Brett Favre Traded to the New York Jets

Of course he will help the jets the jets went out and spent 140 million dollars on a new O-Line thats above average they got jekins from Carolina they allready have Lavernaus Coles and Jerico Cothery for widerecivers and they got one of favres favorite target bubba franks and also we drafted Dustin Keller whos like a widerecviver in a Tight Ends body so lets see we have offensive targets we have an O-Line that will give favre all the time in the world to throw and thats just our offense i mean the defensive we have jekins on the d line and dwyane robertson and we have a shut down corner in Darrell Revis and wait one of the BEST safties in the game Kerry Rhoads look him up if you dont know him he is a stud so why wont the jet succed with all thoes weapons and with an o-line that has allan faneca and nick mangold and Dbrickashaw Fegruison and with brett favre behind thoes guys tell me a reason we wont succed fuck you guys and hy Patriots see you guys week 2!

I'm starting to feel like a kid at Christmas. I'm counting down the sleeps 'til Madden '09 gets here, lol. I work nights (actually I'm at work right now) so I only have 4 more sleeps to go. Some people take a Madden holiday, call in sick the day it's released, but I'm taking a Madden vacation. I've got next week booked off as I figure I'll need the time because I'm getting the collectors edition and I'm as excited for Head Coach '09 as I am Madden. Only bummer is that there is no place around me that is having a midnight launch party (I live East coast Canada, and as far as I'm aware neither Futureshop or Electronics Boutique are doing this). Madden launch, NFL in full pre-season, and Fantasy Football, what a great time of year :)

Will Adam jones be on the roster update?

What a stupid picture...its an animation and it doesnt even look like Brett...he's not even gripping the ball...why would someone want to print this off just to put in their Madden 09 case?

why do people think the jets are such a bad team people act like the jets have never made the playoffs we picked up a lot of players this year so even without favre we were a contender

EA to release printable cover of Favre on the Jets on EA sports.com in next few days to print out and put over the original cover

Thanks, this will really help alot of us starting these leagues. I know a ton of people are interested in this. I really hope the on-line leagues are done well.

Online leagues...should have a writeup and screens from that late tonight or by tomorrow morning.

You mean a Bills team that won 7 games despite having the largest I.R. in the entire NFL last year? You mean the team that has a 2nd year QB and 2nd year RB who are continuing to gel on a daily basis? You mean the team that added a legit big target WR in James Hardy? You mean the team that will finally have a healthy MLB (who as a rookie was leading the NFL in tackles when he broke his arm) and a top flight CB/return man in McKelvin?

That team?

I doubt the Jets are superior to THAT team.[/quote]

haha...name a player on the IR that would be a legit starter on a playoff caliber team...go ahead...i'm waiting...haha...this team is in trouble...and in large part was playing off the emotion felt from losing a reserve te in the first game to a serious spinal injury...the schedule is a bit tougher this year...the bills will be lucky to win five games...legit WR hardy...i'm trying to contain my laughter...haha...besides that...are you trying to say that you found a qb in the offseason that could even get your WR the ball? that being said, lynch could be a quality rb, though a lot of solid rbs have a sophomore slump after a big first year...but i know a lot of teams with even better runningbacks who fail to make the playoffs year in and year out (KC, STL, PHI, SF, ARI)...

Hey Pasta I have a few questions for you regarding On-Line Leagues? ( If you have this info)

1. If you have a full 32 team league how many make the playoffs? (Or is it optional)

2. Is there stat tracking? (Team, Individual)

3. Does the computer generate the schedule or the commisioner?

4. I know the schedule is "flex", but does it come out in Week format (Week 1, Week 2, etc) so if you want your league to be 1 game a week it can be.

Thanks for any of these you can answer. I am having a real hard time finding answers to these, and I know you are very knowleadgable about Madden 09. Cheers

i could SEE* a promo...

EA could definitely run with this...

the timing of the online league set up... goes hand in hand with this...

i could a promo about the online draft set up...

asking a player...

"wish you had that missing puzzle piece of your favorite... hope to land a future hall of fame QB like the jets? then try the online league with your friends and land that gem..."

something to that effect...

they should certainly play this up...

I love how the Event Staff dude is mesmorized by the Jets logo.

Hey Pasta, I got a more accurate cover here:

""We do not plan to re-issue packaging, but WILL offer a free downloadable cover in the coming days on easports.com featuring Brett Favre in a Jets uniform. Fans can print this new cover out and insert it into the case of Madden NFL 09," a company spokesperson revealed to MTV. "

hardy has so far done nothin in the nfl he cant even beat out the underproducing josh reed

apparently the fins r interested in pennington if they sign him that could mean beck or mccown given the boot

Could someone please make a good Jets custom cover? Preferably, with Brett in the same position that he is in on the original cover, with a different uniform? Thanks!

When was the last time the Jets beat the Bills? It's been a few years kids. It'll take more than Favre. They should sign Al Toon while they're at it. And bring back Gastoneau too. Haaaa, Jets fans! How's Gholston comin' around??? Not good from what I've read...

EA WONT MAKE NEW COVERS

They're L A Z Y

Ted Thompson can so *^*^* himself. The worst thing to happen to the Packers. He has single handedly soiled the Packers legacy of being a classy, no nonesence organization.... forcing Brett out....being unwilling to trade him somewhere to his liking...not releasing him...trying to bribe him to stay retired(I have no idea why the players union is not doing anything about that)...feeding the media bullshit... TT repulses me... I love my Pack, but it will be bittersweet watching them until he is gone!

[quote comment="31124"]damn being a bills fan this sucks we have to play farve 2 games out of the season even though well still prolly sweep him this year.....[/quote]

why does it suck!?! this means more interceptions for your lacjluster secondary

THANK GOD FAVRE IS NOT A BUCCANEER

Steamontheboat... do your research before you start talking trash.
A. The Packers have not always been a pass first team. The entire time Mike Sherman was there, they were a first team(which annoyed the sh#t out of me since they couldn't run well...or Green would fumble) this all actually attributed to his int's ... because they were so shitty running the ball and playing from behind...Favre would have to carry the team and sometimes force a throw. I also have watched every Packer game for the last 5 years and can say without a doubt that 75 percent of his picks in that time were blown routes by his receivers.(The only permanent fixture we've had is Driver. Everyone else was a plugin)...and this is not to say that those 25 weren't bonehead throwss...cause some of them were...but when you're throwing 25-35 time in the second half of a game when your down, because your coach suck a@@... you're gonna throw some ducks.

BTW...his int to pass attempt ratio is right on par with the Elways, Unitas', Bradshaws, Aikmens'... he only has more ints because he has more passes...he is no more of a pick specialist than any other QB in Football...

The one thing people forget is that Favre has the "X" factor. He knows how to win and he plays with passion. These are two things that will impact the Jets' locker room.

I remember when Montana went to the Chiefs (although under totally different circumstances) everyone said the same thing. "Joe won't make a difference, he is past his prime.", etc....Although the Chiefs never made the Super Bowl, Montana definitely made a huge difference and the Chiefs were contenders.

Favre will help the Jets although I agree that the AFC is loaded. In my opinion, the Pack made a mistake and they proved that they felt he could still play by not allowing his outright release fearing he would sign with Minnesota. If the Packers' front office felt that Favre's good days were behind him they would have let him go.

Also, does sdot have a job??? If you're not first, who cares????

i fail to see how anyone outside of buffalo honestly believes that the bills are a good team...they had a grand total of one win versus a winning team last year...and were 2-9 against teams who won more than 5 games last season...hate to break the news to you...that's not good...and being that they haven't exactly added great talent to the team this off-season...i am dumbfounded as to how anyone could possibly think that they could repeat that performance of 7 wins a year ago...i'm not claiming that the jets are super bowl bound or any nonsense like that...but clearly with brett favre (not to mention the addition of two pro-bowlers on the o-line) this team is superior to the bills...to say the least...

I can't wait to play the Jets online as they should be a "trendy" type team to use. IMO, skill positions like WR and RB do more damage in videogame football unless the QB is fast (which last time I checked, Favre was not) and my BUFFALO BILLS WILL CONTINUE TO SWEEP 'EM IN REAL LIFE AND ON THE VIRTUAL FIELD BABY!!!!!

New England 14-2
Buffalo Bills 10-6
N.Y. Jets 7-9 (before 8/6......5-11)
Miami 3-13

Favre will always be a Packer to me. This whole situation sucked and I'm glad it's finally over. It will be interesting playing the Jets in madden with my beloved Packers.

Bret is defiantly and upgrade from what the Jets had in general. I pretty sure they will design new plays around Bret but having him get comfortable with the offensive players is still going to take time. They will have a better record than last year but then again that’s not saying much.

i think this helps a lot but we will probably finish the season 10-6 if not then 11-5 no beter than that we can maybe beat the patriots once next season and pasta will the roster update be avalable first day.... i cant wait to play with favre and my jets

Favre drops back to pass, hes looking left for Coles but wait....What is this? His knee ,it has deteriorated into dust right there on the field. His age has finally caught up to him here in the forth quarter. But wait he is crawling around behind the line and he has just thrown an underhand granny pass to Thomas Jones who has broken a tackle and scored a touchdown. The Jets win! Wow, Brett is just like a kid out there playing ball like it was the schoolyard and he was buried up to his knees in sand.

Postgame coming up!

Barf...Go Bills!

pennington will be released at 4 PM today i think he has 2 choices minnesota or kansas city i would say chicago but apparently they want chris simms i heard they loved him comin out of texas

The Jets are still only the third best team in their own DIVISION! With or without Favre.

1. Pats
2. Bills
3. Jets
4. Dolphins.

Great, the Jets play the Rams this year. Here I thought it would be an easy win....

Fellow Jets fans today is a day to celebrate baby!! Im so pumped I cant wait for Madden and the regular season to begin with Brett Favre baby YEA!!!!

haha...the jets aren't the bad of a team...they certainly aren't super bowl contenders and may not even when their division, though says more about the patriots than it does the jets...that being said...THE PACKERS OVER-ACHIEVED LAST YEAR...i fail to see how anyone else has not mentioned that...that is a major factor in the reason why we are here at this junction in the first place...brett favre knew it...the green bay brass knew it...and that combined with the fact that the packers need to know what they have in rodgers before they commit too him with a long-term contract or risk losing him in free agency, the packers wanted to see brett go...and in a way, brett knew that coming back the team would probably not be as good as they were the previous year...are the jets a better team? maybe or maybe not...they certainly have some very good players already on the roster and they definitely have a weaker schedule (other than the aforementioned patriots twice a year)...but for the most part...if the packers have brett favre, the fans are expecting a super bowl...if the jets have favre, fans are expected a playoff run...and i am pretty sure that the jets have discussed with brett the possibility of sticking around for 2-3 years already or they wouldn't even have made this move...bottom line is any team that wasn't in complete re-building mode has a chance to successful this year with brett around...and the ny fans will adore brett and he knows it...the guy just wants to be wanted and be successful...is that too much to ask?

[quote comment="31161"]i think that he will without a doubt help the jets however i still dont think they can make a super bowl run right now i think chad pennington will end up in kansas city though[/quote]

i would love for chad pennington to end up in KC...pennington has gotten bashed so much in his career and he has merely been one of the most accurate qb in the leagues every year he has played...and he has been money in the red zone (i think his first career turnover in the red zone happened last year)...as a chiefs fan give me pennington any day of the week...

Favre will make the Jets a better madden team then they were before. As far as contending in the AFC? Since the playoffs are single elimination you never know what is going to happen but I can't see them reaching the Superbowl. I do think they will make the playoffs though.

the Jets have many holes still and there will be too much pressure on him with a mediocre offense. My prediction is 7-9 at best. They will continue to get swept by the Bills and Pats and the rest of the AFC is waaaaay too tough. Good move by NY but optimism will meet realism soon J-E-T-S fans.

I hope he throws 30 INT and 14 TD. I can't stand this guy.
