We pounded Green Bay at the Ralph 3 years back, when Lord Favre was in his prime and we sucked.
Now a soon to be 39 year old QB is going to a bad team late and some believe he will carry them all by himself.
You've got to be kidding me. He's going to throw a ton of INT's and kill this team.
The Jets will get a lot of attention for a 5-11 team. I can't wait to play them.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
I will get to see Favre live in his first regular season game as a Jet
This sucks. A lot.

Did you just mention the Bills and Patriots in the same sentence. talking about not enough to make any difference? YOu meant the Pats and Chargers right? Or the Pats and COlts? Or the Pats and Jags? You didn't just say the Pats and Bills, did you?
Dude. Bottom line.. We've been above .500 like what, once this decade? We were 7-9 last year.. That doesnt mean we wont be good this year; that means that the Bills haven't PROVEN ****, so how you can say a team that just upgraded big time at QB wont make any difference against us is totally mind boggling.
I mentioned them in the same sentence because the last time I looked they were still the two best teams in the division, and that's got to be the first comparison you make when a player lands at a team.
Both the Bills and the Patriots will beat down the Jets this year. It doesn't mean that I think the Bills are as good as the Patriots, it's just that I think that the Jets, even with Favre, suck that hard. Obviously the Chargers and Jags will dominate the Jets as well, but by mentioning the Bills I kinda made it obvious that that would be the case.
Still don't see 2008 Brett Favre as being a big upgrade for anyone. Dude's old, slow and keeps throwing picks.
I'm glad the Favre saga is over, and I'm glad he landed with the Jets, where we can pound his 39 year old body and take advantage of his diminishing skills twice a year.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Man, this place cracks me up sometimes.
We add a rookie WR to the 30th ranked offense in the NFL and everyone thinks we've improved through "experience" The Jets replace Chad Pennington with Brett Favre but everyone thinks they didn't get better.
Please.
Adding Favre in April is an improvement.
In August? It is unknown.
Over reaction
you can always tell the credible football people by whom has the ability to give credit to another team besides the Bills.
If anyone thinks the Jets arent better today than they were yesterday; they're full of ****.
And as far as other offseason moves, here's a newsflash; the Bills arent the only team who got better personnel. I find it hard to believe there's a Bills guy on here who wouldnt take Faneca over Butler or Dockery.
The Jets are a good team again; they sucked last year; they were a playoff team the year before that. If nothing else, they're playoff contenders
I think a lot of people fail to realize that football players are not like fine wine - they don't get better with age.
He certainly is an upgrade OP. Can he at 38 completely turn them around from 4-12? I HOPE NOT!!! I can see two completely different scenarios in my mind here. In 1 the Jets and Favre turn into a powerhouse with complete media coverage at all times or 2 Favre looks like **** and everyone talks about how Favre Completely tarnished his image.
Favre is not what he once was- no one is debating that.
But I'd take a 39 year old Favre over a 29 year old Pennington any day.
Pennington is 32
I seriously doubt that they'll go from 4-12 to 12-4 and competing with the Pats for the division title.
However, Favre wasn't their only upgrade and they have a good OL (on paper at least). If I remember correctly, they added a few people to their D as well.
Before Favre, they were a 6-7 win team. If Favre gets them even 2 wins, that puts them at 8-9 and in the playoff hunt.
I'd take a 39 year old Favre over a 25 year old Pennington and I'd definitely take a 39 year old Favre over a 32 year old Pennington.
Yes, because there are no reasons to wonder if this will help the Jets as much as some think.
Vic Carucci, one of the better journalists out there, questions whether it will help or not too. I guess he is not credible. people can credit other teams, but not necessarily think this move is a magic cure all.
Again, getting a player like Favre in August is not as nearly helpful as getting him in April or May.
He has never played in the style of offense the Jets use. Will he be productive as a short passing game, ball control guy? Will he be able to adjust to Coles and Cotchery and not have Driver and Jennings to use? Will the Jets tackles give him enought time (Obviously the middle of the line is very solid). Will Favre play like the Favre of 2007 or the Favre of 2006? How will the Jets players react to the pending release of the very popular Chad Pennington? Will Favre work with the coaches and not try to do too much himself?
Is Favre a better QB than Penington? Yes. No doubt. Does that translate into a better team? There are legitimate questions in that regard.
Faneca's pass blocking was woeful last year. His run blocking was as great as always, but he was personally responsible for 7 sacks last year, and he's not getting any younger or faster.
lol.. Did Favre suck last year?
Going by your logic, is Stroud's best days long behind him? He's 30 years old, and 8 years into the league, a lot for a DT.
