The teams playing pretty well... I dont think now is the time to make any trades.
I would certainly agree at this point. However, even if they win every game, I'd still trade Buff in the off-season.
LOL That would be odd.

Holy crap thats good.

May also cost the team fans and money.

Never noticed before Hutch catches with his right hand.
Not that it matters tho.
As long as he catches it, right?
Not fair for you to comment on that though as I can't watch it,,,,,, most Jet games are blacked out here in Kelowna…in Kelowna for H sakes!
Oh well, back to the Chicago-Anaheim game for me.
Sry dude.
If you have Rodgers for a smart phone get the center ice app and you can watch any game.

Not a huge Pavs fan... But hes the starter right now so im assuming he gets the call.
I would like to see Hutch get like 2 - 3 games in a row to see what he does tho.

Well certainly the level of understanding of many people involved can be questioned. Sharpton is actually being critical of the violent protestors but I dont trust him at all. He criticised the DA for mentioning Brown's crimes. Thats what started this whole thing.
Like we are to believe this cop who never used his weapon previously is a racist who was eager to kill a young black man and drove around for six years just waiting for his chance?

Now there is video out of the step father screaming.... Burn this B.... Down!
Michael Brown's step father?
So sad. frustrating.
Ya.
right after the verdict ... hes standing on a car telling the protesters to burn this ***** down.
I assume he wasnt arrested even though I would be for doing the same thing.
All these people breakuing the law because they want justice will surely turn themselves into police, right? The people making accusations of racism are the people who only care about the skin colour of those involved, not the facts of the case.
Ofcourse the real answer is, this isnt about Michael Brown. It's about an excuse for lawlessness. No indictment? Riot. Indictment? Riot.
Whats really sad is now the family is on CNN with their lawyers and are doing nothing but feeding the fire.
They dont seem to be asking for peaceful protests but are more bringing some gas to it.
This whole thing has got way out of hand IMO. And this family doesnt seem to be helping anything as sad as it is to say.
I wonder how much they are being manipulated by people around them. The Sharpton types. i wonder if they have actually reviewed the evidence themselves. They must realise their son committed a robbery that triggered this entire thing.
I dont think they know whats going on. And this may sound bad but..... These people dont sound very bright at all.
They just dont seem to get it at all. And they are only making them selves look worse. really sad.

I agree in patience and building but the team has to show improvement this year. It's the same old same old year after year. They aren't getting better. I mean we're nkt the oilers but we're a middling team that isn't improving.
LOL..... Man you complain alot. Pretty easy to just stop watching. They arnt world beaters and im pretty sure nobody expected them to be. Well maybe you did.
When we go up against the elite teams of the league this kinda games are going to happen. You cant just panic and start trading everybody. Its a good game to learn from.
Why do you bother posting here? This is a discussion form and I posted my thoughts. Look, Im sorry your precious Jets arent "world beaters" and Im sorry that any criticism of them hurts your soul, but this is a discussion forum where discussion is encouraged, not blind faith.
But just so we understand each other, to you there are two options for the Jets: 1) World Beaters 2) Lose. Okay, thank you.
LOL...... Lighten up dude. No need to be attacking me i didnt you nor do i try to put words in your mouth like you.
I never ever said anything even close to this.... LOL
I look at things like this.... The Blues and most elite teams built their teams up and they sucked for years before they could ice a complete team that can compete year in and year out consistently. They didnt panic and start making silly moves just for the sake of making moves.
I even gave an example of it. The Islanders use to do that. It got them nowhere untill they stopped doing that.
No one is attacking you. You came into a discussion and accused me of "complaining". Im not complaining, Im discussing. Its okay to discuss the Jets' negatives as much as it is their positives. Its great to be a homer but it doesnt usually lead to enlightened discussion.
No one is suggesting they need to make a lot of trades, especially dumb trades. Again, you focus on a point that wasnt even made. If you want to debate building through the draft versus trading, then there is merit in that discussion but neither option is black & white.
I have been a huge proponent of the patient build through the draft mentality. But it ONLY works if you're actually getting better. As fans (and media), we bought into the idea of a five year plan (which True North never specifically stated). Its Year Four and this team is essentially the same. If the plan is to wait for the new core of Scheif, Trouba, Ehlers, Petan to be 25 before we are cup contenders, then so be it, but lets not be heart breakers, trade anyone over the age of 27 and get picks.
Good teams building through the draft and supplement that with trades. The Islanders were poorly managed. If youre arguing that the Jets shouldnt make trades to better themselves because of how the Islanders did it, that's a terrible example. Thats taking the worst example and saying "see, it doesnt work". On the other hand we could point at the Oilers and say "see, theres a team with how many top picks, tons of talent and their refusal to trade anyone to get better has made them worse off".
The fact is, the Jets have talent. They also continue to have a lack of depth which we all thought they had fixed this year. The fourth line barely plays. How can a team have sustained success when they dont use their fourth line. If Maurice is saying our fourth line isnt good enough to play in the NHL (and thats what he's saying when they play less than 5 minutes), then Chevy has to upgrade those players. Thats a no brainer.
I've been a proponent of trading Buff. He's 30 years old at the end of this season. He's 270 lbs. He has one year left at $6 million and he's repeatedly said he prefers to play a position that Maurice has said he isnt going to play on the Jets. Is he going to re-sign here? Do we want him? We resign him at, what, 5 years, $6.5 million a year and by the time the Jets are contenders, the things that Buff does well he wont be doing so well anymore. On the other hand, he has immense value to contending teams. With only one year left, he's more attractive to a team willing to over pay because they think Buff can put them over the top. Trade him. That, to me, is a no brainer, despite the fact Buff is the most unique impact player in the NHL.
I've been a big proponent of Pavs. But again, below .900 goaltending is killing this team. Is the plan to wait until Hellebuyck is a starter? Pavs contract is decent, he has two years left. I dont know the goaltending answer but I do know if Pavs finishes the year around the same as the last two, the question of his ability will finally be answered.
Ok.... starting to see how this works.
A discussion goes both ways..... Not one calling the other a homer if they dont agree.
But you have at it dude and enjoy.

RIP.
Great guy for Hockey.

I say they stay on course... patience is important... rarely do you see any team have a great many years of success by making trades with non superstar players....
I agree.... Jus look at the Islanders over the last 10 years. They did what some here want to do... Panic and make stupid moves. Now that they have stopped that they are getting better.
Terrible comparison.
Why? Its true.

Migs is over at BB.com these days getting the gears over there too. lol. He is actually pretty good at distracting our resident homer over there. Two ultimate positrons going head to head. Popcorn and a beer and let the good times roll.
hahaha Its really funny.

LOL
Well its not like i go over and have convos with the guy.
I jus know he lives next door to a buddy.
And ya im pretty sure he does shows.

Id have to assume that before the Bombers give Buck the OC job they have done their due diligence and make sure hes got some sorta play book with a real offence in it. Ill just say i think we brought Buck back to not just be a RB coach.

I know that Joey was a popular rock DJ at CKY in the mid 60's to early 70's. He released this song in early 1971 & never went behind the mic on radio again in Winnipeg. I have no idea what he's doing today. He'd be pushing his 70's.
Lives in the St James area near the Grace Hospital. Buddy of mine lives next door.

What's the debate here? (Not here specifically, but between O'Shea and who ever he is having a power struggle with.)
The Bombers defence was 2nd last in yards given up. Dead last in points per game. A bloody expansion team was better than us!
They were 2nd last in sacks and tied for last in interceptions.
O'Shea needs to wake up and make the change that is needed. Or Walters needs to step up and make the right decision.
This shouldn't even be a debate. Bellefeuille's performance as offensive coordinator needs to closely assessed but Etcheverry ought to be a dead man walking. The dithering on O'Shea's part does not reflect well on him.
I agree.
If it is O'Shea that wants to keep either of these guys then im a bit worried.
I like O'Shea and hope he works out... But some things make me wonder what hes thinkin. Maybe i was sorta assuming wrong when i figured hed be more aggressive.
And if there is a power struggle or whatever..... it concerns me. If everyone's not pulling the rope in the same direction then its not going to end well.
