If you are going to make a stand-offish retaliation do it under the post I called you out on.

If the best you got is to call me a “kool-aid drinking optimist”-save it. Seriously. That is the lamest thing I ever heard to criticize someone for wanting their team to be successful and for not acting like a complete jerk.

I hate doing this- but I played and coached in college. I understand when these guys make mistakes out there, and you going running for the hills, want to fire everybody or “get worried”. Maybe its a former players, coaches mentality but I know that they are really trying out there and like all the rest of us sometimes-just F up. Except there mistakes are broadcast nationally for the enjoyment of others.

Its a difference in mentality. I have a former players mentality. I am always trying to find a way to keep fighting the battle. You want to tear it all down every time something goes wrong.

With regards to the trash-talk stuff. No I dont take it that seriously. I played with guys who talked trash and sucked, and others were good enough to have a cup of cofee or a career in the NFL. But on the field between these guys its not as big a deal as the media makes it out to be. Its just something for them to fill the column with between Sundays. The problem with this Jets team is they gave the media a little too much to write about, not realizing that in NY they will turn on you the first time you lose a game.

I never said after the game yesterday “oh yea, playoffs BabY!!!. I dont know where you interpreted that. This season is turning out to be a disaster for the Jets. I am just trying to be FAIR in my criticism. I dont want to fire the head coach without giving him at least as long as the last guy (who sucks in Cleveland BTW, we werent going any where with him, bet on it).

My problem with your name is that I dont come on here and proclaim myself “football expert eddie digio”. Even when I tried to agree with you, you found a way to be a complete pr*ck about it. Which was my point about you in general.

But I dont know you in the real world, you probably are a pretty good guy with a nice family. All our differences are solely based on how we root for the Jets. Dont take it personally, because when it comes to life experience I probably could learn alot from you…just not football (sorry had to say it)

The losses to Florida teams is inexcusable. We don’t deserve to win another game.

That being said , I hope Rex tells Schotty to go F@#$ himself and takes over the offense owner support or not and makes a run.

Rex’s hands are tied with Schotty, time to pull a Bluto off of Animal House: “Over did you say..over, nothing is over til we decide it is..was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”……..And it ain’t over now…now who’s with me?…..”

That my fellow Jet fans is how we go about it. Rex needs to grow a set and take his team back.

GO JETS!!!!!!!!!

On the game thread , I mentioned the screen pass as a great play call that went for naught because Sanchez did not execute it. Jones would’ve walked into the end zone.

I agree with almost everything you posted. The 3-0 start had raised the hopes of all Jet fans. We know we have a good deal of talent and we know that we should be winning most of these games but, it is going to take time for our rookie QB and our rookie HC to mature in their roles. Once that happens, it will add stability to our team and a great deal of the mistakes and penalties, that have hurt us, will not be happening. There is no reason for us to have twelve men on the field, on offense or defense. Those two timeouts could have meant the difference in the game. Rex has to eliminate that. Heads have to roll, if that happens again.

As for MJD going to his knee, I have a few points. For those of you who said to push him into the endzone — the second we touch him, while his knee is down, the play is dead at that spot. I thought that it was a great call by Del Rio. We had no timeouts. All they had to do was control the clock and hit a PAT — game over. Give credit to Jack for knowing how to close us out. I heard Michael Kay on the radio saying that he would have never passed up the points. He would have taken the TD and given the Jets and their rookie QB an opportunity to beat them. Michael, that is why you are on talk radio and Jack Del Rio coaches the Jags.

As for Bellichek’s call, if the receiver had control of the ball, game was over. I am not saying that it was the best of calls by Bill but, if the receiver did his job — the media would be raving about how Bill knows how to close out a game. Since it didn’t work out for Bill, idiots like Mike Francessa, can’t wait to jump on Bellichek. I’ll take Bellichek over Francessa as my coach. How about you?

This team lost arguably 2 of 3 of it’s most irreplaceable players in Jenkins and Washington (the other is, of course, Revis). The overall defense, offense and special teams have all been negatively affected by the loss of these 2 pro bowlers.

Also, we have a rookie QB, who alternated between making plays that make us all happy we have him and bonehead plays that cause the fans to want KC in there. And, to make a 3-4 blitzing defense work, the Jets need a bona fide pass-rushing WILL; the Jets don’t have one. So, let’s recap. No Jenkins, no Leon, no WILL and a rookie QB.

For this team to win, it has to overcome the youth and inexperience of its QB, the loss of 2 key players and the lack of a pass rushing threat on defense. But, with these shortcomings, the Jets have lost 4 games decided on the last drive of the game.

The losses suck, but saying that Ryan, who has been working through his issues, isn’t doing a good job is ridiculous. If the Jets were 6-3, Ryan would be talked about as coach of the year. This team is competitive and in every game. But, it’s going to be inconsistent because rookie QB’s are inconsistent. Sanchez left, at least, 13 extra points on the field yesterday. Nobody has talked about how he missed a wide open Thomas Jones on a simple screen to his right in the redzone…Jones had blockers and would have walked into the endzone). That’s a play that he’ll make 100% of the time, but he blew it yesterday. His throw to Braylon for the 2-point conversion was too slow and behind him…he should watch tape of good NFL QBs who always drill guys in the endzone. And, there were at least 5 passes where he just went to the wrong guy (on one he went to Keller, who was covered, down the seam when Edwards had single coverage and was streaking down the sideline…when Edwards has single coverage deep, Sanchez HAS to throw to him).

Again, even with all of these problems, the Jets had a lead with 5 minutes left and lost by 2 points. If this stuff happens in 2010, maybe I’ll get on Rex’s case. For now, I just hope that these losses contribute to the long-term growth of the team.

Who’s Rex going to beg to cheer next year when most Jets fans are priced out of the stadium? I am sick of all the loosing! We have not won a game since week 3 since. I am excluding the Oakland game because any team should be them. Kerry Rhodes blows the biggest play of the game costing the Jets the game. I know you cannot blame the loss on him but he should take responsibility for the loss. Leonhard was trying to tell him to adjust but he for some reason was not paying attention. I mean its 3rd and long 1:58 on the clock and the game is on line and he lets a TE run open down the middle of the field. Our only saving grace was that Bellicheck screwed up last night as well.

Good luck with that next season when all the real jets fans are priced out of the stadium. My family has had season tickets since 67 and were forced to moved since they want 86k per seat for a psl not including the $750 per seat ticket price. I cannot bring myself to pay that kind of money to have my heart ripped out every sunday. Maybe they can use some of that money to get defensive players that can actually stop a drive in the 4th quarter with the game on the line.

You all wanted to know why were not in our seats by kick off? The tailgate is the only satisfying part of a jets game. We used to have halftime at gate D as well til some reporter had to write about it in the Post. I miss gate D at least you got some entertainment at the game every Sunday. We knew we were going to loose but we always had gate D at half time. LOL

As I’ve stated many times, way too many, most NFL games come down to a few plays and who makes them and who doesn’t determines the winner or loser. The missed tackle, the bad penalty, the tipped ball, the great catch, etc.. You can even argue that the Jets are two Hartock penalties, the hold on T. Jones run down to the Buffalo 12 in OT and a illegal formation penalty on a successful two point conversion in the second Miami game, away from being 6-3.

Other AFC East Fans agree – Rex is the Coach you need. :) We would not argue that!!!!!

Everybody wants to drive the guy back to Baltimore already after this 5 game snakebitten slump the Jets are in. Im not accepting losing by any means but Ive seen this happen before. I played collegiatley and with guys that went to the NFL. These guys were so good it wasnt even funny but sometimes they just had brain farts and would blow plays they were perfectly capable of making. The Jets dont get blown out, they either cant catch or make the breaks needed to win.

Just look at the Pats Colts game last nite. If you watched that game the Pats outplayed the Colts and really deserved to win. It came down to a 4th and 2 blown call by the “greatest coach in the universe”.

The Jets are in what Shane Falco (haha Replacements) called “quicksand”. When things go bad, the whole thing just starts sinking. All you need is one guy to make a play, and no one is doing that right now. The coaches put them in position and they miss a tackle or blow the coverage. I’ll tell you right now, Ive played with some good players, and no player ever blames a coach for missing a tackle or blowing a coverage when you miss the defensive call. It doesnt come down to how many days you have off during a bye week. It comes down to wrapping up, body position and pursuit angles.

It comes down to Kerry Rhodes communicating with Jim Leonhard and making sure at the most crucial point in the game, that they are on the same page. Why did Jimmy Leonhard know to change the coverage and Kerry Rhodes had his thumb up his ass? Some players respond to coaching better and are smarter than other players.

My point is that Rex should at least get a whole season, a draft and an off season to figure out which ones respond to him and his philosophies, who should stay and who should go, so on and so forth. And if he cant get something accomplished in the same time Mangini got then he’ll be run out of town also. But besides Jets, Dolphins and Pats fans I know, everyone else thinks that he is the guy the Jets need, and so do I
