    Perhaps someone can make sense of it for me. If we look past the obvious “Hacket sucks”, how is a game-plan centered around your glaring weakness approved by the HC week in and week out?

    On the season he’s averaging 29 throws a game but it’s just been ramping up and not getting the results. Looking at the game log will tell you what you probably already know: the less he throws, the better the Jets do, so why are they putting the game in his hands when the seasons on the line?

    You're giving Saleh a lot of credit by assuming he even bothers looking at their gameplan each week.

    I'm not sure he does anything during the week other than figuring out what music is going to be playing in his headset during the game. He certainly doesn't coach anything.

    Well. The running backs were 17 for 54 yards (3.1 YPC) so literally nothing on offense works at all. It’s atrocious and unbelievably sad.

    @REVISion said it correctly. We’re in a giant clusterfuck because any offensive coordinator would be fired at this point but we can’t because RoDgErS.

    Garrett Wilson is the only bright spot right now. I'll drive to NJ to pick up Lazard if they want to let him go

    When was the last time the Jets fired a coach mid-season?

    From Cimini
    "Zach Wilson’s INT came under pressure. Wilson has now thrown 2 Pass TD to 10 INTs when under duress in his career. That’s the 2nd-worst TD/Int ratio by a QB under duress since ESPN began tracking it back in 2009, just ahead of another Jets first-round pick, Mark Sanchez."

    Maybe they need some more Austin Powers videos.

    If we're talking coordinators, which seemed to be implied by the post you quoted, then that would be Gregg Williams in 2020.

    Other than that, I think Pete Carroll was the last head coach the Jets canned during the season.

    I don’t remember that being mid-season. I thought it was with 2 or 3 games to go.

    Sorry. By mid-season I just thought you meant during season, not like the actual midway point. :).

    He was fired with a little over a month left to go.

    Yea definitely mid season. This is a very different situation where the team is still in contention for a playoff spot. At that point we were playing for draft position.

    Well, we're mathematically alive, but we're not a playoff contender. That ended the past two weeks.

    I honestly don't think we're going to win another game.

    Playoffs?

    Seriously?

    We have 5 losses already, including losses to other AFC teams that now hold the tie breaker on us in the Chargers and Raiders….AFC is tough, but if you assume that KC, Balt, Jax and say Miami win their divisions, we’d be going up against the Bills, Steelers, Browns, Bengals, Texans, Colts for the remaining 3 spots. Ain’t happening. Sure we still have to play a few of those teams, but we’d have to start winning like NOW.

    We are not a playoff team…shit we can’t even score touchdowns

    We're not going to the playoffs. If anything, we're only a game out in the win column from the 5th overall pick. We very well may end the season with only the four wins we currently have. Getting a top 5 pick is much more on the table than the #7 seed in the playoffs.

    I think even more than the run/pass split, the issue is that we never seem to pass when we're in the red (gold?) zone. It's like Hackett shits himself from excitement whenever we miraculously get inside the 20 and just doesn't want to fuck it up.

    Throw into the endzone once in a while for fuck's sake. Worst case scenario they intercept it and get the ball at their own 25 against our stout defense. Instead we perpetually think we can win games by kicking 4 field goals per game and never sniffing the endzone. It's maddening.

    It is one thing to ask Zach Wilson not to lose games. But the last two crucial games, it is time and ask ZW to figure out how to win games. At this juncture we can blame JD, Saleh and Hackett all we want but unlike Dobbs and Stroud did, ZW cannot win games.

    To be fair, the Jets can't really run the ball. THe offensive line is so bad that the RBs have zero trust in any holes being where they are supposed to be. That is why you see so much hesitation and "read" because RBs are trying to salvage positive yards, often with the designed running lane blown up and a defender in the backfield.

    More evidence of this offensive line being totally worthless. And before someone jumps on the "its just injuries" bandwagon". Its not just injuries. It is the team design, it is the coaching, and it is the scheme. The O-line has been a liability since the offseason-- well before the injury bug hit-- to incclude the entire pre-season.
