If they lose to Burrow and Lamar thats fine but a Jets team that is supposed to be on the upswing should be able to beat bad QBs like Trubisky and Brissett.

Trubisky is still an upgrade over last years Ben. Plus it's been a few years since Ben flat out carried the team. Tomlin is a good coach who can get the most out of his guys.

I say that while I still despise the Steelers and afaic they can go winless for the next 5 years.

Hopefully the whole Zach Wilson is ready is just smoke to try and mess with the Ravens. I do wish the season started against any other team though. Even though Flacco is bad, he can at least make easy completions and the offense looked competent last year with him. But the Ravens know him inside and out and are probably going to absolutely wreck him.

Next thread needs a new rule, no posting old Mcmagic takes until after page 10

Edit: if this was a benching they should have brought in someone better to backup. I would expect Flacco to look fine & consistent in camp. But I don't think he will hold up in real games. Plus his age is worrying for when he gets hit.

It just doesn't make sense at all considering they were floating the idea he could play for week 1.

I am still mad because I was supposed to see Rammstein on the Pledge Of Allegiance tour, but they got arrested in Baltimore the night before because they played their set almost nude (it was a Halloween thing). Instead we got an extended set from American Head Charge who are just as bad live as you would expect.

Zach still has believers who know more than me.



Trey Lance started 2 games last season and still had 5 TDs Vs Wilson's 9 in 12 games. Lance is going to start on a team that just got to the AFC Championship game and has a system that is incredibly QB friendly. I would think Lance has a better shot at a good season then Wilson.

Lol I am in the midst of moving and just looked at the Box Score. Old as dirt Flacco throwing over 50 times is insanity. Probably could have gotten Jimmy G for a 7th and his caphit comes off after the season. Nope, Flacco is the answer for almost a Quarter of the season. The guy who did not even want to be here.

This coaching staff has no idea what they are doing.

This dogshit GM and the coaching staff couldn't shut up about how they wouldn't miss a beat with Flacco so I guess we should take them at their word. They have no idea what they are doing no matter who the QB is. Losers who will never win anything.

Mcmagic man, we tell you this all the time, the coaches/front office are never going to say that a player sucks in a press conference. That's why it was so shocking that the Colts bad mouthed Wentz even with him on a different team.

Even if they know Flacco sucks they aren't going to say it because if they are looking to trade for a better backup QB if a team knows they are desperate they are going to get squeezed.

If your going to hire a defensive coach, at least hire someone from a defense first team. Plus if your going to get a first time head coach who was a DC previously, at least get a known quantity for OC. Getting a first time OC because his brother is good is in hindsight a horrible move.

Saleh's defenses weren't that impressive until the unit was loaded with Talent

White and Flacco both suck. At least between the two White is playing for his career, Flacco is just there for a check. But it's all just re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic.

They should have traded for or signed someone better then White, instead of gambling that Wilson would be back from his injury early. Now they won't trade for someone because "Well Mike White knows the system so we're more comfortable with him" but they could have gotten someone up to speed, considering Wilson got hurt game 1 of the preseason. So now it's just shrug shoulders we're stuck with Flacco. Hopefully if Flacco sucks this week they at least give White a game to play cause he can't be any worse.

As much as I would have liked them keeping Streveler around, it's not like his CFL stats were all that impressive. I would have been happy with him as a 3rd string or practice squad guy and that's about it.

I was thinking about it, and the best season during the last decade was the one team that had a good backup QB going into camp. It's amazing.

Like, I know he played a bit in one of those now defunct spring leagues. Can’t remember which one because it’s totally irrelevant and not worth remembering. And I know he looked like absolute garbage in it. Which only makes me sadder that we didn’t get to see him against an NFL defense.

He played a lot for the Eagles in preseason when I think Carson Wentz was still recovering from his injury and they didn't want to risk Nick Foles. Hack looked just as bad playing against second half last game preseason scrubs as he did in the AAF. He was truly incredibly bad and I don't doubt for a second that he threw multiple balls into the reporters area during both Jets camps he was at.

LOL @ the Ravens giving up 6 TDs to Tua. They suck.

Is there more then 5 QBs that you have a positive opinion of in the whole NFL?

I enjoy seeing Tua win, especially against the Ravens. I really want to see him succeed just because people are so angry about him.

If there's 1 thing I'm going to complain about with the Jets atm, it's seeing Hill & AJ Brown catch anything that comes near them and wishing the Jets would have made a move for one of them or another top tier WR that was available. But yea I'm going to be happy about this win till Wednesday.

The Dolphins got lucky that Hill forced his way to them rather than the Jets but you put those 2 WRs around any QB with a pulse and he'll likely look good.

Maybe it helps that the Dolphins look much more competent then the Jets along with the Dolphins having an offensive minded coach. Why would anybody with options choose the Jets over 2/3rds of the league?

2017 was the Josh McCown Jets and the Jay Cutler Dolphins and both teams offenses have only gotten worse since then, and the Patriots have taken a step back too. So that's an easy 6 games a year without giving up more then 1 pass TD.

Oh it's this. Googling him now I've discovered that he gave both his kids with her the middle name Woody. To be Jack Woody Johnson and in High School.

Also I can't blame Saleh for talking to Trump? I'm sure Woody gave him the call, or Trump knows enough that his handlers just tell people "a former president wants to speak to you" so people actually answer.

Because why is a sports team in the US inserting itself into a war that is on the other side of the world that is pretty much just a bonanza for military contractors? It's weird and gross.

On one level I agree with you, cause magically the United States has endless money for a war across the world but not for it's own citizens. But I feel like you can separate that from the fact that the Russians in Ukraine have been pretty monstrous (without going too deep into a political discussion in this forum) and just showing support for Ukraine doesn't really cost anything or mean anything to the teams and the NFL. It's probably less evil then when the NFL goes all Pink to support breast cancer and keeps a ridiculous amount of money raised via pink merchandise for themselves instead of actually going to a good cause.

Also old article, but it's not like the Jets are the only team/athlete showing support for Ukraine

I stopped watching at the Half cause I knew the Bills/Dolphins game was going to be so much better and I regret nothing. My GF was also groaning about having to watch anymore of Flacco.

I am angrier at the Jets for not going for the TD before the half. Your down by 2 TDs and you get the ball back after the half. Take a shot, you have nothing to lose. Playing for the FG was cowardly. I expected 0-3 to start the season, so I guess this looks better, but you take away those insane 2 minutes with Cleveland and this team might honestly look worse then last year.

Wasn't it a few seasons ago the Jets brought in Hoyer for a workout and were like "nah we will go with the 2 practice squad guys"

This Jets team feels like the Kotite era team. The talent is there but the coaching is not. I wish they would just open the safe for whatever Payton wanted to come here. But they will probably give Saleh one more season for no good reason.

Given how cursed the team is they will probably hire Super Bowl winner mike mccarthy after Jerry fires him for Payton.
