I love the sentiment, but in a league with a salary cap he didn't take money out of an owner's pocket, he took it out of those of his teammates.

It's amazing how often commentators overlook this basic fact. How many times have I heard "experts" bemoan the poor sods who complain about high salaries with "why shouldn't they get paid rather than leave it in the pocket of billionaire owners?"? If I've heard it once I've heard it a 100 times. Yes, there is still the occasional resentment of why should players make so much money playing a "game." That's lame. But generally now when fans complain about a players' salary its because it takes up too much cap room and keeps a team from paying other players, not because they resent his richness.
He's a mercenary who was a great player in his prime and has maximized his value in a system that fucks over players. Nothing but respect for him. The fact he played one year in NE and won a ring and now will spend his twilight years wrecking the dumb starfucker Jets salary cap is just the icing on the cake.
Exactly. He's Johnny Damon; our guys bought low, sold high, and got a ring out of the deal. Good for him, good for us.
The worst thing for me was Andy Reid (on offense) totally out-scheming the Jets in the first quarter. After that this game became both teams trying to lose.
Apparently Eric Decker has a serious injury. May not be season ending but serious.
This week is huge for them. It's winnable since it is home, Wilson is banged up, and 1pm game for west coast team. Their next 4 are vs. Sea, @ Pitt, @ Az, vs. Bal. If they won't win this week it is hard to see them winning 2 of the next 4. 1-3 would put them at 2-5 and in a pretty big hole. Second half schedule is super favorable but that's a big hole, but the 2nd half includes both Pats games.

“I am going down in the boat with Ryan Fitzpatrick,” Marshall said, according to NJ.com. “OK? You got it? Can you not ask my any more questions about it? I am going down in the boat with No. 14.”
I freaking love this quote, because he doesn't realize (or maybe he does?) that he is conceding that the boat is, in fact, sinking.
Where is SSF???

I am shocked that paying top dollar in 2015 to recreate the 2010 secondary turned out to be a long-term failure rather than replicating the glory days that were back to back AFCCG losses.
Also surprised that Ryan Fitzpatrick did not, indeed, become a quality NFL starter on his sixth team at age 33.
Just 47 years of bad luck I guess.

Fitz has thrown 25 picks in 20 games for the Jets.
Playoffs included, you have to go back 43 games to get to 25 picks for TB12.

The secondary/coverage in general has big problems. We cant cover the tight end at all. We cant cover the deep ball at all. The QBs we're facing are getting the ball out quickly (to my eye, I havent looked it up). Lombardi was talking to BS about sacks being from coverage and picks being from pressure. We cant cover so the Dline cant get to the QB. We cant cover, so how the hell can we blitz to get pressure to force turnovers (it's a bit of a catch-22).

Jets CB Darrelle Revis has a mild hamstring strain, per Todd Bowles.
Sure. Mild. I think we know where this is headed.

Jets fall to Steelers to go 1-4. From TGG charting NY's 2nd half scoring:
Their secondary is now officially a mess with Revis' injury/age and Gilchrist forced to roles he's not great at. Add Decker's injury and the usual ups & downs of Fitzy and they're realistically looking at 1-6:
- Week 1 - Jets 6 points (opponent 10)
- Week 2 - Jets 17 points (opponent 21)
- Week 3 - Jets 0 points (opponent 7)
- Week 4 - Jets 7 points (opponent 13)
- Week 5 - Jets 0 points (opponent 14)
- Jets have scored more than 7 points in the second half once in 5 weeks
- Jets have failed to outscore their opponents in the second half in every game
- @ Cards
- vs Ravens
1-4 is horrible
The silver lining is the 4 were
Cincy
KC
SEA
PITT
and it gets slightly better from here

Everything Bowles has done has been defensible up until that punt. That was a really bad decision
The 2nd half is much, much easier, but there are the two NE games. NYJ has to get healthier though. Besides Mangold, Harris was also hurt.
Sucks to lose a game when Fitzy threw zero INTs.
The posters at Gang Green sound depressed/suicidal.
"fan since '85 and I can count on one hand the number of enjoyable seasons in that time"
"You know, it's funny. I have been a member here since 06, and when I first came onto the scene, I thought the dark sider stuff was silly. I would mock people who were perpetually negative about the jets. I would call them illogical. I would write that they were paranoid, miserable people. I would question their authenticity....I've aged a lot in the past ten years. I'll always probably be too much of an optimistic fool to ever truly convert to the dark side, but I get it. And . . . I'm sorry."

Jets are planning on putting WR Eric Decker on IR, per @FieldYates and me.

Expectation is that #Jets WR Eric Decker, with a torn labrum, will have season-ending surgery, source said. He tried to go, couldn’t do it.

Totally agree. He has torched us lately. Now they can take Marshall out of the game and focus on shutting down Forte and it should be all good.
This is gold. Goes right up there with his whining after the Divisional Round win back in '06 and the Crying Jordan helmet face on the bench in the '07 AFCCG.
My friend sent me a video of LT and the host on NFLN talking about how the Pats were "lucky" this season and the "football Gods have been on their side."
Willie just sat there mouth agape and was like "bros, they played their first four games with their backup and third string QB." Seventeen years in for Brady and BB and still this nonsense.
According to Francesa during a pre-surgical exam it was found that Decker needed hip surgery, which was done today (not shoulder) that will take 8 months to heal, and THEN he will have the shoulder surgery, which will take an additional 6 months of rehabbing.
J-E-T-Shit luck
J-E-T-Shit luck
You would think that would be optimal. But that's the way it was reported and Francesa questioned the long waiting period between surgeries. It may be as simple as its not smart to use crutches (for the hip) while just having shoulder surgery.
