This is just not good. Chip Kelly was screwing up play calls and calling for plays that weren't installed.

Pile on the embarrassment. Freaking amateur hour.

We seem to be average to just below average against everything.

We stopped a TE once in I think it was 2019.

MFL says they are 4th vs TE when evaluating TE playing them.

All receivers are downgraded because teams are in victory formation before the 2 minute warning.

It is being reported by the Athletic that Brady pushed for Chip and Geno. Clearly he is not qualified to make these type of decisions. Hot read…all day long. Building a competitive franchise, not so much

I’ve said this a few times. Just because someone was a great player and QB, doesn’t make them good at being a GM (read: Elway. Soon-to-read: Brady)

I wanted Geno back for the Jets. I would never have hired Chip. I am wildly unqualified to select either, so I have some (it's not infinite) sympathy for owners who have no idea how to go about selecting who runs football operations. Think about it. Who would you hire and why would you hire them? I think there are plenty of knowledgeable people around, but how on earth do the owners know? Jets fans watch this dilemma repeat itself every five years with Woody. Everybody always says, "get out of the way" to the owner. I'd respond, "Sure, but I also have to hire football ops. How do I do that?"

Agreed.
Difference is that Woody has been shown to be a meddling owner who interferes (at least as far as I’ve heard). Whereas Mark Davis at least seems to stay out of the way once he hires the GM (or mega-personality coach like Gruden). In each instance, it seems like he’s doing the “right thing” (except for the McDaniels hire which we all thought sucked from the get go) and then it still falls apart in 2 years or less.
I have zero clue how to fix this doom spiral. We thought having “an adult in the room” like Carroll was going to set them on the right path, and that’ll only work if the path goes waaaay down and then goes back up again.
While we’re giving supportive sympathy to other sad-sack franchises, I’ll throw the same your way for your lowly Jets. As a former NYer (and hater of all NY teams, ironically. I was always the contrarian growing up the Jets and the Mets were the only 2 NY teams I didn’t despise. The Mets, cuz I went to games a lot as a young kid and teen. And the Jets because I had family members who loved them and it was so sad to see them fail year after year. So good luck to you and your Jets to finally get on the right track.

Oh, absolutely agree. I sound like I'm defending Woody there somehow, and I'm just looking at that particular dilemma. Woody is unreal and I really, really have no sympathy for him in any other endeavor with either the Jet or in his life. He has a lousy character and it shows in so many ways and it follows him wherever he goes. He is a constant problem, and he should be thanking his lucky stars and gracious about nearly everything; but he is the opposite of that. And he meddles with the Jets' day-to-day.
Thank you. That is kind and we'll take all the support we can get. I was really hard on Aaron Glenn, but let's see if he and Mougey can keep Woody at bay and build something great for everybody. It is my sincere hope that they succeed.
