Hey you never know, I know it won't happen mainly because we're stuck with Schotty but I love the idea. Honor? Bill left the Jets after 1 day, where is the honor in that?
Rex stays away from the offense as much as he can....the offense is literally Schotty's baby to look after. I'm sure Rex gives his input when required (i'm sure that will happen this week)...but for the most part, he sticks with the defense. I wouldn't expect you to know that though.
Are you trying to argue he isn't responsible for what happens on the offensive side? Just because he made the decision to have a minimal input doesn't mean he washes his hands of responsibility. A head coach is in charge of offense, defense, and special teams. He made the decision to let Shotty have complete control of the offense, so he still needs to be held accountable when Shotty does a terrible job. Secondly, doesn't that concern you at all that Rex does so little? Didn't you basically just admit that he is nothing more then a glorified defensive coordinator?
gee thanks, genius....I had no idea that a head coach was responsible for the offense too....man, where the fuck was I on that one any other brilliant revelations you want to share with us?
Bah. Analysis in a vacuum. Here's the story of the game: First series: Patriots march down into Jets territory, stall, and kick a manageable field goal. Second series: Jets march down into Patriots territory with a good mix of run and pass, stall out, and kick an iffy field goal on a windy night. Miss, and surrender field position. Third series: Patriots run a handful of plays, and then get set up on the one-yardline with a penalty in the end zone. They score. We're down ten points. Fourth series: We take a delay of game penalty, get forced into a passing downs, and go three-and-out. Weatherford punts the fucking ball backwards, again surrendering field position. Fifth series: Patriots score in a handful of plays. Three Patriots' possessions - 17 points. Two Jets' possession, a handful of mistakes - 0 points. From there, whatever game plan they originally installed is out the door. I don't even know, and I'm not going to watch again to find out, but I'm guessing NE dropped its safeties back five yards to protect against any big play downfield, and gave us everything underneath to do exactly what you're saying we should have done - slow things down on our side of the ball, and eat up clock. So, we run the ball, throw a couple short passes, have a little success, answer 17 points with a field goal - and then get gashed again for another touchdown. We're now behind 21 points, and we're going to slow down the game on offense? That'd be a great strategy BEFORE we were down three scores. Not to mention, with hindsight we know that they had three more scores in them. The story of this game was defense. We allowed them a 17-point head start by giving two back-to-back possessions with great starting field position.
YPC means absolutely nothing in a game where you were beaten 45-3. Once you fall behind you HAVE to pass in order to get back in the game. Otherwise, time runs out. They were not playing to lose 34-17. On the Jets first drive Tomlinson had the one run for 14 and one for 4. No other rush was more than 3 yards. On the second drive, already trailing 10-0, Shonn Greene runs for 4 yds on first down and then we get a delay of game penalty for 2nd and 9. Have to pass. Trailing 17-0 we run the ball pretty successfully down to the 21. On 3rd and 3 is the incomplete pass to Edwards so we kick the FG. Pats score easily again after we kick off and it's 24-3. We get penalized on the kickoff and start at the 12. Shonn green gains 4 yds. on 1st down and loses 4 on 2nd down. Incomplete pass and it's a 3 and out kicking from our endzone. Next time we get the ball is on our 17 with a minute left in the half. Should we have run more there? First possession 2nd half we drive all the way to their 11. Tomlinson gains 2 yards on first down. Sanchez intercepted on 2nd and 8. Should we have run 3 straight times from the 11 trailing 24-3? Patriots score easily again and now it 31-3. You know what that means. It's ground and pound time!!!
Well I coulnt' help but notice how you and others never seem to blame him for the horrible offensive coaching. It's always on Shotty. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve some blame, it's just that you guys are never willing to point the finger at Rex. Maybe if Shotty learned how to be a media darling, cracked more jokes at press conferences, and put on 80 pounds you guys would blame someone else.
I didn't know I had to check with you in regards to who I think deserves the blame for this game.....my bad.....I should've known better. I'm probably gonna have macaroni and cheese for lunch.....is that okay with you too?
interesting subject Blame the Big Tuna for that. The head coaching job for BB in NY was highly conditional. Belichick wasn't interested in having the strings pulled from behind the stage if he took the Jets gig. Up here in NE we knew what Parcells was all about (himself) He ran out on the Patriots in a bad way. (instead of properly preparing the Pats for the SB he was working on his new contract with the Jets.) He hamstrung the Pats with all kinds of salary cap problems in his last year & signed Curtis Martin to a contract that he knew the Pats couldn't afford. Just ask CM today.. "He loves Bob Kraft like a father" Kraft gave up plenty as well to get BB. Ultimately Parcells left the Jets anyway. With cap problems I imagine as well. Last week Kraft said "the MNF game with the Jets was the most important regular season game in the Patriots franchise history." Meaning, Kraft still holds a grudge against the Jets organisation for the backdoor shit with Parcells during the playoff run and SB. BTW... If it wasn't for Parcells wanting control over BB dicissions as head coach. He would have stayed in NY. The Jets would have BB, Tom Brady and the rings. Being in NY they'd be considered as "Americas Team" as well.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, he will pass up the chance to earn a living because of Bellicheat. :breakdance:
Look man, you can't run on the Patriots at Foxboro, no one can, the Pats are really stoudt against the run at home, don't blame that, Rex wasn't going to run on this defense.
1. Couldnt put pressure/hit/sack Brady 2. Sanchez had one of his worst games, not only the Interceptions but alot of the completions were bad passes. 3. Special Teams was awful, missed FG, no return yards on punts or Kick Returns. 4. Couldnt defend Pats WRs. 5. BJGE & Woodhead were able to run enough to be successfull.
