This core teams done imo.... I blame Tannenbaum on this one. Chasing Asomougha killed this team. We should have resigned Woody, Ellis, Edwards and brought back the team from last season. He tried to fix something that wasnt broken.
Yeah im sick of hearing this shit. The Jets went to 2 AFC championships in like 40 years. Then Rex comes in and got us to 2 in 2 seasons.
Nice job Cribb. Dead on. Now some will point to the Ravens success and say they are blabber mouths. Why that may be true...it sure is hell didn't start from the top. No great successful team has ever had a leader that not only lets it go..but encourages his team to spew bullshit from their mouths. Once again...I love Rex the way I love my loud mouth uncle. Rex has some great qualities. I'm just not sure those qualities are what makes great head coaches. Now lets all circle jerk and talk about two straight AFC championship games. Lets also talk about how they got there and if anyone really believed that the Jets were building a dynasty while not even winning division to get there. This entire run has been done with talent at the some important areas (defense and offensive line)...both were exposed to different degrees and this team is left in the exact train wreck some thought would happen. It just doesn't work. Shooting your mouth off is for one hit wonders and eventual losers. If Rex can get that into his head in the off season he still has a chance to be a great coach because he does have the intangible of players willing to run through a wall for him. Unfortunately, he truly believes that came from him being a players coach and allowing the team to be run like prison. That is not why the Jets succeeded. They put fear into no one. They had those runs because they ran the damn ball and played very good defense. They did not have those two runs because all the shit they talked. All the shit they talked has only allowed all the other teams to gleefully urinate on their graves...something all Jet fans would love to do if the shoe was on the other foot..or team.
Agreed. He's going to be a solid player, but losing Braylon and Cotch and expecting Mason/Plax/Kerley fill that hole was a huge miscalculation on Tanny's part. Cotch made so many big plays for this team and was a calm veteran presence in the LR.
I agree and I supported his firing, of course I was thinking schitty would be with him. However, Rex has lost this locker room albeit in a different way. If the players are really behind him as much as we would like to believe, we would have seen a better effort n the field than the crap we saw on the field the last 3 weeks. I am not necessarily saying wins or better execution but definitely a better effort. This team looked uninspired and unprepared the last 3 games.
It's because he never disciplined anybody, he's players coach but there's a time when you have to be the dictator coach and a time to be best friends. You can't run the team talking about unity and how everyone is the best at their position, and then when they fail to live up to their end of the bargain nothing happens. We all saw this coming early in the season, when the story of the wide receivers storming the office to complain about the play calling, then next day Derek Mason for whatever reason is released but you hear nothing about Santonio. Once again, later in the season Santonio takes bonehead penalties, drops balls and what not, and all Rex says is Holmes said "he's sorry" no discipline, no sitting out a series, nothing. The organization completely screwed the pooch big time when it came to managing the roster, and that really falls on the GM. The defense has nothing, you take out Revis and it's the 25th ranked defense at best, Rex is an incredible defensive mind but he just doesn't have the horses in the front seven to do anything of significance. And the entire offense was based on the offensive line playing out of their minds, this year injuries hit it and then everything fell apart. We couldn't run the ball at all, we had a group of receivers that were never in sync with the quarterback, and one receiver, our best receiver who was allowed to do as he pleases without any form of control. Add in the fact we're having Sanchez throw 50 times a game, it's all a recipe for disaster. The two AFCCG clouded every bodies judgment. This was never a Super Bowl team. We went 8-8 one year and 11-5 the next(on a soft schedule), now we're back at 8-8 and things aren't looking up. As it stands this is an 8-8 team. You can make the tough, yet correct adjustments and get better, or you can get worse and lose your job.
Yeah Ellis was iffy but he was a strong leader and wouldnt have put up with this shit from players like Cromartie(throwing the offense under the bus). Ellis's presence woulda been a benefit. Another thing is, we went into free agency under the belieft that we COULDNT bring back the 2010 team. As it turned out, Edwards was really cheap, we were 8 million under the cap, we coulda brought back everyone and more. I think we could be set up better for the future tho in reguards to the cap.
Seriously man...WE GET IT! You don't like Sanchez! Why do you have to repeat it in EVERY GODDAMN THREAD YOU POST IN! You're entitled to your opinion, but I am also entitled to tell you that I think your opinion is utter bullshit and based on your obvious lack of football knowledge. I didn't see Sanchez sulking on the bench when the game was on the line.
Yeah cause Sanchez was the douche bag causing fights in the huddle then sitting on the sideline during the most important drive of the game. Spare me you fucktard. Sanchez has been just as clutch if not more clutch than Holmes. You act as if all the clutch passes were thrown only to him. Guess who threw all of em tho? Sanchez.
I think one of the main issues here is that the defense views themselves as an elite unit (whether they deserve to or not) and they see the offense as undisciplined and underachieving (which is most definitely deserved). This ultimately comes down to coaching. Rex's style is that of a players' coach, not a dictator, which makes it hard for him to lay the hammer down when his players start in on each other. Especially considering he has little to do with the offense. So what do we do about it? Well, I don't see the Jets firing Rex. They've had too much success to justify that at this point. However, they do need a stronger personality on the other side of the ball. They need an OC who can keep the pretty boys on Offense in line and disciplined. Seriously, how many ridiculous penalties does this offense take? I mean, Mulligan alone gets three a game! How many times do we see two receivers right on top of each other, clearly running the wrong routes? How many free running DEs that are seemingly unblocked? All of these things are coaching related. Not talent related. If the coaches don't put the players in the best position to succeed, talent means NOTHING. That and they need someone who can command their respect. Schotty hasn't had that in years.
This what have you done for me lately crap is bullshit. How does everyone forget about Rex's first two years here so easily? That alone gives him a pass on this season, which still wasn't a complete loss. We still managed to go 8-8, not a losing season. It was just a bad season for our expectations. Some of you are to much. This fan base wants a SB so bad that a lot of you can't even see the actual facts of the situation, most of you would rather just point a finger and hope everyone gets fired because "clearly" after ONE SEASON you know that it just will never happen with this coaching staff. One bad season and the sky is falling. You guys need to stop with your bullshit, running Rex out of town is only going to set this team back much further. This fan base is absolutely the worst.
Well, Woody retired so there was nothing that could be done there, but I agree otherwise. Braylon is a better receiver than Plax and Ellis is the type of guy that could've kept everyones' ego in check. What really bothered me was the complete lack of concern about the RT position. They had several opportunities to bring in a more accomplished player at RT and they just didn't. Completely destabilized the line.
Well...I wouldn't say the WORST. I mean, have you ever talked to Miami fans? You have to find one first, which is hard enough, but when you do they are more concerned with their Ed Hardy themed t-shirts than their football team. Jets fans are just impatient. Which is strange considering how long we've been waiting for success. Still, I agree that people need to see the bigger picture.
Woody only retired because Asshole only offered him a vet minimum contract. If he paid him he would have been back, instead he hoards the money and guarantees future contracts for Scott and others.
Didnt Woody want to come back? I remember him saying the only team he would play for is the Jets. Wayne Hunter cost us games, many...
