not sure if its just an anomaly or not but this year the top 10 teams in pace of play on offense, aka the quickest to snap it between plays ALL missed the playoffs. Arizona was 4th quickest. Baltimore & New Orleans come in as the two slowest https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/pacestats/2019
Lots of people with "real lawyers" get sent to prison on one person's disputed testimony everyday. You would be shocked to see how bad judges often change jury minds by interrupting defense counsel testimony just as they start scoring points and asking rehabilitative questions to help the prosecution. Not to mention the attitudes in many rural areas is often that if the prosecutor brings a case the man is guilty and as a defense attorney all you can do is try to educate them as to law and try get them to do the right thing following the law because you will never change their mind as to the defendant not being guilty. The bottom line there is a large difference in the standard of justice one gets depending on the rural vs. urban setting. Now to your point about Wyatt's account attacking Gase I was not aware of that. I have mainly seen tweets like the ones contained in the below article. I would like to know the timeline of the posts. But, thank you. https://www.complex.com/sports/2019...hey-found-jets-coach-adam-gase-burner-account
After 177 pages...this thread finally delivers something of value. I used to work with her. She's something else...
I’m well aware that Manish is a dipshit with an agenda, but this article states statistical facts that are unarguable. We finished 6-2 because the defense was fantastic and we beat up on bad teams. The offense barely got better with Darnold against bad teams. Gase is a bad coach and his system is a failure unless it has Peyton Manning audibling out of every call. https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/...0200103-bpab4e4zwvci5d22s7yj5zywry-story.html
Did you realize that we averaged 223.5 yards and 12 points per game in the first half vs. 322.5 yards and 22.5 points per game in the second half? Or we'll just chalk that up to no improvement because it fits the Gase sucks argument as he couldn't move heaven and Earth to get the garbage running game going. As far as the defense is concerned. We played 6 teams in the bottom 10 of offense in the league in the last 8 games. Everyone likes to pretend like only the offense faced a weak schedule while the defense played a bunch of juggernauts. We played the Ravens and the defense got smoked. We played the Cowboys without both starting tackles and Amari Cooper. Outside of that we played a bunch of dog shit offenses.
LOL the Jimmy G trade was perhaps the only time in 20 years Bill got dictated to by Kraft and Brady, I’d hardly put that as a strike against him. Nor would I put Gase not trading Tannehill as some mark on his ledger when Tannehill got hurt in the middle of Gase’s tenure. Who was he going to trade him for, another cripple? He benched him for Osweiler in his last year there and likely would have let him walk anyway. And Gase may not have ‘control’ of the roster but he hired the GM so he’ll have a lot of say to be sure.
I chalk it up to three games of Luke Falk in the first half and an easier schedule in the second half.
Let's say we averaged 322 yards per game over the entire season... that would be 27th... aka not good. And two of the games in the last 8 were 400 and 401 yard games, two outliers considering the rest of the games we only finished over 300 yards of offense twice. That means 4 games of the last 8 we finished with under 300 yards of offense which would be close to dead last. It's weird, the article points out how bad we were offensively and then you responded talking about how bad we were as if you were debunking everything written.
I was showing the improvement from the first half to the second half. If you get to remove outliers to support your argument then we can pull the first Patriots game (105 yards) and the Eagles game (158 yards) and obviously the statistics skew differently as well. You can't just cherry pick the stats one way and not the other.
I don't even have to cherry pick to make the point I was trying to make: the offense improved to "very bad" from "god awful". Meanwhile the defense improved from "hovering around average" to "borderline top 10" and that is why we went 6-2. Gregg Williams and his fantastic job coaching a bunch of guys off the street while Gase couldn't tell his ass from his elbow on the other side of the ball.
