In the Patriots game, Mangini went into a shell the final 2 minutes of the first half if you actually watched it. Mangini DID make an adjustment obviously, he decided to change what was working, to, as he puts it, "play the percentages" and try to blow the game. Also if it's the players, I find it ironic that the coaches and other players in this league, who are responsible for 2/3 of the votes, voted the Jets the most of any team into the Pro Bowl. For such crappy players, the rest of the league sure thinks highly of them. Unless of course the posters on this board that blame the players know more than the other players and coaches in the NFL. I guess that is possible.
Well I have to believe there are at least a few players on the team who are intelligent enough to recognize poor gameplanning when they see it. This team has more talent than most teams they have faced, yet almost every offense they have faced this year has lit them up......including several subpar QBs. There's a reason why teams like Miami can go from 1-15 to 9-5 from one year to the next. You can cite the arrival of a few new players but the key is proper gameplanning.
The coaches are decendents of Parcells? The season has been a huge success? Most of us are a bunch of morons?
"The coaches are decendents of Parcells?" I'm not sure if you are trying to be witty here and are merely pointing out that no current coach on the Jets' coaching staff is a BIOLOGICAL descendant of Parcells OR if you are actually ignorant of the fact that several of the coaches on the Jets' coaching staff have WORKED DIRECTLY FOR PARCELLS (A guy named Eric Mangini, being the prime example) while others AT LEAST come from the Parcells' coaching tree. I'll assume that the latter isn't the case. "The Season has been been a huge success?" I wrote that his post had a lot of truth in it. I did not write, however, that I believed his post was ENTIRELY truthful or ENTIRELY accurate. Much More importantly, HOWEVER, the overall evaluation of this season is IMPOSSIBLE to do with still two games remaining in the REGULAR season. If the Jets beat a 3 win team this weekend and follow that up by beating a Dolphin team at home the last week of the season that most people agree they are better than, it will be very hard to argue that this season wasn't a success. (i.e. It would be hard to argue that an 11 win team that won it's division and hosted a playoff game didn't have a successful year - Particularly since that organization is one that had only won 4 division championships coming into this season. Since I, myself, believe that the Jets will win their last two games and clinch the AFC East title, I therefore also believe that this season will have been a successful one by the time it comes to an end. But only time will tell. "Most of us are a bunch or Morons?" Keep in mind that I consider myself a member of that "Us" group you write of . . . but honestly, YES.
First off, I'm going to say that I don't know enough about football, or what goes on inside Jets practices, to really be sure if this is true or not. With that caveat, I'm still going to say that what Jet cane said (below) is probably true. Each "side" is responsible to some degree. These players may be correct, but on the other hand I think the significant number of missed tackles, etc. pretty much speak for themselves.
The playcalling after we got that big lead in the Pats game was fucking atrocious. And what about the prevent defense? Talk about a CS playing scared . . .
