Because the Jets are built on a Guarantee. In 1969 Namath guaranteed a super bowl win and it happened.

Since then they have been trying to replicate that, but have failed. And now they have nothing to lose since they've been tortured for so long.

 

Wouldn't you be delusional if your team had won a Super Bowl with Joe Namath at the helm? And now they think they can win one with Mark Sanchize............:sidelol:

 

They're New Yorkers, it's how they are raised to act. They can't help being boisterous and loud.

 

It doesnt help that the media feeds them.

 

Hey! some of us are smart and became Fins fans. Plus, Giants fans aren't like that. The Eagles and Cowboys fans have them beat by far in that division for being loud and obnoxious.

 

Every team has their share of obnoxious and dellusional fans. I, like most of the Jets fans I know, am very realistic about my team. If anything, I am very pessimistic and always look for the Same Old Jets to show up.

If you are a long time Dolphins fan, you should know that it doesn't matter how good or bad either team is, most Jets/Dolphins games can go either way. I've been going to the games since 1986 and I have seen it all, from the Marino/O'Brien shootouts, to the fake spike, to the Monday Night Miracle.

And I am not sure where you came up with the "every game we play against them comes with a serving of humble pie". You might want to look farther back than last year.

Here's to a good game on Sunday.

 

More than the week prior it's after the Dolphins win and the Jets fans start coming up with excuses why they lost instead of giving credit were it is due.

 

Hey man - I hear you. You can't imagine the ding dongs in Marino jerseys I have had to deal with at the Meadowlands over the years. But I'm not ready to stereotype every single Dolphins fan based on those yo-yo's.

Maybe you are dealing with a younger generation of Jets fan. The ones that have been fans since the 80's or earlier have had the life sucked out of them and rarely beat their chest. I know I never do.

 

Are you talking about the fans or Rex Ryan?

 

FWIW, if I was a fan of any other team besides the Jets, I hate Rex Ryan too.

 

Thanks - I enjoy reading informative posts/opinions of a rival team. That's not to say that there aren't any ra-ra types on here, but that goes with any internet sports forum.

I joined thegangreen dot com...made a few posts (one predicting a loss to the Ravens :lol:) There are some knowledgeable posters there, but a ton of younger "we can beat anyone!" types. Like I said. It's teh interweb. I expect nothing less.

 

Well, as already stated elsewhere all teams have some of THOSE type of fans. But all it means is they're confident in their team. I'm not really trying to be an *** here, but ask yourself this ..are you really that much different? Reread your original post and then decide.
You didn't say "if we mop the floor with them" or even "if we beat them" You said "When we mop the floor with them". Is it delusional when someone else says it and just confidence when we say it?
Again I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just suggesting perspective here.

 

A couple of more games like yesterday and he can proclaim an island or whatever the hell he wants. He was on fire.:knucks:

 

I'm with ya brother.:knucks:
With that said ..I do think we can mop the floor with them.

 

Can I ask why you would be more confident about this upcoming game than you were against the Jills? I can understand not being confident about Minny in their house, but Buffalo? They are probably the worst team in the league. Their offense is pitiful. I know it was a road game, but come on.

I am not trying to start an argument, but I think it wouldn't be a stretch to say that you will being facing a better defense than Minn or Buff....and you didn't exactly light those guys up. I can understand you feeling good about your defense against the Jets offense, but I wouldn't think it will be easy to roll up points on the Jets - and that is not because the Jets defense is a steel wall, but more of a combination of them being pretty good and the Miami offense being pretty average so far. I expect a very tough, low scoring game that could go either way. Wouldn't shock me if it came down to the last possession and a FG attempt.

 

It would not shock me if it came down to a very fat man crying.:up:

 

Hey - Sparano lost a bunch of weight. ;)

 

If I may take liberty...we have seen the Bills do some things to other division opponents on opening day...they are very tough at home and especially early on and Gailey while not a great HC turned chicken**** into chickensalad when he was our OC..those two things had a lot of us worried...The Patriots are very skilled but they have gotten soft since the veteran heart of that D has long left Vraebel Seymour Bruschi Harrison.. The Dolphins are at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to toughness.. toughness is something the Jets are used to having an edge with not against the Dolphins..neither can claim it..to close to call imo.

So I feel slightly better about our chances at home against the Jets than I did on the road in buffalo against a lot of unknowns.

 

Because they are just IDIOTS:cry:

 

This... totally...

My Uncle, and the two owners of the company I work for are Jets fans, all of which are very reasonable fans, with concerns, a light bit of smack talk, but more or less realistic.

Any fan I've ever seen at a bar, or anywhere for that matter has been the polar opposite.

 

I don't agree with the assessment that they Jets are going to look past the Dolphins. I am sure Ryan is reminding them constantly that they lost to Miami twice last year. I highly doubt they will take you guys lightly.

As far as your offense breaking out against the Jets, let's just say that I am as concerned about that as you are about the Jets offense breaking out against you guys :lol: I am not saying it won't happen - they had a hard time with your offense in the first game Miami last year (but not the second). But when I look at the other two offenses the Jets have played: Flacco, Bouldin, Rice and Brady, Moss, Welker - I have to think that Miami's is not significantly better (in total) than either. But that is why you play the games. I think there would need to be some real fundemental breakdowns on either D for either team to score more than 17.

Since I am on your board, I will say 17 - 13, Miami. I am hoping for the opposite.

 

I think the Jest want this game badly, after we swept them sorry arses last year and fat arse crying in his belly.

 

Thanks for the insight :)

 

Credit is overrated. The Jets got none last year when they backed their way all the way to a halftime lead in the AFC championship game. Didn't bother me. Losing the game did though :lol:

 

Props to you for being a half reasonable visitor.

I don't think Sanchize or cheese or hot dog...will have any more time to throw the ball than Henne. I'm going to go out on a limb and say our Defense is better right now.

14-10 Dolphins with a Defensive stand to end the game. Rex cries and the says that we suck and you guys are going to the superbowl.

ESPN then says we are pretenders and we only won because your island was sick. Then they will move you up two spots and us down 3 in the power rankings. 48 hours later, everyone in New York.....cough.....New Jersey will declare you superbowl champions and there will be a parade.

 

That was good :lol:

NY/NJ is still very much a Giants town. There are more Giants fans and they dominate the news with any sort of perceived success. It's like the Yankees and the Mets. No matter what the Mets do, this will always be a Yankees town.

I agree that this will be a defensive battle and both QB's will be pressured. Sanchez showed some nifty footwork last week. Maybe that buys him some time. I have heard that Henne has a hard time when the pocket collapses. True?

 

He is not elusive but on designed movement like roll outs etc his feet are fine and he is willing to take a big shot and deliver...he doesn't have anymore problems than any other QB when the pocket collapses.

 

He won't get frazzled, but he will hang on to the ball too long and take a sack or 2 and stall the drive. I thought the Vikings D line was a good test and he did ok. Their line is at least as physical as yours. I think the lack of time he had affected a few more throws we had planned down field. Jake Long made Jared Allen his biatch. We are used to seeing your blitzes as you are ours. We have the teacher running our D.

I wouldn't trade QBs or defenses with you at this point. I would have said something different about the defense 2 weeks ago.

 

I can't take anything from that Buffalo game. Their offense is utter garbage. Yes you shut them down (minus the one blown coverage), but look what they did this week. 186 net yards of offense. 62 net passing yards. Just putrid. They did manage 20 more yards than the 166 they put up against Miami. Props to them - improvement!

So what I have to go on is the Minn game and I watched a good part of it. And the bottom line is that they only surrendered 10 points, which is very good on the road. But it's not like they completely shut them down like the Ravens did to the Jets. 364 net yards, 156 on the ground...I dunno.

I will be the first to admit that I think the Jets D is overrated. It came up short on a number of occasions last year when they needed a big stop. Their defense's success come from their schemes more that it comes from superior talent. So with that being said, I also think the jury is still out on the Miami D. I think it will be good, but not great. I'm interested in seeing them play against a high powered offense (which the Jets don't have). New England, even with no running game, should be a test. Green Bay certainly will be one as well.

 

Point taken except we really only gave up 3. Ricky fumbled the ball on our own 1 yard line.
