I know she's a big Dorothy fan, but used to have a gambling problem. That's the genesis of her name

I don't recall calling Dorothy a " she" but hey I was wrong.
"Dorothy" I still think this is one off the top observations of the year on this board unlike some pointless observations from my "male " colleagues unless Madbacker is a girl. No doubt he or she will let us know.

It amazes me that this coaching staff doesn't seem to be able to adjust to gametime conditions the way they should. They knew, or should have known, exactly what Tom Brady was going to do in that game. Why they gave him the opportunity to do it over and over again is baffling to me. If you have a team with a bigtime passing attack your #1 priority is to LIMIT THEIR ON-FIELD TIME! You do that buy running the ball and slowing the game down. When things started to go really crazy in the 1st quarter the Jets should have primarily ran the ball to control time of possession and keep Brady off the field. Instead they started to try and get back in it by getting into a shootout with them.

The Jets averaged almost 5 yards a carry in that game, so why didn't they just go with that? It would have kept Brady off the field, and when he's off the field he's not scoring on you. This is something we talked about all week. It was very obvious that the Jets needed to do this to beat the Pats, but they failed to employ the strategy... WHY? You know what the logical thing to do is but you don't do it??? This is fundamental football strategy that any high school coach knows! The Jets had success running the ball, and if they had fallen back on that strength they could have slowed the game down and taken some of the electricity out of the situation for the Pats and the crowd at Foxboro. It seems to me that the Jets coaches just don't understand funadmental football strategy too well. Any one of use would have known what to do here, but a multimillion dollar NFL coaching staff doesn't???

As it turned out, the Pats won the Time of Possession war. The won the passing war too because we gave them the opportunity to win it by letting them have possession after possession after possession. I don't think the problem is our personnel so much as our inability to know what to do under all gametime situations. The Jets coaching staff just doesn't seem to employ fundamental football strategy in order to take away an opponents most powerful weapons. If you can't stop the pass with your defense then stop it with your offense! Slow the game down... run the ball primarily... burn as much clock as possible... don't give the other team the ball... These are things any football layman knows, so why doesn't our coaching staff seem to know it?

Oh ... I don't know about that. The game could have gone either way. You know ... A bounce of the ball one way or the other :drunk:

We got behind so early (and by so many points) that we had to abandon the running game. I dig Rex, but he coached a horrible 1st quarter.

Damn, I hope we start running the ball more on 3rd and short.

WHAT???

Uh... with deductive reasoning abilities like that you should win the "Schottenheimer Award For Ignorance Under Fire".

I assure you I'm a guy. Where you got this belief from is as baffling as the Foxboro gameplan.

Exactly. And Sanchez said that even if we were running the ball well we had to get something going through the air otherwise the clock was going to run out.

I hate to say it but if Sanchez said that then Sanchez is wrong. The Jets were down 17-3 with 12:14 left in the 2nd quarter, if you start employing the run game you'll limit further damage by keeping Brady off the field and if you can pick up 7 points by pushing the ball down the field with the run then you're only down 17-10 with time still left in the 1st half. Being down by 7 is a perfectly manageable situation.

What Ryan and Schott should have done is called a TO, gotten the offense together and said "Okay listen, this thing has gone crazy real fast here... We need to spill off some of the energy from this crowd. LT? Greene? We're givin' you the rock here. We're gonna pound the rock at them all game long now, you ready? You O-lineman get those damn holes open!"

That's what they should have done when everything went to hell so fast, but instead it's pretty obvious what happened, they pissed themselves... They got shaken up and didn't know what to do. I think the moral of the story with the Jets is, when things go crazy and you don't know what to do RUN THE BALL! They didn't do that. They tried to attack the Pats supposedly weak secondary and soon realized that they're not 2nd in INT's for nothing.

It's all water under the bridge now, but let's hope they learned something from this and will know what to do next time things get out of hand.
