Hard Knocks Jets

[stevewin]

- What's the over on the number of times I need to see Hackett grab Rodger's a$$

- So much playing to the camera - and nice of Hard Knocks to make Hard Knocks such a big part of the story

- This is not making Saleh any more likeable to me

[Blank Stare]

Just watched. Not sure I can make it through the full season of hard knocks.

Not watching "Hard Knocks"

 

Can you explain more about that last?  (Saleh not more likeable)

 

I suppose I've had a little soft spot for him ever since the Bills game where they did this to his SF defense.

I find Saleh to be a blowhard meat head - first ep doesn't change that for me

I know this is a Hard Knocks defense but dear god the offense is unrecognizable in this video.

coach salad tosser sucks. b/w the other coaches in the division, idk who is worse.

That first episode was ALL Rodgers kool-aid, as expected. Cringe-worthy at times. However, I have to admit that, despite my more recent years-long annoyance at the private citizen's questionable information-literacy and smugness, while half-watching the 1st episode I was reminded somewhat of my previous (circa 2nd decade of this millennia) opinion that Aaron Rodgers was the obvious best QB in the NFL. The guy had built himself into the best thrower in the league imho. Really spun it better than the rest with that abbreviated 3/4 delivery (very different from his college mechanics, to be sure). And he had sneaky good movement. 

 

And here we see some evidence that Rodgers might be re-invigorated, and for sure that his ego must be newly defended/supported in this new chapter of his career. It is worthy of some concern. The guy is no joke on the field when he cares. 

 

My hope is that his tolerance for the violence of the game is diminishing, and that his ability to avoid that violence is now more about scuttling plays, throwing it away, and turtling, rather than escaping the pocket and creating off-schedule as he once did often. Gone I hope are the days of him stepping up in the pocket, then back, then up again before releasing the ball. He was a maestro for a while there.

Most shocking thing about this was seeing how jacked Method Man still is. Good for him.

 

Jets still suck.

Two noteworthy things from those offensive highlights: 1) Beasley's role was HUGE in keeping the offense on schedule when Diggs and Davis were taken away. And 2) McD going for it on 4th down early in the 4th quarter UP 10 points was also HUGE.

Saleh doesn’t come off as an extremely knowledgeable “x’s and o’s” guy in the episode, more of a hard core “players’ coach” and motivator. I don’t have a problem with him at all, and actually do kinda like him (besides the team he coaches.)

Hackett on the other hand…

I really hope the Bills kick their ass week 1 and not just for the obvious reasons. The media both local and national drooling all over them like they are the greatest thing ever. It would be nice to shove it right back in their faces. I will be there, and I want to see Jets fans miserable leaving MetLife.

They would be suicidal if the Bills still stomp them even with Rodgers. Jets fans are 100% convinced they are winning the Superbowl this year. It would be glorious to burst their bubble on MNF in front of the whole world

Loved that game.  Allen was 32/40 80% 375 and 4 TD. Only 11 yds rushing but I loved it cause he took what the D gave.  Killed them underneath. He's unstoppable when playing that way

[BillMafia716ix]

Think it was trash personally. It was just an hr long Aaron Rodgers slob fest. Saleh was a bore as well.

Aaron Rodgers looks old

This is the reason why I think the Jets and Rodgers start the season pretty well.  As the season goes on, the temps get colder, NYC light life active and the motivation to stick it to Green Bay starts declining....I think they crash at the end of the year like Miami last year.

It's called the "honeymoon phase."  And let's face it, Rodgers has only won one Super Bowl under pretty preferable circumstances...how many home playoff games did they come up short in as favorites?

 

He may be "invigorated" right now, but the Jests have a gauntlet to begin the season and lets revisit this topic in mid-October after they've faced the Bills, Cowboys, Pats***, Chiefs, Broncos, and Eagles.  I'll go on record right now that they'll be no better than 2-4.

 

Edit:  I just reviewed the Jests' schedule and I have them at either 8-9 or 9-8.  Missing the playoffs again.

First, you have to be miserable to be a Jets fan, it’s a requirement for admission. Lol 

 

Second I expect the Bills to blow the doors off of the Jets week 1. I see 4 INT with 1 returned for a pick 6.  The Bills shock the Jets and run all over them for almost 300 yards between cook, and Harris with Allen scrambling for like 40 yards.  Final score?

 

Bills 27

Jets 10
