Question about Jets fans...

Because the Jets are built on a Guarantee. In 1969 Namath guaranteed a super bowl win and it happened.

Since then they have been trying to replicate that, but have failed. And now they have nothing to lose since they've been tortured for so long.

I know this is a pointless thing to to post but just let me vent. Why do Jets fans talk so much **** despite then fact that more than half the time they always get embarassed? If you go onto any Jets forum they will say we don't look very good and they are going to embarass us on National tv!! When will they learn to just shut their mouths?? Haven't they learned that every game they play against us comes with a nice heaping serving of humble pie!? (as if Rex Ryan needs more food to shove down his big slop hole of a mouth). The fact that Jets fans think that they are hot **** because they won 1 game pisses me off even though I am happy that they are being so cocky so when we mop the floor with them it will be that much sweeter. Like I said I just needed to vent because this is going to be a VERY long week for me as well as for most of you I would assume.

Does anyone have any explanation as to why Jets fans are so delusional??

Wouldn't you be delusional if your team had won a Super Bowl with Joe Namath at the helm? And now they think they can win one with Mark Sanchize............:sidelol:

They're New Yorkers, it's how they are raised to act. They can't help being boisterous and loud.

It doesnt help that the media feeds them.

Hey! some of us are smart and became Fins fans. Plus, Giants fans aren't like that. The Eagles and Cowboys fans have them beat by far in that division for being loud and obnoxious.

Every team has their share of obnoxious and dellusional fans. I, like most of the Jets fans I know, am very realistic about my team. If anything, I am very pessimistic and always look for the Same Old Jets to show up.

If you are a long time Dolphins fan, you should know that it doesn't matter how good or bad either team is, most Jets/Dolphins games can go either way. I've been going to the games since 1986 and I have seen it all, from the Marino/O'Brien shootouts, to the fake spike, to the Monday Night Miracle.

And I am not sure where you came up with the "every game we play against them comes with a serving of humble pie". You might want to look farther back than last year.

Here's to a good game on Sunday.

More than the week prior it's after the Dolphins win and the Jets fans start coming up with excuses why they lost instead of giving credit were it is due.

It was more of a statement to be made about each teams new era. Both the Phins and Jets are starting a new era with their young Quarterbacks and our team has gotten the better of your team thus far.

Aside from that it seems that most Jets fans I encounter think that they will beat the snot out of every single team they play (see, Baltimore). As well as crowning their team paper champions every year. It gets old very fast and you can't help but wonder when these people will learn to shut up.

It is always a breath of fresh to meet a Jets fan that you can have a civil conversation with and I hope you are who you say you are but my hate for the other type of Jets fans cannot be put into words...

Hey man - I hear you. You can't imagine the ding dongs in Marino jerseys I have had to deal with at the Meadowlands over the years. But I'm not ready to stereotype every single Dolphins fan based on those yo-yo's.

Maybe you are dealing with a younger generation of Jets fan. The ones that have been fans since the 80's or earlier have had the life sucked out of them and rarely beat their chest. I know I never do.

Are you talking about the fans or Rex Ryan?

FWIW, if I was a fan of any other team besides the Jets, I hate Rex Ryan too.

I don't know man what is the average age on Ganggreen??? It's not just the fans though it's also the media that hypes them up, that is probably the worst of them all.

Anyways I am glad that you have joined the thePHINS it is always nice to see rivals on here, especially civil ones :knucks:.

Thanks - I enjoy reading informative posts/opinions of a rival team. That's not to say that there aren't any ra-ra types on here, but that goes with any internet sports forum.

I joined thegangreen dot com...made a few posts (one predicting a loss to the Ravens :lol:) There are some knowledgeable posters there, but a ton of younger "we can beat anyone!" types. Like I said. It's teh interweb. I expect nothing less.

Trust me when I say this...This is the most realistic Dolphin Board that you will ever find. As you said there is some "rah-rah" posts here, but it is just optimism as you would expect but a large majority of posters here are very knowledgable. But if you go on certain Dolphin forums that I will not name you will see some absolutley ridiculous posts. For example I saw a post on another forum a while ago stating that Vontae Davis is better than Revis :lol:.

Well, as already stated elsewhere all teams have some of THOSE type of fans. But all it means is they're confident in their team. I'm not really trying to be an ass here, but ask yourself this ..are you really that much different? Reread your original post and then decide.
You didn't say "if we mop the floor with them" or even "if we beat them" You said "When we mop the floor with them". Is it delusional when someone else says it and just confidence when we say it?
Again I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just suggesting perspective here.

A couple of more games like yesterday and he can proclaim an island or whatever the hell he wants. He was on fire.:knucks:

I was just venting and spewing out as much **** talking as I could lol. I usually try to refrain from being a complete ***hole, even to rivals :lol:. In reality I am a reasonable fan, and while I am very confident about this game (more than any other game thus far) I will admit that anything can happen in a rivalry game and I never guarantee games when I am being completley serious.

What I usually do when it comes to posting about the weeks upcoming game is make a few posts actually breaking down the game and giving my true opinion on it. Followed by a flurry of posts talking as much **** as I can. In this case I started out with the **** talking out of rage when I read what Jets fans are saying about us.

As I mentioned in my OP I knew that my post was pointless and that rivals smack talking is a given' but It's always good to get things off your chest :yes:.

Absolutley. Vontae is coming into his own and is really starting to make a name for himself. He will be a household name in a couple years.

Can I ask why you would be more confident about this upcoming game than you were against the Jills? I can understand not being confident about Minny in their house, but Buffalo? They are probably the worst team in the league. Their offense is pitiful. I know it was a road game, but come on.

I am not trying to start an argument, but I think it wouldn't be a stretch to say that you will being facing a better defense than Minn or Buff....and you didn't exactly light those guys up. I can understand you feeling good about your defense against the Jets offense, but I wouldn't think it will be easy to roll up points on the Jets - and that is not because the Jets defense is a steel wall, but more of a combination of them being pretty good and the Miami offense being pretty average so far. I expect a very tough, low scoring game that could go either way. Wouldn't shock me if it came down to the last possession and a FG attempt.

It would not shock me if it came down to a very fat man crying.:up:

The Bills are dream killers...that's all I gotta say.

As for the game vs the Jets I think that our defense will confuse Mark Sanchez thus resulting in turnovers. I also think that we have momentum winning 2 road games and it being our home opener on Sunday night. I feel like the Jets confidence is back up through the roof and they are not going to come into this game thinking that they have already won it.

I think that our offense can really break out if Henning takes his head out of his *** and let's Henne air it out to Marshall. Asides from that I think it will be a very close, defensive game in which the most disciplined team will win...which I truly believe is the Dolphins.

If I may take liberty...we have seen the Bills do some things to other division opponents on opening day...they are very tough at home and especially early on and Gailey while not a great HC turned chicken**** into chickensalad when he was our OC..those two things had a lot of us worried...The Patriots are very skilled but they have gotten soft since the veteran heart of that D has long left Vraebel Seymour Bruschi Harrison.. The Dolphins are at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to toughness.. toughness is something the Jets are used to having an edge with not against the Dolphins..neither can claim it..to close to call imo.

So I feel slightly better about our chances at home against the Jets than I did on the road in buffalo against a lot of unknowns.
