***The OFFICIAL 2005 New York Jets Super Bowl or Bust Thread****

Herm needs to grow a pair and bench him (if Fielder can go). If neither of them can go, we should trade for Volek (unlikely, they said in the offseason they wanted a #1) or bring back...Vinny. Sad that that seems like a good option right now. Very, very sad.

At least Fabini is out for the year. He has looked 100% horrible.

Agreed on every count. Despite all the crap that the Jets and Pennington have spewed, his shoulder is still not 100%. I really think Pennington is hurting this team right now. I give him an "A" for effort, but his production is not even remotely as good.

If Fiedler isn't hurt, Edwards should be using him until Pennington can throw with velocity again. That might be another month or next season.

I've heard things like Martin hasn't exactly looked good either. But the O-Line play has been horrible and they have gone against some good defenses. It's also pretty easy to defend against the run when you don't have to worry about the pass.

The NFL Network reported that it's likely that Pennington is out for the season. He's getting the MRI treatment but it doesn't look good.

Good. I'm glad. He should do a proper rehab this time.

goddamn do i hate the jets.

especially how during every game they always show that retarded fireman, ugh. the cheer is awful, i didnt think it was actually real. come on, think of something better.

This team is closer to drafting Matt Leinart than getting into the playoffs, much less making the superbowl. Looking at that brutal schedule coming up, I can easily imagine this team winning only 4 or 5 games this year.

NEW YORK -- Jets quarterback Chad Pennington will miss the rest of the season because of a torn right rotator cuff, The Associated Press learned Monday night.


Pennington's injury was confirmed by a person with knowledge of his condition, but who declined to be identified because the team had not made an official announcement.

An MRI exam showed Pennington tore his rotator cuff in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to Jacksonville. The NFL Network originally reported the injury, the second time Pennington has had this tear in less than a year.

Pennington was expected to visit noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews in Alabama on Tuesday.

Maybe the jets can get Reggie Bush in the draft.

Now, sure. But we were a kick away from getting to lose to The Pats in the AFC Championship game last year and this Super Bowl thread started *before* the season. We lost Ferg, signed Law, felt ok about things.

Yes, our schedule does suck. No, if we win 5 games we're not drafting Leinert. It does you no good to have a good QB when you're left tacklle is a [censored] matador. I'll take D'Brickashaw. But its a bit too soon to be talking draft.

[brettbrettr]

All I have to say is its Vinny time.

[brettbrettr]

FAN just said we signed Vinny. Vinny is my favorite player. I have no illusions that he's any good at all, but this makes me happy.
