Accountability is doing your job, not telling other people to do theirs. If you're a coach and you think calling someone out (which Bowles may be doing for all we know) will make him more accountable, then you do that. But it doesn't always work that way.
Lmao You're incorrect When you don't do your job, your boss NEEDS to be up your ass and hold you Accountable Sorry millennial kumbaya
The Jets players are grown men. They know what they need to do. If you have a reason to tell them something, you tell them. If you don't, you don't spout off.
Pack plenty of neutral color clothing and tons of beer money. Your gonna wanna blend in and drink heavily for those games.
Every NFL team is grown men and have been. They've still needed HCs to kick their asses and hold them accountable. Richie Kotite and others who were equally ineffective thought they could trust the "men" in their locker room to do their jobs. We all saw how the players didn't do their jobs. Players are people. Not all people are motivated to do their best. Neither are all players. Some don't even love the game, they're just playing because it's something they're good at and a way to make a lot of money in a short period of time. Even those who do like the game don't always give 100% on the field or they let outside activities affect their play. Even when players do try hard, they may not have the mental toughness or sheer determination to win no matter what. Some will bust their ass up to a point, but beyond that, they won't without an authority figure trying to inspire, motivate or kick their asses if they don't aspire to perfection.
Not a big believer in tanking but there's no reason to root for this team anymore. For the first time in my life I just want them to lose and pick the best QB.
You hold players accountable by actions, not by venting at them. Tell them what they need to do, and if they don't do it don't play them. At the same time, don't go jerking guys in and out of the lineup because of a couple bad games. And I don't think Bowles is like Kotite. Kotite let the players get away with pretty much anything. Bowles has ripped into the team and is known for being a disciplinarian in practice. I think a lot of people here get frustrated at Bowles because he doesn't publicly show his own frustration.
At this point I would prefer Kotite, at least I could laugh at the teams of his era as it happened. It was a more comical time. This lifeless Bowles team makes me want to begin cutting myself as it happens, horribly painful.
Baloney! You can't reason with every one. Some don't respond to anything but berating and yelling, if for no other reason than that's all they've ever known from their coaches. I'm not saying that's the way it should be, just that is the reality. Since they're adults, supposedly professional, and being paid very well to play, they should have all the motivation they need to be the best player they can, but that just isn't the real world.
Don't let Fitz off the hook. He has been awful. We should have won the Cincy game and the D did all right in KC. 6 INTs and 2 fumbles will undo a lot. A decent QB gets us those 2 games. Maybe yesterday, too.
Gio carmazzi was a second or third round pick... He looked like a hall of famer compared to hackenberg. And never played in an actual game. Hackenberg will never play a single down in the nfl. That performance from a second round pick ended his career. It goes down as the worse preseason game by a qb in nfl history. He will not progress into a starter. Look at timmy changs stats in the preseason... Colt brennan never heard of them? Way better than hackenberg.
I will be in Pitt too. I plan on drinking myself into a coma and falling asleep in rivers casino so I don't have to go in to see the destruction that awaits the Jets.
Bowles has screamed at his players when he felt he had to. Yet this board gets on him for not screaming. Which means they want him to scream more. And screaming to scream likely won't accomplish anything aside from letting out frustration. Which won't help us win.
