Guys…. you get my point. 30 pass attempts based on the weather, the QB and the way we were running the ball is just dumb.

I am totally with AKA….Drew on this one.

We could of literally gone to 100% run and would of had a better outcome than what we had. Its just straight up counter intuitive to have 300 yards rushing and 6 interceptions. Those two stats have likely never been accumulated together by any team in any other game in history (if someone could confirm that somehow, that’d be cool). There is nothing wrong with getting complacent with an already dominating running game when you are winning by 10.

Come on Drew. 100% of the time? The Bills offense is out of sync, but still has guys that could rip on off (like Lee Evans did) and two RB’s who own us for whatever reason. Getting complacent and running the ball knowing they’d stack the box is asking for 3 and outs. Enough 3 and outs and they work their way into better field position and make things happen. It wasn’t the playcalls. It was inconsistency with the rushing attack and poor execution with the passing attack. Couple that with penalties killing our momentum all game, and the special teams blunders and those all add up to a loss. Not Schotty calling 5 or 10 too many pass plays.

My point is it would have been very difficult for us to lose if we just kept running the ball and asked our defesnse to win the game…..instead of our rookie QB to make throws into the wind when it was clear he was struggling.

When your playing that team at home and roll a 300 spot on the ground (even more inpressive that Sanchez was awful) and still throw the ball 30 times….something is wrong

And that we are ranked 30th in the NFL in passing and 2nd in rushing.

I feel its important to qualify all of these comments with the fact that the opposition was the Buffalo Bills.

I sure would because if we lost we should not have been doing it. Much in the same way we should not have been passing as much as we did—-because we know for sure that did not work.

AKA wrote: “IMO we could have run the ball 100% in the 2nd half. Would have anyone been complaining that we ran the ball too much after Sanchez 1st half?”

I fully believe that somewhere around 95% of the posters on this blog would be complaining if we ran the 100% of the time (or even 90%) in the 2nd half and lost.

Its up to the caoches to make better decisions when the passing game and our rookie QB are playing awful in hurricane type winds

I can’t beleive people are harping on the coaching decisions. They lost the game strictly due to bad on-field execution in the passsing game and special teams, and dumb penalties. Considering how close they still came to winning this game, you take away almost any of those on-field mistakes, and the Jets walk away with a 4-2 record.
