nj meadowlands Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I fail to see how, after coming within a kick of the AFC Championship last year, and having a decent offseason, the Jets are still receiving no respsect around the NFL. I just looked at a poll on ESPN.com about who would win the AFC East, and the Jets finished dead last. So I wonder where this lack of respect for our team comes from. If Chad is recovered, it is my unbiased belief as a fan of football and a knowledgeable follower of this league, that the Jets are a legitimage Super Bowl contender. So why can't we be mentioned in this way? What is everyone's opinion? Pats fans especially, are the Jets ready/deserving to be respected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 the way i see it, respect is overrated - this team plays its best football when they are under radar and disrespected - when they get good they tend to read their own clippings and drop easy games. More disrespect the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Jets fans don't read ESPN.com because it sucks. Only Pats fans read it because they enjoy reaing the ass-kissing of their team. Bills fans don't read at all, so that's a little fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 nuthin' new Jethead the only year in recent memory where we DID get the proper respect due was in 98-the year after our championship game with Denver and we all know what happened then.Anyone with half a brain HAS to see the upgrades and Tinstar did a good job of naming them on the Greenhouse-I'll find and paste.

faba Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I never worry what the so called experts think- IMO the Jets are better off not thought of highly- we seem to play better over the years as the underdog- recall a certain Super Bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Here's a quick synopsis of Tinstar's take; "it`s a better team. Better Offensive strategy. Better Options at WR Better option at TE Stronger DLine/Abe Vilma assuming the leadership role speed and playing making ability at Safety More options at CB/Mickins/Strait/Miller" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why can't we be mentioned in this way? What is everyone's opinion? Pats fans especially, are the Jets ready/deserving to be respected? These polls are a bunch of poppycock. Just my opinion, but I think the majority of Jet fans underestimate all the questions surrounding PennyBoy's surgery. Other fans (and media personnel) can see a starting QB who had major surgery (rather late on) to his throwing shoulder. Couple that with the importance of learning and executing a totally new offense and the need to be 100% by the start of training camp (NOT the start of the season), and there are large question marks regarding the Jets. Jet fans on the other hand (not all, but certainly most), view PennyBoy's situation as "minor" surgery and claim he will have no problem learning the new offense and he will revert back to his 2002 performance level. That's what you call the "best case scenario" for the Jets. How many "best case scenario" play themselves out at 100%?????? See what I mean. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage69 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hmmm... Lets see which Team (I'f I was a writer) I would respect more..A Team that won 3 out of 4 super Bowls or a Team that fell short each year in the Playoffs?? Respect is earned! Lets Win a Championship and the respect will follow! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Perhaps you've NEVER HEARD OF JAY FIEDLER!???!?? If PennyBoy is not 100%, that would not be a bad option. Fiedler has killed the Pats in the past, PennyBoy just chokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomShane Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Get used to this headline during training camp: "Pennington Suffers Another Setback" And these phrases to appear throughout the season: "...It's nothing.
