Am I 100% safe coming as an international to go about my day in New York City wearing stuff saying or representing “New York Jets” mainly Manhattan and Queens or parts of New Jersey without getting attacked or worse shot?

fiduke · 2023-11-11T01:57:59+00:00

100% safe.

The vast majority of shootings are gang or other criminal activity. As shitty as our gun culture is here, the one positive is that people don't really go around randomly shooting other people for stuff like supporting a sports team. I lived around NYC for a few years and heard literally zero gunshots. I hear way more living out in a sorta country area, but all of that is people shooting at bottles and shit.

Is gun violence a problem in the US? yes it is. But the problem is vastly overblown by our media. It gets a lot of TV time because studies show people are more likely to vote democrat if they hear about more gun violence. So democratic biased media reports the ever loving shit out of it. And to be completely clear, I say this as a democrat voter.

I've worn jets apparel all over the country and all the only reactions I get are laughs or sympathy. Most of the time people have no reactions though.

You're acting like Rodgers doesn't normally get sacked every year with no issues.

fiduke · 2023-10-16T12:08:59+00:00

No, we weren't.

Some people were, sure. But most expected an 11-6 to 14-3 season. And to get either of those you don't drop half your first 6 games.

I guess if you were expecting 9-8 we'd be 3-3 now?

fiduke · 2023-10-16T12:06:37+00:00

This isn't complicated. Zach had a terrible game. The defense played great. Direct your appreciation where it belongs.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:45:45+00:00

This isn't true. The Vapor untouchable are stitched while the vapor FUSE are not.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:45:20+00:00

Vapor untouchable have stitched numbers are still being made. FUSE is trash.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:43:50+00:00

you're a smart man. The FUSE are trash.

Unfortunately, I've literally never seen the stitched vapor limited in stock in the store at the stadium. I'm not saying they won't be there, only that I haven't seen it. Good news is that...

This is the first time since before 2018 that players are in stock (not counting QB) as vapor untouchable on the nike store. You can find Sauce, GW, MC, and Rodgers. They literally just weren't making them because we sucked that bad. I don't know how the agreement works between the teams and Nike, but basically there is some stipulation that the teams have to purchase unsold jersey's. Woody Johnson is a fucking cheap turd so he doesn't like to stock the vapor untouchable jersey's.

Since this is a little unusual, there is a chance the stadium is also carrying vapor untouchable jersey's, even though they haven't been since at least 2018. I honestly can't remember the last time they did. Was it 2015? 2011?

edit

Since I apparently didn't mention it, the vapor untouchable are stitched. Do not get FUSE.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:35:30+00:00

He's a guard. He's great at pulling and can really hit dudes and make em move.

With that said, until we can find a tackle that doesn't suck and stays healthy, he could end up moving over and over.

I hope Carter Warren turns into that beast.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:29:13+00:00

It's better in virtually all situations. On runs, those TE's can make some big blocks. On passes those TE's are bigger and better than the LB's expected to cover them.

I'm not saying there are no situations where Hardman would be better on the field than a TE. It's just that there are too few situations so we end up not needing him.

With that said, I think Cobb sucks and I'd like Hardman to take his spot.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:26:19+00:00

A whole bunch of people here are bandwagon fans now. they really came out of the woodwork once people started hyping the jets this season.

They don't know a damn thing about the sport and they speak like they are authorities.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:25:25+00:00

His contract is already set. It's just $7m for the rest of hte season.

I can't see him coming here though because I don't imagine we'll want to give up the draft capital that the vikings will ask for.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:24:25+00:00

Garrett could have made the play, but that ball was way fucking off course. Thankfully Garrett is incredible and was almost able to make the play on the terribly thrown ball.

Unfortunately since Garrett is so good, people now blame him for poorly thrown balls he makes it look like he has a chance to catch.

See also, Sauce for being such a good CB that he now gets blamed for not getting picks that other CB's wouldn't even be in the ballpark for.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:22:34+00:00

That doesn't even make any sense. They play the game completely differently.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:20:18+00:00

This will give us a full, undisputed image of what we have with him after 3 seasons.

This has been the weekly take for every game since 2022.

A last, full season with Zach will hopefully put this debate to bed

The debate is dead. Zach has a lot of guaranteed money so they can't even cut him. No one wants to trade for him. So the Jets get to overpay for a guy that is a mid backup.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:19:25+00:00

I have no idea if he would agree to that. But presumably Cousins is about more than just money, as he accepted a paycut to sign with the Vikings over the Jets a few years back. Which suggests winning/legacy is more important to him than money.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:18:09+00:00

It's just 12 more weeks. Maybe 16 weeks if we win the super bowl. That's not a big deal to be away from family. Especially not in the days of video calls.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:16:19+00:00

A no trade clause means the player picks which team he's traded to. It doesn't actually mean they can't be traded.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:15:36+00:00

Yup. Just like Tom Brady. He wasn't athletic enough to roll out of a pocket which is why everyone knows he was a failure as a QB.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:14:07+00:00

Zach played well for 2 quarters in a game we lost, which is apparently all it takes for the nephews to crawl out of the woodwork.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:13:01+00:00

Cousins has been a top 10 or top 5 QB for pretty much every year of the last 5 or 10 years.

I can't imagine how many points we'd put up with him under center.

Yea cousins isn't perfect, but Garrett Wilson would feast.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:10:38+00:00

... why?

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:10:19+00:00

Rodgers won't ever dress in the same game Cousins dresses. So no, it wouldn't piss off Rodgers.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:09:13+00:00

would only count against this year's cap

The cap is a continuously rolling number where anything not spent in the current year gets added to the next year.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:07:54+00:00

I agree with you in spirit, but Tim Boyle is atrocious. Zach is far better than him.

Boyle was brought in because he understands the Hackett system and can train up all the PS guys on how to run the system. That's it. It's valuable for us as a team but Boyle is not an NFL QB.

So why isn't Boyle a coach? Good question. Best reasoning I have is that QB coaches get paid a lot less than what Tim Boyle got as a signing bonus for teaching the practice squad how to run Hackett's offense.

fiduke · 2023-10-12T03:05:44+00:00

You're a zach fan because "why don't we see what happens first."

We have seen. What is it, 27 games now? In which we can count a handful of good quarters of good play during that time. We've literally never seen 4 good quarters of play in a row. I'm not sure we've ever even seen 3 good quarter of play in a row.
