So by your logic Rex is such an amazing coach in every other aspect of the game that he can overcome being the worst game manager in the league on a consistent basis?
He is not that bad. Some of this goes onto the O coordinator and staff. 2 weeks ago schitty admitted it was on him. You can't say for certain other then it it his overall duty but you can't say who on the staff is advising him in certain situations.
Whether I think that Rex is an amazing coach is really immaterial. I'm just saying that if he didn't make some mistakes with clock management then the Jets could have the chance to have a better record over the last two years. Unless you think that giving your offense ~1:45 seconds instead of 1:05 to score a TD doesn't give your team a better chance to win I don't really think the point is open to interpretation. You can argue all day long about going for it on fourth down, punting, or FG in certain situations or whether or not a fake punt is a smart move at a particular point in the game. However, you really can't argue that your more apt to score a TD if you have 1:45 left instead of 1:05. It's not like Rex is the only head coach I see who make clock management mistakes - many do at all levels. I see clock management mistakes in many games and sometimes the team wins anyway. Clock management is usually never the only thing that causes teams to win / lose, but it's in often overlooked issue. When you see teams like the 49er's of the 80's or the Pats of this decade (I don't know which teams I hate(d) more) seem to get the absolute most out of end-of-the half situations you come to realize that good clock management decisions to have an effect. Although I haven't read every single post I don't think I have seen anyone advocate for firing Rex. What is the problem with mentioning an issue with the head coach (even though you think he is capable) and advocating that he do something to remedy that issue in the future?
I said the worst of any team ive ever seen. Not the worst of any team ever. And how many teams in the nfl have had 9 games come down to the last drive/play of the game this year ? Its not like this has happened once... or twice... or even three times. Its almost every single god damn week its that bad. I truly dont believe youll find another team in the nfl this year who has had worse clock management than we have. Its possible but id be completely shocked. And its true, the stuff we do with clock management would be equivalent to the yankees coaches telling their relievers to intentionally load the bases when theyre empty. Our team consistently wins games, and our coaches consistently open the door for the other team to make a comeback.
you said So now you don't even agree with yourself. if you want an example of team with worse time management the Herm Edwards Jets are a good place to start.
Heh. The interweb is like every ex-girlfriend you ever had - it doesn't forget any of your bullshit lies, and is quick to toss 'em all right back in your face. Plus, it's also a dumb whore.
what the fuck man, this is another lame thread here. Rex has shown to be poor at times but to call him the worst game manager in the NFL is stupid. Brian Schotty is Mr. Predictable...blame that fucker
U are such a freaking loser! The "worst game manager in the NFL" has lead a non-playoff team to two straight playoff births starting with a rookie QB. How the **** are you not banned yet??
I think Braylon talked him into the Fake Punt..... "C'mon coach C'mon, lets take it to em" "ummm, yeah, if we score a TD then another TD we win... Yeah, YEAH,, GO FOR IT!!"
Leave Herm alone. The league wasn't as cautious about concussions back when he played. Or coached for that matter...
Rex royally screwed up the timeouts and the people arguing it simply dont understand where he screwed up. Rex was right to call the first time out it was the second timeout right after the first down where he ****ed up. He should have let the Bears run a play after the first down and then let the clock go to the 2 minute warning. Now he has 2 time outs to call after 2nd and 3rd down leaving 1:50 on the clock instead of 1:10.
I missed the fake punt we made with the lead. Is that as dumb a call as it looked watching the ESPN replays or is there some good explantion for faking a punt with the lead in your own territory?
Ok, this is my fear Rex is gambler. He likes to roll the dice and chase the long odds. He blitzes on third and long, blitzes against teams that can't score, goes for it on 4th down in situations where he should punt and mismanages the game clock. Lots of great things about Rex, best coach we had in a long time, but he has some weaknesses he needs to address. If they punt then maybe we win this game.
I don't know, we're pretty much at that level. We screw something up with clock management nearly on a weekly basis now.
Wow, my biggest fan is back. Speak for yourself buddy. Its amazing youre not banned considering half your posts call someone a name. To answer your first point, yeah....because Rex is main the reason we won. That just goes to show you this team has overcome Rex's clock management deficiencies. Go crawl back into your little hole....
