I have been consistent on this all year in all of my posts, so I don't feel the need to elaborate on this right now, however, Eric Mangini takes WAY too much abuse on this message board . . . he's obviously a very good coach (particulary, schematically) and he is no where near as conservative as people on this board make him out to be. And let me tell you guys a little secret, Bill Belichick (the national media's all sainted coach) makes PLENTY of bad in-game decisions that no one ever seems to bring up. (And just to clarify, I think he's an all-time great coach) As an example last night, with his team down 24-6 in the 2nd quarter, at 4th & 3 and well within field goal range, he elects to go for it and CJ mosley sacks Cassel and they get nothing. Now, they were down by three scores, and instead of kicking a field goal to go get within two scores, he goes for it and gets nothing. That was a TERRIBLE decision. My point is not to say that Mangini is perfect or that he deserves to be compared to Belichick at this point in his career, my point is that you can find bad decisions, in any game, made by EVERY coach. The point is that Mangini has his team at 7-3 and in sole possession of first place in the AFC east. He has totally revamped the offense in the last 5 games and gotten Favre to stop forcing the ball down the field (he NEVER gets any credit for that) , while changing the scheme to a power running game and shotgun-spread, interdemiate-to-quick passing game. His defense is 2nd in sacks and 5th against the run. Give the guy some credit.
I agree with you, but I have different feelings about our coordinators. The play calling at points in the game, especially in the third quarter was terrible/inexcusable.
3RD quater play calling was terrible. The NYJETS should have went for the juggler.Instead they went into the prevent offense and defense.
yup every coach makes some bad calls. you dont think some pats fans are mad beli went for it on that fourth down? he took 3 points off the board that turned out huge. each coach makes decisions that they think are best. sometimes we all dont agree and it turns out we are right. sometimes we all dont agree and it turns out the coach is right. its just the way it goes.
This simply isn't true. First of all, how did the Jets go into a "prevent" offense???? (I'm assuming by "prevent offense", you mean "conservative offense") If anything, they didn't run the ball ENOUGH in the 3rd quarter . . . try watching the game over and actually paying attention to the offensive play-calling in the 3rd quarter . . . they threw on first down on two of their three offensive possessions - the reason they got nothing done in the third quarter offensively is because the pass protection broke down and the Pats sacked Favre and put the Jets in 2nd and long several times. Secondly, the Jets were clearly blitzing in the 3rd quarter . . .the problem was the blitzes were terribly ineffective and being picked up. In other words, the problem was the EXECUTION, not the play-calling. No offense but your post is a typical example of a fan seeing a lack of production on the field in a given time frame and confusing lack of execution with bad play-calling. (something that happens constantly on this board)
I have my opinion and you obviously have yours.It happens constantly because this is a message board usually heavily opinionated.
Uhm, not quite . . . what you wrote wasn't a matter of opinion at all. You essentially wrote that the Jets went into a "prevent offense and defense" in the third quarter. They did neither. That's not an opinion.
