I chose revis but really I put it on the coaching staff for not letting revis play press coverage and underneath Watkins with Ghilchrist over the top
Of these three, Quigley. Watching Revis get abused by Watkins was brutal, but he should have been double teamed. The Buffalo offense was absolute crap outside of Watkins. Everyone watching knew that, and we did nothing to take advantage of it.
I can't really choose any of them. Everyone played a part. We had moments all game where we could have won and some player fucked it up. Quigley on his punts Revis couldn't stop Watkins Fitz The entire defense couldn't get off the field on 3rd down Bowles for coaching like a pussy before the half Enunwa dropping a screen that woulda most likely been a touchdown It all adds up to a big fat disappointing LOSS
Revis and it's not even close. I feel like Revis [as the leader of our secondary] didn't look at any fucking tape of Watkins prior to the game. Was it Revis's pride that didn't allow the changes to happen? Bowles and Kacy Rodgers just not having a game-plan all together? Hall of fame players don't let players do that to them, especially while they are in their prime. Revis needs to take a pay-cut.
The Jets Defense was hideous, Bullock with the missed fg, sure it was windy but this is a huge game. All those idiotic penalties 15 yard flag on Leonard Williams that handed the Bills a touchdown. It was such an important game and we witnessed a complete team meltdown. Just pathetic.
Still don't know how Quigley held the punting job for so long when he's terrible at punting. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
The more I have thought about this game, the more I blame the coaching staff. Bowles came out with a poor game plan and failed to adjust at half time. Playing Revis off Watkins was stupid, it made us look terrified of him. We kept blitzing when it was clearly not working. On offense we used Ridley more than we needed. If Ivory was so hurt, why was he suited up to play? Also we used Ivory on some garbage time snaps at the end of the half so I don't think they were too afraid of using him. We gave up at the half by basically not using our last time out. People can argue about failed execution like Fitz's 3 interceptions, but I never thought they put themselves in a position to win. I really hope Bowles fixes these problems.
You know those screen passes were brutal. They also looked like they were something that was being done improv rather than a designed play. I don't know how much they practiced it but that should have been the call of the day and as such worked on until it was damn near perfect. The Rex Ryan defense doesn't account for TE's or RB's and that would allowed us to abuse them all day.
100% agree with this. I felt that we should have had somebody else to help shoulder the workload of running if Ivory was that banged up. Most important game of the year and you don't play the guy because he needed a "rest". You are without Powell as well? It's gut check time and you have to get on the field Ivory. If you absolutely can't then the bottom of the roster needs to be churned; lord knows we have plenty of floatsam.
I used to play fullback in high school, but the position is basically dead. We should keep 4 half backs rostered instead of keeping Bohanon. If the position wants to keep itself relevant, fullbacks should be able to play half back in a pinch. It seems like only a handful of fullbacks in the league can effectively do that.
That's what I thought at the beginning of camp, Bohannon has no use to us. He has zero burst or tackle breaking ability so can't be used in short yardage situations, doesn't block especially well, has kinda garbage(y) hands and is slower than dirt. Our best blocking back is Ivory and he can't block for himself. All that said, I don't hate Bohannon and actively root for him to do something in his snaps. Still, the guy has no point on this roster.
Quigley hands down no question. The guy is pure unadulterated dog shit and is responsible for their second TD. Its completely mind numbing that this no talent loser has lasted for years on the roster despite a regime change and the fact that he has exactly zero good performances and multiple terrible ones to his name. Easily the worst punter through multiple games I have ever seen on any team. Fat Randy can fuck himself too, if he makes the first chip shot its a completely different game. Revis sucked and looked like he didnt want to be there towards the end but the defensive gameplan put him in the worst position to succeed. Fitz is easy to blame because of the statline and timing of the picks but of the three mentioned I think hes the least responsible. While he certainly put on one of his worst performances this year its easy to forget the the O-line got him killed all game (2nd pick was 90% on Brick) and he had arguably 3/4 dropped TD's, with even more dropped first downs. From top to bottom we were just depressing to watch.
All of the Jets players yesterday were handicapped by the teams' lack of preparation for the weather conditions. The entire team looked like they did not want to be out there on the field. Sadly, they were not playing the game to win.
Easy answer could be Revis but ultimately the decision to not double Watkins or give Revis help was more to blame than Revis himself.
huh? I guess we have a WAY different perspective on that game. Watching that game on sunday it was clear to me that Revis & the staff DID do their homework on Watkins & Buffalo. Its all about Tyrod Taylor mostly though, who deserves credit. Here's why: I watch Buffalo a lot living close to the area. In the games all year where they won- Watkins got deep for at least 1 big play. A deep ball thrown in the air where Watkins torches his man and Taylor lofted it up to him. In the games that they lost, teams' stuffed the run and kept everything to Watkins in front of them. See all season Taylor could only throw short passes and the deep ball to Watkins. They had virtually NO intermediate passing game all season. Not because Watkins can't get open in that range but because Taylor couldn't hit him with those passes. The Jets saw 15 games of this on film, enough to know that Watkins is a great talent but if you don't let him beat you deep you will be okay because the QB can't consistently deliver it to him anywhere else. The Jets stuffed the run, Revis played off Watkins to ensure he wasn't beat deep. Setting Buffalo up in many 3rd and longs where they would have to look for Watkins in the intermediate passing game. In essence exactly where the Jets wanted them to play and where most teams beat Buffalo all year. The difference is that Taylor played great. For once all year he was hitting those intermediate passes. Gotta give credit to Watkins and Taylor mostly for executing. on the other side of the field the QB was missing a lot on his passes. Fitzpatrick didn't execute.
I'm not buying this "Revis was doing what the coaches told him to do" crap. He is Darrelle fucking REVIS. He isn't capable of "calling an audible" on his own coverage? Are you telling me the premier cornerback in the league has no say in his coverage?
