Davonte Adams left the Raiders because he wants success
So he went to the Jets??
Carmelo Anthony Syndrome?

Remember the first two weeks of the year where the Saints were the suprise packets, going 2-0 with a points diff of +62? And the Broncos continued where least season left off, going 0-2 and -13
Well we fucking smashed them today, dominated the ground, and the defense only gave up a junk time TD to the back up QBs back up (who should start next week).
Since week 3 the Broncos are 4-1 and +52, the Saints are 0-5 and -65.We look competent and solid. We're not a contender, but we will be in the wildcard race i think. Defence is legit.

He's been my favourite player in the league for years
Freak to be that big and be able to sustain that speed

@mariner4life he's incredible.
Sober NZZP has no regrets. NZZPJr wants to borrow the jersey ... so it's all good.

fuck you fluffybunnies, I'm drunk and Henry is awesome
my post in the India thread. I promise you I didn't get confused. Both Henry are excellent, but I am only buying one jersey

In a game with such a small window of opportunity like NFL, it's been rare for me to see this level of selflessness.

Saquon Barkley wanted the young guys to play instead of going for his record. What a teammate..
Also good coaching.

I was over the moon that we picked up Barkley. Two time pro bowler. Excellent player but also a locker room guy too.
I’m diehard Eagles, but I haven’t always been a fan of Sirianni and his style/antics. Burned a few bridges across the NFL as Ana assistant too. But this won’t hurt the image improvement….

The Jets sacked their coach, got Davante Adams, and got worse. lol.
The Ravens are so up and down.
The Lions are running rough shod all over the league at the moment. Scary team. And yet they are only a win in front of the Packers in what is probably the best division in football this year.
Still a very inconsistent season. The Chiefs look like they will remain undefeated without hitting any heights. But nearly every game every weekend is a lottery.

I am really enjoying the demise of the Jets. Aaron Rodgers is just so easy to cheer against and seeing him fail has brought me a surprising and perhaps slightly unhealthy amount of joy.
yeah, weirdly i am right with you

i just watched another angle of this. The player that ends up tipping the ball in to the Commanders player's hands was taking the piss out of the Washington fans as the play started. Hilarious and instantaneous karma

@KiwiMurph I can't believe so many people are sticking up for him.

As a Jets fan it obviously sucks to lose, but as I was saying earlier, Rodgers off field stuff has always been his biggest weakness. He's a total clown, ond given he has no historical loyalty from the Jets fans I can see him get booed off the field by the end of the season.
Jets fans are basically all hoping that this is embarrassing enough that Woody Johnson gives up and sells the jets. He's one of the worst owners in the league and over the past few weeks he's basically taken over as GM, firing the HC, trading for Davante, agreeing to terms with Reddick (have I had a rant about how awful that trade is? How do you have a guy hold out through 6 weeks of the season that you traded for in the off season? GM 101: before you trade for a guy, either ensure he's happy with his contract or work out a new deal), and at some point in the next day or two, probably cutting the kicker. None of this has any good team building principles behind it, just the NFL owner equivalent of 'one more bet and my fortune will turn around'.
It's . extra frustrating because for about two years around 2022/23 they actually looked like they were doing sensible team building things, and conceivably had a strong roster held back by poor QB play from Zach Wilson. A gun-for-hire Rodgers could conceivably have pushed them over the top. But neither Saleh, Douglas or Johnson were willing or able to stand up to Rodgers and keep him in check and instead they effectively made him the GM. All elite QBs have a massive say, but this was beyond even that.
Tl;Dr: Jets gonna jet. I'm increasingly convinced Namath made a deal with the devil for the win in SBIII.

Cyclops, from watching them a bit I'm still not sure why they are doing so poorly.
The defence is easily a top 10 unit. Rodgers isn't what he used to be but he's fine, and that's more than enough in what is a weak division.
Breece Hall is a good RB, and Allen is a decent backup. And the passcatching unit is great - Wilson and Adams are both WR1s, and Lazard and Conklin are capable third options. The O-line seems to hold up pretty well.
So what the hell is happening? The kicker is the obvious answer, he sucks, but that doesn't explain everything...
-
Because American sports are great for incredible and impossible-sounding stats, here's one to warm the cockles of @Cyclops heart
Since 1940 when a team scores at least 20pts, dont turn the ball over, and defense allows under 250yds the record is 756-0. Well the Jets are the first team to lose in that situation
-
never liked rodgers
but unbelievably i think i might be starting to feel sorry for him!
so arrogant, he went to the jets thinking he could turn them around . . . nah
he's due up on the mcafee show today . . . maybe he'll "tap out"i think johnson stepped in because he got sick of his buddies asking him why the jets are so shit
at least they won't ask that anymore . . . because they know . . . it's him!the bills are the first to clinch a playoff berth
hard to see the pats jets or dolphins winning that division
