Mike Florio Calls Jets the "Best Team in the NFL"

PrintNo, the year is not 2012, or I would get extremely worried for humanity's sake. But the Mike Florio, the writer for ProFootballTalk.com who graciously took up our bet and wore a Wayne Cherbet jersey on "PFTV" a few weeks ago, has written words I never thought I would see on the infamous football news source site:
The Jets, who'll host the Vikings, "likely" will have three big names in the lineup for the game: receiver Santonio Holmes, linebacker Calvin Pace, and cornerback Darrelle Revis.
If it happens, it makes the best team in the NFL right now (yes, I said it) even better.
As you sit there, stunned, as unable to move as I was, let me begin to say that Mike Florio and his crew have gotten much better in terms of reporting facts and less of reporting their own opinions. I will go back to linking to their site without feeling like I'm selling my soul.
Ok, by now, the stun should have worn off by now and you should have feeling in your extremities.

IS IT A TYPO?
NOOOOOO why’d he have to say that? I’m big on jynxes because they always happen whenever something relates to me. This bastard HAD TO FINALLY SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. and now bad things will happen. i don’t know what. but i feel it. call me crazy.
Honestly you watch this team
It just feels that way, nothing really fancy just hard nosed football even without our key players. Ravens offense looks suspect, I’m watching Miami Henne has thrown 2 critical picks so far their defense looks so-so,Patriots are not the same team, I think its between us and the Steelers. I was listening to Keller on 1050 he was like their were a lot of issues we had last week saying they could have had 50 easy. When guy asked him about Holmes coming back you hear him just laugh you could tell he was shaking his head.
I hate to agree with a Nets fan.
HATE it! But you’re right man, I can’t see how people can watch us play and not believe we’re the real deal. Other people who still doubt just hate.

You should be nice to Nets fans. Another miserable season is upon them, and elite players continue to want no part of their team.

haha, I think him calling us the best team in the NFL is still an opinion
Get busy winning or get busy losing.
reminds me of last year playoff. nobody gave the Jets a chance against Cincinnati and San Diego. So after the Jets won, these same people all pick the Jets to beat Indy. don't need to explain how that turned out.

This seems to happen every year around this time
I think the talking heads are just trying to jinx us. Even Skip Bayless called us the best team in the NFL. I prey our Jets arent buying into the hype this time.
I'm not worried
Last time it happened, as Buzzy noted was in 2008, that was more due to Favre having a bad shoulder. As I recall, he played terribly in those final 5 games. And also, I doubt a lot of players “buy into the hype” when stuff like this happens. Sure, there are always primma donna’s, but most of these guys, on any team, are professionals and want to show what they can do week in, week out.
It happened last year when we were 3-0
Even Sanchez admitted he bought into the hype and thought the NFL was easy. Im just hoping 2010 isnt more of the same.
A part of me believes it's easier to say that than to say they out played us.
Or in the case of Sanchez in some games last year, saying he just flat out sucked. (Maybe he did say those things as well, I didn’t watch every press conference and I don’t even remember what has been said this season by most of these guys). If it did affect them last year, let’s hope they’ve learned their lesson.
Wow Danny Woodhead is having a big game
just scored a TD

metsjetsknicksrangers.............can it get any worse?
Mike Florio and his crew have gotten much better in terms of reporting facts and less of reporting their own opinions.
Its amazing how when you agree with other people’s opinions, in particular how good one’s team is, “facts” suddenly seem to appear.

It wasn’t just this, buddy. I go on that site more times than I am willing to admit, and they say credible, reliable information regarding all 32 teams as of late. Which isn’t something I was willing to say a few months ago.

Sure. But the desire to come out at give the compliment, publicly, fits rather nicely with the OPINION of the Jets they now have expressed.
