Wilson's losses against the Pats is why the team is eliminated. the tiebreaker scenarios with the Pats (I believe) If we win next week, there could be 6 teams with 8-9 records.
MLF needs to be fired and Saleh put on notice. JD needs to fix the OL next year or he should be a goner. No patchwork stuff. Just make the tough decisions and pay the money. No QB thrives here otherwise.
Mike White DID disappoint, I'll cut him slack, because you could see he wasn't ok. His arm looked weak, probably from not being able to move from the injury. What a disaster this game was. I wasn't surprised at all with the overall performance. Not at all.
Unfortunately, all we EVER seem to excel at is the offseason, which ALWAYS leads to the regular season showing us we made yet more bad offseason moves...brilliant!! THEY NEEDED TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, AND TASTE THAT. IT WAS RIGHT FRIGGIN THERE. THEY HAD OPPORTUNITY AND GIFTS TO GET THERE, AND STILL LAID DOWN. I dont know , if a staff, that can allow this team to COLLAPSE , and lose 5 in a row, and NOT LOOK like anything they were only a few weeks earlier, leads me to believe they will NEVER have what it takes. Mostly , Ulbrich and MLF....SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THOSE 2.
This comes down to the coach... I was saying to my pops the whole second half that the dude was too battered to throw the ball, and he needed to see what the other guys could pull out of their ass. I admire White's grit, but the coach needed to save the guy from himself....
I don't understand Saleh's thinking yesterday. It was clear early on that MW didn't have anything to give the team due to the injuries. After the 1st qtr, Flacco should have been in the game.. We are still paying Flacco to suit up right? WTF was Saleh thinking leaving MW in the game. Near the end, MW was damn lucky his ribs didn't get BBQ'd again on that last hit. Hell, even the Seahawks were helping Mike get up off the turf. How fckn pathetic was that???? Saleh gets '23-24 to get his HC act together or else he has to walk the plank. We just don't have the time or the patience to endure Saleh going thru OJT for the next 3-4 years. JD needs to make the hard decision or Woody needs to make it for him..
YEP.... I was yelling "WTF, the game's done why kill the guy?!?!" and wanted some more Strevler "Tebow-ball" to start the 4th even if just to throw the Seattle D off balance while sleepy Joe gets warmed up
To have Streveler dressed and not get in for a zone read option play or 2 early on seemed odd to me. You are playing one of the worst run defenses in the league and you have trouble at times blocking for the run, this option can disguise that at times. If you had no package ready for Streveler, you should have dressed someone else.
(1) Damien Woody on Twitter: "@DrewfromJersey To me…two things are glaring. MLF has failed to get ANYTHING out of Zach in two yrs & the offense totally collapsed down the stretch. Second…pro scouting. The free agents that were signed here have been whiffs" / Twitter
The dynamics of this team changed w/the injuries to the OL during the season. It became a revolving door. Also the loss of Breece Hall killed their running game. It made the offense one dimensional and predictable. We have a lot of excellent first and second year players. Some w/all-pro potential. Need more building blocks. Start w/the offensive line and maybe another running back (Breece may need more time w/his injury) Remember it took Barkley on the Giants to come back to form. QB is a question I know Jimmy G isn't popular but he is an unrestricted free agent so signing him will not cost any draft choices. 2023 marks my 63rd year as a Jet fan. Hope springs eternal.
Oh, and what happened to James Robinson? Another Saleh/LeFleur exile to Siberia? Haven't seen or heard much about him since his media statement.
