To prove that forecasts are wrong lots of times... has anyone looked outside? Black as black can be over here, oh thunder.. it's gonna rain but guess what.. just looked at my weather app and nope, says nothing of the sorts yet looking outside and just listening shows me that yup it's a coming.

Not sure if people have paid attention but from DAY 1, the Jets have always said that the plan is to draft and develop. I'm not sure why anyone thinks otherwise to be honest, they have said it since DAY 1. Draft and Develop, won't overpay for free agents, it won't happen and probably never will. The Jets are a draft and develop team and have made no secrets about that. So we lost Frolik, big deal really... Ehlers and Burmi should be able to replace his production and maybe even do more... Losing Frolik is not gonna be the end of the world.. Who else did they lose really? Nobody that they didn't want too Slater,Tlusty,Stempniak? Oh well, 2 were rentals and 1 was a joke really... all 3 were not offered contracts by the Jets and so far, have not been offered contracts by any team in the league... They just lost frolik and will replace him with the youngsters...ITs been the plan since day 1. No playoffs? We will see about that but... all i know is, better get used to losing players and seeing youth injected in to the line up cuz that's how they have said it's gonna be. Scheif,Lowry,Myers,Trouba... all young players that will continue to grow with the team.... Add Ehlers and Burmi and maybe some others like Morrissey Lemieux and Petan or Copp... It's how you build a team really, you don't go out in free agency and over pay guys... honestly the free agent class this year was the weakest its been in years, when a guy like Frolik is considered one of the top guys available, it's a weak class.. If you actually look at teams like Chicago for example, they drafted and developed there guys too (Toews,Kane,Keith,Seabrook etc) Saad who they had to trade even, so many others too, they don't go out and sign free agents galore, neither does Detroit, they promote from with in and it works... The teams who go out and sign all these free agents to big money deals, hows it work for them exactly? Ask the leafs how signing Clarkson worked for them or Flordia how signing Bolland worked out for them. The biggest question for the Jets really isn't... can they make the playoffs or what have they done to replace the guys they have lost (the one guy)... It's can they get league average goaltending again? Cuz if they can, then this team probably does make the playoffs... That's been the problem tho, That's the real problem with the team... It's goaltending and until it's fixed, you just don't know what you are gonna get with them. League average goaltending and the team makes the playoffs, Pav struggles as does Hutch? No chance... Better than league average goaltending? They might surprise some people and instead of being a wildcard team, finish near the top of the central.

Terrence Edwards on twitter too. Asked how long it would take for the fans to boo Marve. Like it or not... we have a rep as being impatient a holes and seriously.. it's not good

It also helps that the als as a team are divided. The Michael Sam stuff is killing them. All over twitter right now.

Being a healthy scratch don't mean you are healthy tho. If you watch the game last week near the end Veltung got nailed several times near the end and seemed to be nicked up. I doubt they would sit him if he was healthy. The conspiracy stuff is fun but.... it's not really worth talking about.

Yup moore is there just not capitalized on the phone

Adams is hurt. Veltung is too apparently so aren't we going moore Denmark Gordon Kohlert and JFG as starters??

Lots of loyalty shown to mediocre players. I like MOS but I dunno if he's the right guy anymore. Just making dumb roster decisions over and over

Yeah. The starting 8 Canadians thing is starting to piss me off.

Mike Quinn? Was he the QB who threw a pick but instead of throwing it he actually went to throw the ball and the guy from behind took the ball from him b4 he could throw it?

I'm just curious.

Just a question for those who actually know the numbers... Taking out the 2 hamilton games, how many sacks have we allowed? And then Taking out the Edmonton game also... how many sacks have we allowed? I'm curious about this because... those 2 teams play similar type of D where everyone else.. not so much.. Just curious what the numbers look like sacks against wise if you removed both hamitlon games and the one Edmonton game? Anyone have any idea?

Well, Short passes, 5 yard passes, if the D is concentrating on containing you, short little passes could probably turn in to long gains, screen passes, play action type stuff, gotta use the run game... if the D gets to greedy at times, look for the long one over the top.

Basically, it's time for our backup QBs to **** or get off the damn pot... Step up, don't care who steps up... Just somebody, step up and show you can win a damn game without Willy.

Let's hope we go Moore,Denmark,Gordon,Veltung,Kohlert then cuz if they take Veltung off the roster, man that's a dumb move. This starting 8 Canadians thing needs to stop. I don't know if it's just them being stubborn or stupid but... Veltung is better than JFG and should definitely be starting ahead of him and considering Westerman,Hurl,Bucknor,3 Oline, Kohlert... There is no need to start 2 Canadian receivers.

I would suggest you have a very short memory then. It wasn't like Calgary Depth or anything but nobody has that depth, it's not toronto depth but again Millanovich is a QB making machine really... We definitely had better depth than BC and still do in my opinion, Definitely better than Montreal... Might even be better than Hamilton, It's basically collaros or nothing there... definitely better than Ottawa, who is the backup to Henry even? Don't kid yourself man, OUR QB depth definitely wasn't Calgary or Toronto but nowhere near the bottom that's for sure. Probably in the middle...

Damn it, I liked this comment but DAMN IT really... lol This is honestly exactly what i said to myself after the first 5 minutes of the game last week, nothing worse can happen and then right on cue, cotton breaks his wrist or whatever, adams gets hurt, willy gets hurt.... just...Damn it lol

Honestly, I have mentioned in the past that i'd love to see marve fail but really it's just directed at people who were pimping him like he was the next best thing. I don't want to see him fail, i want to see him play well, win the damn game really. Go Marve, Go Bombers, SHOCK THE WORLD... Shut people up... Would love to see Marve go out there and have the game of his life and bombers go out there and destroy the argos... would love to see that, Hope it happens, really do.. If people honestly are hoping for Marve to fail tho and werent just frustrated at the constant PLAY MARVE stuff after every loss, well, they aren't really fans to begin with are they? I'd never want to see one of our guys fail, I'm a bomber fan and whoever they are playing, even if it was old cement shoes Brohm, I'd hope he has a great game and we win. Seriously, they could start do or die or booch or really an 8 year old kid from the stands and i'd still be cheering them on. Just thought at times, the whole PLAY MARVE stuff after every loss, well it got tiresome really It was more tongue in cheek than anything serious tho... Like Marve, hope he plays well, hope we win, hope he shows he's learned something the last year or so, hope he can give his dad a great birthday present out there.

Oh no, people were definitely pimping our QB depth, not very long ago either... Can pretend that you don't remember or whatever else but... it definitely was the case.

Agreed. But then Brohm played this year and sucked and then it all changed. But definitely bang on, not just the off-season but a few short weeks ago, b4 Brohm went out and played people loved our QB depth, even talked of trading one to SASK or Montreal even. Just to touch on something there, (prior to getting hurt), was a thumb injury right? perhaps it hasn't fully healed and that's part of his problem this season. Cuz people can go on and on about Brohm but the one thing he did have last year was a strong arm, this year, not so much. Makes you wonder about that injury he had.

Stoudemire? I don't think he's really been a big problem, yeah he's had a couple mistakes but if you are cutting guys cuz they made a couple mistakes, might as well cut the whole damn team then. I don't get the stoudemire bashing, just last week he had a great return to set up the willy to darvin adams TD.

Not so long ago, when Durant got hurt, people on here were going on about how good our QB depth was... Brohm played a bit and sucked and it changed but... let's not pretend that a few shorts weeks ago people weren't pretty much pimping how good our QB depth was. Yeah It's gonna take a bit of a hit when your starter gets hurt, no doubt about it... Time to see what Marve can do. If not Marve then Davis... I'm at the point where i don't want them to recycle QBs from the past, i'd rather they give a younger guy a chance and stick with him a few weeks.

Why not just see what Marve can do first, I'm sure they will bring in another QB but i doubt that guy sees the field... I guess, what i hope happens is they bring in another QB during the bye week, lets just say he's a newbie QB, a guy off the neg list, someone like that... They put him on the PR to let him learn the game, 6-8 weeks go by and Willy is healthy to play, Brohm gets cut and we go with Willy,Marve,Davis on the active roster and keep the youngster on the PR. Would like to see Brohm cut now, since he's being paid nicely and not doing anything but... that seems unlikely, hopefully before the vet cut down day tho.

Wouldn't Khari as OC and i like the guy but wouldn't it be like Having MB as OC all over again? Khari got his start in Hamilton did he not? when MB was coach? Khari is MB just a younger version really. I don't know if I'd have much interest in Khari. I don't think LAPO is the answer either, he's been here b4 2 x and yeah... very vanilla, It's like people don't remember screaming at the TV when it was 2nd and 10 and lapo called a 4 yard pass.

I think the bombers have about as much of a chance as signing Heenan as anyone else does really.. IF he goes come back to the CFL, he's gonna go to the highest bidder, that easily could be the bombers. But, i think it's unlikely he signs with the CFL until his NFL aspirations are completely gone. I think the Colts will bring him back when he's healthy and I think he will stick there for a while, and if not, he will check out his other NFL opportunities and if none are there, he will be back in the CFL next season, not sure where but... really, why not here.
