So it was the O-Line after all?

    If they truly packed it in, Rex needs to GTFO.

    Watching the game, I didn't get that impression.

    What's crazy about Sanchez and McElroy today is their terrible internal clock. You know your o-line and WRs are suspect, why hold on to the ball for so long. Throw it away!!! It's annoying to watch.

    They gave up bud. No constructive conclusions can be made from this game.


    11 sacks is unacceptable.

    Please.. That would be counted as incomplete and hurt the stats.

    Seriously, can Jets start Jeremy Kerley as QB for the last game?

    You honestly don't think this team packed it in? 11 sacks and you think that was their best effort out there?

    I like Rex but these guys have quit on him, and quit on the Jets.

    People here are blaming the o-line (and rightly so), but IMO the biggest thing today's game proves is how poor our WR are. It's pretty obvious that Sanchez doesn't mind throwing into triple coverage, while McElroy showed he'd rather hold onto the ball and take the sack.

    Gannon pointed out numerous times during the telecast that no Jets receiver was consistently getting open.

    I didn't get that impression either. Just because we lost doesn't mean we mailed it in.

    It's slightly understandable with our #1 and #2 wide receivers out that the #3 onwards would struggle but it shows the lack of depth and awareness of that position ever since the end of the 2010-2011 season.

    I agree with this completely. GMAC took the sack over forcing a bad throw and turning it over. If Mark had started today, my guess is the Jets would have had a shit ton of TO's and gotten blown out early.

    Really, either way, the O is screwed.

    So what do you do ?...

    Give Gmac the last game. Sign a FA QB and Draft O-line(Benching sanchez for the year)

    or

    Give Sanchez a starting job next year draft a O-line and pray he throws 25-30 TD's.

    Nobody was open in the secondary either, that didn't help.

    Good. I thought McElroy played well given the circumstances. Smart ball control is what we need to get on the right track. I'd rather us take a sack, then to give the team the other ball time after time again.

    I would buy that if the Oline looked good for the majority of the year but they have struggled all year and it showed even more with Gmac because of his inexperience.

    You can not blame all of those sacks on the Oline either, it is a huge combination of miss function for this offense. Just look at it as a whole..

    Gmac - First career start, inexperienced, held on to the ball way to long all game. Mainly because his WR could not get open.

    WR - Could not get open all game. Kerley and Edwards were consistently getting bracketed and the rest of the team could not get open except for the occasional check down.

    OL - Awful performance. They have played bad all year, thank God Sanchez took all the heat for that unit, otherwise we all would be talking about this horrible unit much earlier in the year. They've been horrible all year.

    TE - No real pass catching threat with Keller missing and backup TE's are not going to help your offense out very much to begin with.

    Honestly I thought the RB's did the most work today, even when the holes were not there they were breaking a decent amount of tackles and fighting for every yard they could.

    Needless to say, our offense has been shit all year and having Gmac in there has exposed that fact even further. Like it or not..

    It has nothing to do with a team quiting, that is bullshit. They just got beat up, simple as that.

    Maybe it's just me but I haven't had much of an issue with the play calling this season. IMO it was more execution and lack of talent. The only play calling issues I've had this season have been the overall conservative nature at the end of first halves but that's a reflection of our head coaching not trusting the offense, more specifically his QB.

    I got the feeling all game long that the O line was just going through the motions.

    It was a typical stinker with a rook QB. Bad game by the OL and some indecision by Mac. I thought he protected the ball better than Samchez lol
