Because you're a fan and I hate you!!!!!!!!

Lol that's like quoting the Sun on a Trudeau article. NYT openly leans to the left.

Well it does beg the question, on a short week, with one scheduled practice and a QB making his first start, you have a storm forecasted during the practice, and the coaching staff does nothing? Seems odd to me. When do you think they should have made the change? Did they know the night before exactly what time the storm would hit? No chance. Absolutely no chance. So you're talking about them calling all their players at 8 AM and saying HEY GUYS GET HERE ASAP!!! PRACTICE MOVED UP!!! Doesn't work that way.

God this is impossible. It's not about what I care about. Whether I "embrace the draft and develop" model makes no difference. The guy in the article was talking about the Jets' chances this year. I'm talking about the Jets' chances this year. Not in two years. Not in three years. Not about how they're set up to win a Cup in 5 years. This year. And they either got worse or stayed the same this year, and the team is going to miss the playoffs. Maybe they are setting up for a run in 2 or 3 years, I don't know. Makes no difference this year really. The team is not going to play as well as last year and I hope fans are prepared for that.

Yeah I think this might be the dumbest argument on here yet. And there have been some doozies.

A page worth of excuses. Frankly I don't care about the draft and develop model, I'm talking about their chances THIS YEAR. Which don't look good. Hilarious that you bring up Chicago and Toews, Kane, Keith, and Seabrook. Let me know when we have even one player approaching the skill level of any of them. Until then the comparison is totally invalid.

Marve..... you look marvelous

So basically the Jets' plan is exactly what the article says. Add nothing, lose a couple pieces and hope everyone else just gets better this season. If that plan sounds familiar it's because the Bombers followed the same plan between 2011 and 2012. The Jets are going to miss the playoffs this year.

Is he? What is he wrong about? "There are some teams out there bursting with young talent. Those teams don't have to do much in the offseason, they simply need to wait for their players to develop into young stars. That's not the case with the Jets." I think he's referring to only young guys who were already in the lineup. The team overall is quite young but Scheifele, Lowry, Trouba, and Chiarot are the only guys who might still develop into stars. You kinda know what you have already with Wheeler, Little, Ladd, Stafford, etc. Rookies generally aren't stars in their first season so the guys you are looking at to take big steps forward this year are really only Scheifele, Lowry, and Trouba.

Is he? What is he wrong about? The team hasn't done anything to improve this offseason. Relying on Ehlers and Burmi to put this team over the top doesn't really give me too much confidence.

Then the clock is already ticking, as you say. They already admitted one bad hire by firing Etcheverry.

You're my only friends here...so let me know when you're going to come by to help. I've had the boys over for beers and to whip each other with extension cords but I don't know how you would stain a deck that way.

There might be. They go to BC for the Young Stars tournament from Sept 11-14 so I imagine they will be doing some practicing in the days leading up to that.

That's not true, there are also a couple prolonged shots at the back of Marve's jersey.

Marve Highlight Package from the final game of last season for anyone interested

Had a big week at 4/4

Isn't that a Tim Burke line?

Dominique "The Donkey" Davis

Easy for you to say but how do you justify that when you are the Blackhawks and this controversy is still raging while you happily line him up on your first line on opening day? There's going to be a lot of pissed off people if they do that.

And really, Calgary has gone through about 20 DL in the last 5 years and they've all been dominant. Ditto Edmonton, Hamilton. Toronto's brought in several good ones. We can't even find one guy who's good at getting after quarterbacks consistently, even if that's all he can do like an Odell Willis. Westerman is doing OK, but we have no one who gets into the pocket, his sacks are motor sacks mostly out of the pocket, most on Collaros. Gibson has looked good but apparently can't last 2 games in a row. Calgary has also gone through 15 starting OL in the last 3 years and still has a great OL. So is it coaching? Well the coach is Pat DelMonaco who everyone hated here. So what's the deal? How come they can bring in junior players and sixth round picks, and have them start on the OL without an issue?

As much as everyone wants to see MB's head on a platter, I don't see the benefit in firing an offensive coordinator midseason. Nobody is going to come in and change everything so drastically that the team turns itself around. We could very well see some movement of offensive coordinators this offseason so I would wait until then. I'd like to see a veteran guy like Chapdelaine or Cortez here but those might be wishful thinking. We would probably end up hiring Dinwiddie.

No I think it's 23 now. 16 was prior to the Hamilton game.
