The defense didn't lose this game for us ,they were the reason we were still in it and should have won it if the refs didn't take away the fumble return.How can u blame the D ?They only gave up 20 points to a high powered offense
He dropped a thirty yard gain. That was terrible. Though I do think he'll eventually turn out to be reliable.
I didn't blame, only pointing out that stats don't tell the story all the time. It was Allen who was constantly beaten on 3rd down by Jeffery. It was the DL who allowed Cutler to scramble for a few 1st downs. It was Coples who may as well not have even been on the field.
Yeah he should have caught it, but it was an awkward way for him to get it. It was slightly behind. Even with that though, he made other plays today, and sure as hell looked improved. He is a rookie TE in his 3rd career game. TE is a position that takes guys 3-4 years to hit their true A game. I'll take any progress I can get for dude's first few games of his life.
Takeaways: Geno played bad, just a bad game. Tried to do too much on the RZ INT MM didn't help him out at all with Schotty esque game calling. You run a QB draw you just ran two plays ago and run the same exact play? Receivers have to catch passes Chris Johnson missed a few holes running the ball Jets don't have a deep passing game without Decker Defense was inconsistent. Was surprised they did as well as they did though They need to wrap up Jay Cutler, he escaped a few times he shouldn't have Jets only allowed a couple big plays through the air which is nice and their run defense was solid yet again Return game was poor Folk is money Rex's coaching was fine, but I don't like how non aggressive they were in the RZ. I understand 3 points is better than 0 and what not, but our team needs to be more aggressive. MM RZ calls were silly at times. Running Geno out to his left and leaving Allen unblocked (this better have been poor execution not play design). The QB draw.
Yea but when it comes down to it Geno lost the game with the pick 6 and the red one int,Saunders muff didn't help matters.That with the missed fumble return call .The fact that we were still in the game in the 4 th qtr is amazing
In other words another 8-8 year with promises of a better tomorrow. We have to win these close games.
Exactly. And the thing that people always miss is that there is a very small difference in today's NFL between the teams that win big and the teams that don't even make the playoffs. Take our 2009/2010 teams, for example. The 2009 team was life and death to even make the playoffs (If Peyton Manning plays an extra quarter in week 16, that whole run probably never even happens). The 2010 team won a litany of toss-up games that could have gone either way. We made some crucial plays, capitalized on the mistakes of our opponents, and did what we had to do to win those games. In 2011, we lost several of those games (@Denver, @Miami, NYG) only won 8 games. This league comes down to winning close games consistently. Edit: And every year is an opportunity to "win now."
Hmm Takeaways: I thought in all 3 games the Jets were the better team, they just still make the same mistakes or run into the same unfortunate events. Interceptions, penalties and bad officiating are plaguing what seems like every game. If they cut back on mistakes, they're 3-0. Defense I thought was great. I thought Wilk, Richardson and Demario Davis all played great. The CB's may have some trouble covering but they are all excellent tacklers. I think Pryor has a bright future. Offense and ST's didnt put the D in favorable situations and they still played very well. One issue with the defense is no turnovers. I think that will change eventually, but its killing us now. Ivory got 10 carries. Thats a problem. The guy should get way more carries as the game goes on. He wears the opposing defense down and seems to run over them as the game ends. Powell could use some carries as well, take them from CJ. On the same note, Geno shouldnt be throwing the ball 43 times. He isnt that kind of QB and this isnt that kind of offense. He has still looked OK. He's throwing the ball at a 60% clip. Thats what we all wanted before the year started, but we need the INT's to come down. I dont care about the INT's against Oakland and Green Bay. INT's like that happen to young QB's. No excuse for the two last night. If he cant get his shit together before Detroit, I'm willing to pull him after a half if he does this again. Winters struggled pretty bad, but I thought the rest of the OLine was solid. Brick did pretty good against Jared Allen, and Breno is a very solid tackle. Dont hear his name much at all. I'm optimistic for the future of this team, but I'm neccessarily optimistic about the next few weeks.
I'm glad your happy with playing really good in loses........they can play as good as they want if they don't win it doesn't mean shit.....Also geno fuking sucks that is not an overreaction........he is on pace for over 20 turnovers agaib
This has been the way it is for years now. At some point, the perpetual mistakes become a direct reflection and indictment of the head coach.
"Tomorrow... Tomorrow... there's always Tomorrow..." After 46 years of "Tomorrows", I think we should get the Royalties from that song...
We are getting glimpses as to why MM fell out favor down in Philly. His playcalling sometimes just defies logic and screams "I'm gonna outsmart everybody". Rex being the Overlord of this franchise, needs to do something about these endless mistakes and doing pushups just ain't good enough. As it stands right now, this is NOT a playoff team because if for no other reason, we just don't have the talent level at critical positions. Namely the Secondary and WR. Geno is only in his 2nd year so he gets a mulligan just like his HC is gonna get. Lucky for both of them, the execution or lack thereof won't be the unit of measure. Next year, whole different story. Hopefully it will be Lucky 7 for Ryan. If not.......
Disagree completely. Fairly often last season I thought the Jets were the inferior team, but got kind of lucky and won. This year its the exact opposite IMO. That makes me feel better about the future, but a little shaky on the present. I thought they were worse than what their record indicated, which is a result of good coaching. Firing Rex would set this team back IMO. I also dont think he's to blame. I thought he did a good job yesterday. It isnt his fault that there was a fumble and 2 brutal interceptions.
We'll have to agree to disagree here. To my eyes, we have been extremely mistake prone over the last three seasons. FYI, I'm pretty sure we have turned it over as much or more than any team in football over the last three seasons. Not all of that is on Rex (we have been playing with young and/or bad quarterbacks for his entire tenure), but I personally think his propensity to constantly defend his players contributes markedly to an environment in which the players aren't truly held accountable for their mistakes. This is just personal speculation/interpretation from someone who isn't in the locker room.
I think he is going to be good. i think once his awareness picks up he will be even better. he is in the right places but not making the plays. he buzzed underneath a pass to marshall in the endzone and wasnt looking for the ball, just ot be in the right place. he over ran it and barely got a finger on it to deflect it. if he is looking up thats an easy interception opporunity. but those thigns come with reps and playing time. i like him and think he will become a long term option there for us
Sorry, I didnt mean we werent extremely mistake prone. I totally agree with that. What I meant was that I thought we made mistakes, but we were also the worse team. This year I thought we outplayed Oak/GB/Chicago, but the mistakes absolutely killed it. Last season I thought we made mistakes but caught some breaks and ended up winning more games than we should have.
