According to the latest stats I can find - the Jets are: - the #1 most penalised team with 131 - have the most penalty yards of any team with 1,099 - have the most defensive pass interreference penalties - the real killer penalty - have the most unnecessary roughness penalties - another killer as it usually turns over a sack or other big play Last year the Jets were also the most penalised team in the NFL with a mere 124 penalties so it is great to see that with a game to spare they've already outdone themselves - I think we can get to 140 with a fair wind. The 2011 Raiders got to 163 and I think we just need to accept that some goals are simply too high to challenge.
They are a very undisciplined team but today was ridiculous though. If they farted near Allen it was a 15 yard penalty
This started with Saleh. Absolutely no authority figure and just a culture of zero accountability was created. Ulbrich continued it but it was probably to late for him to put a mean face on if he ever had one. Whoever comes in here next year better rip into them on day one.
As much as I’d like to say it matters a ton (and it does a little bit), the NFL is fucking ridiculous with penalties. I’ve maybe seen 5-6 illegal contacts all year and there were 4-5 in the Bengals/Broncos game yesterday and at least a couple today in the Jets game among some others. The league has an agenda and it’s even bigger now with the vested interest with legal sports gambling in the mix. The Chiefs have a right tackle that’s allowed to false start on every passing play for two years and he gets half a dozen called a year. That’s not by accident. There’s also a flag on the defense on what feels like every Chiefs 3rd down play.
Very undisciplined going on a few years now. Whomever takes the helm as HC needs to hold these guys accountable. Penalties is a huge factor on why we lost so much this year.
Agreed. Zero accountability. He was not a leader of men because they never got better with penalties.
Spot on. Also doesn't help that we're apparently the only organization that doesn't hire refs for training camp so players can get accustomed to what they should and shouldn't do. The personal fouls also speak to Douglas' inability to scout character. Legitimate personal fouls should basically never happen. They are completely avoidable. I'm not talking incidental ones where you sneeze within 5 yards of the QB and get flagged. Those are unavoidable, but we commit plenty of the legitimate ones that should never happen.
This is the single most important stat to reflect on coaching. Penalties = poor coaching. Of course, once coupled with poor game management, the total picture of ineptitude is revealed. This Jets team is a master class on dysfunction.
I will say this. the NFL officiating sucks big time this year, and there are so many penalties called in the games that it ruins watching the games. Many of those called on the Jets yesterday were BS, or at the least, random. Some of the calls made on Buffalo were also crap calls. They almost seem like small town cops who are pressured to write tickets. I feel like the NFL might fire a ref who goes a game without throwing a flag.
Loss Gardner coming through to help the team lead in something. Shocked they don’t have the most delay of game penalties.
The level of which just might eliminate the Jets from any serious GM or HC candidate. We might get stuck with 1st timer or an out of date retread due to a lack of interest.
That's all we were ever going to get anyway. The time to make the change was last offseason before everyone knew that Rodgers was washed and that the roster was significantly less talented than everyone thought it was. There were viable candidates that they might have been able to pursue then. This, even at the top, is a weak group of candidates for head coaching positions and the team is in a much worse position to try to attract a new coach now than it was then, both from a roster standpoint as well as the perception that this franchise is a complete dumpster fire from top to bottom.
