Ive questioned my own sanity with this team many times - I enjoy going as its tradition and I spend great time with friends and family I only see during these games so for me its money and time well spent. Though we did joke about saving money and just moving the tailgate to a shopping mall or something then go home.The fact that you're still showing up........this team doesn't deserve fans like you.Every time I think they hit rock bottom....
intimate gathering at the stadium yesterday - tend of thousands of empties as its the first game where the visitors didnt have a cult following.
2 awful teams - fans literally couldnt care less except to once in a while boo. This is going to be the worst season ever witnessed and thats saying something. The stadium will be literally empty for half the season with no one caring or talking about the team. They have no product - no entertainment - no identity or hope to hang on - nothing. I dont see how this regime survives.
Few observations
The defense - despite never making a big stop or turnover as usual - held them to under 2 Tds. That should be good enough to win and yet theyve lost back to back to it.
Offense - I dont understand how it could be so bad for so long - its clearly an offensive league yet theyve had putrid offenses for over a decade - I know the answer is HC and QB and theyve whiffed on both numerous times but at some point dont you just get lucky? Guess not -
QB - I get why they benched fields - he was brutal. But whatst the point of Tyord - the guy is ancient and has no future. If your going to bench Fields then go with Brady Cook - at least you may get some future of him as a backup or something. Tyrod is gone next yr.
Where would they be if they kept Aaron rodgers? I say maybe 2 games tops turn to wins - Im still not saying it was a mistake to release him. I just wish they took the cap hit this year if they were going to stink
HC - I liked AG - I wanted him once it was clear they couldnt get Vrable. Im a big advocate of giving a HC time - they gave Gase 2 yrs - but this is different. I still dont think they go winless but its possible. I cant see more than 2-3 wins and thats only because they play some bad teams down the stretch. AG has looked completely overmatched. Zero gameplans or adjustments. Combative with the media for no reason and then looks foolish - ie: stupid question to bench our QB - the does it in the next half! Taking a knee before 2 consecutive halfs without trying to score points - he looks scared and plays gutless. If they are going to have a defensive HC hire Rex - at least he'll leave it all on the field - this product is unwatchable and I dont think he survives and gets the chance to develop an obvious QB
GM - that WR room is malpractice - he should be fired for that alone.
future - where to go from here - its unbelievable that they need to slog through another 10+ games of this but here we are - this is Kotite level and they need to clean house of all the losers and start fresh. Im really not sure who is out there or possible on the offensive side - McCarthy? I like Kingsbury because he did it before - maybe Brady? I would not let this regime waste a year of development of a high QB pick.
Lastly - Im really not aware or do i pay attention to poster back and forth - but I will say Doc is one of the reasons Ive found this thread and enjoy it so much. Real Jet fans are few and far between - especially ones with good insights - hope you stick around or at least check in now and then to share the pain!
Also, I'm beginning to question your sanity.
