Just an aside, but who was that beast of a QB who played for the Bengals the other night? We need a guy like that.
If Bill Parcells is really Aaron Glenn's mentor, then why is Glenn performing so badly. I would think Bill Parcells would be the best mentor possible for a NFL head coach.
It makes me so angry. He should've tried the game winning kick. High probability the kick would've been short, or wide or blocked because it's the Jets at least they would've gone for the win. I would be at peace with the outcome. To go for it on 4th down with Fields the outcome was so predictable who didn't know Fields would take another sack with the game on the line?
I don't know where to post this so I'll put it here. What happened to the Carolina opponent of the week thread? Last week we lost the poll this week we lost the thread entirely? I liked them.
The Jets were probably always going to be set up for a bottom'ish type tier season of 2025, but the last few days was a great reminder of 2 things: 1. This team was at least a lot more fun to watch lose for those 3 hours every sunday with both Aaron Rodgers (and then latter Davante) on it. 2. The fans who spent all spring stressing words/concepts like CULTURE in their justification takes on why getting rid of our2 best offensive players was a **GOOD** idea for our 2025 season, and who a mere 6 games in to this "culture rebuild" are already doing toxic level turns on the new HC and replacement QB, deserve every ounce of that suck these days that comes with rooting for a Woody Johnson football team. You'd think this was MLB baseball the way people always romanticize the concept of a "rebuild". When outside downgrading QB to Fields all that really changed and all that translates into in the NFL is the Jets deciding they were still going to lose games with a shittier and less fun to watch football team then we could of had. To the cheers of a large majority of this fanbase.
I think things changed since the days when Parcells was here. Things evolved. It is more offense oriented League, and you need to be good schematically to win and make intelligent decisions that have that in mind. AG is still that guy who wants to run the football and win a race to 20. Basically like Bob was, but not as accomplished defensively and his defense stunk except 1 game. The culture will change when you are schematically good and smart enough to win games. Let me give you a small example, but this really shows a larger concern. In the last game 4th and 8, we had an option of 62 yarder to win the game. Now, we can debate whether Folk can hit 62, but he did hit 58 recently, and the conditions in London were perfect at that time. But at the press conference AG mentioned this was a 65-68 yarder. 1st of all, how do you not know exact distance? Why is he giving the range, I mean there was a precise number there, no? And that number was 62, not 65-68. So, the head coach didn't even have a clue how long a FG we had. If he did, maybe he wouldn't just say we need to get to 35 yard line. Maybe some play calling would have been different when we got to their 47 yard line. And things like that come up all the time, and they are often a lot more complex than that.
I really don't think Aaron Glenn is to blame for this mess. Many HCs came and went. So did a lot of OCs, DCs and a plethora of players. Players seem to have a revival of their respective careers, (well. with the exception of Zach Wilson - I hated that pick from the start). The only constant is - this nutjob of an owner, who keeps meddling with everything in the football operation. As long as Woody keeps fucking the team, this franchise is destined to be the league doormat. Regardless of the players or the HC or the coordinators.
