I couldn't see the whole field on my TV. But Chad made it seem like Coles and Cotchery were pretty much NEVER open. If they weren't, Shottenjunior has to take some of the blame. Otherwise, it seems like Chad was the main culprit.
It's gotta be no. He was a part of it but there really was no Primary reason. More like a bunch of small reasons.
Chad was terrible today, but I dont see what the point is of assigning blame into any one area. The fact is that this team had a chance to m ake a real statement today, and they didn't do it.
Touchdowns of 57 and 77 have me thinking it wasn't all Chad. Defense played bad for the first time since the Cleveland first half. Chad deserves some blame though no doubt.
If I had to pick one player, it would be him, but I don't, so I won't. Sure seemed like no one was getting open, he had time most of the day, was looking up field a lot and he had to check down a lot. Doesn't excuse the turnovers. Defense had an awful day as well though. Just an all around bad effort from everyone.
the defense let a horrible qb beat them... all they had to do is stack the line....this reminds me of every year the jets have a chance....then they **** it up
QB's and coaches man. That's who gets the blame. Even during Herm's good years the fans tore him a new asshole. The only reason why Mangini gets a pass this year is because he's a rookie head coach. Now if he goes up and down the same things gonna happens to him. And uhhh. I don't know what point I'm making but.....
Nobody showed up. The defense gave up two scoring plays of over 50 yards. There was a little spark of a running game for a brief moment and there was the Miller return but other than that, the entire team stunk it up. Hard to place blame on one guy.
Oh definitely I felt the sameway. But then again it is Chad and he can never find anyone open 20 yrds downfield. I dunno but that is an issue if we can not expand the field. Our running game will never get going the way it should.
Defensive was weak. Also a VERY weak offensive game plan. Buffalo's run defense blows, we should've come out trying to run at them, and then we just fell behind and it was too late to run the ball. Mangini not going for it on 4 and inches on BUF's 40ish was hard to believe especially with the way our D was getting burned. Oh well. Next week will be very tough. Minnesota's defense isn't going to give our average back's any yards, so this could be the biggest game of the season for Chad, and maybe will define the rest of his career in the NFL, and if he will spend it with the jets.
the results of this poll are frankly shocking. sure, the defense had 2 bad breakdowns that led to TD's but other then that they played OK and even with those breakdowns I think they played well enough to win. and sure, Mangini looked like Herm on the 4th and 1 from the 38 in the 2nd half, but Chad was clearly the problem today.
Chad had a big part in today's loss, but there's no excuse for the defense letting Losman shoot 66% and 2 TDs. Also, I don't care that McGahee owns the Jets...the 29th ranked team in rushing shouldn't be able to put up 170 yards so easily (5 yards a carry). I'm sure those were pretty big reason for the Jets' loss, too, don't you think?
Our defense allowed a 57 and 77 yard TD, and you guys want to blame Pennington as the #1 Reason? COMEON. He was bad, but when the other team scores their first 2 TDs from their side of the field....
Sure the defense gave up two HUGE plays, and one is more than enough to try to overcome, but I have to blame Chad for this one. I don't know if you could see the recievers alot on TV, but it was very clear at the game that recievers were, in fact, getting open. Chad's throws may have looked like what was off today (i.e. throwing a quick pass to Coles only to have it land a yard away from him in the dirt). But it was his reads that cost usthe game. Time after time today there was a reciever (or two) open, but he threw to a covered man, or tried running, or got sacked. I know he was underpressure all day, but on most of those sacks or hurries he had guys open. Most notably was Chris Baker, he was open all friggin day, but Chad hardly looked his way. On one series he was open three times in a row, but didn't even get looked at. Once I noticed that he wasn't getting the ball to the open recievers I started watching his play a bit more than the rest of the team. And my final conclusion is that he is not looking off his recievers. He was staring down his primary target all day, and the defense was all over it. I noticed that when he did have an open reciever, he didn't even know they were open, because he was lovked onto one man before the snap was even off. The few times that he did check off and look at different recievers he didn't have faith that they would get open. The most memorable of these times for me was when we were on about the Bills 35, and Cotchery was running a route with a double move and Chad looked right at him, then looked away and threw to a RB two seconds later, meanwhile Cotchery was now open over the middle heading into the endzone. If Chad had just thrwon the ball where he was going to be (there was no safety in the immediate area), it would have been an easy touchdown. All day he was waiting until the reciever WAS open, instead of knowing that the reciever WOULD be open. He lacked the anticipation needed to put the ball in the recievers hands. I don't know if alot of that showed up on TV, but it was quie obvious if you could see the whole field. Not to mention his throws were just off in general.
