Sounds like I missed a good one. I was on the set of the "moon landing" with Bigfoot. We were busy turning lead into gold and I lost track of the time.
It's pretty ironic really..the downfall of Rex was putting his neck on the line for a shitty QB. Now the dude with Rex's balls in his purse is pushing him to start another shitty QB in hopes of finishing this season like he did last one. Lightning ain't striking twice Johnny.
Honestly I thought they were just running it because every time Geno stepped back to throw there were 3 Dolphins jereseys' in the backfield in 2 seconds.
At this point, who doesn't find it obvious that Rex is trying to get fired before the end of the season? He'd get all of his money, and still be free to job hunt for the rest of the season and all of the post season. 49 runs, 13 passes. Sad thing is, this may have been the most efficient offense the Jets ran this season.
So after his performance in the Buffalo game, Rex still felt Vick gave them the best chance to win? You can add this to the list of reasons - just insert it below his 1-5 record coming out of the bye week and above blatant attempt to sabotage the GM (at the expense of the fans) by not letting the QB throw the ball in the MNF game.
Because that grab was after the defender tipped the pass. Hobbes I know you might be the dumbest poster on the board but that's football 101... First day stuff
I think it's obvious to anyone who has watched the Jets this season that Vick gave the Jets their ONLY chance to win last night. Everyone but the Jet brass who are the ones who sold out the fans.
It cool that stuff doesn't bother me. We all are pissed as Jets fans so some of this is going to happen.
Watching Rex's press conference after the game, he looked so deflated and beaten I immediately thought it looked fakey. Almost like, this is what he thinks a coach should look like after going 2-10 when he thought he would be 8-4. Never seen any coach in any sport look so beaten, because they're not supposed to wear their effing beat-downs like their puppy just died. They get crabby, pissy, wise-ass, defiant, but hardly ever look like their mom just took away their Wii. If I wanted to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, I'd say it's just the contrast with the blowhardy Rex that makes him look so small now. But I don't think so. Either way, fake or real, it was depressing to each, and the true lesson here has to be: chest-thumping and waving your balls in people's faces only works until you lose; after which, there's no going back. Not ever.
Nice post, Jack. It was all fun for awhile, watching Ryan's swagger. Like he was some Irish highwayman bragging about staying ahead of the Brit soldiers every time. Until he didn't. Like Brennan on the Moor. He laughed at his enemies, with scorn, until he was betrayed, then hung at the crossroads. The hanging is just days or weeks ahead, and the swagger is just a memory.
