Quote:It's nice to have the respect of other teams fans. Honestly, the only ones who took us lightly (as an overall fan base) was ironically the Browns.


People know this team is on the verge. We aren't regressing like the Bucs or Jets

 

If what I have been reading the last few weeks represents opinions of the overall fan bases, Dolphins fans took us more lightly than anyone else.

 

Quote:C'mon, Raven. Cut her some slack.

 

I enjoy these threads as I don't have the patience nor the desire to go rooting around the Internet for an outsider's take on our squad. The fact that she puts these here makes it easy to gauge what fans of our opponents are saying.

 

Keep doing what you do, JW. I personally appreciate it.

 

I assume you are not the only one because Raven is the first to criticize my idea for a weekly thread. It is fun to read comments about the Jaguars that show some fans of other teams know something good instead of all trash talk. I just hope the "Robinson brothers" comment was not an assumption Allen and Denard are related.

 

Quote:Being called a "TRAP GAME" is not actually a compliment.

 

It means if the Bengals think they can sleepwalk over us, we will win.

 

Quote:Everybody is worried about "playing down to the level of competition".... That doesn't really make sense to me.  Maybe your team just isn't that good.

 

We used to do this in the JDR era - beat some good teams like the Steelers and lost to lousy opponents such as Oakland. It gave us a reputation of "playing down to the competition."

 

Quote:Bortles just can't seem to read defenses that well..not surprising since he played at a middle tier school. One day it will click, here's hoping it clicks week.

 

Nonsense. Ben Roethlisberger went to Miami University, which is in the MAC. That's what I call a middle tier school, not a team that played at the Fiesta Bowl last season.

 

Also, about half of the interceptions were not Blake's fault. Sometimes he did everything right, but the receiver screwed up.
