Official Game Thread: Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets

[cheaterhater]

so Williams clearly tanked for Trevor proving that this coaching staff is returning next year

I'm fine with Williams returning actually, I think he has done pretty well with nothing to work with and with a team that wont score any points to help the cause

My gr

you know what? nobody in my family ever called it that

my grandfather from Sicily who spoke 99% of the time in Italian called it Gravy and he landed here in 1916
So we all followed my father who of course followed his father .
Big debate amongst 1st and 2nd generation Italian Americans
Pretty funny

my grandfather on my fathers side was 100% Italian but my grandmother was 100% German. I don't remember him calling it gravy, but in truth, I can't picture him calling it anything. if we visited him, he always made us sausage, peppers and onions for lunch and when he came to visit from the Bronx, he always brought us cans of tomatoes, some nice arthur avenue bread and some great jelly donuts

Go to the supermarket and look at all the cans of 'tomato sauce' on the shelves, in a variety of brands. They all call it that for a reason: that's the accepted way of referring to a sauce made of tomatoes. There are no cans of tomato 'gravy', whether from Italian companies or American companies.

'Gravy' typically refers to a substance with a meat stock as it's base ingredient such as the brown gravy used on roast beef or mashed potatoes.


By the way, the Jets suck...

I'm watching the Rams-Cardinals game (recorded) and it is 13 seconds to halftime.

Commentator: 'Why would you go one-on-one [on Hopkins] when you know they have to go deep?'.

Precisely.

Close one Jets fans, close one! I didn’t watch the game but for the Jets to lose it like that on the last play is classic. Guess we see that we have a RB in Ty Johnson and Adams also finally showed up. I’m glad we lost, we have to keep the T. Lawrence show rolling along and the A. Gase showing rolling out.

They finally ran behind Becton. Dont need a great RB to do that.

No they don't

I'll tell you all one thing the Jets are on no gravy train

 

[cheaterhater]

we're top 5 against the rush.
honestly, I don't think these guys have quit. hate to say it but dont think the offense has quit either
we may have stupid penalties but thats just guys trying to make a play
we generally have no offensive help
no beer
I dont like his haircut though

You see Bigmoe you are a smart man.......You followed your dad..............I should have followed my dad & been a Giants fan........Or my cousin & been a Pats fan or my best friend & been a Packers fan or my best business buddy & been a Bears fan or ............... But instead I followed my likes & became a Jets & cardinals fan.......I was hoping that three times was the charm & the Guardians would be it.....but they pulled the league right from under me & I landed on my ass again.

 

[cheaterhater]

No they don't

never seen that. I make my own from hunts puree and hunts diced. around here those are the best regularly available tomatoes that Ive tried anyway and they go on sale for a buck for a 28oz can

my father is a Giants fan also. I just didnt pay attention when I was young and read a book about Namath

All kidding aside he could have won us a game....just one. but he had not been as bad as the o side of the ball. the 66 bears had not much on D besides butkus & a DE but they did have Halas as coach.....he could get them going. If he stays I won't be upset but he has not shown me much this year except yesterday with seconds left...not good

I was worse my dad took me to most of their home games.......I guess I liked Cardinal Red lol & then he took me instead of my older brother to that one jet game before Namath...I guess I liked green

[NewMFS62]

That can be a misleading statistic. It could be because the Jets are so easy to pass on, so why bother to run?
How do they stack up in terms of yards per rush instead of yards/ game?
Later

Yea , used Hunts and tuttorosso
Our family all makes our own “ gravy”
Usually from the non BPA cans of whole tomatoes now

just wanted to show the the term Sicilian “gravy “ is not just out there and has been used by generations of Italian Americans .

And we all know when the term for brown gravy is used . No confusion here . But I’ve had this debate before.

Even goodfellas used the term “ stir the gravy”
But it’s a fun debate either way
