How did it matter on that call? He scores, clock stops and i dont think it was even was a called run. He gets stopped, game is over anyway.
Thats what pissed me off the most about it. If you knew we were going for it on 4th down, then run the fucking ball on 3rd down. We were picking up yards, and finding creases at that point. plus the 4th down play was shitty. that ball needs to be run for Holmes. He's the $50 million dollar man, he's the playmaker, how about we give him the fucking ball at some point this year? Why havent we run the slant to Holmes yet this year? It won us 2 games, and Holmes, other than the great grab in the endzone against Jax, has done nadda this year. 10 grabs in 3 games? If we want him to be the guy, lets get him the fucking ball.
you're telling me these coaches don't know the situations? You have to kick a fucking FG there. 7 points means jack shit.
That's because nobody on the team was prepared to play a sound game, not because they couldn't convert on 4th & 2. Was it a turning point? Probably, but that was after McFadden ripped off a 70-something yard TD run and the Jets couldn't punch it into the end zone on a theretofore very smooth drive. This was one of the sloppiest games I've seen the Jets play under the Rex regime.
I'm pissed and didn't realize which 4th and 2 you were talking about Mick. I don't disagree with going for it, I disagreed with the play call.
Not blaming them for the loss, at all, but they certainly didn't have a good game. Cro got called for being physical, and there were a few times we could have had a PI (last drive rings a bell) that were similar to what Cro got called on. Isn't the reason we lost, again, but it doesn't help.
One call was bullshit, the rest were not. We played like shit on defense, and Oakland's offensive coaching staff has more balls than ours.
We sucked, absolutely. If the game was called tight, though, the Raiders' defense got away with several hits to Sanchez's head.
I'm not disagreeing with you here, the D was awful, and so was the O line, BUT again, the game should have been called tighter, especially on their end.
Bingo. You run the ball twice if you are going for it on 4th anyway. We keep hearing ground and pound but since 2009 that is FAR from the case.
2010 showed ground and pound, with more of a balance given to your 2nd year QB. This year the Jets can't go ground and pound, because the fucking OL won't let it happen. When they do block, Greene is trampling defenders. When they don't, he's fighting his ass off to get back to the LOS.
