Official Game Thread Opening Day New York Jets vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1 EST FOX

[T0mShane]

Credit to Mornhinweg too. He's ditching the plays that don't work right quick.

[CobraVerde]

Die of AIDS

That's deep.

[Bugg]

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T LET SANCHEZ TEACH GENO ON THE SIDELINES!

 

 

(i'm joking before sanchez defenders get upset)

NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER!

[Thor99]

That's enough of the sniping fellas, we're pretty close to giving out vacations.

[Il Mostro]

goldson is a bit of an a$$hole.  cheering himself for head shots

 

 

We have to draw up a play to take his knees out.  This ^%#sucker deserves it.

[ZachEY]

Please don't do this. lol

 

It's too late!

[CobraVerde]

Our defense has to start hitting.

[sourceworx]

Ok South SHore trash.

Sean??????

[Sperm Edwards]

Time for Rex to make good on his first speech as Jets HC and take out 2 of theirs.  Twice.

[Lil Bit Special]

That's deep.

 

 

What do you expect out of south shore trash?  First move is to tell someone to die of Aids, then hope I die sooner rather than later.

 

Classless piece of garbage that should float away like the dump I just dropped in my toilet.

[Patriot Killa]

Go jets !!! Nice drive for Geno 5/5 44 yards. Lets play good D on the way out of the half and score on opening drive of the 2nd half and get back in this thing !!!! Hang in there guys....

[Lil Bit Special]

That's enough of the sniping fellas, we're pretty close to giving out vacations.

 

 

Ooh!  Ooh!  Ooh!  Can I go to Kauai!!!!

[JohnnyLV]

Geno made the one mistake. But there were a LOT of positives about his first half.

[sourceworx]

Geno's talent is insanely obvious. I really hope that this playing time is helping him rather than hurting him.

He's a rookie. He's going to make mistakes. The fact that he rebounded after the turnovers is encouraging.

[Lil Bit Special]

Sean??????

 

 

May sunshine shine down upon you and shower you with happiness and joy.

[T0mShane]

Literally never transpired.

[Bugg]

Not happening. He's a fake tough guy.

[Il Mostro]

Agreed.  There is definitely something to build on.  Now, if he can only drop back without running for his life...

[ZachEY]

Geno made the one mistake. But there were a LOT of positives about his first half.

 

Well, 2 mistakes.  Maybe 3 with the huge sack.

 

There's been a few things to like.  Nothing we've seen so far says he can't develop into a player, but just as most of us thought, he's not quite ready yet.

[Bleedin Green]

Credit to Mornhinweg too. He's ditching the plays that don't work right quick.

 

But I thought if you just kept running them over and over and over again, they would eventually start to work.  Plus it would catch the defense off guard, because they would think no team would possibly be stupid enough to keep trying the same plays that don't work.  It's brilliance I tell ya.

[rillo]

Geno floats his passes, but yes, he looks pretty competent.

[sourceworx]

May sunshine shine down upon you and shower you with happiness and joy.

I LOL'd at the south shore trash comment. Well done.

[Larz]

jets get the ball first.  it would be nice to see Cumberland back, I don't expect to see kerley again today

 

pretty key drive for geno.  the kid has a fastball, and good poise for a rookie.  sure some mistakes, but I would trust him enough to keep calling some passes on 1st down.

 

I would like to see a deep shot to hill if it's there

[Patriot Killa]

Agreed. There is definitely something to build on. Now, if he can only drop back without running for his life...

He will learn as time goes on that he cannot hold on so long with the ball. Rookie mistakes... I'll be happy to just get out of week 1 with a win. Take the media bullsh*t following up to next game and try to punch the Patriots in the mouth. I hope that's how it plays out at least...

[Bleedin Green]

Agreed, definitely plenty of reason for optimism though.  I'm not even exaggerating when I say that, while his accuracy is in need of a lot of work, he already seems to do a better job of reading the defense than Sanchez ever did after 4 years.

This would arguably be better than winning.

Tough to call the strip sack a mistake. He was a split second from throwing it and the defensive player made a great play. The sack he probably should have taken but he tried to make a play and had no throw away option

[T0mShane]

Adrian Peterson you gotta be wtf kidding me

[Sperm Edwards]

Meanwhile he's completing 60% of his passes.  1 TD, 1 pick, and 1 fumble.

 

Far from the worst first NFL game I've seen.  We see worse games like this from veterans every week.

 

Definitely making some rookie mistakes, but also clearly surveying the field, looking around at more than just his primary read.  

 

Could say he's hanging his receivers out to dry, but another way of looking at it - and the refs agree - is TB is playing dirty, just taking out our guys.  Throw to Cumberland had 3 guys around him and it was dead on the money 20(?) yards downfield.

 

I see big mistakes, and I see hope.  Whatever.  It's one half of one game.  But he looks a lot better/different than he did in that pre-season game.  Which is why you don't judge a player's lifetime potential or worth from one freaking rookie pre-season game.

[ZachEY]

Buffalo in striking distance.

[LionelRichie]

where the f is the running game?

Brandon Weeden has 3 picks so far.

[Sperm Edwards]

Not happening. He's a fake tough guy.

 

Meanwhile you're still criticizing the guy for being conservative on offense in the middle of a game where we threw 23 passes in the first half.

[Sperm Edwards]

Brandon Weeden has 3 picks so far.

 

Didn't he have 4 in his first game?

[Jared]

Buffalo in striking distance.

 

Buffalo's D came to play, and the Pats have made a couple self-inflicted injuries.  Meanwhile the Pats defense has been stuffing Spiller, and EJ has been erratic, but servicable.
