Not so bad after all?!?!

From what i make of this...for a 4-4 start things really aren't looking so bad. We had Coles earn the Offensive Player of Month in Sept. and now we have Justin Miller win the AFC Special Teams Player for October. Not too bad. Things are certainly looking bright. I just pray that the organization does not somehow let go of a player like Justin Miller. He will be a star. We all can argue that we should be 5-3 now, which wouldve been nice, but we barely won in Tenn. and just squeeked out Buff. Things are as they should be. We are a middle of the pack team (at .500) headed in the right direction. We have some good upcoming young stars in Miller, Ferguson Mangold etc. Too many people hopped on board when we were 4-3 and heading to Cleveland talking about how we almost beat the Colts and staged a comeback at the Meadowlands vs. the Pats and we couldve been 5-2 heading for 6-2 or at least we shouldve beaten the browns and been 5-3 with expectations to be 10-6 at the seasons end and in the playoffs as a wildcard. Playoffs? Love to but doubt it. Who knows though. but lets be happy with the way things are going. I still feel that Clemens should get a chance. CP has been okay, mediocre and gave us some wins, but lets give the youth some work....we spent ane xpensive 2nd round pick on him after all. Why not start fresh for next year???

(Nov. 2, 2006) -- Quarterback Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts, cornerback Champ Bailey of the Denver Broncos, and kick returner-cornerback Justin Miller of the New York Jets are the AFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Month for October, the NFL announced.

OFFENSE: QB PEYTON MANNING, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

The Colts' Manning was a key ingredient to a perfect 4-0 October (7-0 on the season), completing 72.6 percent of his passes (98 of 135) for 1,070 yards with 10 touchdowns against one interception for an NFL October-best 117.2 passer rating. Even more impressive, in three of the four victories, Manning led the Colts to game-winning, fourth-quarter comebacks. In a 31-28 road win against the New York Jets on Oct. 1, Manning led two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, the first with 2:32 remaining, and scored the second himself on a one-yard TD run with 50 seconds left in the game. Using a fourth-quarter comeback for the second consecutive week, Manning led the Colts to a 14-13 home win over Tennessee on Oct. 8. On Oct. 22, the Colts' quarterback passed for 342 yards and four TDs for a 140.4 passer rating in a 36-22 win against Washington. Manning concluded the month with a 345-yard, three-touchdown performance for a 34-31 comeback win at Denver. He led five second-half scoring drives -- and three touchdowns -- including two in the last 7:00 against a Denver defense that had allowed just two touchdowns all season entering the game. He also surpassed 35,000 career yards against the Broncos in his 135th career game, the second-fastest pace to that plateau in NFL history (134, Dan Marino).

In his ninth season from Tennessee, this is Manning's third career Player of the Month Award.

DEFENSE: CB CHAMP BAILEY, DENVER BRONCOS

Doing his part in keeping opponents out of the Broncos' end zone, Bailey nabbed an interception in three consecutive October games (all victories), broke up six additional passes, and was in on 20 tackles to help Denver attain a 3-1 record for the month and a share of first place in the AFC West with a 5-2 mark on the season. Two of Bailey's interceptions snuffed out drives deep in Denver territory. On Oct. 9 against Baltimore with the score tied at 3-3, the six-time all-star picked off a pass in the Denver end zone en route to a 13-3 victory. One week later against Oakland, Bailey turned in an interception on the Broncos' 1-yard line to hold on to a 13-0 lead as the club pocketed another 13-3 win. Bailey and the rest of the Denver defense allowed an average of 11.8 points per game in four October matchups.

In his eighth year from Georgia, this is Bailey's second career Player of the Month Award.

SPECIAL TEAMS: KR-CB JUSTIN MILLER, NEW YORK JETS

Leading all NFL kick returners by more than 100 yards in the month, Miller was a significant cog in the New York Jets' special team unit with 652 yards on 20 kick returns for a stellar 32.6-yard average, including two returns for touchdowns. The 5-foot-10, 196-pounder opened October in grand fashion with the longest kick return in franchise history -- a 103-yard sprint against Indianapolis for a touchdown. Miller's second run to the end zone occurred last week. Following a Browns field goal, which put Cleveland ahead 20-3, Miller stunted the opponent's momentum with a 99-yard return. The second-year player recorded a kick return of 50-plus yards and at least 160 kick return yards in three of five October games to help the Jets attain a 4-4 record at the season's midpoint for second place in the AFC East.

In his second year from Clemson, this is Miller's first Player of the Month Award. Miller is the second Jets player to earn a monthly honor this season as teammate and wide receiver Laveranues Coles was the conference's Offensive Player of the Month for September.

Weekly individual awards do not mean much to me but yes the team is progressing. The lack of a running game kills the whole offense including Chad. But I am sure Chad has exceeded everyone's expecatations

I read this morning that Chad has a real bad rug burn on his right hand that happen against Detroit and could have hindered his throwing against Cleveland. Im not making excuses for him cause he did suck but now with the bye we will see how he comes out against the patsies* in 2 weeks.

Some seem to forget that he was written off totally this year. We are 4-4 and he has had some good performances. Hopefully he will pick it up and the C word (no, consistency) will start to be the norm around the team..

You can't spin the facts.;)

Im not denying the facts: you are a troll, you prove it everyday and when you lose an arguement you turn to a different aspect of the point. If you don't see that or are doing it unintentionaly, then that just furthers our view of you as a spinner...

I'll give tx this much: Maroney is a great athlete, and someone i wish the pats didn't have on their team. Millers ability to break one for a TD can change a game though is what makes him one of the best. Id take Miller over Maroney(JUST return wise) any day, but that doesnt take anything away from Maroney's ability to return the ball, much less his skills as a RB.

What arguement did I lose?

I provided the "facts" that state the leading kick-off returner in the NFL did not get the STPOTM award.

The argument that Marroney,who has scored 0 TD's on returns in October deserves the ST player of the month over Miller who has scored 2 TD's on returns in October.

Are the stats that I provided wrong?

Correct...the thread was based on October in regards to KO returners but yet again it has to be completely spun in another direction like 90% of the threads he ruins.

SPINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNER

just read all the other opinions above

this has nothing to do with correct or incorrect stats, which by the way you continually say don't mean squat. This is about how you always take a thread and twist it around to suit your agenda
