1) To the American mindset, soccer is slow and boring, maybe there is a faction of the British population who craves more action
2) The first thing many Americans complain about are soccer scores. 1-0, 1-1. Maybe they crave for 27-23,31-28 games.
3) maybe David and his fellow countrymen love seeing on a sweep, a 325 pound offensive lineman blocking a two hundred pound corner into the fish and chip vendor in the stands and not get a yellow card.
I agree that G. Wilson is the Jet that I root for the most. That is followed by JJ, Stiggers, AVT, and Andrew Peasley. I like Peasley's moxie, his standing in the pocket and taking the hit to complete the pass, and his athleticism. I'd love to see him develop, fix his accuracy issues, and be the Jets' future starting QB moreso than Travis.
I agree that the Jets have a top 10 RB unit and that is mostly due to Breece, but they have some serious potential in Allen, Davis and Abanikanda. I'm surprised that their WR corps is rated as highly as #19, but that's due to G. Wilson and M. Williams.
The 33rd Team are a bunch of wackos. Taking a S, Jalen Pitre over JJ? Please.
I agree that WR and QB salaries are nuts.
I think the B+ grade from Walden is about right, although it may be a little generous. Even though in terms of the draft and FA I think the Jets' offseason is potentially an A, they can't get an A because they retained Hackett and Carter.
First off, the Jet wr room at 19. Kind of hard to evaluate the Jets wide receivers when you have quarterbacks like Zach, Boyle and Siemian throwing and Turnstile Turner, Becton,Tomlinson, and Xavier Newman- Johnson as your starting offensive lineman.
Just having Hackett and his prevent offense within 100 miles from Florham Park is a negative that is so hard to overcome. Also, a writer on X yesterday pointed out that the Jets threw to Garrett an average of only 1 1/2 attempts in the first quarter, that must be #1 on Hackett’s play sheet, brilliant game planning.
Of course, having Lazard forgetting his job is to catch every ball thrown his way not drop it justifies the 19th ranking.
The one thing that the brilliant writers from PFF failed to realize is that Garrett Wilson is a special talent.
In two seasons in attempting to catch passes from the like of Zach, Boyle, Siemian, Flacco, White and fan favorite Streveler.
He has totaled 178 receptions, 2145 receiving yards and 7 tds. Imagine if he ever had a compedent quarterback and OC
Just an opinion, though my player evaluation skills are on a par to Hackett’s offensive skills, the Jets would have stayed true to their board if Sauce went 1, Garrett at 4 and JJ at 10.
I think at this point if the Jets don’t reach the AFC Championship game with Reddick playing all 17 regular season games and whatever playoff games are needed, this trade will will be a complete flop for JD. At this point just giving up a 5 for Reddick, he got his pocket pick.
To Seth Walder, for your take on Hackett, thank you for stating the obvious. The Torch and Pitchfork b
Brigade have been saying that since the Jet team bus with him aboard departed Foxboro after the last game of the year. The Jets should have left him there
David, yes the salaries are insane in my mind as well. I was reading about something with the Mets awhile ago. JD Martinez said if he has to go thru what he went thru this past year in free agency and was only offered 3 million next year he wud rather retire. I think many other others wud say the same. This is really bothersome.
😂 - At first I thought it was doing well because of the novelty of it, but here we are 40 games later and 17 years later and it's still growing from strength to strength. I don't know if it's popular enough to maintain a team to be perfectly honest, and it's still a long way behind the core sports here...but I'm not sure the NFL expected that international series to do as well as it has done.
The majority are Brits, I've been to it every year since 2007 and you always have a nice mix, but if I was to estimate based on talking to people around the stadium etc, I'd say it's probably 70% Brits to 30% Americans who come over.
Ok then - it really is popular - ! I was thinking about it myself but going to 10 here and hopfuly more thought against it - its a 2 plus hour ride here - However JB is now driving lol
Reasons the NFL is popular in England

Haha that's the way to do it. It's around an hour and 20 for me to get to Tottenham, and I certainly won't be driving that game
When your kids get older you will have your own chaffeurs lol -
"Placate Rogers?" How many doorknobs did the JETS take on for the 4 plays?
