flgreen Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Rex thinks refs protected Roethlisberger more than Vick Posted by Michael David Smith on November 10, 2014, 10:46 AM EST Jets coach Rex Ryan thinks the officials were more protective of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger than Jets quarterback Michael Vick on Sunday. Ryan, who picked up an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for yelling at the officials during Sunday’s win, confirmed after the game that a hit on Vick drew his ire. The Jets were penalized twice for hitting Roethlisberger (once on Jason Babin and once on Quinton Coples), and Ryan said he thought the officials should have called penalties on the Steelers (who didn’t have any personal foul penalties) for hitting Vick as well. “I got a little upset,” Ryan said. “In this league, they put a huge emphasis on protecting the quarterback and all players, as they should. I’m not so sure our quarterback was protected the same as the other quarterback today.” Officiating issues aside, Ryan’s team played its best game of the season on Sunday. It’s too late for the Jets to make a playoff run, but it might not be too late to save Ryan’s job. And as he fights for his job, Ryan wants to make sure his team isn’t getting jobbed.

The master motivator couldn't inspire his team to make the playoffs, but he found a way to inspire them to save his job? Remember when I said Rex's greatest talent is his knack for self-preservation? Yeah, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 What Rex fails to realize is that Quarterbacks in the pocket are afforded different luxuries thatn quarterbacks qwho are out of the pocket acting as runners.

Nobody to blame for this season but the jets no, not then. in the third quarter on a drive at the 20. it's like you can't somehow understand that the Jets can be at fault for their own season and refs can make/not make bad calls. both those things can be true.

kay_gee Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Not only that, one call going our way doesn't make up for an entire season of bad calls. yep. bad officiating is happening everywhere in general, but I feel like I watch(ed) Sanchez, Smith, and now Vick take shots that Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger, etc...never have to take without at least getting a call. the only game I felt the Jets lost due to calls was Green Bay. it was atrocious like nothing I've ever seen. all the other losses are well deserved on the Jets' part (even with bad calls).

Remember when I said Rex's greatest talent is his knack for self-preservation? Yeah, that. What better way to "self-preserve" your job than by reaching the playoffs? With our depleted secondary, we were within striking distance of defeating two of the NFLs elite team, the Pats n the Broncos. Not to mention the depleted receiving corp.

So, the narrative has been updated from "back-to-back AFFC games" to "within striking distance". Got it. Eeking out meaningless wins to end the season on a high note is self-preservation. Not being able to instill urgency and the need to win from game 1, only to find a way to dig deep when the coach's ass is on the line is inexcusable.

Tantrums is a fair word, but when have I ever 'protested' anything on this site? I think you might be thinking of another poster. I've never gone out of my way to protest something or complain about something being unfair. By saying the NFL protects big name QBs is a statement of fact. It's not complaining. You, I, and everyone in their right mind know 7 of 10 roughing the passers are going in Brady's direction when we play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
