Got the "Season Ticket" for the Wembley games, really cannot wait
Welcome to Jetsnation, will also be at Wembley
As for Brady the ban should have been longer, cheating runs through that franchise. Another tainted Superbowl to add to the others.
More importantly the Jets offseason has been superb in my eyes, Free Agency went better than expected. Getting Revis was massive as it also has the added benefit of weakening the Pats, but to get Cro and Skrine on top was brilliant, a revamped top class secondary to add to one of the best front sevens in the NFL, delighted. Offense wise we got Marshall and Stacy for a fifth round pick which is almost daylight robbery, Fitzpatrick is a great backup QB if Geno falters again.
On to the draft, which was probably our best for at least a decade, Williams falling to 6 was unexpected as he is probably the best player in the draft, we are never normally that lucky. Then Devin Smith in the second added a massive vertical threat, Geno has been given the tools now and if he can continue in the way we ended last season with Decker destroying the Dolphins then we will be fine. I was desperate for us to draft Petty and was watching live when we traded up to get him in the fourth, he'll be sitting for a year at least to transition from the Baylor spread system which is totally unlike the NFL but this guy has all the attributes and had cartoonish figures the last two years in college.
Overall the new GM has knocked it out the park and is a total breath of fresh air in an organisation that was like a circus for the last three years. Coach Bowles is obviously a lot more grounded than Rex and we will be running an offense that will suit our Quarterback not work against his skill set.
Ok we're not Superbowl contenders just yet, but we could make the play-offs this year. The AFC East might well be the best division this season, obviously the Pats are favourites but their defense is weakened, no question whilst Jets, Bills and Dolphins have all upgraded their rosters substantially. Could actually be a competitive division for the first time in a decade.
