  1. Last years offensive rankings 15. New England 24. Buffalo 27. Miami 32. NYJ Miami and the Jets weren’t too far off from Buffalo if you take out the Rosen and Luke Falk games (the Jets also had a historically bad showing on MNF vs New England) New England lost Tom Brady so its reasonable to assume they will regress on offense Obviously I could see BUF, Miami, and NYJ improving from 2019 (not a big ask). I just fail to see how any of these teams are going to develop into a top 10 offense against a tougher schedule. The Jets are also very excited about Chris Herndon and Pats drafted two TEs who are probably studs.
  2. The AFC East is a defensive rich division with limited offenses/unproven to bad QBs.
  3. Rebuttal #1-This is not a fantasy football. The 2019 Browns are a great example of how talented skill players don’t necessarily translate into offensive success. Rebuttal #2 What kind of offense are the Bills going to run? Bills designed an offense last year that played off a top flight defense by limiting Allen’s pass attempts/risky throws. Do they really need elite skill players to run that type of offense? The 2019 49ers is the blueprint. Perhaps they look at the Vikings as a blueprint, but Kirk Cousins as a player is nothing like Josh Allen. Rebuttal #3 Zach Moss is a 3rd round pick, how do you know he’s a massive upgrade over Frank Gore? The Jets drafted a RB in the 4th round who could turn out to be better than Moss (nobody knows with rookies).
  4. I’m not sure I see that much of a gap between the Bills and everyone else. Last year the Jets and Dolphins had among the worst OL in the league while the Pats and Bills has pretty good lines. The Jets and Dolphins both invested significant resources in that area and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be. Skill position wise the Bills look a lot better because of Diggs, but I think it’s a little outlandish to think one player makes that much of a difference.
  5. Yea I’m sure you are sincere about rooting for Darnold. I will say that I had the chance to meet him at a fundraiser through the Jets radio station (my company was a sponsor). The thing that stood out to me was how young he was. It’s easy to forget that these QBs are essentially college kids taking verbal abuse from 40-50 year olds whom could never come close to doing what they do. Keep in mind the Jets organization has never been able to develop a QB and they hired a coach with no track record in doing so. I don’t think Darnold is the issue.
  6. It’s a very odd situation on the surface. It seems “defunding” the police coincides with putting political pressure on departments to withdraw from their union (see Camden and Minneapolis). Traditional Democrats are going to be pro-union and police unions have a long history of funding democratic campaigns.
  7. https://twitter.com/loyalnyjetfans/status/1270408435595608064?s=21 Has young Darnold practicing Mahomes throws. I’m posting this because Josh Allen is also a client.
  8. The irony of this period is that Black and Brown residents were blamed for burning their own community, when they were the ones who rebuilt it.
  9. As a Jets fan it was his six INT masterpiece vs the Chiefs in 2016. The guy really is an incredibly limited QB.
  10. Republicans don’t want vote by mail bc it chips away at their ability to do exactly this: target and disenfranchise Black voters and people of color.
  11. “Defund” means that Black & Brown communities are asking for the same budget priorities that White communities have already created for themselves: schooling > police,etc. People asked in other ways, but were always told “No, how do you pay for it?” So they found the line item.
  12. We have a center-right and far-right party that both put corporations over people and it’s resulted in massive levels of inequality and injustice
  13. Except when it mattered most (week 17 2015)
  14. In the 1960s MLK and his movement had a clear goal/objective which was to introduce new legislation that protect the civil liberties of African-Americans. When I google BLM objective all I see is “campaign against the violence and systematic racism of black people” Its obviously a good thing that they are bringing awareness to the country that the events that took place in Minneapolis were completely unacceptable. Perhaps it will make another cop think twice about abusing his/her power in the black community. Unfortunately I think BLM has evolved into decades version of Occupy Wall St. It is now heavily comprised of young impressionable kids who are protesting more-so for the life experience rather than to actually cause legit change and accomplish a clear specific goal. Im willing to bet that the majority of these white 22 year olds that I’m seeing out there have very little sense of history with regards to the actual civil rights movement of the 60s where police beatings were rampant and unprovoked. By contrast what we are seeing today is young people actually trying to incite the police into acting violently so they can capture it on their phones and post it on Twitter. This post is not intended to downplay the the spirit of the movement and prejudices that black people face on a daily basis. I do take issue however with those who are protesting and causing community destruction whom have largely never experienced racial prejudice in their lives.
  15. Think about every text message you have ever written. I can guaranty everyone has wrote a few that could make them look bad when taken out of context. Im quite frankly sick of everyone acting so sanctimonious.
  16. president trump is a dictator. Joe Biden is a man of the people. Had Joe Biden been president none of this would have happened and George Floyd may still be alive.
  17. Joe Biden will unify this country

  19. few? Have you seen how Brooklyn has evolved the past 10 years? Young suburban white people have been flooding to cities for a while now. Cheaper rent/housing prices have expanded their footprint deeper into these cities (largely minority communities). There is nothing wrong with it on the surface, but it does start to price long time residents out of their neighborhoods. The majority of elected officials (dems included) don’t care about these people because increases property values=more tax revenue. Bloomberg used police in Brooklyn as an example to keep crime at bay in these communities to further encourage/foster gentrification. The only elected official I know whom really cares about the people is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has made it her lives work improving the lives underprivileged minorities
  20. This whole thing really has nothing to do with Trump. Systemic police racism has been a long standing issue in this country. The Freddy Gray incident happened with Obama in office. The hard truth is that there is a level of fear on both sides. White officers patrolling the inner cities (many growing up in the suburbs) have been taught that inner city black people are dangerous. By contrast Inner city black people have been taught that the police are dangerous. Visit any city in the US and its the same. Travelers are warned to avoid the “rough” neighborhoods which are predominately resided by black people. The unfortunate truth is that there is indeed significantly more crime in those parts of the city and it requires a larger police presence to deal with it. The problem has been augmented through gentrification (especially places like NYC) where property values in the city have increased up to the point where you have very million dollar homes within blocks of these impoverished black communities. It puts the onus on politicians and the police even further to provide security. Why? Because they want more people to buy these homes and in turn generate new tax payer revenue streams.
  21. Obviously you didn’t know that Drew Brees was essentially one of the first QBs to come into the NFL from a spread offense. The offense he ran at Purdue was nothing like the one Tua ran at Alabama.
  22. And what do you remember about Drew Brees running Joe Tillers offense at Purdue?
  23. Drew Brees came out of college 20 years ago and turned into one of the greatest QBs of all time 5 years into his career. Its unbelievable that every year any QB 6 ft 1 or under is deemed the next Drew Brees.
