Should have posted this yesterday but I was to mad to even think about the jets. My BIGGEST pet peeve as a sports fan is watching players on the sidelines laughing it up as the game is ending and their about to lose and bro hugging/ joking around with all the opponents after the game etc, I have played sports (still do) my entire life and I am never happy when we lose. Im not saying they should throw a temper tantrum but it would be nice if they actually looked like they cared even half as much as the average fan. The vast majority of this team is underwhelming at this point and even the players that are not playing (im looking are you McDougle and Milliner) dont look like they care. every time I see them and we are down big about to lose they are just joking around, like this team is a direct representation of you and we have sucked for a month+.... I know there are no moral victories and Im certainly not trying to say this is one, but Todd bowles was visibly pissed off in the post game press conference last night, along with a lot of the veteran players (especially marshall). Hopefully this bodes well for the rest of the season. I think cutting coples sends a message and hopefully this team is getting a strip torn off them as we speak in the monday meetings, I want to see an anger and sense of urgency, we have no respect right now and so we have to go and take some. I hate the pats but I will say I have never seen them look happy during/after a loss and they dont often lose more then once in a row. that is something I have not noticed with the jets since rex's first two years. (not saying that's because of rex but those players back then for the most part came to play) I really want to see an inspired team next week (especially on offense), or I will seriously start to question bowles ability to lead men.
Yeah? He is pissed? Pissed my ass. Ask anyone with half a brain how to win in Houston and they would tell you to game plan around slowing down 2 fucking guys. Watt and Hopkins. Yeah I know they are superstars but where was our defensive genious the last 9 days when he was preparing for Texans? I mean what did you do the last 9 days? Hopkins over 120 yards and 2 TD. Watt with 2 Sacks and multiple QB hits. He is pissed? Really? Get the fuck out of here Bowles. Be pissed at yourself. O'Brian schooled you my friend. Shame on you.
Bowles is soft. He's a little properly mannered, and soft spoken follower. He has no business being a leader. This team has flopped, losing 4 out of the last 5 and he has shown absolutely no emotion. Just straight incompetence. The bills game was hilarious and I didn't think it could get worse.But as a Jets fan you know that is never true. Yesterday was worse. This previous 4-1 team is about to end up 7-9
This team is full of past their prime vets who are just collecting a check and trying not to get injured. Multiple times on the sideline I see our guys having a nice giggle while we were getting raped by TJ Yates It's a bad situation, we have very few players on this team that are going to get better. Since 2011 we have constantly been trying to put band aids over all of our holes. We need to completely blow this shit up and start over.
I don't care how pissed he is, he's a poor in game tactician and a run of the mill JAG coach. I would fire him after this year but we'll just have to wade through another middling 7-9 season next year before we can fire him.
he had the right game plan, the players just didnt execute. he put the best CB in the league on hopkins and he let up a touchdown, when he got concussed he put marcus on him, who matched up well, with saftey help. the TD he let happen was a push off that could have easily been called PI but it was missed. They called a lot of plays where they knew watt was coming but the ball didnt come out quick enough he said so himself in the presser.. i dont understand how him being pissed in the post game is some how irrelevant because of things that happened before the post game? like im saying him being pissed could finally motivate our team.
Cardinals defense without Bowles: #3 in NFL Cardinals defense with Bowles: #9 in NFL They got BETTER without Bowles. Jeez.
I agree that the last two games have been terrible, and some things are going to have to change. However, the idea that being properly mannered, soft spoken, and emotionally reserved prevents or even hinders someone from being a leader is absurd. The best leader I ever had when I was in the Army had only one facial expression and one tone of voice, probably only said 10 words a day.
This is a dumb statement to make. Especially when they play in a division with 2 crappy offenses in the Seahawks and 49ers. Both shells of their former selves Helps that they have some really good players on the defensive side of the ball also that continue to improve. I am sure you already knew that though.
It's about time Bowles looks pissed. Took him long enough. These players needs a fire lit under there ass because they just aren't getting it done. The star players aren't even getting it done and when that happens your team is going to fall apart. It's a 6 game season at this point and we Have to go 4-2 to have a chance. The way these guys are playing they will go 0-6. -Marshall needs to start catching the ball, he has dropped to many passes in key situations. His stats are great but imagine if he makes that td catch against the pats, that deep ball yesterday, that 3rd and long against the bills that got picked off, the big pass at the end of the Eagles game that got picked off, there's a few more but this guy is supposed to be our biggest playmaker and he's done the opposite of that to many times. I understand he's human but to many mistakes for a player of his caliber. -wilkerson has had a pretty good year but he disappears way to often and didn't see him really at all yesterday. His stats were great against buffalo but there was one play i remember on 3rd down where I thought he had the Rb stopped a few yards behind the line and he missed the tackle and buffalo went on to get a td that drive. I just don't see how he thinks he deserves JJ watt money -Cromartie, is this the longest he's gone through a season without an interception? He's a big play big mistake guy but hasn't made the big play all season. Don't see how the coaches keep starting him when williams has proven he is the better option. -Snacks, this guy all offseason was talking about getting the oppurtunity to get after the qb this season under Bowles. One gap scheme and more chances to rush the passer and he has gotten a huge Zero sacks on the year. I know he's a run staffer and not a pass rusher but he's had his chance this year and hasn't proved to be a top defensive lineman and will most likely be on a different team next season. -coaching staff on Kerley. He has proven to make plays when given the chance. How smith plays more snaps then him is beyond me. I get enunwa playing because of his ability to block but when we've been down in games like we have been a lot, JK should be in there running routes. I can go on and on all day but these are a couple things on my mind at the moment.
Todd Bowles is not soft lol. A guy who grew up in the NJ projects, walked on to an NFL team and played 10 years for them as a cerebral hard hitting safety, learned and gained respect from some of the biggest hard ass coaches ever, etc. is not soft. you are mistaking calm for soft. He could jump around, yell and dance like that fat idiot in Buffalo and that wouldn't make him a tough guy, it would just be a facade. Just because he doesn't put on the bullshit facade doesn't make the guy soft. Nobody who has ever played with, played for, or coached with him has EVER described him that way
Good points. By soft I'm alluding to the fact of being complacent. He doesn't seem to have a fire lit under him or the desire to go out and get it. Just calm and unmoved. But that is much better than the opposite of the spectrum in Rex. Bowles will need a few years but damn he has been disappointing as of late. I would like him to come out and call our peformance bullshit and hold himself accountable. It's hard though when every move and word is blown out of proportion.
yeah i agree with him acting the way he does towards the media I dont think he should yell or be emotional in front of them but I could see him holding back some anger while talking with them and I have a feeling it was an uncomfortable monday for the NYJs. Brandon marshall was also holding a lot back it seemed which is good as he is known for outbursts so I would give that to bowles as he is a no-nonsense coach. I just hope he can inspire them to atleast play to their potential. loosing is fine at this stage of our teams growth but not when you lose to an inferior team because you failed to execute on gameday.
Good point. I just wish he was a little more commanding. Leaders do come in all shapes and sizes. This team is playing better than last season. We just got our hopes up at the beginning. Losing to the Texans with TJ YATES after a 10 day rest is despicable and it can't be excused. Awful coaching yesterday.
Just a hunch, but maybe that's also because half their defense isn't injured like last year? And having Carson Palmer and a good offense can keep them off the field and well rested?
We're a little spoiled too, every coach we've hired from Parcells on has has a winning season in their first year. Maybe Bowles sucks it up this year, but unlike all those others, maybe he actually gets better as time goes on. Not saying that will happen--just that it would be a nice change.
Yeah, yawn. You can use any defensive rankings you want to make a point here. Cardinals defense with Bowles: #5 in scoring Cardinals defense without Bowles: #13 in scoring. They got WORSE without Bowles. What a defensive mastermind!
Bills defense without Rex Ryan: #4 in both scoring and yards allowed. Bills defense with Rex Ryan: #17 in both scoring and yards allowed. They were BETTER without Rex. Jeeze.
