Mike Florio Likes to Hear the Sound of His Own Voice: Predicts Jets Will Lose by 22

PrintYou can't make this stuff up, he just makes it too easy. Once again, his hatred for the Jets has blinded him. He's now opened the door for us to be able to laugh at him when he falls flat on his face.
Mike Florio, you are a genius.
Furthermore, that's a very bold prediction you're making, Mr(s). Florio. So you're saying the Patriots will come into our new house, a stadium in which they've never played before, and put up 5 touchdowns against one of the top five defenses in the NFL? Jets allowed only one TD last week, and the majority of the drive was kept alive by some "ghost" calls by the officiating crew.
Let's all point and laugh at the circus clown, because by Monday morning, he'll have found another way to take a backhanded shot at the Jets or a way to spin the result of Sunday's game.
Patriots at Jets
Florio's take: During an offseason of incessant Jets chirping, the Patriots have remained largely silent. Apart from Tom Brady's acknowledgement that he hates the Jets, the Pats have avoided the trash talk. Instead, the Patriots have saved it for the field, and the Jets may have a hard time saving themselves as the Pats make the only kind of statement that truly matters in football.
Florio's pick: Patriots 35, Jets 13.
Great pick, Mike. Keep up the good work. I was thinking more along the lines of a more competitive game, somewhere around the lines of 17-16, Jets, but it's your world, and we're just living in it! If you're wrong, you'll just bury your head in the sand and find another entity to slander like you always do!

Re: Florio
I honestly get sickened that people like Mike Florio not only are given a voice, but that they are legitimized. The guy’s analysis of games and players is colored with bias and the one thing he is supposed to be good for (inside information) is also blinded by that same bias. The Jets are the most obvious team he’s biased against, but it’s there throughout the NFL. Even John Clayton and Peter King (neither of whom I’m crazy about) are legitimate reporters compared to this guy. The fact that NBC gave this guy a national outlet is disgusting.

yeah
but who watches any football pregame/postgame on NBC, i’s truly awful. Rodney Harrison? Tony Dungy? Keith Olberman? Sterling Sharpe, Bob Costas, Tiki Barber, Cris Collinsworth…. NBC sucks. Florio fits right in there.

Spot on, it really is sad, that;s why I write articles such as these.
Unfortunately, the Mike Francesas/Mike Florios of the world do well with the big networks, because they attract viewers with their filth. Florio does get great traffic for his site.
They don’t cover sports, they just bitch about them.

Jake, it sickens me way more that this dweeb makes $200,000 a year to write this trash. Hey Florio, did you watch the Ravens game? Even when the Jets play their absolute worst, it’s a one point game. Don’t get me wrong, that was the least competitive one point game I’ve ever seen…we almost in a sense got blown out. But it was still 10-9.
Pats don’t hang 35 on this D. No one does.

I am a phins fan in NYC
So you have to imagine that I don’t normally come to jets sites (with all due respect to true fans here). that being said, Florio is such a friggin’ tool that when I saw this post on SB I came here to Rec it.

A few more steps in the dark and it's Willie Lanier. By the time I get to the bathroom, I'm flashing back to Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke. And when the light finally comes on, I just hope that somewhere in the darkness they're thinking of me, too" - Larry Csonka.

lol any time I see a Florio article, I read for humour and humour alone.
He is so biased it’s unbelievable, and he can see people know he’s a tool and he doesn’t care. 35 points would be something else against this D>

Anyone wanna kidnap MoFo so the D can use him as a Tackling Dummy?
This should be bulletin material in the locker room. Really.
i have an intresting idea for Miiss Florio
how bout we all pool our money and he gives us a 35 point spread against his $200.000 salary? Put the money were you arse i mean mouth is sucker!
22 is a number
22 is a number—-the great mike bossy for one comes to mind.
It is also mike florios girly waste size…this guy picks and reports on Football, our great national past time enjoyed by so many americans. Mike Florio has never had a blister on his lady hands let alone even touch a football. He and John Clayton are admitted lovers-how do we even care with jabrony says.
So here you go florio…
Jets 17 Pats 16—
and bite me if you could only open your mouth wide enough
Quick question why not??
I really dont understand why you think its impossible to put up big points against this D…They are very good and have the best corner in football but it is possible. Chad Henne led the Dolphins offense in his 2nd career start with Ted Ginn to put up 31 points against this D. Im sure it will be a very competitive game but Brady, Moss and Welker can do some damage
by afceast on Sep 16, 2010 3:19 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
that wasn’t this D necessarily, that was last year.
If Revis is 100% he can limit Moss. 9 catches/58 yds last year.
Welker we’ll likely play a lot of Zone and have guys like David Harris/Bart Scott/Eric Smith putting a body on him when he comes over the middle. Jam him at line of scrimmage with Wilson, disrupt his timing.
I guess nothing’s impossible, but remember this team was 2-6 on the road last year. Just have a hard time seeing them finding the end zone 5 times against this defense, homer or not.

and besides, that as an aberration.
I would be surprised if the Pats put more then 20 up. I wouldn’t be surprised it they put less then 14 up. Our defense was on the field for 2/3 of the football game on Monday night, against an offense with Ray Rice, Anquan Boldin, Derek Mason, TJ Housmandzadeh, Todd Heap, and Willis McGahee, with a good QB in Joe Flacco, and they still only managed to put 10 points on us.
I also am not convinced the Pats have a better offense than the Ravens do. The Ravens have a much better running game, and possibly an equally good passing game, with those 3 wideouts, plus Rice is basically a 4th receiver, and Todd Heap. I am concerned with the offense, but in my opinion, our defense is incredible, there isn’t an offense that really worries me besides the Colts, and that is only because of Peyton Manning. I also think there is a chance that Baltimore is the best football team in the NFL, and I think there is a chance that we are the best team in the NFL also. It’s one annoying game, but maybe it’s a wake up call, and if we can finish strong, this game won’t matter.
Pats did 31 last year...
…with Moss (shut down by Revis), Welker and…? Yeah. No one. This year, they have Moss, Welker, Brandon Tate, two Tight Ends and possibly Julian Edelman. The offense has definitely upgraded over last year’s that put up 31.
The problem with the Ravens offense is that it relies on the running game to set up the pass. Ray Rice is their biggest offensive weapon and the Jets eliminated him. But eliminating a running back (ie: the running game) who sets up the receiving game will affect an offense much more than taking away a #1 receiver on a passing offense with so many other receiving options.
Ravens: Take away Rice and one facet of their offense is gone.
Patriots: Take away Moss and Welker/Edelman/Tate/Gronkowski/Hernandez/etc will still be available. Patriots don’t really have a running game to be taken away.

To be fair, the Pats scored 9 in the other game.
The guys you mentioned aside from Moss and Welker have under 45 career catches combined. There’s great potential with a lot of those guys, but let’s not go overboard.
The bigger issue is that Florio is saying it’s going to happen. It’s one thing to say it could happen. Florio’s telling us it will. I agree 100% that it could, but that’s not what he’s saying.

Florio's an idiot, I think we can all agree with that...
…and using the other game, where it was Brady’s 2nd game in over a year, Wes Welker was out and the leading receiver was in his first game at wide receiver…ever (used to be a quarterback)? I mean, 9’s understandable. I still think my “first to 25” is a good rule of thumb for this game.
No way the Jets don’t score a touchdown. Also, no way the Jets hold the Patriots to single digits.

Do you really think Welker can be stopped?
has he been yet?
and by the Jets, with a Rookie, dont say cause he is coming off an injury he can be.
and the Pats played there 2 weeks ago “dee dee dee”
by Patsfan4life on Sep 18, 2010 10:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Scored 31 last year?
And now they have MORE offensive weapons, playing a rusty Revis, an inexperienced Wilson, a penalty-happy Cromartie, a defensive line missing Jenkins and no Calvin Pace? I like those chances even more than last year.
I still think Florio is an idiot, but there’s reason to believe the Patriots can do that. I don’t think they will (I think it’ll be a 10 point game, first team to 25 wins), but it’s definitely plausible.
Yeah,
now we have a couple of real NFL CB’s to go along with Revis. It isn’t Drew Coleman and Dwight Lowery. I like the New England team, but Baltimores offense is better then you give it credit for. Their receiving options this year stack up with the Pats. Sure, Welker and Moss >>> Boldin and Mason, but you have to account for Houshmandzadeh, Ray Rice and Todd Heap. They also have a superior running game to the Pats, and a more mobile QB. Flacco was able to make a few plays by creating enough time for himself outside the pocket to find Boldin. Interesting to see if Brady can do the same thing. I don’t think he can. This game will probably be simple. If the Pats line picks up blitzes, the Jets are going to have a long day. If we continue to get pressure on Brady, you guys will struggle to sustain offense.
