PENALTIES - bad bad bad

Disappointed.

 

Yea he is a really dumb coach holding this team back. I mean our secondary is still looking like shit despite the talent. Ever hear of guys being coached up? I'm convinced Bowles coaches down. Nobody would ever know this fool actually played secondary in his life.

Undisciplined and unprepared have been a hallmark of this team in the Bowles era. As is getting outcoached and outschemed. Why would it change now? It won't

Week 1 in Detroit 10 penalties coming up easy. Plus it doesn't help that the league always seems to target us for the cheapest BS calls unlike New England who get away with offensive holding and pick plays 30 times a game

 

Well, it's a preseason game, but I thought the Jets by virtue of last season's play was over the dumb sh#t penalties phase, but maybe not. You are 100% right about it being on the coaches.

 

I miss Mike Westhoff ..

 

Special teams was atrocious. Penalties were atrocious. The dline actually looked decent and secondary looked mediocre. They have tons of cleaning up to do.

 

I wasn't able to see the game...did my best in monitoring NFL.com, which wasn't very informative. I also read the comments here during the game, but again, that's just "Stream of consciousness" with no context. Anyone care to summarize what happened? near as I can tell, Sam did pretty well despite the game plan/play calling and some bad drops. Also, our "vaunted" defense seems to be in mid-season form, allowing easy passes and getting no pass rush. And our ST seems to have picked up where they left off - in a death spiral to the septic tank. Finally, Bowles and his CS are delivering the "consistency" so many praise, but which consistently produces poor results.

Did I get the essence of things? If so, let me go on record now as saying I want them to fire Bowles and his CS now, because if this continues, there really sin't anything to lose and much to be gained, as in preparing for 2019 ASAP.

 

That's about right. Unfortunately, it's not like the "it's only preseason" argument really matters here, since what we're seeing is what we've been seeing for years: weak OL play, no pass rush, abysmal special teams, far too many penalties on the negative side, decent run defense and red zone defense on the positive side. There's no reason to think that anything has changed in a meaningful way. Darnold looked good, but so did McCown last year, so what reason is there to think that this team is going to be much (or any?) better than last year's team?

 

If it weren't for Darnold, I would be really depressed.

 

Don't worry Uncle Todd will have them running some laps and doing some more pushups and this will get cleared up in no time. " Penalties happen its not the end of the world " LOL can't wait for this guy to be gone , ugh another wasted year with him

 

Yeah, the Special Teams and the penalties were beyond disappointing tonight. Can't say "It's just Pre-Season" either. Clearly the team lacks discipline. Too many examples to name, and that is just from this game alone.

 

The Giants played damn near perfect right? Or was it the zebras only had one team under the magnifying glass? First drive the rook marches downfield for a TD... then our special teams unit...look like they have for the last three years!!! (We need a new teams coach...) after that flag city. The Giants are still shit and we will still have a better record than them as usual.

 

Oy vey, penalties and ST were definitely the biggest disappointments. We knew the Oline was sketchy and the pass rush non-existent, but this? It could be a loooong season.

 

In the last 22 years each team has had the better record 11 times, and in the 10 years before that the Giants were overwhelmingly better than the Jets, so I'm not sure how usual it is for the Jets to have a better record. And the Giants had 6 penalties, so they were far from perfect - it's just that the Jets were awful (13 penalties). I expect that the two teams will have similar seasons, winning something like 5 to 7 games. The difference is that the Jets will be doing it with a rookie QB who will hopefully be getting better and better, while the Giants will be doing it with a 37-year old QB who will be getting worse.

 

I agree. The Jets will go nowhere as long as he is the coach. They looked awful and any QB that starts for them will suffer behind that horrible offensive line. They looked bad in all 3 phase of football and that is unacceptable in preseason and regular season. They are just not coached well at all.

 

Don't forget the monotone post game talking points that can put people into a coma.
