Nice to see hoodie take a foot in the ass, not a big fan of the Jets either though. Not sure I can live with Jets fans if they get to the SB. Can't believe it but I'm gonna have to root for the Steelers next week.

Depending on where you are, you have to deal with Jets and Giants fans. I find the Giants fans more irritating. Jets fans normally have nothing to get excited about.

When I was living in Long Island, I was surrounded by Giants fans. Up in Syracuse, its not so bad. In any case Ruh should not attempt living among NY fans in NY. It sucks for a Skins fan.

What's annoying about Jets fans is they tend to have more bandwagon/fair-weather types. With the Giants, they're pretty hardcore so I can at least respect that.

You can prob say the same about Steelers fans. I def know my share of bandwagon Steelers fans.

To me the majority of Pats fans are just Red Sox fans that have nothing to do i the baseball off season (and still pr*cks).

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

Yeah Pats fans were nowhere to be seen prior to 2001, but that franchise has given fans plenty of reasons to hop on board. Steelers fans are just everywhere, no matter where you go it seems.

Yep, They switch to Giants fans real quick most of the time. As bad as it is, one things for sure, I couldn't imagine having to live in Philly. Thats got to be the ultimate suck for Skins fans.

The only two Jets fans that are close friends of mine have been hardcore for as long as I've known them (25+ years). I think it's the NY press that is hardcore for the G-men, but only interested in the Jets when they're winning.

I must say, I enjoyed seeing Belicheat get thoroughly outcoached by Rex Ryan tonight. Where were the Pats brilliant halftime adjustments? Burning nearly 8 minutes running the ball in the 4th quarter down two scores was unbelievable. Say what you want about how great Belicheat is, but he has lost 3 consecutive post-season games (2 at home, one a Super Bowl) WITH TOM BRADY AS HIS QB.

If only...

Don't know if you guys realize how close we were to having Ryan and Sanchez (and Fassel) here

Only one man stood in the way...[/quote]

I was very much hoping we'd get Sanchez... He was clearly the Best qb to come out of the draft in five years.

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

Believe me, before the Patriots started winning Super Bowls, I never saw ONE Patriots fan around where I live. Suddenly, they started coming out of the wood-work after their 3rd Super Bowl. Many are fans solely because of Tom Brady.

But let's remember that Bill Belichick has won 3 Super Bowls, and lost 1. Same as Joe Gibbs, except Joe Gibbs didn't have a Franchise QB for all three Super Bowls. Also, it was Bill Parcells that helped to turn things around with that franchise. I might sound like a homer, but until BB wins his fourth Super Bowl, I would say he's no better than Joe Gibbs.

So, with that said, I am more than happy that the Jets won. I'm not a big fan of Rex Ryan, but you know, I respect the fact that he and his Jets team has no fear in team. I certainly hope he beats the Steelers. The Steelers rank up there close to the Cowboys in my book! Here's to hoping for a Green Bay VS NY Jets Super Bowl! :food-smil

I'm def. rooting for the Jets next week. If the Steelers make the SB life will suck hard, especially since they'd be a lot tougher to beat if they played the Bears or Packers. Plus I swear if I see Roethlisberger holding up the Lombardi and/or winning Super Bowl MVP I will be sick. I wonder what the headlines would read if that does happen.

Roethlisberger rapes the [insert NFC east team name] for third Super Bowl title?

Sanchez is the opposite of Flacco and Ryan. Where Flacco and Ryan are great in the season, Sanchez has decided for some reason that the postseason is where he needs to bring his A-Game. Though I will admit they won in spite of him last week through the first 3.75 Quarters. It really is remarkable though how well Sanchez has been in the postseason.

For the most part Sanchez was pretty solid this year

Don't you mean NFC North team name? The Least has already been eliminated this year, only the Packers and Bears are left.

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

[quote=SmootSmack;778368]For the most part Sanchez was pretty solid this year[/quote]Ehhhh. His numbers were better than what he put on tape/television (or how he looked in accruing those numbers). And they certainly weren't sparkling numbers or anything. Mere adequacy, kind of like 2006 Grossman.

The Jets still go well out of their way to scheme around his weaknesses, which is the biggest difference (outside of health) between Stafford and Sanchez at this point. I think they (Brian Schottenheimer) do a pretty good job at it though.

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

[quote=SmootSmack;778368]For the most part Sanchez was pretty solid this year[/quote]

I don't know. Considering the receivers and line around him as well as his style of play he was slightly below average if that. Baltimore game aside he played well during the first half of the season as well as a short stretch after the midway point. However there were parts of the season were he was just terrible. Green Bay and the second New England game come to mind among others.

He personally reminds me a lot of Eli in terms of overall production at this point in his career and I have a feeling that his late career will be similar to Eli's as well.

Anyway the point is I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Sanchez at this point during the regular season. Postseason though he seems to do a complete 180. Especially last week where he didn't really have all that great of a game yet he came through in the clutch when his team needed him the most. Today though he was simply flawless.

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

[B][U]Shanahan, are you watching?[/U][/B]
My hat is off to Rex Ryan. He knows how to motivate his troops.
Yes, he can be a rather disgusting human being at times, but his relationship with his players comes first and it is their key formula to winning.
What really impressed me was in an interview that was aired before todays game, Ryan took 100% responsibility for the early season blow out loss to the Patriots. He went on to say, 'when we lose it is always my fault and the other coaches for not preparing the players and game plan correctly.' He said it is never the players fault. Shanny? Thrown anyone else under the bus lately for your teams failures? Shanny look up the word team.
I realize Rex Ryan is not being 100% honest, but it is the message that this sends to his players that is worth its weight in gold and wins on the football field.
Playing football at this level is a lot like going to war. Players are putting their health, careers and life on the line and it can be a very physically painful sport to play. Rex Ryan seems to recognize this and backs his players. His players appreciate it and love to play for him at a very high level... most of the time.

Then in the post game news conference he was clear that the smack talking coming from his team this week was based on his players confidence and not being afraid of the big bad Patriots. That in fact he and his players really respect the Patriots.

My final observation: The top of the AFC is much better then the top of the NFC. Not just slightly, but much better.

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

Good lord, I hope any Redskin coach never acts like Rex Bacondonut Ryan. The guy is a buffoon. I'd be embarrassed to a have a slob like that wear burgundy and gold.

[quote=GTripp0012;778360]Playoff football. Where logic comes to die.[/quote]

lololololololol....clearly. But you gotta admitt Sanchise has grown into his role and is playing at a higher level this year. In his second year he already playoff experienced and shown the ability to be clutch in pressure situations. He looked deer in head lights clearly last year and uncomfortable in the playoffs. This year he has taken the next step. The only great talent around him is his Oline. His RBs, TE, and WRs are pretty average.

Everyone who saw this line after the game 127.3 rating, 3 td 0 pics 7.8 avg woulda said that Brady's line and everyone woulda been wrong.

A slob who's been to two championship games in his first two years as a head coach, and whose players would run through walls for him. Yeah, we'd all like the Joe Gibbs of the world but while we wait for that, give me a slob respected by his players who wins over a good guy who can't last more than two years

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

As for Sanchez, I never said he was outstanding (I'm not calling him the best QB prospect of the past five years) and I'm not disregarding the talent around him. Nor would I have traded up for him (largely because we didn't have the resources to do it and build elsewhere).

All I'm saying is he's improving, he's largely not throwing away wins, he's earning the trust of his coaches and I think he'll be a solid, not spectacular, for years to come. The Jets exceeded my expectations this year. But that's mainly because I thought the Dolphins would be much better this past year and they, along with the Pats, would keep the 10-6 Jets at home this year. But it's a team headed in the right direction.

If we're winning who cares who the HC is. We are just fans, we don't go out to dinner with the guy. What's the worst that can be said, "Your coach is a buffoon?" Any Jets fan would simply say "I don't give a F%#k, We are going to the Superbowl."

What can you really say about that? Especially as a Skins fan. "Yes we are a losing team but at least we have a nice HC" ??? I'd rather be winning! Let's keep things in perspective and give credit where credit is due. The Jets seem to have just the right combo of character and talent to win.

Rex has something to do with their success, Im sure.

Re: Pointing at the other bench (The Jets/Pats Saga)
 

Now I'll be rooting for the Steelers to lose to the Jets, but I want the Packers to beat the Jets in the SB. A classless team like that doesn't deserve to win (reason I root against New England) plus, I do NOT want to see a bad QB like Sanchez or Cutler win after we passed on them.

Steelers fans are getting obnoxious around here so I hope they can be quieted this week. :D

Agree 100%.
This is football not charm school. I would prefer a coach that backs his players and stands up for them rather then our coach that blames the players and ducks for cover when things go bad. Shanahan did show some loyalty.... to his son....over his player.
Rex Ryan wins football games. He is a proven winner in this league.
Plain and simple. Say what you want about his personal life, he does his job and wins.
Some people are are bitter about how bad our team is that they only want talk about bad things about other teams. This is the playoffs, time to celebrate the successful winning teams, not put them down because they are not perfect.
