It's simple. Bowles was good last week. This week he sucked. Let him coach the season, and if he's more Miami than Detroit then fire him. But if we fire him, we'll have a very important decision to make on Mac. Because if we let Mac hire a coach, we're also giving ourselves at least 2 more years of Mac. And the roster didn't look very good today either.
It's funny to because the media seems to think Bowles is a good coach.They don't destroy him like Jets fans do.We have enough talent on this roster to go 9-7 and anything under that is a complete failure to me
Bowles gonna have to do something about Skrine. If we don't start seeing his reps dwindle, that's going to be a huge indictment. It's pretty much his last year, why not give Nickerson reps. He had a decent showing last week didn't look lost.
We don’t have any gamebreaking players on either side of the ball. Unless Darnold turns into Aaron Rodgers by like week 5 I don’t think we do
Isn't breeland still available? Skrine has been very up and down where he was getting killed and then he'll have a few good games. Today he was a total liability. Idc if its Nickerson, or Breeland, someone needs to take over because I'm sick and tired of seeing Skrine get torched or draw an unnecessary penalty.
IMO, and i'm not on board with this but unless the jets go 4-12 or less, Jets will retain Bowles and Macc and allow them to coach/GM for their contract duration (this season, next season)
I was absolutely livid after the one penalty, Bowles kept him in the game, didn't even sit him down! Skrine loses games for this team, horrible holding penalties and misses tackles like no one's business. The guy is awful! Breeland is still available, but they drafted Nickerson for a reason.
No, the talent on this roster is bad. For instance, we only have one Pro Bowl on the team. Not Pro Bowler, Pro Bowl. Leo made one Pro Bowl and that's it. That's awful. Jet fans think our role players (Anderson, Lee, etc) are good but every team has players like that (plus legit stars which we don't). We just haven't heard of those players because we don't follow those teams.
And this is why Bowles isn't a good coach. Sure his players love him! Why wouldn't they? They can fuck up and still play.
We will have to monitor that situation, the defense played really well, but the players still lost this game due to not execution and turning the football over. That starts with the offense first and foremost. 1-1, we will have to see if this team bounces back. If Jarvis Landry is killing Skrine in the slot, Bowles has to make that adjustment. If he doesn't then he should warrant big time bashing.
Yes, of course, the players have to execute, but when they don't, what's the consequence? Whatever it is, it isn't enough because they keep screwing up. Herndon fails to get out of bounds to stop the clock, and he also drops a pass even I could've caught; Skrine - nothing more needs to be said; two consecutive false start penalties; the 3rd and 19 screw up; holding in the secondary negating sacks; and an offensive game plan that was, well, offensive. Of course next game it will be other players or plays, but the pattern is the same. How long do we have to "monitor" until we accept what we're seeing?
Herndon killed us today, but he's a rookie, these are ups and downs, and you have to hope he learns from it. The left side of the line has been horrible, Mac has to prioritize that in the draft and in FA. Bowles can't go out there and make Adams stay on assignment. Skrine should have been taking out of the game for NIckerson, to me that as the biggest issue I had with Bowles today. I also thought Bates called a good game, but the offense didn't get into rhythm until the end of the first half. Week 1 was a good outing for everyone, week 2 not so much. We will see what happens Thursday.
If anyone on this board believes Lewis is worse than Bowles, they need to have their posting privileges taken away.
WOW! Bates did NOT call a good game. It was predictable and slow to adjust, and didn't utilize Darnold's mobility. No, Bowles can't go out there and make Adams stay on assignment, but he COULD sit him for a couple of plays; he COULD'VE sat Herndon or Skrine. THAT'S what gets players attention. Telling them he was disappointed in them sure isn't getting their attention. Every week it's the same story, the details sometimes differ, but the outcome is the same: stupid mistakes. Why do you continue to excuse the role coaching has in that?
From the NY Post: Coaching The Jets coaches had no answers when things were not going their way. The offense could not figure out a way to get the running game going. The team made critical errors that reflect poorly on Todd Bowles and his staff. The Jets had two huge penalties on third down defensively, and how do they give up a third-and-19 in the fourth quarter? Grade: D 'Nuff said.
The talent has gotten better in my opinion.We are no longer lacking athletically at really any level except for pass rusher & depth is decent.I thought the jets had the superior talent today minus our OL vs their DL.But the dolphins had superior coaching,discipline & took advantage of the jets mistakes. The jets had far too many self inflicted wounds to go along w losing the field position battle..a common theme under this CS To your point the team is lacking a dynamic presence..one on each side of the ball & the OL clearly needs to be rebuilt.
Bates wasn't bad this week, but the offense did not execute, made a lot of mistakes. Dolphins knew Darnold could throw well on the run and the edge rushers tried collapsing the pocket around Darnold. They tried to limit that. Once, they got into rhythm, they were moving the ball all 2nd half. It was just sloppy execution. My only grip with Bates was he didn't run the ball enough. In terms of Herndon, Neil was already injured so not many options at TE. The O did not execute, and that's really the reason why they lost this game. Offensive line can't protect the QB either.
I didnt see too many egregious mistakes from Bowles this week. Clock management was fine, managed his time outs fine. Obviously he's no Belichick, but I didnt think he lost the Jets this game. He probably could have benched Skrine when he basically gave up an entire TD drive on his own. That was definitely a mistake. Nickerson certainly couldnt have done any worse. This game looked to me like it was lost on boneheaded execution by the players (Herndon/Skrine/Pryor)
And yet Nickerson finds himself on the bench. Bowles doing what he does best, ignoring young players and putting veterans in....this has been a consistent trend with him for his entire tenure here
