   Nugie, Nugie, no!

6. DanBreen, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:40 pm Said:

   1. Jenkins looks great – collapsing the pocket on a regular basis.
   2. I dunno what’s going on with Nugent. Mangini is not going to have any patience for this. That’s a potentially critical miss.
   3. Revis is covering Ginn out of the game. And Lowery just did a nice job not biting on the reverse.
   4. CP (”the greatest QB in Jet history” ;) ) just can’t get it down the field. Their offense looks frighteningly familiar.

7. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:46 pm Said:

   Need more of a pass rush.

9. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:54 pm Said:

   Not a drop, just not enough familiarity between Coles and Favre.

10. Johnny Styne, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:54 pm Said:

    Jones just ran for 13 yds — On one play! –

11. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:58 pm Said:

    Nice patience by Jones. The line created the hole on the short yardage situation. That didn’t happen last year.

12. Johnny Styne, on September 7th, 2008 at 1:58 pm Said:

    Regardless — Coles 1 catch — 1 non-catch in the endzone leading to Nugent’s missed FG attempt — Favre keeps going to Cotchery –

    Coles just dropped another one –

13. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 2:00 pm Said:

    That was pass interference

14. Johnny Styne, on September 7th, 2008 at 2:03 pm Said:

    We’ll have to watch Coles the rest of the game — Maybe Chad sent a text to him, as well –

25. dcpackerfan, on September 7th, 2008 at 2:37 pm Said:

    Wow, Brett will really be good once he knows his receivers better, but I’m worried about the sacks. He needs better protection. The second half could be rough since it so hot. The score should be at least 17 to 7.

49. Joe B., on September 7th, 2008 at 3:11 pm Said:

    Where are all the geniuses that wanted to start Leon over TJ because of a few preseason carries now?

    TJ – 17 carries, 87 yards and a TD
    Leon – 5 carries, 10 yards

    Leon is NOT an every down back. He avoids contact on every play, TJ is never afraid of a hit.

    Good to see The Nuge back as well.

50. Johnny Styne, on September 7th, 2008 at 3:17 pm Said:

    Joe B. — The criticism of Jones was legitimate — This is the most we’ve seen from Jones as a Jet — Damn good to see, though –

53. Joe B., on September 7th, 2008 at 3:20 pm Said:

    Johnny Styne -

    I disagree, I thought the evidence wasn’t significant enough to go crazy, and my quarrel is also with the idea that Leon could be an every down back. Had me thinking what Leon everyone has been watching? An extraordinary scatback, but will never be an every down back.

    TJ ran behind a terrible line last year and still got 1,100+ yards, damn near a miracle.. The fact that people didn’t want to give him a CHANCE behind this line because of preseason is ridiculous.

    The guy is a total gamer and I’m very glad he’s still our starting RB.

54. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 3:22 pm Said:

67. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 3:50 pm Said:

    Johnny, I’d agree with you about being more aggressive if they weren’t backed up to the 7 yard line. However, the defense does need to be more aggressive instead of playing so vanilla. The Dolphins have no receivers, Sutton should confuse this young o-line. It was working the rest of the game.

78. JOhn, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:10 pm Said:

    This was a disgrace, considering the garbage team we were playing. If this is any indication of the future, we are in deep crap. The O line did not look very good today. The D allowed way too many catches form a poor offense. Way too close for comfort against a crap team.

    Some people don’t realize that most of the NY football world is also watching t.he Jets

82. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:19 pm Said:

    Calm down guys. The defense was good against the run which is good. The pass defense was not as good but that should be expected at this point. The o-line has two new pieces and a new QB with his cadence. They protected well and run-blocked fairly well. Where they need work is with familiarity and that will come the more they play and practice together. The biggest thing this team needs is for the o-line to gel and for Coles and Favre to develop some chemistry.

    DERELLE REVIS IS RIDICULUS!!

84. The Ed(itor), on September 7th, 2008 at 4:21 pm Said:

    I don’t like the Prevent Defense and that is exactly what the JETS played on the fish’s 2nd TD. I thought the Defense played well overall. I don’t like Drew Coleman, but he did come up big in 4th quarter. He looked lost in 1st half. And he don’t have someone to kick extra points if Nugent is hurt??? Come on Mangini!!

85. Jose the Jet, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:23 pm Said:

    this game was a learning experience for the jets. Game speed is a lot different from preseason. We shouldve had 35 points in this game. Penalties and dropped passes didnt help us. If we play a perfect game we score 35 every game. Hopefully Coles understands that. Great into at the end of the game by Rev. He looked like a probowler today. The defensive line looked slow and tired at the end. No pressure on our fine feathered throwing friend Chad. It was funny watching the dolphin receivers go long and not get the ball.

86. hank/naples, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:29 pm Said:

    I ASK ONE QUESTION:

    You have seen Farve exactly as he is. ………….
    You have also seen Pennington as he is.

    Was it still worth throwing Pennington .under the B’way Brett Bus?

    I WILL ask this question from time to time on this blog.

87. dcpackerfan, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:33 pm Said:

    Whew, that was close, but a win is a win. Jet fans should stop complaining. I heard that it was an oven down on the field so just imagine what it was like in full pads. Brett will get so much better with more time. He still needs to get in sinc with his receivers, but there is great promise here. Go Jets! We heartbroken GB fans are happy for you.

88. gavinskeen, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:34 pm Said:

    When its all said and done, I am estimating being a jets fan will have taken 10 years off my life. Still, 1-0 is 1-0. Here are my thoughts:

    For one thing, in today’s NFL however you get a win you are happy, BUT, that was the most conservative play calling by this staff on both sides of the ball I have ever seen (well, since last year). I’ll cut a little slack that these guys are used to having to play it this way, but there is a reason we got Brett Favre. You throw that damn ball on 3rd and 7 and you ice the game. Or, hey, you could have run there had we not gone in a turtle shell prior which meant MIA knew we were running that.

    -We have two really good young CBs, though I’ll reserve getting too excited about Lowery until he faces a better offense
    -Run D is vastly improved, loving Jenkins
    -We could put some serious pressure on the QB if we ever blitzed, but good job by the front 7 regardless, Ellis, BT, KJ, and Pace specifically
    -The O-line needs to get better at protecting Favre, nice run game though
    -Loved the gang tackling by the D, they took very little for granted
    -Kicking game is abysmal

    All in all, this is a MUCH better team than last year and to get a win on a day when the kicking game was abysmal and the coaching questionable (being nice) is a good sign, but both of those need to change fast. Bring on the pats!

89. Joe B., on September 7th, 2008 at 4:34 pm Said:

    hank/naples -

    Yes.

90. SackDance99, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:36 pm Said:

    A good, solid win. The Dolphins won the field position battle in the second half because of Nugent’s injury and the play-calling was a little conservative at the end, but this game was only close because Nugent missed that FG and the Jets couldn’t get the second extra point. The defense on the run and on the WRs was excellent. The pass rush was excellent. They have to work on defending the TE, but a nice win in a game that every Jets fan thought was a trap game.

    All I can say about Pace and Lowery is: WOW!!! BT looks like he is back (although, his pass defense is still shaky). Jenkins always pushes the pocket back. Thomas Jones played well. The penalties by the OL were a little worrisome. The hold on Mangold on the first drive and Woody’s false start at the 2 minute warning were not good. But, the OL will gel. All in all, given the 100 degree heat, blazing sun and starting out on the road without a kicker, a very hopeful win.

    The negative: Nugent. I know it’s totally subjective, but I can’t stand him. To me, he’s the final reminder of the Harmway team and I’d like to see him cut. Is Jay Feely still available?

    BRING ON THE PATS!!!!!!!!!

91. SackDance99, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:41 pm Said:

    Hank/Naples,

    Yes. Chad played well, hitting the underneath stuff and making it close at the end, but he could not have made either of Brett’s TD throws. Here’s what you should do every time you want to ask that question, answer this one first: if Favre and Chad had switched teams, would the Jets still have won? The answer is No. That answers your question, so now you don’t have to ask it.

92. gavinskeen, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:46 pm Said:

    HankNaples, no doubt – for one thing, the Jets never would have been the team jumping out to the lead with Chad, we would have been the ones rallying but falling just short, seen it a million times.

93. Johnny Styne, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:50 pm Said:

    SackDance99 — 1) See the immediate calls for Jay Feely earlier in this thread — 2) How can anyone justify the shutting down of the offense with the entire second half to go? — That is not going to fly against a team that has a quarterback — Secondly, we could have lost this game and that’s only because Erica Mangini did not let Brett Favre play in the second half — Again, sickening –

94. Johnny Styne, on September 7th, 2008 at 4:53 pm Said:

    Sorry — I did not (consciously) intend to write “Erica Mangini” — That is not fair — Eric is a man, regardless of the fact that I vehemently disagreed with his gameplan today –

95. The Ed(itor), on September 7th, 2008 at 5:01 pm Said:

    Yes it was worth trading for Favre because Chad, and I like Chad, could not take the JETS to the Super Bowl and Brett can. So the trade was worth it. It is just too bad we have to face him twice a year.

98. R in CT, on September 7th, 2008 at 5:07 pm Said:

    Lowery.
    Pace.
    Jenkins.

    Those three were huge today. Lowery was especially impressive for a rookie in his first NFL game — not only on coverage, but also on run support. Showed great instinct on a lot of plays — goodbye Miller!

    Pace was everywhere — creating pressure and solid in run support. He made Jake Long’s NFL debut ugly.

    Jenkins — nice way to clog up the middle. Seems like a long time since the middle of the pile wasn’t going backward on every play!

    They held Pretty Ricky and Ronnie Brown to under 50 yards — combined! When was the last time this team could say that.

    A little closer than it should’ve been, but a lot of that falls on Nugent. That was at least another 4 points that would’ve put this one out of reach earlier.

    Oh, and nice job by Thomas Jones, who I was worried about. Showed some nice burst — great stiff arm on the TD, too!

    A win is a win. Take it!

     You are a thin skinned, bitter, angry fool. This is but the first game of a long season, and your short sighted biased opinions based on one to many beers are the rantings of a frustrated and angry man.

     The smug and sarcastic rant you offer appeals to NE fans more then to any of our own.

105. Ilan, on September 7th, 2008 at 5:58 pm Said:

     jetchick,

     Thanks for saying everything I’ve been thinking. What’s the strength of this team? The defense. So, you let the D win the game for you. Favre easily could have had 2-3 more turnovers (the attempted handoff to Leon Washington on the fumbled snap and the hail mary no look pass to Stuckey being only 2 examples). He’s thrown interceptions at the end of games before to lose the game for his team so you give the ball to the RBs who had been moving the ball the entire game. When this team needs Favre to win games for them he will be there but this boils down to not wanting him to make a stupid play like the attempted handoff to Washinton and giving the Phins a short field.

     just found this on rotoworld.com

     Yahoo Sports’ Michael Silver says Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the season with ligament damage in his knee.
     Two sources tell Silver that Brady has a “severe” knee injury that “could” include a torn ACL and perhaps other ligament and cartilage damage. “It’s bad,” a team source said told Silver. “We’re going to have to play without him.” Silver is one of the best NFL reporters alive, and you have to trust him here. Fantasy owners should not make a move with Brady until it’s confirmed elsewhere though. Obviously, it’s devastating news for the entire Patriots offense. Sep. 7 – 7:15 pm et

110. Pete57, on September 7th, 2008 at 8:31 pm Said:

     Hank, Chad just played a very typical game for him. He needs a great running game and had none today. It is almost impossible for Chad to play from behind. There was never any doubt Getting Favre was a no brainer. Jets will go 10-6, Miami 5-11. Get over Chad and start rooting for Favre, of course you can always become a Dolphin fan.

111. SackDance99, on September 7th, 2008 at 8:31 pm Said:

     Johnny,

     I thought the Jets poor field position dictated the more conservative approach. The first drive of the half when Favre “fumbled” also set the tone for the more conservative approach. You have to hand it to Chad, he took what the defense gave him and made the game close, but the bottom line is that the Fins only scored one TD in the second half on their home field in blazing hot conditions.

     If I have a criticism, besides Nugent, it would be for Eric Smith. I was not impressed and I actually found myself wishing that Elam played more.

     I got over Chad as much as I Got over the Mud Bowl. I had tickets, hotel reservatons, car rental and the bookies $. Then Todd had a field day. I picked the Jets to go 10-6 BEFORE Farve.
