I'm not necessarily saying Ladd's worth his contract but it is early in the season, I wouldn't give up on Ladd just yet.

No, not the mentally tough ones it shouldn't. Moreover, MOS doesn't seem to have a history of pulling QB's so if he did it this time, why would Nichols be 'afraid' and play tentatively next game? There's no trend. We employ two QB's for a variety of reasons, not just in case the first one goes down. Why pull Nichols last game? Not because MOS has lost confidence, not because he'll do this anytime Nichols shows any signs of struggling, but because A), maybe showing the D a different look would have helped and it's time to get your 2nd stringer some game time to prepare for playoffs in case we need to go to our depth for whatever reason presents itself. If our starters are that mentally sensitive that pulling them the odd time automatically means 'you have no confidence in me', then, like I said before, we have a much bigger issue.

Purely a guess, but psychologically, sit him in the press box, explain to him what specifically the coaching staff needs from him on the ice, have him watch the game from that view knowing what he needs to do and mentally prepare himself to step in next game to meet/exceed those expectations laid out for him. Or not. :-)

Blind hope comes in handy now and then.

This is where we start our winning streak. 2-1 win SO

There's more pressure on the D than there is on the O to play 60 minutes especially if your O is faltering like it was today. We spotted them 16 points which ultimately did us in. Would have been nice to see Glenn and see what he could have done with this O in case he's called upon in the playoffs. Imo it has nothing to do in losing confidence in Nichols and if Nichols takes it that way, we have a much bigger issue.

Yea, Shea Weber looks a bit out of game shape.

True but still doesn't change it.

The Bryan Little injury is probably a bigger frustration than anything else because that really changes the look," said Maurice . I think this sums up the woes with our Jet team to date. Absolutely, depth is important but it's not an even swap here. When significant pieces of a starting roster aren't available (Little, Trouba), it has such a domino effect on the look of the team. Lets hope this new look can at least manage until we get our pieces back (or a similar facsimile).

I also have a feeling (hope?) that Smith steps it up in the playoffs to calm any nervousness in keeping him in the lineup over Gurley.

Wash your mouth out.

Hope he's okay. Hope it's just being cautious.

No, not really.

Morris Lukowich looked in great shape, holy cow.

Ralph Nader missed his chance. :-)

Regardless of what one may think of him, some teams would welcome Stafford into their lineup. This makes him an ideal candidate to include in Trouba's trade package to get what we need. I just don't think we are going to see a one for one trade with Trouba.

My guess is Chevy and crew are showcasing him as a line number 1 winger to illustrate his stock as he'll be part of the Trouba trade package.

Right. My bad.

I guess I'm one of those people. Should he not technically be on the ice as he's still under contract?

IMHO, I'd like to see Tanev getting third line minutes.

Having no experience in this world of workout supplements or performance enhancing drugs, is it a difficult process in certain scenarios to fully understand what specific ingredients are in the supplement I'm taking? For example, are manufacturer's not labeling clear enough? Is this a concern for athletes who don't want to cheat?

Leaning on my heart, not my head, I still believe the Jets make the playoffs this year. No way we lose faith after three games. Once the Trouba situation gets resolved, the Jets take off.

And Ben Cahoon. The guy was money.

Thanks very much SS. 'Davis is still 2nd option at QB' I'm somewhat surprised by this. Wouldn't Glenn be our better option 2 at this stage of the season?
