Barring any unexpected revelations in our dress rehearsal, these are better coached, more complete football teams as it stands. They have run games, defenses. Very strong up front on both sides. Ivory is a bull for the Jets and CJ2K is still a dynamic change of pace. Vick and Decker puts them over the hump. People think New England doesn't have weapons but they have 2 Wes Welkers, the leagues best TE, top 10 run game, and the leagues best kept secret weapon, Marcus Thigpen on crack- Shane Vereen. This isn't a doom and gloom post, and it isn't even that the Dolphins are bad. Objectively speaking, these teams are just BETTER. Know their schemes, execute them. The way they just line up and play hard nosed football make the Dolphins look weak and gimmicky in comparison. Dolphins will get physically dominated by both teams. Don't see dolphins playing well in the division, Bills will also be competitive. I think we go 4-2 at BEST in division play, 2-4 at worst, and wholeheartedly expect splitting a game with each team for 3-3. I respect the teams in our division and not really liking the way we match up right now. I'm just calling it how I see it. Discuss..
In brass tacks you post reads like this:
Hey there, I am Dolphin fan.. I swear (ehem) . Here's a list of all the (perceived) Good things about the Jets/Pats this year and
none of the bad things. Oh and Here's all the perceived bad things about the Dolphins
(Omit any good things about dolphins). Conclusion: Jets are going to be good dolphins bad.
The only truth to your post is that the Jets do have a chance to be better this year than they were last year. But so do the Dolphins. I think the whole AFCE will improve this year.
Why do you keep making a point of saying
"we "our" and "us" a ton of times in each of your posts? That's not how normal (actual) Dolphins fans talk in these forums. For actual Dolphin fans the "we" "our" or "us" is rarely overused in all posts as
Dolphin fandom is generally implied on this forum. You are using "our" or "us" in reference to being a dolphin fan yet you clearly love everything about the Jets and you think the Dolphins are going to stink this year in comparison to the Jets. I don't really know any dolphin fans that think like this (even doom and gloomers). Just looking at the way you form your posts has me thinking you are a Jets fan pretending to be a Dolphin fan by the way you lovingly describe the jets players and coaches while bashing the dolphins coaching and players. The other thing that makes your posts look fishy is that in the OP you listed off all the perceived good things about the Jets but failed to mention any of the bad things about the Jets (QB,DB depth,WR depth,Allowing 5 ypc tonight on first team D etc). You also did not list any of the dolphins strengths (Likely better QB play, better receivers, Good DL, good pass rush prospects, Likely improved Protection for Tanne etc)
Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Jets fans coming and spouting off on here every once and awhile. Keeps things interesting. But a Jets fan pretending to be a Dolphin fan and spouting off is just sad for you.
- On a side note (I watched the Jets Game and this is what I saw)
1)Geno did look pretty good tonight. I am sure jets fans will crown themselves Champs after tonights pre-season game prematurly.
2)The Jets Run defense was alowing 5-6 yards per run when most of the ones were in there in the early part of the game. That is not world beating defence.
3)They may have a pretty good run game this year
4)It looked to me that Geno did throw some balls that could have went the other way.
5)On Geno's TD drive the Jets got like 5 penalties called in their favor that kept getting them out of long situations and giving them tons of chances to score. Ryan Tannehill's scoring drives looked smooth as butter compared to Geno's tonight. (with less help from the refs)
Side note:
It is interesting to note that since Rex Ryan took over the jets. Every Dolphins Pats or BIlls fan and player that I listen to have refocused their hate squarely on the Jets. I think its how Rex Ryan refuses to give credit to other teams and always transfers blame when playing rivals that makes me hate the jets. Also the fact that the Jets players seem encouraged to brag and boast in emulation of their coach (even when they cant back it up). The Jets are basically the annoying loudmouth little brother of the NFL.
