Scouting the New York Jets
Posted in Any Given Sunday
In a comment in an earlier post this week, someone was generous enough to offer me space on their site to a scouting report for the Packers/Jets game. And it sounded like a great idea and was very flattering.
But the offer went hand in hand with that one thing I hate: work.
I know a little about the Jets just from Favre’s days there, pimping penis and pump fakes.
They’re good. Real good. Good receivers. A retread running back who still has traction. A quarterback that does fewer dumb things now than he used to. A pro bowl center whose sister could back him up on the depth chart. And a tough, tough defense. And the whole gang is corralled by the original bloodline of Old Tyme Football, the Ryan family.
Tough draw for the Packers. The Vikings lost to the Jets in New York, and the Packers beat the Vikings, too. By that math it should take overtime to decide this game. Which means the Packers should be coming home talking about a moral victory and a .500 record.

Ugh that Packers play calling.
I forgot when it was. But we had JUST got the ball back and what do we do? 3 handoffs for squat yardage?
MCCARTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Rodgers? This year the guy just can’t get it done. He’s predictable on offense and his passing sucks. Sure, the receivers are dropping everything too. But DAMN!
Jets do have a very good secondary.
However, it isn’t just this game where Rodgers has looked unable.
We let teams stay around too much. I don’t know if McCarthy is the play caller but someone is messing up.
LOL!
Moss is no longer a Viking.
Just to mess with Favre’s head, Ted Thompson should sign Moss!!!
LOL!! Imagine that.
Favre all bitter that we wouldn’t sign Moss when we had a great receiving core. Favre on the Vikings finally gets teamed with Moss. Moss gets the boot and the Pack picks up Moss.
Do it!
Doesn’t reflect all that good on Cornbread Favre.
Looking pretty good after this weekend.
While I think Rodgers learned a lot from Favre, I don’t think there are many that are as good at looking off defenders as Favre is. I recall seeing quite a few passes where Favre was actually looking in one direction and throwing another. Pretty damn hard to do, and Rodgers doesn’t have that mastered yet. That might account for a small part of it.
Has Quarless actually been cleared by doctors to play with those hand transplants? And why does he keep drinking Yips brand coffee?
And James Jones. Dammit, James. He’s got the tools, they’re just covered in grease and slippery as hell.
But I think Dom Capers and his defense all deserve some oral after being as many players down as they were and still pitch a shutout. Pretty fucking impressive.
Offense needs work. A lot. This isn’t the 2000 Ravens.
And McCarthy? Yeah, he deserves a blog post. And not in the good way.
Jones and Quarless….
just frustrating at times. They should start using stickum again.
Anyone know how many passes Driver, Jones and Quarles have dropped this year?
