We should be 3-2 if things went our way a bit vs bears n packers,we won those close weird games last year,this year we are not winning the close ones
I have to agree, despite the fact that Green Bay is the better team, we should have won that game. The two biggest reasons we lost that game were that Decker had to leave with the hamstring (huge loss) and Mo got himself ejected like an idiot. I've been re-watching the games, and Decker is so so important to this team. The Bears game was winnable, but not as winnable as being up 21-3 against the Packers.
What really funny IF the Jets some how find a way to beat Denver people on here will have us going to playoffs and AFC East Champs.
You mean like the 2013 Jets quit when the Tians slammed them 38-13 or when the Bengals hung 49-9 on them or when the freaking Bills got them 37-14? Don't count the Jets out until you get to 10. Standing 8 count a couple of times a season is par for the course since 2011. The talent just hasn't been there for a lot of that time. Even in 2010 they lost 45-3 to the Pats and then a horrible 10-6 loss to the Fins the next week and they still came back.
Over the past 2 days I re-watched the Raiders, Packers, Bears, Chargers, and half of the Lions game so far. Geno has made mistakes, but to this point I am starting to think Geno is getting a pretty unfair amount of criticism. He makes bad decisions sometimes, but he has been getting basically no help from his guys. The picks from the 4 and a half games I've re-watched so far go as follows: 1: Amazing play by Charles Woodson (Raiders) 2: Hit during the throw from an angle he couldn't see coming (Packers) 3: Overthrew CJ on a screen (Bears) 4: Deep throw to the end zone, Fuller picks it (Bears) 5: Desperation lob to close the half (Chargers) I know he throws a pick against the Lions but I still have to re-watch it. Out of those 5 picks only 2 are "bad" picks (both against the Bears), the rest are not good per se but certainly not the type of plays that should make people call for his benching .
When a rocket scientist makes a mistake things go boom. Too many mistakes and they're no longer employed as a rocket scientist. I think we can all agree at this point that Geno is not a rocket scientist. He doesn't have an unlimited number of mistakes to make while he figures things out. In fact, he may already have made almost all of the mistakes he can afford.
2 wins over the next 5 days would be about as massive a swing in direction as one could imagine. Until then the beatings will continue as scheduled.
People really underestimate Decker. Regardless of the fact that he's not in the Calvin Johnson mold the guy can straight get open and move the chains. A lot of Jets fans are too stuck in the mold of #1 vs. #2 receivers. Two very good #2s who can move the chain same equally if not more valuable we just need that second piece.
Agreed, guys like Kerley, Amaro, and Salas all benefit a lot just from Decker being out there. I feel that we can upgrade from Salas/Nelson on the other side but just having Decker healthy and available made a big difference. Re-watching the Lions game showed me that Amaro is making big strides. I think I may have been too frustrated to really see everything that was going on, but he made a bunch of clutch catches late in the game.
If the Jets manage to beat Denver (somehow) no one will be saying the jets will be the AFC East Champs.....it's the NFL ANYTHING can happen on any given day...Peyton could catch a bad cold and sneeze every time he throws the ball resulting in a lot of incomplete passes and interceptions....it's not likely to happen, but there is a place in random probability that it COULD happen.... but if the Jets do beat the Bronco's on Sunday I'll be looking outside for the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse because the end is nigh.
The Lions pick was bad too. But I believe Geno was pretty decent during the first 3 weeks, and he played okay in the 2nd half of the Lions game.
Actually I watched the rest and he was hit while throwing again. He probably should have seen the rusher since it wasn't in a blindspot, but still not the worst pick. The fumble he had in the Lions game was worse. His receivers dropped a lot of balls early in the Lions game too.
I might have to look at it again. But I remember Geno having enough time in the pocket but he forced a pass intended for Salas.
He took a really hard hit and the ball sailed just over the receiver's head, the receiver (Salas I think) had absolutely no chance at it and the deep DB caught it, not even the DB who had the coverage on the receiver. The hit came from the middle right, it's hard to know exactly what Geno saw before the pass, like whether he slipped around from behind a lineman.
The only pick from a really forced pass was the one in the Bears when he tried to force it to Nelson deep in the end zone and Fuller picked it off. The last second lob to Salas in the Chargers game that got picked was sort of forced, but it was with the seconds ticking to zero at the end of the half so it doesn't even really count in my opinion.
I read somewhere where Rex is 6-1-1 against the spread that 9+ against him. With him winning 3 of them 2 in the playoffs.
Well if they lose this week and against the Pats on Thursday then 5-11 will start to look very optimistic at best.
After reading Manish Mehta's piece on Geno yesterday, it's looking more and more like the marketing folks made the decision to get rid of Mark Sanchez.
Sanchez was done regardless. The Jets did him no favors, but his decision making and reading of defenses never progressed or advanced...he was making the same mistakes year 4 that he was making year 1. Not drafting a QB in this years draft was a huge mistake.
