:lol: :lol: :rofl2: :rofl2: You have posted some doozies on here before but this one takes the cake. The man that led us to 10 points at Cle and 13 at Ari(the following weeks Cle gave up 58 points to cincy and Ari gave up 26 points to DETROIT) was going to lead us to alot of points on the road against the NFL's best D in terms of points allowed.
I happen to agree with this statement. Chad did a wonderful job of leading our team with a new scheme. He ran it to perfection and he ran it very conservatively and against the sub par competition we faced we won a lot of games. What we saw on the sidelines last night was a frustrated young HC who desperately wants to take the next step. In order to take that next step our playbook is going to have to be opened up, we are going to have to make teams fear our ability to hit plays all over the field including outside and up the field something we just didn't do last year. Chad is going to start this year but make no mistake if he is to physically limited to open up the playbook and make defenses back off and fear our passing game we will see Clemens this year.
How many offensive points did Chad lead us to against Pitt? I belive we scored 6 points against them in the regular season and we were minus 4 on O in the playoff game. Had our O actual score 10 points against Pitt we win going away.
And it also held back our running game, which was trufthully the best in the league. The steelers were putting 9 men in the box comfortably.
We were in that game because of our special teams and Defense. Had Chad done anything that game would have been a blowout. Chad stunk in that game and slowed the game down when we had Pittsburgh realing at the end. Any QB worth his salt would have stepped on their throat.
Well I have to agree with Junc here for once: I was watching the game with about 20 jet fans yesterday. Quite frankly I distinctly remember the exact same complaints last year at this time. The exception was Shottenheimer and Mangini were complete unknowns and everyone was shitting their pants because the offense was brutal in the pre-season. I mean really really really brutal and everyone was worried that CP sucked and Mangini and crew were way above their true pay grade. Fast forward to this year. Sounds like last year. I know this maybe a reach and all going by how much Jets bombed lol last year............... This team and staff handled the Vikings with aplomb last year when it counted. Maybe just maybe everything was so plain vanilla (dumbed down) that the Jets did not have a true game plan. The defense looked similarly plain vanilla last night. It certainly looked like the Vikings came in there with a better plan because with the exception of Special teams they kicked the Jets ass. It looked like they were prepared for any plain vanilla crap we would throw at them. One thing judging this staff on the preseason is gametime they are nothing like they are when week 1 starts. They are like ragu in the preseason. Plain old crapola, they use the pre-season as a tool nothing more and nothing less. Personally, I think this staff likes stinkers in the pre-season, it gives them a chance to really give it to the players and teach in practice. As a fan, I am not worried in the least with last nights debacle. If I was a Jet than yes I would worry because then I would have one long long week ahead of me. So freaking relax, if this were against the Pats than I would say lets be chicken little.
I actually thought we played well in preseason last year and thought we had a great chance to win 9 to 10 games based on that. I think we have better personal this year but I don't believe we are going to scheme our way to wins against better competition.
I'm okay with admitting it as long as it's okay with MisterMoss. Junc on the other hand will never admit to it.
I do not really agree. We handled the Vikings with their vaunted O-line and D-line rather well last year. How many times have you seen a team that got beat like that come in to the next game and try and kill it. Like I said, I am willing to bet the Vikings game planned their asses off vs. the Jets running the same old plain vanilla pre-seaon playbook the Jets used. There is just no way in hell the Jets look this unprepared in the regular season with maybe the exception of an aberration game (similar to Jacksonville or the Bills). No way. Also, I firmly believe that a team with less talent that is prepared for every situation is going to have a good chance to beat a team that is not coached as well. How else can you explain last year because even with the supposed weak schedule most every team the Jets played last year with the exception of the Lions and Raiders had/have more talent than the Jets top to bottom.
i think whats getting some of us closer to the medicine cabinet today is we thought we were past the inefficiencies of CP and that the coaching staff and team was evolving into a cohesive unit that could give us an opportunity in decmeber and january...... jil
But we know what Brady brings to the table, and his arm is good. 7/10 for 40 yards is horrible. Sure you completed passes, but 40 yards? Even on his completions they were lobbed there! I'm really concerned, I always said Chad from 10-20 is money, and he was last night for the most part, but those soft tosses just cannot happen in the regular season...Sickening.
Here was my thoughts on this last year prior to the season. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=10609&highlight=Trolling
