ghost_in_pads02 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 You guys are sensitive! Only played two games and getting upset because someone called the team "shaky"?? You played the Browns and a struggling colts team which the score was still 10-0 way into the fourth. Not i'm trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I think its fair to take a "wait and see" approach with some of these 2-0 teams. Even as bad as the colts played they could of easily won that game.

NYs Stepchild Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 They are not going to get this many turnovers every week. Can they score without them? It looks like they can, which is why I am hopeful, but recovering fumbles is generally luck and they have had quite a few - Gore spitting the ball up while he was walking into the end zone? As long as we keep teams scrambling, and out of rhythm it's all good. A 3 and out is as good as a turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat them now they're garbage? Cant have it both ways. The colts were in the AFC title game last year, correct? Correct. For the most part since Luck was drafted they have been a fairly good team, playoff bound correct. Correct. I think anyone who watched enough football would think, even if the Colts don't make the playoffs this year, they are clearly struggling. They won't play that bad all season. I never called the Colts garbage. And it wasn't far fetch to pick against the jets away on Monday Night either..i mean that is what betting is all about. This was only week 2. even if you guys were 1-1. nobody beside jets fans should be considering your team out of any playoff hunt. week 7 is about right to judge a team. And just in case you or anyone is thinking it, i'm not down playing your win against the colts, or dissing the colts to diss the jets. Just as good as your defense played, it was still 10-0 and could of easily been tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Forget even looking at only the Jets here, as there's even more questionable parts about this article. It starts off citing instances of teams starting 2-0 and still missing the playoffs, with the Texans being the only team that did that not just once, but twice in the last 2 seasons. Yet now suddenly they're in the category of 0-2 teams who could be looking at the playoffs? Barring some sort of massive upgrades to the team, which certainly did not happen, that would seem to defy logic. They're the most blatant example of a team that starts off hot still coming up short, so what possible reason would be there to believe that same team could be in contention after not being able to do even as much as they did during their prior years failures?

bitonti Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 while this blurb obviously has it's flaws the Jets have been getting uncharacteristically good bounces as of late. For example the Frank Gore "fumble for no reason" or when Fitz was obliterated in Week 1 and somehow ended up with the fumble recovery. Or how about Bilal Powell getting the ball back even though the Colts came away from the pile with the ball? It's not clear that this level of success is sustainable.

Savage69 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Wasnt sh*t shaky about 10 turnovers, 51 points scored and just 17 points allowed. In 2009 the team gave up 14.8 points per game and I think this D is much better. That team didn't have Mo,Sheldon,Little Kitty,Snacks,Coples,Davis,Cro. plus the new DB's Mac brought in.. The D players in 09 was Revis,Harris,Ellis, Big Jenks(Who played 6 games) Rhodes, Pace,The Ghost,Jim Leonhard,Bart Scott,Pouha,BT,Mike Devito, Lito Sheppard and Eric Smith.. And now we have Todd Bowles as HC instead of what's his name who everyone knows was the worst Coach in NFL history and made Kotite look like a HOF'er..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With talk like this, I'm glad there's conflicting reports of us being "shaky". Of course I've looked at our schedule and came to same conclusion that week 7 could potentially be an undefeated battle, or even with the Jets having one loss would still be a battle for 1st. But we have been a bit shaky. That offensive stall for a large part of Monday night is nothing to glance over. They better not be comfortable because there's a ton to improve on to hang with Pats/Packers/Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWhofans Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Wait, your not expecting the Jets to lose this week. You know playing with house money like on Monday I dont know about this week. It's a very odd position. On the one hand, I think the Jets are better than the Eagles and should beat them. On the other hand, if they lose this week, they will be 2-1, which is not horrible, and they will be refocused for an arguably much more important game against the Dolphins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep winning it will be funny to see how everyone changes their tone. If we beat the Eagles, we will not get any credit-- just that the Eagles aren't that good.

predator_05 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The jets are one of the most stable teams in the league. No real struggles at any position. Clearly defined roles for players on offense and defense. Good game plans. Injuries could happen at any time, like with any other team, but this team is not 'shaky' at all.

Usually something like "business as usual". it's how you are looking at it. Not saying the defense didn't play well, because they did. They are good and will remain to be good, but still 10-0 late in the 4th is still 10-0. That's pretty manageable for any NFL team to overcome (ivory did struggle to get off against a well known weak run defensive team). . and if the game is tied at any point, the play calls become different. You can't always look at situations as the glass 1/2 full all the time and ignore any type of criticism, or objectivity, which honestly most of you guys have been so far(objective). and perception is reality too. If a team as been good for a fair amount of years, than they reserve the right to be viewed a certain away. Same goes for a team that has been bad for a fair amount of years. jets go 9-7 or whatever and make the playoffs. Nobody can say sh*t about "the jets" being "shaky" show n prove.

Just as good as your defense played, it was still 10-0 and could of easily been tied. It "could" have easily been tied? The Colts played from behind the entire game. The problem with Jets fans is that they're overly pessimistic on their own team yet get pissed when Francesa says the same. The Jets beat the Colts handily, the same with the Browns. And because of the fashion in which they won its a bit bull to support the "Shaky" statement when they've not shown any shakiness in their performance so far this year. As for your Colts statement, this is a team that many people agreed was a SB favorite, the reason why the "struggling" excuse is used is because they're getting exposed for being a team that cannot stop dominating defenses. And of course they wont play bad all season, they get to play the Texans, Jags and Titans a total of 6 times this year. So when they end up 11-5 again and everyone is "praising" Luck, remember that this was still the team that many Jets fans bet on to most likely beat their team...and when they didnt they created excuses like "It would have easily been a 10-10 game" though if you were to ask Luck how "easy" it could have been his answer would have been that he was looking up at the roof of his stadium all game because he was on his back. The Jets are a solid 2-0 team because they have two solid victories. Anything else beyond that fact is nothing but an excuse by Jet fans scared to believe that their team is actually good.

GKnight83 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 wait in other words, you have yet to even watch a Jets game this year right? Because if you had, then you would most certainly know that neither of the two players that you mentioned have even played a down yet this year. Yes, I have watched both games and know the two players have not even played yet. That is my point. While the person I was responding to might have been using sarcasm, I still do not believe the addition of the three players he mentioned even remotely remove the Jets from the "shaky" category.

Jettington Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The media is so ridiculous... After week 1, the story was "you just beat the Browns let's see what happens when you play a real team!" After week 2, the story was "you just beat a Colts team that is in complete disarray, let's see what happens when you play a real team!" In spite of the fact that many people picked the Colts to go to the super bowl. Now for week 3, we are playing the Eagles, many media members' pick to make the playoffs and go to the Super Bowl and now suddenly winning this game won't mean a thing because of how the Eagles have looked in the regular season. We are gonna continue to have doubters because we don't play any serious contenders until New England at the end of October. Just keep winning in the meantime.

Villain The Foe Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Have to disagree.

Enough so to be considered "shaky". Again with the excuses. All teams play with injuries. Cromartie wasnt 100%, Devin Smith isnt on the field so we dont have a deep threat because of broke ribs and the Jets had to start their season with their back up QB. Of course that doesnt apply to us because Jets fans must make an excuse when the Jets win. At the end of the day when the Colts finally scored in the 4th qtr isnt wasnt like the game ended 10-7. The Jets offense immediately marched down the field and scored a TD, then they stopped the Colts, marched down the field again and kicked a field goal. The Jets offense scored 10 of their 20 points in the last 6 minutes of the game, and put the Colts ass away. Thats called being SOLID. And the reason why it was 10-0 is because the Jets OC was calling conservative plays in order to run the clock. When the Colts put up points, you seen what that offense did.

Lego My Lageman Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The turnover lines are such bs. We got zero sacks, realistically we could have had 3-4 sacks and 1-2 turnovers. Luck is a bit of a risk taker and threw some bad balls caused by all the pressure. We dont need to bring the house AND have GREAT man to man guys. The turnovers are just a product of the pressure and either way we arent a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets fans are the absolute worst! lol. How about when Gilchrist "magically" dropped Lucks 4th thrown INT? And yeah, it was 10-0 well into the 4th qtr but that was based on the fact that Gailey called a more conservative game during that lead in order to keep the clock running. The moment the Colts scored what did that Jet offense do? Let me tell you, they scored 10 points in the last 6 minutes in the 4th qtr, meaning that they doubled their points output that was "well into the 4th qtr" in 6 minutes.
