If you had to pick ONE PRIMARY reason this season unfolded this way...

    The Gods are listening! Forty nine years to the day later, the Jets have given me another birthday present! The first was November 19, 1975 when they fired Charley Winner, who wasn't. Now they have finally moved on from the Douglas depression; happy days are here again!

    This coupled with the fact that they should have immediately known the Aaron Rodger experiment failed right then and there. Followed by a decision to FIND a reasonable starting QB.

    I'm going to say ownership.

    The minute the ink dried on the bid W. Johnson submitted to the NFL was the moment this sad sack franchise was effectively "done" in my lifetime.

    Whoo that's a tough one. I hate to do this but I have to.

    We had the worst kicker in the NFL this season his misses forever changed the course of this season and now offseason & future of the franchise.

    Had he made the game winning kick at the end of the Denver game I don't believe that coach Saleh gets fired after the loss to the Vikings.

    Had he made his kicks in the second New England game this 2024 season just looks completely different right now.

    I have to believe the franchise would still be whole and even though the record would be far from what we expected it to be before the season started they'd be in the thick of the AFC playoff picture right now with a bunch of meaningful games to look forward to.

    You know, I feel you there. He cost us 3 games and, you're right, 3 wins and the team is in the thick of things. Our defense probably doesn't collapse and... So many variables. It is refreshing to see someone other than the usual suspects getting called out.

    Joe Douglas torpedoing the defense by letting Huff walk, trading JFM and not resigning Quinton Jefferson.

    Also bringing back Zurlein instead of signing Siebert was a massive blunder that resulted in numerous losses.

    Coaching. There should be enough talent to be a .500 team at least.

    - No discipline, way too many penalties and mental errors
    - Come out flat every game, last game it took most of the first half just to get a first down.
    - Awful coming off bye weeks
    - No creativity in play calling, every first down is a struggle with this dink and dunk bs
    - Absolute garbage in goal to go situations
    - Can't stop the run
    - Can't tackle
    - Can't even call plays in time

    That's asinine if true.
    That's asinine if true. Somehow, Woody is even worse than I thought.

    The scariest part of that is it shows he thinks he knows better than the GM and his football people about personnel decisions. He has no idea he has no idea what he's doing with that and also what impact that would have on the GM and coach.

    Who the hell would want to work for him?

    Things are looking up then! The two guys responsible for the coaching staff are now gone.
