The Jets are a hopeless cause. In the other room jetpac and my friend are sitting there. A jet fan and a packer fan, sad...[Edited on 12-12-2005 by yankeekid]

Pennington's career may be done and Martin is nearing the end of his terrific career so there are questions that need to be addressed, but their are fixes out there. Drew Brees, Jon Kitna, and likely Steve McNair (as a salary cap casualty) will be free agents this offseason and Philip Rivers may be available via trade. They have a great shot at getting Matt Leinart or Vince Young if he decides to come out in the draft, or they could possibly end up with Reggie Bush who has said that he would like to play for the Jets. If Bush is not on the board when the Jets pick DeAngelo Williams from Memphis could be a nice consolation prize at tailback. They also need a third (or second) reciever because Cotchery is not the answer there, and prefereably a big reciever because Coles and McCareins are not particularly tall. But that is not a major concern. Also, some of these issues may be able to be solved internally. With Martin out for the year Cedric Houston will get some opportunities to show what he can do. B.J. Askew will get some carries as well and ran well today. I expect the Jets, assuming they stay healthy, to be able to put togther a respectable team next season.

This season, yes, they are a hopeless cause, but there still are some talented players on that team. The offense is aging and will need to be re-tooled during the offseason, but this season is hardly an indication of what kind of talent they have there. Maybe the preseason Super Bowl predictions were a bit unrealistic, but this is a talented, fast defensive unit. It's hard to judge the offense accurately because when you lose both your #1 and #2 QBs by week three it's certain that you will struggle offensively. Throw in the losses of Kevin Mawae (possibly the best center in the league), Jason Fabini (which caused the entire offensive line to be shifted and shuffled), Chris Baker, Derrick Blaylock, and now Curtis Martin for good measure. There's a lot of talent sitting on the sidelines and unable to play in New York.Pennington's career may be done and Martin is nearing the end of his terrific career so there are questions that need to be addressed, but their are fixes out there.

Hmmm... and it took them until overtime to beat the McNabb-less, Owens-less, Westbrook-less Eagles.... Impressive.

How did Moats look? The game wasn't on here, but his stats were pretty impressive.

He looked much better this week than last, actually was able to turn the corner. I'm not sold on him as an NFL running back but he was able to get outside with some good blocking.

I think he averaged 17.8 yards per carry in the first half. I would consider that pretty impressive. And skier yes they played a bad game but they're doing a good bit better than the 3 and 10 Jets.:)Pages: 1 2
