    2 of our highest paid best defensive players are on the wrong side of 30 in revis and cro

    our best offensive player, marshall is over 30

    our 2 best lineman are in their 30s

    those 5 guys are all older are all among our best player, and all make a ton of money. this is not a super young team skrine, carpenter, and gilchrist are not anchors of a team, them being young is pretty irrelevant.

    They dare Fitz to beat them and he couldn't plain and simple. The run game wasn't going to happen without ivory.

    That being said I agree with the decision to pass. If it's not working it's just not working. It's not like they abandoned it too early.

    Teams know Fitz can only throw short to medium routes....if that is what you want to build your offense around.....ok...that said if someone said we would be 2-1 after the first three game everyone of one of us would have taken it gladly.

    we had no choice but to pass once it got late. but it killed us we got nothing on the run. fitz is a game manager. if you put him in 2nd and 3rd and long its not going to be very successful. i didnt need us to run for 150 yards, but the 1 yard gains and losses did not help.

    better then building it around pick sixes with geno.

    we arent going to win with a passing offense no matter who is in. if our special teams give sup touchdowns, we cant rush the passer, and we turn it over we wont beat anyone

    It was still manageable in the second half and he still struggled. He's not a game manager and jets fans need to understand that about him. He does not play like a game manager hence his high int rate. If he's an NFL qb, he has to be able to play from any down and distance no excuses. If he's only good in Short downs he shouldn't be starting.

  10. The people blaming Fitz fall into 1 of 2 categories.

    1. They either don't really know football & follow the popular trend of blaming all misfortune on the QB regardless of circumstances

    2. They blame Fitz for not being a franchise QB..in other words..able to raise the level of play around him or put a team on his back on a day like today when the bounces aren't going in the team's favor.The Jets haven't had this..well you all know the history...

    I'm not a believer in fitz he never wow'd me in Buffalo and I think out offended in the first two weeks was a mirage. I think 4 or 5 or fitz scoring drives were on short fields of like 30 yards or less because of all the turnovers we caused.

    I think any QB in the league could win games when the D gives you that many opportunities but we will face games where the offence has to create its own field position and I don't think fitz can do that. I have 0 hope every time he throws a bomb, he has a noodle arm and we need someone who can sling it. I can't believe I'm saying this but I want to see smith out there....

    ... Unless Bryce is ready :)

    It just amazing how you people watch the NFL but don't have a clue how it is. Most NFL QB's takes at least 3 years to develop. Plus throw in the fact the Jets had no offensive weapons to talk about. If you people had a clue you would realize that.

    Yeah two INT's and missed wide open receivers all day long, those blaming the QB, you know the guy throwing the ball just don't know their football.
     
  15. 2 ints & a few missed passes=24-17 loss.

    Worst day EVER for a QB. I mean forget the 21 other positions on the field or that the running game was non-existent. Bravo for pointing out such deplorable play far beneath NFL quality. Now THAT'S football knowledge.

    Who you calling "you people"?

    We saw Fitz's ceiling in the first two games and today his limitations were exposed. I don't blame him for the loss as the whole team came out really flat and the Eagles played like a team desperate for a win. We're 2-1, so Fitz is still the starter IMO so long as he doesn't implode.

    Fits is not a franchise QB or a long term answer, and I think we will see Geno again if this keeps up. Geno probably isn't a long term answer either, but there is some potential there. Regardless, "people" are going to keep bitching about our QB play until the end of time.

    Yes Fitzpatrick has to take responsibility for the loss - not all of it as we were gashed by Sproles/Mathews - but a decent chunk. Underthrew Devin Smith and missed open WRs. He's also not protecting the football.

    This team is built to play with a lead

    The offensive playcalling was horrid in the first half. Enunwa didn't help..

    The non call on holding in the end zone (Marshall) in the second half was grotesque as well.
