2GOLD Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Is it a first down? Under review, if they agree with the spot then yes.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Sorry, I'm a fan. I understand. So do I. Should see me with the Patriots. I have about four heart attacks a game. I expect Mass. fans to act like tools, though.

Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 I think it's obvious what I think.

I expect Mass. fans to act like tools, though. I live in Delaware. And I don't critize the Pats, I just freak out cause they hate to just win games. They always gotta make things interesting. Freakin bastards.
The Man in Blak Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 You can't tackle somebody on your heels, Steeler guy.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Thank God for Paul Hackett.
The Man in Blak Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 You know, the Jets could probably trade Paul Hackett for Buddy Ryan on offense and come out ahead.
KingPK Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Neither team wants to win this thing. the Jets' playcalling on offense has been awful. Swing pass on 3rd down?
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Jeff Reed, I will be on the first plane to Pittsburgh if you miss this. I'm warning you.
2GOLD Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Poor Doug Brien. He's totally going to have to fill out job applications.
NYU Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Doug Brien should be given his walking papers tomorrow. You DO NOT miss two straight game-winning field goals. Son of a bitch.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Jeff Reed, I will be on the first plane to Pittsburgh if you miss this. I'm warning you. Sign #1 of Sports insanity, wanting to slug players on your own team.
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Those two hilarious cock-ups earned me major $$ down the bookies.
NYU Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 If there's one positive to the Jets losing tonight, it's that Paul Hackett will FINALLY be gone. Unbelievably predictable. Shockingly uncreative. Amazingly illogical. And just plain all-around terrible. This offense could have done a lot more throughout the season if they had an offensive coordinator that actually KNEW how an offense should work.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 You could say that about the Steelers too, though. Without a question, they were going to run up the middle every first down.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Thank you, Doug Brien!
Guest El Satanico Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 No one ever appreciates the kickers, unless they miss. Everyone acts like it's simple and kickers should make every kick. QBs don't make every throw and kickers don't make every kick.
Vern Gagne Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Maybe if moron Edwards doesn't settle for a FG, and actually tries to move the ball closer, the Jets would have won.
Ced Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Doug Brien: Pittsburgh's MVP of the Game. He just about signed his walking papers with this game.
smh810 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Maybe if moron Edwards doesn't settle for a FG, and actually tries to move the ball closer, the Jets would have won. Never mind the fact that he got his team to play an OUTSTANDING game lets find some bullshit reason to blindly rip on the coach.
Guest Failed Mascot Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 If you're a Pats fan or if you're Alf then you can't be too intimidated by the Steelers with their performance tonight. Their secondary can be picked apart as well.
NYU Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 No one ever appreciates the kickers, unless they miss. Everyone acts like it's simple and kickers should make every kick. QBs don't make every throw and kickers don't make every kick. Bullshit. The kickers are sometimes among the most prevalent players on a team. Whenever a game goes into overtime, more often than not, it comes down to the field goal kicker. Kickers are given a LOT of attention when they do something good. Do you even remember all the praise showered upon Adam Vinatieri in 2002? Doug Brien was given QUITE a fair amount of attention last week for that game-winning kick. The kickers are noticed when they're actually successful. I'm not putting an unattainable standard onto Doug Brien -- it's obvious that you're bound to mess up from time to time -- but when you have two possible game-winning field goals tonight, and you make NEITHER of them, you have officially lost your worth to the team. The loss tonight comes down upon his shoulders. Last week, he was pretty horrid too. Between missing that early field goal, and getting lucky enough to have the ball bounce off the crossbow and through the posts, he was straddling the fence on proving his worth. Tonight, it all fell apart. Fact of the matter is, Brien is paid to make these field goals. Brien is a field goal kicker, first and foremost, and thus he should AT LEAST have more than a 50% success rate. Much higher, actually. But, of course, he doesn't. I don't remember the exact statistics, but he's somewhere around the 43% mark when it comes to accuracy. That is NOT good for a big time kicker. He's someone that needs to be replaced. Would I be saying this now if he had made that game winning field goal? Probably not. But the fact that he didn't continues to expose the idea that he just is not that good, and he's a factor of the team that needs to be replaced if they're going to be successful. People like Brien who have now shown themselves to crumble under pressure can not be kept, simply for the good of the team.
NYU Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Maybe if moron Edwards doesn't settle for a FG, and actually tries to move the ball closer, the Jets would have won. I can't even fault Edwards. For all the faults this team had, Edwards was able to inspire them to get this far. Throughout the season, the Jets exceeded the expectations people placed on them. Last week, they beat the Chargers, a team many thought they were going to lose to. Tonight, they came within a hair of beating the Steelers. That kind of success CAN be attributed to Edwards, because he's the guy that keeps this team going. It's easy to see. I blame Brien for missing NOT one -- but TWO -- huge field goals. I blame Hackett for his ever-so-stale offensive gameplan. I blame Pennington tonight for not coming through in the clutch with certain passes. Only 3 points from the offensive in the playoffs is terrible. But I don't blame Edwards. At least not tonight.
The Czech Republic Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 I expect Mass. fans to act like tools, though. What's worse: one Anglesault or fifty Patriots fans? I refer to them collectively because they wouldn't have it any other way.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 If you're a Pats fan or if you're Alf then you can't be too intimidated by the Steelers with their performance tonight. Their secondary can be picked apart as well. Which Pennington didn't do...
