So with all this Jets bickering going on did anyone see Trent Richardson is in for a second knee surgery before playing a down in the NFL, and Joe Haden is now possibly facing a 4 game suspension for performance enhancing drugs....all after Colt McCoy claims to have been blindsided by the Browns appointing Bradon Weeden as their starter?

Duh_Browns...

You think you have it bad with your team...try being a Browns fan these days.

I don't think that Jets fans think they have it bad. Yes, everyone loves crapping on them, but going to 2 AFC title games in the last 3 years is a position that most fans would love their team to be in. I would even be willing to give Ryan another year after this one if we miss the playoffs. I don't particularly like the atmosphere, but he can coach.

I have a lot of friends from Cleveland. Possibly the worst sports city in terms of fan suffering. Hopefully the new owner can turn it around.

We don't need no band-wagon jumpers.

Being a Bills fan isn't easy either. The Browns lost their team, which sucks, but I know that I've already witnessed the peak of my team ... and it was 20 years ago ... and it was 4 straight chokes.

Every year I tell myself to switch to another team, that I have no real geographical or familial ties to the Bills, perhaps follow a team that is easier to follow in Calgary, every year I don't. Last year they sucked me in, they won't trick me this year.

^ I think you'll be getting suckered in again this year. Buffalo should be a playoff team. I think they might even challenge the Patriots for the division. That D-Line is damn, damn scary looking.

KelVarnsen · 08-09-2012, 06:33 PM

A Mike Vick injury? Shocking #sarcasm

No...im really not. As pointed out repeatedly and you continuing to ignore. its is merely one of a litany of things that has happened (repeatedly in some cases) that that joke of an orginization continues to encourage.

Again...any comments on why the 2nd best CB on the team says he is the 2nd best WR on the team? Is that media driven? My personal bias? Or, as is the reality, is it a travelling circus that cant avoid their own pratfalls because...well....thats what they do and are best at?

Hilarious.

Osweiler throws a TD!

Can't wait to watch the game tomorrow or whenever NFL network decides to play it!

Senator Clay Davis · 08-09-2012, 09:52 PM

Word is Arizona will offer Philadelphia two first round picks for Nick Foles based off his performance tonight.

Sylvanfan · 08-09-2012, 10:35 PM

Ryan Matthews out 4-6 weeks with a broken clavicle. 3rd straight season that he's basically injured before the second game of the season. Chargers aren't exactly deep at the position either.

That's the thing though, Cromartie saying he is best wr on the team is an issue a brawl at training camp is not an issue, yet you hold that they mean the same thing when about 1/2 the teams in the league have brawls at training camp including your beloved packers. I will readily admit their are issues with the Jets. But your hatred of them makes you think common things that go on in organizations mean more when they happen to the Jets and that's not true. You have no response to me saying that you made too big of a deal about the brawl other than they have other issues, which you aren't arguing with me about because I agree the Jets have a ton of issues, and yet half the league would love to have the record they have had over the last 3 seasons. They were a top 4 team 2 out of the last 3 years and you claim they are the best at making fools of themselves. You're personal bias is once again rearing it's ugly head or if you are logical and honest you would realize they are pretty damn good at football too.

Who would have thought Curtis freaking Painter would have led the Ravens to win from behind while scoring 3 TD's in the 2nd half?

Not me... that's for sure. Still think he is a long shot to stay on the team though.

QB's are surprisingly much better against 2nd, 3rd and 4th string defenses

Nate Davis was a pre season machine for the 49ers a few years ago. a few late game heroics. Too bad he still can't figure out a playbook and you can't scramble every down in the regular season

Isn't Davis dyslexic? He has some sort of learning disability that always slowed him up way too much to learn a new play book (year, after year). Or at least that was always the excuse, he seemed to have the physical skills.

Matt Hasslebeck's return to SEA tonight....first throw, first play, INT...something Seahawks fans used to seeing the last few years he was the QB.

Brandon Browner, who else, TD.

SEA's uni's are going to get a bit taking used to.

wpgflamesfan · 08-11-2012, 08:17 PM

Chad Johnson was apparently arrested for head-butting his wife.

Still think I will love them, but looking forward to seeing some highlights to get a good feel for what they look like in action.

Its more the additional neon green and the odd number font. They have the all blue set tonight.

Hasslebeck exits the game after 4 series. For Seahawk fans, his last throw was far far to familiar,not bothering to worry about the double coverage that was on the reciever the entire time and throws up a rainbow which gets picked off easily. The Hasselebeck which caused myself and other Seahawks fan to make ill advised throws of various objects ourselves on Sunday afternoons for the last 3 years of his time in Seattle. Not the greatest mentoring of Jake Locker, now in the game in his first trip back to Seattle too.

Matt Flynn was 8 for 8 for 50 yards until throwing an int. Is now 11 of 12 with 6 minutes to go first half. 10-0 Sea.
