[MENTION=212]jets82[/MENTION] , great thread my man. Here is my take on it:
Had the Jets had the roster that Rich Kotite fielded back in '95, in which the team had absolutley nothing and we as fans begin talking about playoffs, then yes, i would agree with the media pundits.
Yet this 2015 New York Jets are loaded. The core players are still here that are leaders in Nick Mangold, D'Brick, Revis, Harris, Wilkerson & Cro. Veterans that have been added that provide another level of Dimensions to win games that normally we'd lose in Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker (2014), Buster Skrine, James Carpenter. We have young studs that will be groomed in an environment that breeds success. Those players are in positions to contribute this year as well in Devin Smith, Leonard Williams, Lorenzo Mauldin IV, and even 2nd year OLB Trevor Reilly.
This 2015 team shouldn't be viewed by fans through green colored glasses, rather based on actual facts. They have depth that the great ones have. We have a power and finesse run game. A dominant O-Line to equal our D-Line. By far one of the best secondaries in the league. Sure our QB has been a journey man, but so was Trent Dilfer & Brad Johnson when they won their respective superbowls with talented defensive teams.
I feel one thing that the media over looks not many times but ALL the time is the DISCIPLINE of the team being fielded. In all honesty, the 2014 New York Jets, even with no CB's, we were in many games in position to win. What kicked Rex in the nuts the majority of the time, was the lack of accountability the players had. They'd get an "ITS OK WE'LL GET'em NEXT TIME "approach. Not with Coach Bowles. the team had only 4 penalties in the season opener. IMHO, This is no fluke. Todd preached this day one with his team and voiced it in the Jets locker room after the Cleveland game.
Let the media knock on the Jets. Let the know-it-alls say that the Jets arent a play-off team. If memory serves me well, this franchise makes a living off proving the world wrong when everyone counts us out:
