Should We Be As Happy With This Win

LaRon + Sean = Hell 4 U · 11-04-2007, 07:59 PM

I know a win is a win but barely winning against a 1-7 team & with your running back rushing for 196 yards is not that good. How long can we go barely winning games again JC still only had 23 attempts for 142 yards if you look at all the other QB's the Favre's, Brady's, Manning & even Derek Anderson is throwing 30 to 40 attempts per game it's almost like we aren't trying to progress in the passing game. I glad we are 5-3 but I still don't know about our offense.

i think today the offense finally showed a little progress. The line held up a better and Portis ran for 196. Today i thought it was the defense which looked bad today.

23 attempts is plenty as far as I'm concerned. If he hadn't of overthrown Moss in OT his numbers would have been respectable. He's not good enough yet for us to throw it 40 times a game. He locks in one receiver only and then if we're lucky he finds the checkdown. BTW, Mark Rypien averaged about 26 throws a game in 1991. And there were people then saying that football had changed and it was a passing league, blah, blah, blah. I say stick with the plan, run the ball, and let Campbell fill in the blanks.

While I think we should throw more 23 attempts for 142 isn't that horrible and come on. JC is nowhere near as good as Brady or Manning yet. Gibbs wants Portis taking 25 or 30 hand offs a game. It seems to be as if JC has to drop back and throw 30 or 40 times, we're either losing really bad or Saunders is suffering from an aneurysm because that's not how Gibbs wants his team to be based.

Yeah they gave up some plays but the d also held their ground in the 2nd half only giving up a field goal.

We need to do exactly what we did two years ago. Period.

The Jets are a better team than the 1-7 record suggests.
We've also beat a 6-2 team (lions). We actually destroyed them. Anything can happen.
We do have a lot of injuries and that will hurt us going forward, but we're learning to live with those injuries. When Campbell is let loose to throw 10-20 yards down the field, good things usually happen.
I think Campbell needs to learn how to check down better...a lot of times he stares at his target and still throws it there, he needs to learn to look around.
But anyway, yes, I am happy with where we are, and if we make the playoffs, we'll ALL be happy.

Jets lost 5 of 8 games by 7pts or less and have played some great teams really tough. At 5-3 our losses are to teams with a combined 3 losses and I'd be suprised if the Pats lose to anyone this year.

I'm pleased. I just expected more out of this team.

This win feels better than the pathetic Arizona win, but both beat the hell out of any loss.

LaRon + Sean = Hell 4 U · 11-04-2007, 08:24 PM

I feel games are still to close if they put the ball in the air more I think that will lead to more first downs. It's obvious that we are going to pass when it's 3rd & 6 and beyond that is how predictable this offense has become even with Portis running well play action wasn't really used today. I know the game plan is run 1st pass 2nd. But passing to little is the main reason we went to OT the last two wins.

skinsguy · 11-04-2007, 08:29 PM

I think we should be happy with any win we get.
