Another thing to note, all of the suspended players are playing… so clearly Goodell realizes he is powerless agianst the players. And the players were the only one talking here.

You are all just jealous of Sexy Rexy. The amount of hate towards Rex Ryan is overkill. I am a Jets fan I’m sure you’ll all call me biased and whatnot. But Rex Ryan is one of the best coaches currently in the NFL. Look at the list of coaches currently employed who have made it to 2 AFC Championship games. Now list the ones that did it in a 3 year span… Short list huh? Rex has earned the right to talk crap and there’s nothing you can say that would make that change. You’re right, no superbowl rings… yet. But there are few coaches who have won a superbowl in their first three years. Next saying the jets “suck” and that Rex is a terrible coach is just stupid. They’re missing their top two players and still have hung tight the last two weeks with a pair of elite teams. They’ve played very good football every week but 1 (the niners) and that is in large part thanks to Sanchez and Rex doing their jobs so well.

On another note, Rex said nothing here… just saying. So I’m not sure while you’re calling him out here for talking smack. Also Aaron Maybin needs to keep his mouth shut and so does Landry. I cam here to defend a great coach not a bust and an injury prone safety.

To conclude, stop hating on Rex, anybody who does is ignorant about the game of football. On the note of Landry and Maybin, fire away ‘phins fans.

@robertjamis: Yes, big hits are celebrated and on highlights. But paying players to attempt to injure, and have coaches instruct players to target ACLs and concussions is NOT celebrated. There is a difference between what the Saints were punished for and “making big hits”. BIG difference.

And yes, football is a violent game by nature. It is physical, nobody ever said otherwise, nobody is talking about taking away big hits. But there is a right way and a wrong way to do it, and that is what has been targeted by the league. Tackling fundamentals and technique, not just spearing yourself head first into a defenseless players head. Again, BIG difference. Find something you actually understand to cry about, because this obviously isn’t it.

And if Maybin being on the field and making a play is what you’re worried about, don’t. lol

I think the most shocking thing to come out of this whole thing is the fact that someone took the time to interview Aaron Maybin.

While they are worrying about Reggie and “headhunting” “knocking him out legally” getting him “on out” and finding the hot sauce, Tannehill will be ripping them a new one through the air. Thus leaving Rex looking like someone just over tightened his lapband and Sporano with that same stupid look that we phins fans have seen way too much. GO PHINS!!!!!!!!

What’s wrong with this? ESPN used to have a segment called “Jacked Up” where they celebrated big hits. Big hits are a major reason why people watch the NFL. They’re a big part of NFL advertising. This pretending otherwise is absurd and childish. Football is a violent game.

Now the league is insinuating that if Maybin hits Bush(he hasn’t hit much of anything this year) and it results in injury, he’ll be suspended? Even if it’s legal? Good Lord.

I’m glad to see that Roger Goodell is working hard to change the culture of the NFL. Good thing he punished those dirty saints for talking so mean. That should set the rest of the league straight.

I know Goodell is not going to do anything to the Jets because he’s a hypocrite and the Jets are in NY.
BUT,
one thing is sure: with the Jets claiming their intent to injure other players, which is what Goodell allegedly suspended and fined Saints players and coaches for, and his inaction in dealing with not only the declarations of intent to injure but Jets players actually injuring the player, Goodell is making a great case for Ginsberg and Vilma on Vilma’s defamation lawsuit. These recorded Jets interviews are going to play really well in chambers and in court.

You know what, Goodell? Don’t even mention the Jets until after the Tagliabue sham appeal. The Who Dat Nation wants to see you, Pash, Hummel, Cerullo, Williams, your napkin, your ledger, and all of your 50,000 pages of “evidence” in front of a federal judge.

The great Aaron Maybin has spoken! Beware. Hey Aaron, I hope you get within 5 yards of Bush at some point. For a guy with a zero careeer, Maybin sure talks a lot. I guess he finally ended up on the right team with the Jets.

How is this not leading to suspensions?
This team doesn’t know when to shut up. I’m a dolphins fan so i’m biase but even my friends who used to not have care either way about the Jets hate them now.. Can’t wait for Rex to be gone…

“Can we stop trying to pretend like this doesn’t happen everywhere? You hit guys hard to make the pay the price for playing the game. If you’re a QB and want to run, you’re going to pay that price. If you’re a 40 year old QB (Brett Favre), I wouldn’t let up on you either, it’s football, pay the price. They say Reggie Bush is too small to be an every down back, that’s because he can’t handle the hits, make him pay the price.”

Pure B(ovine) S(catology)!. Football is blocking, tackling, running, passing, and scoring – not legalized assault and battery – IF someone actually teaches the rules of the game and not how to respond to the desires of the wannabe badguys behind the television screen!

And here you have the EXACT thing that Saints fans are so furious about. EVERY team, thats right EVERY one of the 32 teams want to hit guys hard enough to make them snake bit (slow them down a bit) so their team can have an advantage as the most beastly team on the field to get an advantage to win. It’s part of the game, its the nature of football – yet the Saints got hung out to dry and it got turned into a “bounty” trying to hurt someone – YET their is NO PROOF of such a scheme by the Saints – they were merely doing what all teams do. Yet the Saints and their fans are the ones suffering with no coach, no GM, fines, and a bad rap. Now you understand the fustration! Why is the NFL not investigating the Jets for wanting to KNOCK OUT a player??? Oh thats right, different teams get different treatment – like trying to fix who wins or loses- would that have anything to do with the big bookies with the million dollar bets on who makes it to superbowl and the kick back the NFL gets????

So, if Roger Goodell was told to take the money out of the equation when deciding on a punishment for the Saints, what he was left with was clean, legal hits designed to keep opposing players out of the game. The Jets are outright saying that they’re looking to place clean, legal hits on Reggie Bush in order to take him out of the game. If Goodell is fair and impartial (as is required of him per the CBA for those of you who will use the argument that the players signed on for him to have this much power) then I am expecting to see widespread suspensions for the Jets. Come on, Roger. This is about player safety, right?

According to the NFL, Legal hits with intent to “knock out” a player are illegal.

This is so pathetic. The Jets can’t beat a team, so now they gather together to try to beat one guy? And why? Because he referenced karma after the first time they sh-t talked went bad? Wow!

The Jets have won some games and beat my beloved Dolphins a few weeks ago, but I can’t think of a single Jets player that I would like to see no playing. Maybe Cromartie but nobody on offense outside of a lineman.

Dear Jests & Fatso Bubber-Mouth Coach:

There is a psychological term called compensation—a mechanism by which an individual attempts to make up for some real or imagined deficiency of personality or behavior by developing or stressing another aspect of the personality or by substituting a different form of behavior.

#1. The game is called football.
#2. It is played on the field not in the media. #3. Thanks for being the team that everybody loves to hate.

The above behavior usually results in another term called retribution—requital according to merits or deserts, especially for evil. Punishment, reward as result of judgment.

Enjoy your team Jests fans!!

Before Maybin talks about “legally” injuring another player maybe he should first make more than 1 tackle almost halfway thru the season ?

Enough with the shock over these comments! This is still football, right? It’s so shocking that they want to be physical with the opposing running back. Come on people, enough already.

History is not on the side of the Jets. No team in the Rex Ryan era has been able to sweep the Dolphins, and New York is only 1-2 at home against Miami since 2009.
