In Bent’s tradition of “Only When We Win” Posts, I will be taking the contrarian side on the occasion that the Jets lose this season. So, apologies for getting this one in so late, but keep in mind, the last time I wrote a Only When We Lose post, the team went on a five game winning streak during one of the most improbable parts of the season … so … I appreciate you amusing me.

Whoo! Getting this one in under the wire this week … it’s been a bit hectic coming back from Thanksgiving.

We have just one simple thing to say.

No getting cute on offense! How the crap does one throw the ball on third and shorts repeatedly in a cold blinding rainstorm? Humor us Schotty. Run it once and a while.

Shake what your momma gave you Schotty. Mama Tannenbaum did a mitzvah and gave you a quality run blocking line and a pounder for a running back … please use them!!! This team isn’t exactly being held hostage by the likes of Kevan Barlow as the feature tailback or Adrien Clarke’s turnstile play at Left Guard anymore …

We know you might resent sharing duties with the new kid on the block, Bill Callahan, and you might somehow mistakenly think that throwing on third down keeps you in control. Trust us, it doesn’t.
