To me this was the game Big lead, in field goal range, need to milk clock and feel great about first half- we already saw a 20 yard sack by Geno, so we KNOW to just run the ball.... We really don't "need" 7 as much as we "need" to finish clean and leave GB no time since we get ball back at half- If we play it right, Aaron could go 40 real life minutes off the field- So the obvious calls are run right, run left, run the clock, take the 3 and keep them off the field... What do we do? Take a stupid fracking risk and get picked off- stop clock, turn ball over, give momentum, give Aaron mojo, and also let doubt creep into our retarded heads Marty can be so good but soo damn bad- can the jets ever have a really smart coach? Like ever? Play smarter - be smarter- be in control Same ole jets
Everyone has been complaining about that call, but the Jets were playing aggressive and it was paying off. To beat a team like the Packers you need points, you can't just settle for a FG when the running game was struggling all day. I liked a passing play, unfortunate that Geno got hit while throwing and it got picked. I think that was more execution mishap than a play calling mishap
After the onside kick it was a no brainer. Safe plays, run the ball, short passes, get into FG range at worst and take the lead into the locker room. Get the ball back and keep the momentum going. Instead they go deep, turn the ball over, give up a TD -- so 10 pts given up to end the half that included a failed onside kick. Was just a monster game changer and you can see well Geno was hit...still is throwing to your 3rd string TE the best option there?
One of the first things I remember saying is who is #44? He was open, Geno got hit, it was a fucking game. Marty kicked off great, but he did a poor job of managing the lead and the clock. This was a stupid loss
It was a legit 10 point swing- enough to win the game- (we lost by 7) We lost a sure 3 and gave them 7 that would not have happened with standard intelligent play calling You just don't get that adding NET points in a quick shot over 3 points that killed the half was a useless gain/ it meant nothing! 2-0 vs 1-1 Typical bs
The point is even if he got that TD, they still had 1:50 of Aaron- if Aaron drives for 7 then you have gained "nothing" If you hold it and play smart- you gain NET 3 at minimum!!!! No time for Aaron to score. In this case, we lost 10
Yeah...you've got to downshift in that situation. Still, we probably shoulda scored more than 3 pts. in the 2nd half.
I get trying to be aggressive, but that was the wrong time to do so. You get the ball to start the 3rd and the clock is your friend there. What was the rush? There was nothing to really gain giving the packer 2 minutes to go down the field if they had scored except let them get into a flow offensively -- which is exactly what happened after the int. The ground and pound you into a coma when you want them to be aggressive and when you want the coma they are aggressive.
Stupidest play call I have ever seen. Ahead 21-9, deep in their territory, 2 minutes left AND IT'S FIRST DOWN! Any coach with a brain would run it at least twice to burn GB timeouts and then kick the FG and be ahead 24-9 at half. That play turned the whole game around because Rex and MM are too damn stupid --They call a pass to a 3rd string TE instead of killing the clock with a few runs (which were working) and getting easy points. 24-9 at half is a lot different than 21-16. Blame this one on Rex and Marty--That call is EXHIBIT A why Rex won't be in the playoffs again. Dumb dips!
Which one of you "wrong play" guys would have even had that idea, much less chirped about it if it was a completion at the three and it took a couple of runs into the line and a minute to put up seven? How does big Zach get a pass for allowing the little DB to be a hero? How does the defense get off the hook for laying back for the next minute and a half? I still like the idea of pounding out a 28-9 halftime lead and regaining control of the game. Call me crazy.
That play wasn't good, but it was never the less the Defense that cost the game. The secondary was exposed. 90+ yard drive in under 2 minutes and an 80 yard catch and run....It's going to be a long season if the Jets can't get and keep getting pressure.
I think it's a little hypocritical for some to cry about not being aggressive enough in the 2nd half and then complain about being too aggressive there. The play was there, the line just didn't hold up. If that play works, the game is probably over.
I have a problem with WHEN the pass was called, not that a pass was called. I also have a problem with the personnel package assigned to execute it. Why was a rookie TE on the field and a target in the first place? Where was Cumberland? If you're gonna gamble, at least hedge your bet with a veteran instead of a rookie, on the road, in Lambeau Field. Another head scratcher brought to you by MM.
good point Cman. Throwing to 3rd string TE on FIRST down, under 2 minutes and ahead by 12 points. Parcells, Shula, Lombardi would have milked the clock, kicked the FG and gone in with 15 point LEAD and the momentum. Rex and MM foolish decision gave Pack the ball, time to score (which they did), the momenmtum, and later the game. Rex lovers, keep insisting it wasn't the coaching.
97 yard drive but the int is the reason we lost? all week we hear how they let oakland hang around and that we have to score td's if we want to beat aaron rodgers. jets took their shot and went for the kill. i don't blame them. i do blame them for not being able to stop a 97 yard drive. 97 fucking yards. seriously. they still got the ball to open the 2nd half and what happened? oob at the 5. offense did nothing defense did nothing there was still 30 minutes of football to play and the team did nothing. putting the game on the int is just nuts. its on the team that played a 28 minute game instead of 60
I had no problem with the playcall. You're not beating the Packers by playing conservative. We played to win for most of that 1st half so why let up. If that play works we're up 28-9.
