I can't believe you mentioned Alfred university. I played for the Saxons for a couple of years before transferring. Tiny school no one has ever heard of here in NYC.

Realize that a better defense definitely helps a QB. That is not hard to understand. Especially a rookie QB that happens to be the youngest starter at that position ever.

I get the fans who hate Bowles want their pound of flesh but this is the right move. Bowles should say the penalties are on the players at this point. If the coaching staff didn't emphasize penalties then the coaches should be blamed for them. That's not the case. Throughout preseason there was a point of emphasis about penalties. Now it's on the players to clean up their play. There the ones who will have to take the responsibility for hurting the team, answering the questions about the penalties since the onus is put on them. It's probably the better tact to take.

Bowles was extended the end of December. John Morton was fired 3 weeks later. How is that throwing a coach under the bus? Wouldn't Bowles have had to fire Morton first for that to be true? When Morton was hired he was not one of Bowles top choice. Top choice was DeFillippo. Also Morton is still looking for a job.

With all the Jamal Adams is not athletic posts, I'm surprised no one mentions how athletically gifted Lee is. His combine numbers are crazy. I'm sure his SPARQ is excellent as well.

Completely false and untrue. They ran about 50% on first down. This is an example of hate clouding reality.

Pryor was injured most of the pre-season. Probably not a lot of reps between Pryor and Darnold. Better cohesion the more reps together?

At this point I would take a Leonard Floyd

So youre saying no reason to make any judgements after two weeks? Completely agree. Juggs played better against the niners

Maybe try taking your head out of your own ass. Jets have ranked 4th, 11th, 25th, and 7th this year.

Youth leads to inconsistency. Rookie QBs will have ups and downs. 7th in total defense. 6th in points allowed. You say it's early? True, so why judge results this early.

you didn't answer my question of how you came up with Bowles costs the Jets 1.5 games a year. So the Patriots game was a full game? What was the other 1/2 game Bowles cost the Jets last season. So being aggressive because you're playing the Patriots, and letting McCown and the offense trying to score before the half with plenty of time is your example of poor game management, preparedness, and discipline? Interesting.

You've said this twice now so I'm curious what is the formula you use to determine that Bowles is the reason the Jets lose 1.5 games a year. So after 3 full seasons you were able to pinpoint Bowles cost the Jets 4.5 games? How about for the 2018 season. Was this past Dolphins game a full game or half game loss because of Bowles. I ask because I want to know if Bowles will cost us a full victory or half victory for the remaining 14 games.

Turnovers. Just to add, hard upfield charging DEs (Wake, Quinn) can open up off tackle running lanes.

By the logic of this thread, if the Jets win, then Bowles had them prepared. If the Jets lose then Bowles did not prepare the team properly. That's a pretty dense argument.
