Personally I hope he's still chewing their ass about the penalties on the school bus..... because that's how they acted.
teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/penalties-per-game If you sort the column at the right it says we were the 3rd least penalized team in 2012. Outside of a weird game every now and again like today, discipline is not one of this team's problems.
The Jets were 20th in def penalty yards last year (#1 being most in the NFL). 6th in 2011. 29th in 2010. 27th in 2009. So I'm not sure if it has gotten worse under Rex. Yes we threw Sanchez into the lion's den, dialed back his playcalling because hs truggled, and kept in a run happy offense. We did this and protected him into the playoffs. The next year Sanchez looked much better in 2010, above average QB, and we made the playoffs again. End of 2011 Sanchez's wheels came off. I think initially we handled Sanchez well coaching wise, letting him ease into theo ffense and not have to carry the load very often, but then we lost talent around him and that falls on Tanny. The challenges are the key thing today. Besdies that, he did a good job coaching. So overall, I give him an average grade, not the worst ever
He had two of the worst challenges I've ever seen. And obviously, we committed an embarrassing number of penalties. However, this was, by far, one of the most poorly officiated NFL games I have ever witnessed. I was blown away.
There's no way he had two of the worst challenges either because we had two NFL coaches waste challenges last year on automatically reviewable plays that stopped the refs from reviewing them and cost their team 15 yards.
Rex isn't sitting up in a booth with the responsibility of catching questionable calls and deciding they are challengable. I understand the anger at losing those challenges. If whoever is responsible for checking those calls in the booth isn't held accountable, then Rex needs to be held accountable. Problem with that is, if some booth guy gets fired tonight or tomorrow, some brainless assholes will say that Rex was throwing somebody under the bus.
Rex took resonsibility for the challenges (as he always does for all in game mistakes with the media). Who knows, I think it was his call on the spot, but I think sideline catch came from upstairs. This is based on pure speculation
Well, I personally think the rule of penalizing them 15 yards in the first year of automatically reviewable plays was comically unfair. Also, Rex's challenge on the Powell run was absurdly bad. And knowing he only had one challenge left, the challenge on the Johnson catch was terrible because you can't throw away your last challenge in a close game without being sure.
Absolutely, but it's one game. Not even one that was overall poorly coached. Kyle Wilson made two blockheaded penalties in a row and he got pulled. The defense was over-eager because they smelled blood in the water, and that led to a few senseless off-sides calls. He's got a winning record as a coach for a reason. Look at this years TB team. Imagine what Rex could do with that defense. Schiano is 0-3
I hear you, but the Powell Challenge was egregiously bad: A) As a general rule, unless the game is on the line (or you are in some particularly desperate situation), you basically should never challenge spots. They rarely get overturned and replays on them are often inconclusive. When are coaches going to figure this out? Add to that the fact that we had a 4th and less than 1 that he was already probably going to go for, and the challenge made absolutely no sense. I don't care what the booth told him. It was bad judgement, IMO. Also, while the second challenge on the Johnson catch was a very close call, you don't risk your last challenge in a game unless you are almost positive that you right, OR, as before, the game is on the line.
It can be completely unfair, doesn't take the fact that's the worse possible challenge a coach can make and multiple coaches did last year even one costing his team a TD. There were bad challenges, but people jump to say worst ever or best ever. THey were bad, not wrost ever.
Terrible challenges, I was cursing the tv begging he didn't throw them. On the other side I live Rex and without him our defense isnt what it is. He is one of the greatest defensive minds to ever coach and for that reason alone you don't fire him. Marty will form the offense into a above average offense. Jets will be fine. Need to clean up the penelties
Meh, it's a minor point of contention. Obviously, calling something the "worst ever" is almost always an exaggeration. I concede that I was exaggerating. The point remains, those were two awful challenges.
If anything they should sign Rex to an extention for how well the defense played tonight. Rex and Morningwood might be the perfect combo.
We won because of him - his defense. Mike Pettine "learned" from Rex so obviously the teacher is still the master. Who's your next HC? Chip Kelly? Who will run the defense then? Don't you think Chip will bring in his own staff? Then you can kiss the vaunted defense goodbye. +1
