Game Thread: MNFB NYJ @ ATL 10/7/'13

Since Atlanta is 1-3, I think I'll root for them.

Same here

Screw that. JETS

One of the funniest things to me that goes on in the NFL is so much of the utter crap that gets thrown at Rex Ryan. I actually find it funny. Not just saying that.

Geno pulled a Kaepernick. He ran out of bounds for a loss.

 

[Dodub]

That was one hell of the throw from Geno. Definitely a big league throw.

 

[NinerSickness]

Sheldon Richardson with the sack. That Jets' DL is nasty.

 

[NinerSickness]

Another TD Jets.

What is it with the NFC this year? The AFC is obliterating the NFC.

 

[Dodub]

Geno is playing well on the big stage here. Showcasing his skill

 

[ChrisPozz]

I said this a couple times already this year, but I'd be really curious to see what the 49ers could do with Jeff Cumberland. It'll never happen as long as they are committed to McDonald, but I can wonder.

Blame the NFC East and South divisions. Their combined record against the AFC is 2-13.

Geno Smith makes a lot of big league throws. That's why he was a top prospect.

 

[Dodub]

Wow. That Jets run D looks tough

 

[NinerSickness]

Birdies get stuffed at the goal line. They even got an extra try with the PI penalty on 4th down, and they couldn't get it in. So they get 0 points & go into half time down 10.

Oh I was never one of his doubters. I thought that he would turn into a very good QB but admittedly I didn't think that he would be able to start his first year. He's proving a lot of people wrong this year.

 

[NinerSickness]

He's proving a lot of people wrong this year.

Seriously???

8 Picks in the first 4 games and he's "proven" people wrong?

Geno has a LOOOOOOONG way to go before he's proven anything.

I don't care how many picks he has this early in his rookie year, the guy has played well and has led to team in tough situations. He's shown a lot of potential to be something great in this league. I understand a lot of people hate the guy for one reason or another but I'm not one that is so blinded by hatred that I can't see the good that he has been doing. Just watch this game and you'll see how much this kid has progressed.

 

[Dodub]

Jets have a nice young DL, they seem to be set setting themselves up pretty well for the future.

Huge fan of Wilkerson and Richardson. Coples not so much.

If you don't care about how many picks he's thrown then I guess one could make an argument that Geno has played well. Taking into consideration that interceptions give the opposing team the ball, however, he has not played well at all.

He's shown a lot of potential to be something great in this league.

So did Vince Young (who I'm sure you thought would be a HOFer).

And let's not throw words out there like "hatred" and "blind." My prediction is that Geno doesn't have the attitude to be a great QB. Could I be wrong? Sure. Most of the time I see something more specific in a guy's game (Bradford, Freeman, Cam) to predict that he won't be successful. I actually liked Geno's game in college, but his mentality doesn't strike me as a great NFL QB.

In his first 4 games, he has done nothing to "prove" anyone wrong. He's playing well tonight though.
