The problem is, he is right.
The Jets have owned the Dolphins in recent history.
The Dolphins did go 1-15 last year.
The Dolphins haven't made the playoffs in 5-6 years.
All true.

Of course, no one can deny that. Point is though, since the Phins suck, the Jets owning them really is no crowning achievement, is it?
You stated that you have seen the Bills be a trendy pick in other seasons only to not make playoffs. I said that previous seasons have no impact on the current on. Or else Dutin Keller is gonna be a "stud" like Kyle Brady and Johnnie Mitchell. Clear enough? :up:
Completely wrong. The Bills were 7-6 and playing a game against a 8-5 Browns team. You really mean to tell me that a 8-6 team has no shot at the playoffs. Because if you are, you're flat out wrong.
And the schedule is what it is. Before the season, all Jets and Fin fans though they were better than the Bills. Also, the Ravens and Bengals were supposed to be much better than they were. You play to win the game. It's ins't college football where they rate your victories. As of right now, the Bills have a very easy schedule based on last year's results. Last year, they had one of the hardest. Last year's season means nothing.
Like I said, I'll bet anyone that the Bills finish 2nd in the division. You accept or not? It's pretty simple.
So last year when the Bills opened the checkbook that meant they didn't have faith in the young guys? We added nice pieces around our young core.
Poz was outplaying him b/c Harris wasn't playing alot early. Poz started 3 games, his #s would have prorated to 139 tackles, zero sacks, 0 PD, 0 FFs. Harris only started 9 games and had 127 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 PDs and 2 FFs. Now that we have settled that debate let's move on to the rest of the LBs. Kawika Mitchell is the definition of mediocrity. I think our LBs are better. Harris, Pace, Barton & Thomas are better than Mitchell, Poz and Crowell.
Alright so the most you can say, as a Jets fan, is that you've at least gotten that far. True.
Of course the point of playing in the NFL is to win the SB, which you haven't done in 40 years and what the Phins haven't done in over 35.
That debate is FAR from settled. Poz was playing early because Harris was not because Harris WASNT READY to play hearly while Poz was a starter right out the gate because he was NFL ready. You cant pro rate players that is stupid.
Mitchell is a player who played MLB earlier in his career moved to OLB and found his position. He was on a championship team and contributed to that Championship. To downplay him hurts your arguement. Crowell is solid but unspectacular. Between the 3 of them they are better then the jets LB's. Also.....we got hit big time with the injury bug last year and were forced to play guys who now take the backup roles but have expereince in Digeorgio and Ellison. We dont know what we have with our drafted LB yet.
Harris was ready but he had Vilma starting in front of him.
Kawika Mitchell is a decent player, nothing more. Just b/c he was on Championship team(where he was probably the 10th or 11th most important defensive player) does not tell us much. That D thrived b/c of the pass rush of the front 4. It made life easier for the back 7 and he won't have that type of pass rush to cover up for his mistakes this year.

Previous seasons have absolutely nothing to do with this upcoming season. Because if they did, you just wasted another 1st round pick on a TE.
So this is the excuse for the Jets? You're better then the Dolphins cause we were 1-15 and the Bills were 7-9, but when talking to Jet fans it's not about last year. Is there ever a case someone is better then the Bills?? EVER???? Lats year we had a better defense and better offense we also scored more points then the Bills, yet the Bills are a playoff team this year and the Dolphins just suck. The Jets are one year removed form the playoffs add a ton of talent yet they have no cahnce of beating the Bills or making the playoffs....cause a Bill fan says so. Amazing how the Bills have done the least in the division over the last 10 years, yet they are the only team outside the Pats to be playoff worthy. WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Harris was this great player they would have moved linebackers around to get him on the field......Vilma could have moved outside to make room for Harris. You put your best players on the field.
Mitchell's importance in that pass rush should not be discounted.....he was all over Brady.
