RoadFan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Clearly some positives today. But they beat a bad football team. The first poor decision was the challenge. Nuff said. The second was not attempting an on-side kick when leading by 11 and kicking off from the 50. A failed on-side kick, at worst, gives them the ball at the 35 or 40. So you sacrifice 15-20 yards for a chance to maintain possession and score again to ice the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I was expecting a squib, or High Pooch kick, but not an onside kick. Field position is so important to momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscrazey Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 That was a terrible challenge. It's almost as if they did it because the drunk fans had such a strong (and incorrect) reaction to the replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Insert Patriots joke here) The Bills offense was on the field so Rex was watching the Jets game on his Iphone and called Bowles and told him to challenge..

So you sacrifice 15-20 yards for a chance to maintain possession and score again to ice the game. I don't necessarily agree. We had 3 timeouts left with about 4 min left in the first half or so. No reason to go into the half holding on to three timeouts. Bowles is a new HC and will make mistakes of course, but the challenge isn't one of them if he didn't get the firm intel that it was a catch. Take the chance. He's trying to win the game and that was a big play. The KO from the 50 was a potential opportunity for something. I agree with that one albeit not necessarily with an onsides, but something.

I agree with that one albeit not necessarily with an onsides, but something. 31-10 and we are going to nitpick challenges? the only risk with that challenge is if it's a close game in the second half and the Jets don't get a 3rd challenge. I think Bowles knew it was a longshot but the risk reward was worth the chance. it wasn't a great challenge but there was little downside given the situation.

thshadow Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 When you have a short field for the kickoff, can't you kick it high and aim for the 5 or 10? Try to pin them inside the 20. Doesn't seem like it should be too difficult... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles is new HC and folks are comparing him to a coach who was here for 6 years!!! Will Bowles make poor descisions? Of course!!! But to nitpick on phantom wrong doing is nuts and tells you something about our fan base. Good Grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The only coaching mistake that bothers me is a 4th and 1 run to Tommy-BO and not Ivory Agreed. That play drove me nuts. It's basically a gimmick play because if there isn't a hole, he isn't getting the first down. If you hand off to Ivory, he doesn't need a hole to get 1 yard. They tried that play last year a few times and seemed to never work. Bohanon should stick to blocking or the occasional screen pass/run when the game is out of hand. We can't be puling that nonsense against real teams. With that said, I have zero complaints about today's game. We won and we won big. Mistakes happen, especially in week 1. We did not play a very good game and still won by 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The challenge was inexplicable. I wonder if maybe Bowles got bad info from the video guy? (Insert Patriots joke here) I'm cool with some early communication problems and bumps. It was his first game. To be honest the Jets have had way too much luck with first year head coaches. The past 3 jabronis made the playoffs their first year and thought themselves flawlessly invincible because of it. It's time for a change, let's have some ****-ups to build on.

Larz Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 the trend so far for this staff is improvement, and good fundamentals. the clock management on the 2 minute drill was awesome. if they can shake the injury bug, adding devin smith and sheldumb will make this team a tough out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Pretty happy for the coaching staff. They had some adversity off the bat and adjusted well. The play calling on the turn overs on downs was terrible. Really didnt understand that one bit. It was like they were trying to prove a point or something. Challenge was awful. Couldnt tell if the Browns who have a great OL were just blocking really well or if the blitz packages just werent effective but I have some concerns about it. Otherwise, I thought it was a pretty solid day for the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until baseball season is over and Stoic makes his triumphant return. My regular Mets forum makes JN look sane by comparison. Of course, much easier to nit-pick about the minutia of baseball, since less knowledge of the sport is required to bitch and moan about absolutely nothing of substance. The breadth and depth of stupidity there is limitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
