Not literally talking pump fakes, misdirection plays trick them so badly in the run game. They also over pursue everything, it's insane.
from 2014 to this year? yes 2014 6th overall 2015 4th overall 2016 19th overall Now i do expect us to climb up higher, but I don't think we'll match the 6th or 4th overall. I think we finish the season 8-10th For defense 2014 22nd 2015 10th 2016 10th I think we can hit around top 8 on offense as well. I'm surprised we are still top 10 after the disaster against the chiefs
I still have hope for the season, but to say the defense was dominant is incorrect. Defense cut shredded by slants and crossing routes. Kelce owned us; after he caught the ball ( which was often ) was impossible to bring down. Seemed to be a man amongst boys. Once the Chiefs were up 14, their offense became more conservative in 2nd half. Chiefs' offense didn't need to take any risks.
again.... dont confuse being old with being "win now" i agree alot of our best players and highest paid players are older. but that just makes us old. being win-now also means that those older/best guys are good enough to win. which in our case, is not true. we have a bottom 10 qb. that wont cut it unless youre flawless everywhere else. we are not. it wont cut it without a great coach. we do not have one. this isnt a win now team, its a team in transition/rebuild.
Disagree. Last year you could say that. New coach, new QB, some new players, etc. However, in the NFL, with free agency, you can't be in rebuild mode forever. Now Bowles is coming off a 10-6 year. Granted that Fitzgerald is far from the best QBs in the league, but this is the guy that Bowles said he wanted back to lead the team. Yes, there were a few FA and retirement loses, but those were minimal compared to other team's loses. Bowles has most of the key players from last year returning, especially on defense. The difficulty of the schedule can't be an issue. Minimum expectation this season is a playoff berth, anything less is a failed season.
My basic contention is that, as far as head coaches are concerned, in today's NFL, all teams are "win-now" teams. But, don't worry, with the way this team is going, Bowles won't have to worry about that for much longer.
last years was fools gold but no one wanted to listed. we werent a good team last year. we were a 7-8 win team that had an inflated win total due to a cupcake schedule and facing alot of teams with qb injuries or bad qbs. last years team was never very good. it was a below average team that got a ton of luck (schedule, injured opposing qbs, alot of potential fitz interceptions were dropped, we stayed healthy, etc) we are the same 7 win type team we were last year, only isntead of an easy schedule and no injuries we have a tough schedule and some injuries. so instead of 10-6 its probably 6-10 or 5-11
Well, if the sky wasn't falling last weekend, then it certainly is now. This is called dire straits what the Jets are in right now. I personally believe this team has already missed out on the playoffs, but if this losing streak continues then I can see much more bad things happening like the CS gets their walking papers and rebuilding is mentioned again.............
This! Losing to Pittsburgh next weak would make us 1-4. They are currently tearing apart a Kansas City team that we couldn't move the ball against.
If we go 1-6 we should go into total tank mode so that in the offseason we can rebuild this offensive line and maybe get our hands on an outside passrusher. Unfortunately we are the jets and we will finish 7-9 and pick a corner in the first...
I think we should tank because as payback to the NFL because we totally got screwed by the schedule makers. I get the fact that almost all of these teams on the schedule are already picked, but what I don't get is we get these teams all back to back like this. We have the hardest first 7 weeks in the league and going 1-6, 2-5 basically takes the wind out of a teams sails, it doesn't matter if they've got cupcake teams to play afterwards. Mail the season in like the Colts do whenever they need a new QB and go from there.
don't worry - once we're at 1-6, Bowels will have lost the locker room and it's a free fall from there...
