Give it a break? You are the one that butted your way into this conversation, and made it a personal matter. I don't have much interest in discussing topics with you. You've shown yourself to myself and others when challenged.
The Jets juggernaut defense beat: Jacoby Brissett Mitch Trubisky/Kenny Pickett Skylar Thompson Aaron Rodgers Brett Rypien Josh Allen Trevor Siemien The Jets had 16 takeaways last year. The Dolphins had 14. Their defense is severely overrated.
I butted in because you acted like someone else (TDK) was somehow being unnecessarily insulting given your posting history. And if you don't have much interest in discussing topics with me (obviously.. you lose based on the facts presented), then just stop responding to me. Won't change my willingness to butt in again if you try acting like it's another poster that's being unnecessarily insulting. You have too much of a history to justify calling anyone out on that.
Sounds good. I'll be sure to report your posts to the moderator in the future. As I won't allow your personal insults to derail threads.
Imo, the Jets will split with us and Buffalo and sweep NE. At home I would have them favored vs LA, Washington, Houston and Atlanta. Losing to KC and Philly. On the road I would favor them be Denver, Vegas, Giants and Cleveland. Losing to Dallas. I can’t see them missing the playoffs.
I miss Travis, but he was required to stop posting due to the fact that he now has a prominent position with the Dolphins official media team. Certainly can't hold that against him! Any of us would do it. Just yesterday, I watched a video of his on the Instagram account, and smiled and showed my wife. The other guys just chose to leave us and do something else. Oh well.
I'll go Buffalo Miami Jets Patriots But I wouldn't be shocked by any order of the top 3. Then there's the other option where Rodgers/Allen gets injured at which point the whole division is a guess.
If The Bills lose Allen for any real length of time, then it depends on where they are in their schedule. Interestingly, the only time where they play two Divisional opponents in a 3-week span is facing the Fins and Patriots the last two games of the year. Otherwise, he could miss as many as 5 games and just hit one team in the East. Making it great for that one, but bad luck for the others.
I can understand why many sites have the Jets higher than the phins. Rogers is a simpler and more obvious fix to their problems than Fangio + Ramsey + return to health of our DBs is for the phins. Having said that I’m really excited about our D and think that we’ll be a top 10 D this year. Tom Brady has shown that a 40ish QB can recover from a down year, but I think Tampa provided Brady with more offensive help than the Jets are providing Rogers. I still think the Phins are better than the Jets, but it relies on more things going right for us than the number of things the Jets need to go right for them.
Jets defense is good but they caught a ton of breaks which gets lost in the discussion of them having bad QB play. Its a bit inflated by playing Miami twice without Tua, Chicago without Fields, and New England twice.
Ask any Jets fan, they will tell you the same thing: The Jets defense is good but they never come up with the big turnover and always fall flat in the 4th quarter. They will be playing some better competition this year, not a bunch of backups and third string quarterbacks. The target is on their back with the way everyone is fawning over them. NFL Network was disgusting last night during the schedule release show. It was basically a three hour Jets infomercial.
Any player can be hurt. Someone else mentioned that if he were injured, the division was up for grabs.
I guess that could be said about any team though, except maybe the 49ers. Losing your QB is a massive deficit. Some teams though are much more likely to lose theirs to injuries than others.
I never wish anything bad on anyone purely because of karma. That being said it's only a matter of time before Josh Allen goes down. He plays reckless and takes a lot of hard shots using his legs to extend plays.
It's absolutely going to catch up with him. I also fully expect him to have a pretty severe drop in effectiveness in his early 30s, similar to what happened to Cam Newton.
It happens to EVERY quarterback! Marino at the time was the Ironman of quarterbacks and it was a torn Achilles that took him out. It doesn’t always have to be an opposing defense knocking the quarterback out of the game. That said, Allen does take quite a few hits. He’s a big kid but sooner or later one of those hit may take him out.
Yup. Go through the list of notable QBs who's game was built around moving around and taking open field hits, and nearly every single one of them starts missing 3 to 6 games a season once they reach their late 20s. And then it's a question of whether they then start to really fade off or are able to reinvent themselves as a pure pocket passer. I don't think Allen has option 2 in him.
There was one major exception: Brett Favre. He had 321 consecutive starts from 1992-2010, basically his entire career. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FavrBr00.htm
The top 5 QB starts according to this: https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/top...nsecutive,Peyton Manning ... 5 #5. Matt Ryan are Brett Favre - 297 Philip Rivers - 240 Eli Manning - 210 Peyton Manning - 208 Matt Ryan - 154 Dan Marino’s streak is officially 95 because he sat out the player’s strike in 1987, but if you disregard the strike it’s 145. You notice that after Favre the list is all pure pocket passers, and even Favre only averaged 2.0 rushing attempts per game, with a high of 3.6 attempts per game in 1993 and 1997. In the second half of his career he was a pure pocket passer. Allen is currently averaging 7.1 attempts per games.
321 for Favre includes playoffs. But it's a good point that there are two other exceptions: Rivers and Eli (the one game Eli missed in 2017 was a benching). So a total of 3 exceptions it seems.
If he played in the modern era he would have missed a few games due to the concussion protocol. He suffered a few during his playing days.
