How come the Jets loss and we didn't win?

I'm with you here Vinny. I'm glad they aren't talking about us because it wasn't our best representation or showing. I love winning ugly because we've lost so many games when we've played well. We have an inferiority complex as a fanbase sometimes. If we just continue to win then we'll be talked about plenty come January and February.

yeah, a mark of a good team is winning ugly sometimes. The Giants have been a .500 team that peaks around playoff time under Coughlin...a couple of SB's would work for me if that's our case as well.

That said the 49ers came in and destroyed this same Jet team last week. Dominated them in just about every area. I think the Nation was thinking we would come in and steamroll the Jets...didn't happen, so no glossing. I don't think that's all that strange.

Agreed! Heck, the espn fairies were giggling at the Jets before the game, assuming the Texans would crush them. It might've even irked them a little that we didn't.

It should've been a blow out, imo. We allowed them to stay in the game. Crappy ST's, inconsistent offense and allowing scrub WRs to run wide open. And, to top it off, we lost one of our primary cogs on defense. It's unfortunate how pissed then depressed I was/am after that game. I'm still "whoa as me" every time I see Cushing's name.......I need a hug

While y'all say this the media has shown their double standard against us.

Someone mentioned it earlier. The Ravens almost lost to the chiefs. Only scored 9 points on em. I didn't hear any one say they weren't impressed or that the Ravens were exposed.

I can understand this a bit. The Ravens have been there done that...now the 9ers...

9ers lost to a team that they were not supposed to lose to already. Why when they lose it's just a bump in the road but the time we almost lose it's how we were exposed.

I know this is not how they all see it, but the those guys on first take definitely saw it this way. I know one of their guys, maybe Young? can't remember said the Texans still won with their D game and the Jets bought their A game and still didn't win.

What I'm saying is really don't care what they say about us now. The Texans just need to keep winning and let the results speak for them. The media darlings last year were the Packers and look where that got them last year.

I understand fans want to hear the media rave about our team 24/7, but I don't care about all of that. What they said on first take was right. We didn't look great last night. We had opportunities to blow the game open and didn't take advantage. The important thing is we won and no one can take that away. Good teams find ways to win when they play poorly. I've heard people giving similar criticisms to Atlanta and Baltimore the past couple of weeks. We just have to get "the world is against us" mentality out of our heads. I don't believe that at all.

even when we win you guys are depressing.

[Double Barrel]

I don't have a complex. I just like hearing about our team.

Remember, though, a lot of the coverage of the Jets is also due the fact that people like to revel in the failures of New York teams. Sometimes that's not coverage born out of love, but the schadenfreude of kicking some big media team when they are down. Do you think Jets fans are loving the coverage? I doubt it. It shows a franchise in disarray and sucking badly.

[Mailman]

The game result was irrelevant to the focal point of the media narrative. Even if the Texans had put on another boring blowout, virtually no one in the media would be talking about the Texans today anyhow. They are media honks who only want to blow their horns for the Jets and their Clown Car sideshow.

It's nothing personal, they'd rather talk NYJ all the time. Had the Texans done what many here and in the media expected, the theme would be "well, the Texans did what they were supposed to do, but WHAT IN THE WORLD HAS HAPPENED TO THE J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!?!?!?!!!!!!!

Should Tebow start over Sanchez? Should Rex Ryan be fired? Blah blah blah blah blah.

If you have a problem with this, I don't begrudge your grudge because I completely get it, but I will say this: STOP WATCHING ESPN! Especially First Take. Those fools do not deserve your ratings.

[Double Barrel]

yep, I agree with Mailman. It's soap opera crap that our drama obsessed nation is addicted to these days. New York scratches that itch, so let them have it.

I'd rather have a "media boring" team that works hard and just wins games. I could not care less about national media spotlight if drama is required to be there. Just give me stories about how interesting Foster is or how dominant Watt is out there. The Jest (oops, typo!) coverage is just As The World Turns irrelevant brain garbage, IMO.

It was the guys from first take, I think most of the football guys understand that no team is going to come out and dominate every week.

But these dudes on first take even had a Houston guy on the show and wouldn't even let him talk about the Texans lol. Talked about Tebow several times and whenever they actually did mention the Texans it was about ho unimpressed they were or how our secondary was exposed.

I'm always reminded why I do not watch that show often.

I think everyone is happy about getting the win, but ESPNs bias just gets tiring is all. I guess some Falcon fans should feel the same way as well because I think they are getting less coverage than us.

[amazing80]

didnt know where to put this and didnt think it deserved its own thread




Wow, I have been clamoring at the mouth all day to get home and write my review. There are so many things wrong at this point I am not sure where to start.

1. Andre Johnson, I love you man but something is not right. He was injured in TC and really has done nothing of significance this entire season. His routes are not crisp and I fear he is battling an injury.

2. Jonathan Joseph, why the heck he was playing last night is beyond me. He battled a groin problem ALL week and we played a scrub Jets team and yet they played him......you notice that Mark targeted JJo more than anyone? The guy better get healthy before this week or we're screwed. I am ashamed they kept him in the game while getting destroyed. And why is Harris even on this team, if he cannot contribute on ST or defense then cut him now.

3. Our run defense was great yesterday. We allowed 69 rush yards and 3.0 YPC, seems like Wade can pinpoint what to stop and focus on that, but cannot seem to stop both the pass and run at the same time. We allowed Mark to throw for some good yardage and if his wideouts could catch it would have been worse. Hopefully it was a fluke because JJo was hurt.

4. ST is a joke right now, Holliday is terrible, our coverage is worse and our blocking on kick and punt returns is bad. Marciano better figure out what the problem is and how to fix it because it WILL cost us a game and it almost did last night. This is a MAJOR concern right now.

5. ILB wtf are we gonna do now?!?!?!? I doubt we trade for anyone because it is not our way of doing business. I would like to see Braman in more and would love to see if Reed could play inside. Let Mercilus play OLB and kick Reed in. The problem is, I think this hurts our run defense GREATLY but really at this point, missing Cushing in general will hurt our run defense.

The only problem I see is you're watching First Take and you don't expect them to talk about Tebow. That show should be renamed 'The Tim Tebow show'. They literally talk about him everyday.

We're the worse 5-0 team in the history of sports!!!!!!!!!!!!

They pander to their audience. Unfortunately that show's ratings have blown up since they started talking about Tebow so much so why wouldn't they ride it until the wheels fall off? I personally enjoy it, but only on DVR so I can fast forward through some of the junk that they talk about sometimes. It's an entertainment based show. Nothing more, nothing less.

[TheMatrix31]

It's the Jets. The Jets and the media are boyfriend and boyfriend.

Any questions?

we have played our 5 "super bowls" already


seriously. I'd rather us keep chugging along and let ESPiN (or BSPN) keep doing what they do. Don't mean much to me, enough TT to keep me busy than worry about the talking heads say

LOL at the bolded. Before the season started, I was just hoping for a 5-2 record at the bye week. Now I'm fully expecting 6 wins. Could be 7 but the beaten down Texan/Oiler/Gambler fan in me keeps spilling my damn kool-aid.

i rather would have lost the game last night than Cushing get hurt....
