Kentucky Jet Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 NFL Headlines MVN - an NFL and pro football blog The NFL Source Buffalo Bills cause fear and loathing in Toronto By Anthony Brown | June 17th, 2008 E-mail | Print | Share It seems the Buffalo Bills’ decision to play games in Toronto, Ontario, (that’s in Canada for the geo-challenged) has caused a degree of angst North of the border. Canadian Senator Larry Campbell has drafted a bill that would ban NFL games from Canada to protect the Canadian Football League, according to a story on NationalPost.com. “We have a vibrant league. We have millions of people who watch it. We have a much more exciting brand of football. And let me tell you, I’m an NFL fan. I’ve gone to the last two Super Bowls, so it’s not like I’m anti-NFL. I just don’t need it in Canada.” The Bills’ move to play two exhibition games and a regular season game in Toronto in each of the next five seasons is seen as a precursor to NFL expansion. Toronto has a CFL team in the Argonauts whose regular season begins June 27 in a game against Winnipeg. Toronto is the home of the MLB Blue Jays and the NBA Raptors. Twenty thousand Canadians cross the border to attend Buffalo Bills home games and a like number may reciprocate by crossing to border to watch the Bills in Canada. Indeed, the Toronto Argonauts are dangling priority access to the Bills games as an enticement sell new season tickets. News of Buffalo’s plan for Toronto led the CFL to end a formal working agreement with the NFL for access to CFL players in return for financing that was desperately needed in the mid-90s. The Americans loaned the Canadians $3 million in 1997. The Canadians allowed CFL players to leave for the NFL during the option year of their contracts. The CFL is in stronger financial health, but the option to bolt for the NFL is baked into the CFL’s collective bargaining agreement and will continue. The CFL is unlikely to convince American players to give up a shot at a NFL club. Mr. Campbell is not convinced that the Bills won’t be a threat to the CFL. “I plan on trying to make it very difficult for the NFL to come into Canada, and I expect that I am going to call upon politicians, both in the Senate and the House [of Commons], to stand up,” the Senator said.

flgreen Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I've been afraid to say it, but I have the same feeling. The National media keeps on saying "Even with all the FA's the Jets brought in they still have major holes" I don't see it Of course there is the QB situation. I'm holding my breath Clemens can play. If not. I think Pennington can be adequate The OL looks solid. The Jets seem to be loaded at RB, WR's are good, if Stuckey stays healthy, they might be outstanding. I hope Baker is on the team, but even if he isn't, the TE's should be a major contributor. All in all, the offense might not be flashy, but I think it will be very good. The defensive line should be solid and very tough. I think Jenkins is going to be the major pick up this off season.. Coleman's a good tough 3-4 DE. Ellis is getting older, but the Dude is still very tough. I've liked Mosley since he came out. I think he has found his spot. The LB's have a chance to be special. Assuming Pace, and Gholston are as advertised, and I don't see why not. this may be an excellent unit. The Jets have two DB's playing at a near Pro Bowl level.. I'm probably in a minority on this, but I really like Elam last season. I've been a fan of the Miller pick since the Jets made it. It looks like the kid has finally got his head on right. If he does the Jets will have 2 #1 CB's. Of course a lot could go wrong between now and then, like injuries, but right now I think this is a very good team.

If he does the Jets will have 2 #1 CB's. Of course a lot could go wrong between now and then, like injuries, but right now I think this is a very good team. a lot of what the media likes to look at as holes are positions that produce tangible numbers. Running backs, QB's and WR's. They don't see that brining in two strong run blocking linemen upgrades all five linemen positions and the RB position. All they want to say is that since we had a weak Oline last year and 3/5ths of them are back this year, they must still suck. Another position the media would miss out on, is the secondary. They are still under the assumption that DB's take over games, which is not the case. It's all pass rush, the Jets brought in two OLBers and have another former ten sack guy in BT that may be pushed to earn his contract. Couple that with a five sack in 9 games ILBer we may have one of the better pass rushes in the league. To me, it looks like a team that is ready to play very stout defense against the run and the pass and a team that can run the football. I'm with you flgreen, i see this being a very competetive team.

I strongly agree with this statement. The Jets only had 29 sacks last season. If all goes well, I suspect they will be in the 50's this year. Your point about Thomas is well taken. We know Thomas can rush the passer when he wants to. If he doesn't want to this year, he will be gone. We all saw in the Super Bowl the impact a big pass rush can have on big games, and teams that rely on a big passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangreenman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 We are indeed a rather strong team on paper. The problem we are going to face this year IMO will be due more to lack of chemistry then lack of talent. When you bring in five or six new starters in a single offseason, have a disgruntled TE, and a huge controversy as to who is going to be leading the offense, there are going to be chemistry concerns - no matter how talented your team is. This is a big part of my reasoning for predicting that the Jets will not win more then 10 games this season. As we continue to grow as a unit and continue to add some new draft picks next offseason, we will hopefully be in a good place next season to take the league and turn it upside down. SB in 09!
