Joe Namath wants Jets to clean house & start over
Albany,n.y. replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
Reading comprehension, pal. I stated: Between your revisionist history and the conspiracy theory that Super Bowl III was fixed, this thread is getting pretty strange. Your revisionist history and the conspiracy theory that someone else mentioned are two separate things, that's what the word between means. That's why it says THIS THREAD is getting pretty strange. I expect your apology soon. New Topic: The Jets have solved their QB problem with the return of Trevor Siemian. -

Shula wasn't fired by the Colts. Between your revisionist history and the conspiracy theory that Super Bowl III was fixed, this thread is getting pretty strange. The relationship between Shula and Rosenbloom had soured after Shula's Super Bowl loss in 1969, and when Miami Dolphins owner Joe Robbie offered the coach a $70,000-a-year contract, the powers of general manager, and a 10% ownership stake in the AFL team after that season, he jumped at the opportunity.[48][49][50] Rosenbloom cried foul at an NFL meeting in 1970 in Hawaii, alleging that Robbie's hiring of his coach violated the league's prohibition on tampering, or negotiating to hire other teams' employees without seeking permission.[51] Shula and Robbie hoped that Shula's ownership stake and status as his own general manager would avoid tampering penalties under an exception for an employee leaving a club to "better himself".[49] League commissioner Pete Rozelle found the Dolphins in violation of the tampering policy because they didn't seek permission to negotiate and didn't notify the Colts of the hiring before its announcement.[51] As punishment, Rozelle awarded the Colts Miami's first-round pick in 1971 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Shula -
TBD Survivor League Discussion thread...

I used Philly & KC in week 4. I put KC on the one I didn't already use them on, so after this week I can't use KC anymore. We've lost close to 2/3 of our entries so far but my 2 are still alive. -

Nobody knew that the only highly ranked QB in the 2021 draft who was any good would be Lawrence, who the Jets lost out on by winning 2 games in a year Jacksonville only won one. Certainly not SF, who traded multiple 1sts for Trey Lance, nor the Bears who traded up for Justin Fields. The 2 recent years the Jets drafted QBs those drafts were loaded with 1st round QB busts. Sort of like the year the Bills forced themselves to draft a QB after letting Fitzpatrick go & ended up with EJ Manuel. -

Douglas, who came in in 2019, drafted Wilson, but the GM who drafted Darnold in 2018 was Mike Maccagnan -

In 2017 they could, not in 2023 (nor 2022 when they both played their way out of the NFL, including benchings for both of them) . -

Ryan is so washed up, he never has to bathe again & Wentz is trash. If a guy is on the street after week 1 there's a reason. More like NEITHER guy would make them a tough team to beat. -

Sure, NFL teams are lining up to help the Jets. The best they can do is someone else's 3rd stringer or a street free agent(who is on the street for a reason). It's too late to get someone else in to salvage the season, they had the offseason to do that & failed to get Rodgers an adequate backup, probably because they already had too much cap money dedicated to the QB position, because of the drain Wilson's 1st round contract caused, and Rodgers huge deal. -

White left as a free agent and returned home to the Dolphins. He wasn't interested in returning to NY when he could play where he grew up. -

Have you seen Wentz play the last couple of seasons? If you're looking at stats, he looks a lot better on paper than he has on the field. Since the teams look at film instead of stat sheets, they've seen enough to not want to sign him. He reminds me a lot of Paxton Lynch who was last seen playing in the XFL. -

Russell & Leaf also made it 3 seasons, which appears to be the path Wilson is on. Only the 49ers had the courage to dump Lance after 2 seasons, mainly because they had a starting QB on a 7th round rookie contract & were better able to withstand the cap hit trading Lance triggered. Trubisky got 4 years in Chicago. Nobody wanted Wilson's contract so the Jets were better off cap wise keeping him, although they could have brought in someone else behind Rodgers & kept Wilson on the bench. The problem was they didn't have the guts to say he is a bust & relegate him slowly into oblivion. -

I heard about a story from a long time ago in Buffalo. Joe Namath was in Buffalo & this heavy-set woman comes up to him & tells him that he's her favorite player. He signs an autograph for her: "To my biggest fan, Joe Namath" -

He's blaming them for drafting Wilson & not replacing him by now. Imagine if we had drafted Rosen & then brought in a veteran to replace him in 2020 & had to keep Rosen for salary cap reasons and the veteran got hurt & was out for the season in the 1st series. This board would be calling for Beane's & McDermott's jobs. Heck, people are calling for their jobs every day around here now. -

A Few Thoughts from the Commanders Game.....in no particular order
Albany,n.y. replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I had a few problems with the broadcast crew. On an obvious Bills 1st down on a running play, they said he was short. On an obvious Offside they were clueless what the flag was for. Finally, Matt Ryan got his teams mixed up. He said he was with Van Demark in Atlanta when it was actually last preseason in Indianapolis. I guess that whole Indy experience last season is something he wants to forget. -
How many points will the Fish score this week?
Albany,n.y. replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
77, this time they go for the record. Unfortunately for them, the Bills score 84, on 2 late TDs, win by 7, and get the record that Miami thought they had achieved. -
He made his money coaching a HOF QB. Now he's coaching a washed up QB who is draining the salary cap & his D is bad. A lot of coaches who are average look great with a HOF QB. That's why when you look at their records without the HOF QB, they're very mediocre. QBs make coaches, not the other way around. QBs ruin coaches, not the other way around.

Will you say the same thing when Hailey is in a box with Josh's parents & they keep showing her cheering every time Josh throws a TD? Why? The place is empty except for the fans passed out on the floor.

We lose 47 more suiciders if Arizona wins.

INT, you can start laughing again.

Don't laugh until the game ends. Arizona blew last week's lead vs the NYG.

Mahomes done for the day, rested in the 3rd quarter leading 41-0. The Bears are who we thought they were!
