The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

A 1-4 starting record doesn't inspire Super Bowl aspirations for me. Maybe it does for Rex Ryan's group of misfits, and maybe dreaming of being a team that comes back from a 1-4 start to win it all is the motivation that they use to get by each day.

Whatever the case, the formerly-named Titans will lose four out of their first five games, hopefully knocking them off their high-horse and back down to the cellar where they belong. The 2010 New York Jets are a collection of has-been's, wanna-be's, and never-will-become's that are writing checks that Goldman Sachs won't even cash.

Why will they start 1-4? Here's why:

Game 1: vs. Baltimore
Joe Flacco is going to expose their over-rated, aging defense and strike with aggressive precision. Baltimore's defense is going to pick off Mark Sanchez so many times that the Jets will think Jay Cutler is their starting QB.

Game 2: vs. New England
I feel a strong performance from the Patriots this season. Hey - they won their division last season!

Game 3: at Miami
Last year, the Jets lost both games to the Dolphins, including that wild Monday Night Football game where Ted Ginn actually caught a pass or two. Miami will again find a way to edge out the Jets

Game 4: at Buffalo
Of course the Jets will win this one - it's Buffalo!

Game 5: vs. Minnesota
The Vikings will show the Jets what would have happened had the Jets known how to hold on to an 11-point playoff lead and had Brett Favre not given the game away on one of his signature across-the-field interceptions. If you're not following that - the Vikings would have killed the Jets in the Super Bowl, and the same will happen here in week 5.

It will be great because Brett Favre is getting tired of the Jets stealing the spotlight away from him.

I'd be careful about giving Minnesota wins.  They have lost 2 starters from last year's team at least for the first part of the year and a third is having headache problems.  On top of that Favre is kinda gimpy right now and one good hit could knock him out.  Then there's always the possibility that Favre isn't able to reproduce the phenomenal year he had last year especially at his age.  I see Minnesota struggling a bit this year.

Throw enough crap against the wall, something's bound to stick.

Not this one though...the steamy mess slid all the way to the floor.


That said, if you play both sides of a matchup, one of them is bound to win...

^^^^  I am now hoping for a tie week 3 between Mia and Jets, so Jtex can be wrong in both threads. 

LMFAO!

2 hours to Kick off!  I really think I'm looking more forward to seeing the Jets beat , then the Dolphins win.

Go Ray Lewis. Don't let me down now! And if you chase a player out of bounds and "accidental" knock Rex Ryan's block off...........I will never ask for anything again.  >:D

The jets look like a really poorly coached team. And they're losing at the half

you guys are smoking rocks, the jets are going to win at LEAST 12

so much for the big mouth jets... they get it 4th and one, ready to score a td, and decide their not tough enough to get the one yard.

The Jet offense is terrible.

I had a feeling this would happen. Way too much hype. The only reason the Jets are still even in the game is because the Ravens have found ways to turn over the ball.

Granted, the Ravens D is tough but the Jets havent made one significant drive all game. If you are a "Super Bowl" caliber team then you should be able to mount some sort of offense in spots.

the jets suck

Holy shit Tepop and I actually agree on something.  Dustin Keller is a moron.  Goes out of bounds a yard short on fourth down when he could have easily had three more yards on that play.  Ah, that made my day.

Rex Ryan made a spelling error....it should have said, "soon to be chumps"

YES!!!!!!!!  Did you see that hit Ray Lewis put on that receiver at the end of the 4th? That was a clear message to Rex to STFU.   Don't be cashing checks you can't cover. Ray has a Ton of money in the bank!

I gotta admit, The Jets have a Sick Run defense. I mean they are all over it. But even though they have great athletes, they are not a Team. Undisciplined. never saw such a penalized Team. They beat themselves. Fun to watch and Sanchez already has a Limp!

Is it me or is that Jets team a super poorly coached team?

Watching Rex Ryan squirm around on the sideline knowing he had no chance to win was a great sight to see. The Jet players, coaches, and fans looked like hey had all the air sucked out of the hype balloon pretty easily. Ryan looked like a beaten man way before the final whistle.

I have a feeling this team will self destruct. Hard knocks, the media, talking heads, and Ryan himself pumping up this team is already starting to backfire... Hard to live up to that kind of hype when you finished the year before at 9-7.

I enjoy the phrase Rex Ryan likes to use, "Play like a Jet."

Does he mean they should play really crappy like they have for the vast majority of the last 40 years or is he referring to West Side Story:  "When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way..."   Then the dancing begins.

10-21 for 74 yards. lol

I love seeing the Jets suck.  They got every break and still sucked.

As the great Nelson Muntz says, "Ha Ha!"

Kind brings us all together no?!   ;D  Right now I love each and every one of you!  Hows it feel to be on that winning Team now JT!!?   :D :D :D

It was really odd watching JT in that jersey.  It didn't bother me so much to see him as a Redskin, but as a Jet it kinda hurt.

Wow, what a surprise. A team from New York was over-hyped.

Back in April in hurt. Now I'm loving it .

What happens to the Jets, as a team, if they really do go 1-4? I mean, the way Rex Ryan has them pumped up, the attitude, the arrogance... I'm just not sure that can survive a 1-4 start. The team could complete implode.

And, like everyone else it seems, I think the Jets look very poorly coached. I enjoyed Hard Knocks, but it showed one thing very clearly: Rex Ryan is a piece of sh*t. I'm ashamed to admit I kinda liked his brashness last year, when all I saw was the occasional interview. Other (Jets) coaches came off a lot better on the show (as did Tannenbaum). The running backs coach, in particular, seemed to really have his shit together and worked well with the players.

I didn't see a poorly coached team, I saw a poorly coached offense.  I saw an offense that has been coached to be conservative, don't make mistakes, don't go down the field when you can check it down underneath, don't try to win the game, just make sure you don't lose it.

That's a mistake, even when you have the Jets D.

if a team defense allows the other team to convert a dozens times on 3rd and long because of stupid penalties...the defense is poorly coached.  no two ways about it. 

Are you kidding? I don't have the exact # handy , but the defense was flagged for what seemed 50 + yds on penalties. All at VERY bad times. One of them turned a 3 pointer into 7 by giving them a first down on 4th .  That defense is SICK. But poorly coached. Monday night anyway. Miami will have to air it out against the Jets.

I thought that was a bit of an aberration and I'll also give credit to the Ravens offense for forcing a lot of those penalties.  Time after time Flacco picked on the rookie DB who had several of those penalties.  That's smart football by the Ravens and yes Rex probably should have backed off, but still they were in the game till the very end despite the fact that his offense was putrid.  They still had a shot to win the game when a WR runs out of bounds a yard shy of a first down.  Penalties are going to happen especially when you play the sort of D they do, but running out of bounds a yard short of the sticks on 4th down is poor coaching.

I also think that is what you get when you coach a conservative offense.  You get an offense that's not prepared to have to win the game at the end.

^^^ I cannot disagree more. Even people who have never played the game of football know you can't run out of bounds a yard shy of the marker on fourth down. It was a player's error the whole way. A professional football player shouldn't have to be coached to not run out of bounds shy of the marker with the game on the line.

I hear what you are saying, but on the other hand how often do you see this happen to a team like Indianapolis let's say?  I think it does indicate a less disciplined/less aggressive approach.

Seriously, what football mind could possibly pick the jets as super contenders when the weakest link on the team is the QB.  I said two years ago the guy benefited from a weak QB draft class. If bradford had come out that year he would've probably been a mid to late first round pick, not top 5.

I was never impressed with him at USC. You dont just get rid of a pro bowl guard in faneca, and a 1,500 yard rusher in Thomas jones and think you're better. Ohh, and just think had Revis held out a few more weeks he could've owned half of the team.

It all comes back top sanchez, he's horrible. Ray Lewis knew it that's why he called him out last week. Speaking of the baddest man on the planet he's still playing with that fire. intensity , and leadership. Sugar Ray was on his game last night.
