Well here is my take and I dont really care if you neg me all night long

Nobody on this forum should hate Rex or the Jets. They simply made the moves necessary to improve their team. They jumped up to get Sanchez. They let Rex come in and put together the #1 defense for this season in a defense that wasnt ranked quite that high last year. They went out to get Braylon Edwards to give Sanchez a #1 guy to throw to. They didn't say "Oh, well we made it to the ACF Title game with the guys we had, so we dont need a WR" They went out to get him a weapon that could calm him down back there. Where is our Wideout???? Oh thats right 2WR set with Mason and Clayton, yeah thats not going to fool anyone. If anyone thinks that D Mase is a legitimate #1 receiver then you are truly insane. If we had an Larry Fitz, Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall type of wideout, would D Mase be #1? No. Simply put, we dropped the ball last offseason spending 3 draft picks that amounted to nothing for us, and none of them could have been a legit threat for Joe to use.

Jason Phillips - IR Neck Injury
Davon Drew - Released
Graham Gano - Released

Out of those 3 picks, any of them, we could have picked a Wideout. It didn't happen and I know everyone was like WTH did we just do? Well I will tell you what we did, We didnt give Flacco "that guy" to grow with for an entire season.

I attribute another 2 reasons for Rex's success in his rookie HC year. He doesnt care about character! Yep, throw it out the door and give me the best talent I can get. The other, well he puts his best talent on the field and [b]keeps them there[/b]. D Will shows up and kills it for a 3 game stretch in Claytons abscence....what do we do when Mark got back.....BENCH WILLIAMS? why? he was keeping defenses honest and actually getting deep. Nah, we would much rather have Mark Clayton in the game who is averaging just under 3 catches a game because he might finally decide to play football today. I was appauled when people wanted to hang Williams for not making one circus type catch. Then where did he go? Back to the bench. I dont know where our offense is going, but by the time we have one in place, Ray Rices legs are going to be useless and Flacco is going to be so banged up its not funny.

Lastly, "Play Like A Raven" what does that mean? Surely Harbaugh brought that saying here but he doesnt know what its like to play like a Raven. When our Defense was MURDEROUS and a nightmare for anyone to step on the field against. To get in there and destroy an opposing QB's confidence and just all out POUND THE ROCK down the oppositions throats! Yeah, he wasnt here for any of that.

In closing, I would like to say I have been on this board for 2 years now and I just cannot believe what goes through peoples minds with the purple shades. Pull them up to have a glimpse of what I just laid before you. Feel free to neg me for you are only denying yourself the truth

i totally agree with u!!!
wasn´t a real shock for me seeing them jets go to the title game. won´t be surprised if they go to the sb and even when they win it. just like we where last year. very good defense, but what they have what we have not: an offense!!!!
all we have is ray rice. and as long flacco doesn´t produce better i will not point him out as ther next brady or else. i think he is good but not that good. a lot of work for us coming down the offseason....
congrats for the jets front office for making very nice moves. let´s see if they work the long term. but even if they don´t: they have a shot for the sb this year and that is much more than we do have!!!!

Except wins, apparently. *sigh*

We'll have to wait and see about that. He didn't have more regular season wins than Flacco did in his rookie season and he has the same number of regular season wins.

What, exactly, should we be learning from the Jets?

Pass blocking, sharing the rock, route running, and swagger.

Hey you guys, please go there instead of stirring the pot here.

No matter what, some people will never be satisfied. How many Playoff teams from last year didn't even make it back. Heck, last years Super Bowl participants are gone. One not even making it back and the other got booted this weekend. You can't really expect perfection every year. Sometimes, I wonder if it would be better around here if we didn't make it to the playoffs last year...Seems now the expectations are spilling over.
