    Giving up 10 points is hardly exposed considering the starting field position for KC. I do think that they weren't prepared whatsoever and came out flat but I would hardly call them out for being exposed.

    Idk ask the front office. I knew we weren't about to do shit anyway. Rather move on from Fitz, to Geno for the contract year. If he shits the bed then onto Petty. Hurry this process TF up.

    Remember when the Pats got absolutely throttled by the Chiefs, and then went in cruise control all the way to the Superbowl?

    Huge losses happen, but it doesn't destroy a season.

    That being said, playoffs is looking very difficult.. clearly.

    You know what does destroy a season? Crappy quarterbacks that cost us $12m in cap space.

    A huge loss is WAY different than what happened yesterday. This is not even comparable to the 45-3 loss to the Pats a few years back. 6 INTs by your starting QB is WAY worse than a huge loss. That shit just doesn't happen. If it does you should cut your QB immediately.

    As I said earlier, Namath had 3 6 pick days, would you have cut him?

    I hate to disappoint you, but we're going 10-6.
    3-3 after the first six, and then a parade of teams that are less talented than we are.

    Need to win home games and a few others. Don't turn it over and make some downfield plays and it is just like they drew it up. If Fitz can't deliver we will know it is time for a change. History says he will be fine in this spot. We will see.

    You look at things on a even playing field. Back then while it was uncommon it wasn't astronomical. 18 times a QB threw 6 or more INT's in a 10 year span ~. Since 1996 its only happened 8 times. IN 20 YEARS ONLY 8 TIMES.

    Sixpatrick is like 2-8 for the Jets when the other team scores 20 or more. He's like 7-52 all time. He was barely a 7th round pick. He is a career journeyman and is a bum. Namath, Favre, Manning all threw 6 INT's. But they were also 1st round picks. Their teams were tied to them. We are only tied to Sixpatrick because of a terrible bluff.

    The 3 QB's I listed above all won super bowls (Namath threw 6 INT's before his SB) before their 6 INT day. Namath wasn't that great but he made it work. Comparing Sixpatrick to anyone worth a damn is a mistake.

    that's the thing, we all knew how brutal out 1st 8 weeks were. Most fans felt if we can get out of the 1st half at 4-4 or even 3-5 that we would be OK for a playoff run, 1 loss and everyone changes that

    realistically were tied to him because sanchez and geno didn't pan out and there wasn't a better option available

    I hope that decision doesn't burn this regime in the future.

    I hope it does honestly. It wasn't rocket science to realize how EASY our schedule was last year. It was laughable. We had our chance and Sixpatrick fell right on his face. I don't know wtf you bring that bum back. Especially considering any semi-decent defensive mind has figured him out already.

    He has the weakest arm out of any starting QB in the league. You look at our schedule and see that on paper we could potentially be 2-6. Sixpatrick doesn't have a damn thing to play for. He thought he was deserving after beating 2 TEAMS WITH A WINNING RECORD last season.

    Sixpatrick was 1 game away from something he hasn't seen in 11 seasons. Something Marshall has never seen either. The real Sixpatrick comes rolling out. Paying him is all he wanted. If anyone disagrees you just look at the career milestone he almost achieved but decided to throw out the window week 17.

    Geno however does have something to play for. Disrespected, scorned, had to sit out a whole season. Had his team taken away. Now he is in a contract year. Based off desire alone you give Geno a chance. If he blows then we 1000% know and on to Petty. At least we wouldn't have to deal with this inevitable bullshit with the career-back up Sixpatrick.

    Jets can't give up on Ryan Fitzpatrick despite poor game vs. Chiefs


    KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Football isn’t astrophysics or applied mathematics. It’s a simple game complicated by NFL types, who believe splitting the atom can’t hold a candle to deciphering zone blitzes. Somewhere along the way, watching game film became more difficult than curing cancer.

    The sport reduced to simplest terms centers on one question: Can you trust your quarterback?

    Scouts search far and wide for someone who can handle the rigors of playing the most pivotal position in team sports. People lucky enough to find franchise signal callers are hailed geniuses (see: Belichick, William). Everyone else is screwed.

    The Jets have been screwed for many years.

    Tough for Jets to trust Ryan Fitzpatrick after Week 3 debacle

    Ryan Fitzpatrick was supposed to provide short-term hope, a belief to a star-crossed franchise that has employed its fair share of scrub quarterbacks that maybe this would be a special season. His highly productive 2015 campaign spawned a cool nickname, but the questioned always remained: Can you trust FitzMagic?

    Ten days after Fitzpatrick excoriated Rex Ryan’s defense, the veteran gave every doubter he’s had in his winding career reason to gloat with a nightmarish six-interception performance in the Jets 24-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    “It’s hard. It hurts,” said Fitzpatrick, who went 20-for-44 for 188 yards and an 18.2 QB rating to go along with his career high in picks. “It hurts for me to play that poorly, but unfortunately and fortunately, I have played bad before and I know how to rebound for it.”

    It’s silly and disingenuous to sugarcoat it: Fitzpatrick was terrible. He stunk up the joint in the first half and in critical moments in the red zone when the game was not yet lost in the second half before a few more late picks made the stat-line look like an unmitigated disaster.

    Ryan Fitzpatrick throws six interceptions in Jets' 24-3 loss

    Fitzpatrick is still the best person to help the Jets (1-2) break their five-year playoff drought. He’s the leader. Sometimes leaders have miserable days.

    Can the Jets continue to trust this guy as their quarterback after his Week 3 disaster against the Chiefs?
    (Peter Aiken/Getty Images)
    Sure, some will resort to the “same ol’ Fitz” narrative that is convenient in the wake of a performance like this. They’ll point to the mistakes and look for a tombstone. They’ll crush him and put him in a box like they always have. He’s a journeyman for a reason, they’ll say, because that’s what they always say.

    There’s no escaping that Fitzpatrick, like just about everyone else employed by Woody Johnson, wasn’t good on this day. Did he stink Sunday? He stunk Sunday.

    Does that mean it’s time for Todd Bowles to abandon ship? Don’t be stupid.

    Fitzpatrick is resilient. He sputtered in a Week 11 loss in Houston last year only to lead the Jets on a late-season five-game surge that included 13 touchdowns and one interception.

    “The trust is the same,” said Todd Bowles, who made it clear that no quarterback change is on the horizon. “He had a bad day at the office. Last week, he had a great day at the office.”

    Fitzpatrick must have selective amnesia if he’s going to have any chance of navigating the Jets through the second half of a brutal six-week start to the season that includes the Seahawks, Steelers and Cardinals. Who would want to remember a second half that included five interceptions, including three in the end zone and two from inside the Kansas City 10 when the game was still salvageable?

    Who would want to remember that the Jets last five possessions ended with an interception?

    “We still believe in Fitzy,” said Darrelle Revis.

    Fitzpatrick turns in one of the worst performances of his career on Sunday with six interceptions.
    (LARRY W. SMITH/EPA)
    Fitzpatrick’s six picks tied him with Joe Namath for most interceptions in a game (Broadway Joe did it three times). The most troubling/ maddening/frustrating part of the afternoon was the Jets’ red-zone woes: 0 for 4.

    “We got to make tough plays and tough catches for him,” said Brandon Marshall (3 receptions on 10 targets for 27 yards). “He believes in us. He’s going to give us a chance. And when he does, we can’t make him look bad.”

    In fairness, everyone made everyone look bad on this day. It was an equal-opportunity disappearing act that resulted in a foul stench in the air.

    “It wasn’t just Ryan,” Bowles said. “It was just a shi--y gameplan. Shi--y execution. It was shi—y all around.”

    Fitzpatrick’s first-quarter interception on a pass intended for Jalin Marshall was the first of the Jets’ eight-turnover nightmare. He followed that up with a pair of crushing picks on poor decisions from inside the Kansas City 10-yard line.

    “You guys can write whatever you want about me or say whatever you want about me, but I’m going to always be out there fighting,” Fitzpatrick said. “I want to be the guy that guys look to. I want to continue to fight out there and just make sure that everybody believes in me.”

    0-2 against Cincy and KC will bite us later on in the season if we happen to turn it around.
