    OK one thing that has been lost in the "this guys sucks", "fire this coach", etc. talk is turnovers. The Jets are now -3 after six games in the turnover department. And that is including a +6 in the Cardinal game. You take that game out and the Jets are -9 in the five other games. Simply put, that is not going to win you a lot of football games.

    While the defense has been OK (and have been good stopping the run) they have only created three turnovers in the five games besides the Cardinal game. That is just not goping to cut it if you want to be a quality team. I would much rather a team get between 1-2 turnovers a game than bunch them all in one performance.

    So as the "D" has improved I don't seeing them put consistent pressure on the QB (even though their sack number is decent) to force turnovers. This team definitely needs a kick in the ass and turnovers are a huge momentum builder and except for one game this year the Jets have been woeful.

    most of our problems (ie turnovers, lack of yards or TDs on Offense, 3rd down stops, etc.) come down to coaching imo.

    Think.

    When is the best possible time to apply pressure? Obviously, 3rd and long.

    Ask Bobby what he has been calling in that situation all game.
