air. By game 7, barring no serious injuries, the Jets Offense will be very dangerous. I mean can you imagine how much better Marshall will be with Smith and Owusu consistently spreading the field? Decker, playing in the slot could get him 80-90 catches.... Ivory, Powell and Stacy will be beasting for sure. (The key is the health and consistency of our offensive line. The good news is we have a very good veteran group.) Combine that with a defense that should be getting back both Richardson and Milner, continued development of Williams, Mauldin and Reilly..... Wilkerson playing for his contract, I mean, how can you not get excited by this teams potential? I know it is early but I believe that by week 8 or 9 everyone will know that this team is for real.

sackdance Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If anyone thinks Fitzpatrick is going to beat the likes of Brady, Ben, Flacco, or Manning in a playoff game your in for a rude awakening. Sadly the Jets have every single piece of the puzzle except the starting QB. Why didn't you mention Luck? A week ago you would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 So the D went from clueless to once in a decade in the course of a few weeks, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOTOWNSELL Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 We have a 2000-Ravens type D defense that you only see maybe once a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I recall Sanchez hitting Edwards in stride for a 80 yard TD in 09 AFCCG, and Holmes in stride for a 50 yard TD pass in 10 AFCCG, and a couple other nice passes in the PLAYOFFS. Yes in the regular season for the most part he stunk, but what he was able to do in those 6 playoff games Fitz would never be able to do, he will never be able to go toe to toe with Rivers, Manning, Brady. Sanchez walked that walk. The key to beating those QB's or any great QB is to NOT go toe to toe with them. The key is running the ball down their throats keeping them off the field and shutting them down with an elite secondary. Last time I looked we are fully capable of doing all those things and we now have a good QB to boot. So what seems to be the problem with talking about the Jets being in contention ?

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 This team is a work in process and I would prefer to take it one game at a time and enjoy the ride, it's been a few years since we have been able to enjoy watching games so no need to hang Super Bowl contenders around our necks just yet, Relax, be happy, Go Jets!

drdetroit Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It is week 3. I know its been a long time since we had something to be optimistic about but calm down. technically all 32 NFL teams are still Super Bowl contenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 how in the hell does Fitz arm stink ? What games have you been watching ? His jump balls to Marshall were terrible. Nice touch on short and intermediate. Long ball blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ylekram Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Fitzpatrick how ever limited fitz may be, 4 td's - 2int., 60% plus completion rate, and a 95 qb rating is getting the job done. any which way you want to slice it. add in a side of a dominate defense and you have a recipe for success.

I'm excited and am gonna stay excited. None of you buzz killers can get me down! You have reason to be excited as anything can happen in this game. It has been several generations since this team has made a Super Bowl so naturally folks are apprehensive when that is brought up, especially after just 2 games. From top to bottom, this could wind up being our best team since '98. Maybe better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 wah!!! Truth hurts I know. Fitz can get us to the playoffs with the supporting cast, but that's where the story ends with his upside, or lack there of. It's a QB league like it, or not.

Vinnie T was a turnover machine before he came to the Jets, now Jet fans see him as Sammie Baugh or somebody. He had a good but not great season and didn't do anything in the playoffs against the Broncos. Lets see what Fitz can do with this offense as he gets more comfortable.

Always look for ways on how the Jets can lose even to the worst team in the league and for extra bonus points use Rex sucks as your signature..

slats Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 how ever limited fitz may be, 4 td's - 2int., 60% plus completion rate, and a 95 qb rating is getting the job done. any which way you want to slice it. add in a side of a dominate defense and you have a recipe for success. Two things the Jets have had going for them thru two weeks are unsustainable. First is the defense continuing to take the ball away five times a game - while once a game turning a sure opponents' TD into a turnover. Second is the 6.9% of the time Fitzpatrick throws a TD when he drops back to pass (for reference, Tom Brady has had only two seasons in which he's thrown TDs at that rate or better). Also, I suspect that the Colts might suck. But it's been fun so far, and there's plenty of reason for optimism. Very happy with the coaching, and getting guys like Sheldon and Devin Smith back should be a huge boost, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was limited in 2009 with Sanchez and his 12 tds and 20 picks but we made the AFCCG.. And I think this D is much better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
