Squirt Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I believe games on won in practice not on Sunday. Bowles statement after the game that that they had a great week practice dosent hold any weight. What the hell did they do in practice? This was one of if not the worst total team performances ever by a Jets team! I am not giving up on Bowles, lets see how the team does from now on. As far as the QB situation goes Fitz is not going to take us anywhere. As much as it pains me to say this if Fitz comes out cold next week he should be benched. Give Gino half the reps in practice this week and put him if before the game gets out of reach. Then get Petty ready to go if Geno stinks it up it is time to see what we have between the two of them this year. This loss though is totally on Bowles and his whole staff. The Jets weren't ready to play after ten days off. Pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 That "we had a great week of practice" line has become an old NFL saw like "we didn't get it done". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that nobody cared that Fitzpatrick missed all of the OTAs and the vast majority of spring practices mattered not . Fitzpatrick had set a club record for TDs the previous yr and it was his job regardless and should be because the Media said so and the Fans wanted it to be so . The 1st regular season game was ok, the 2nd was what the fans and media expected which brought us to yesterday . Fitzpatrick deserves the right to stay on the field yesterday, because he's who we were told gave us the best chance to win . He's who his teammates cheered when he showed up in the locker room just before training camp started . He deserves the right to prove that Kansas City was an aberration and something that will not happen again . If and when the Jet coaches decide to bench Fitzpatrick, it has to be forever, not as a short term fix . This is why I never wanted him back . There's no upside to Ryan Fitzpatrick and this was to season to once and for all find out about Eugene Smith and maybe get a head start on finding out about Bryce Petty . Sadly, I have come to realize that any future for Eugene Smith in a New York Jet uniform is in the hands of God . From this point on, it's in the best interest of this franchise to find out what Bryce Petty can be . It's almost a certainty that the spring and summer of 2017 will be about finding out where Christian Hackenberg is, and what he might be . That is all .

Adoni Beast Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 This team going west for 4 o'clock games always get beat up. Seemingly it happens worse for the Jets than any other east coast team. Its not an excuse, but come on, a lot of us here gulped when we saw "4:25 kickoff." How pathetic our team plays that badly cause of the time / location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is he's not a long term fix or a short term fix id rather see a rookie playing instead of Fitzpatrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As would I, but that ship sailed, and once he was signed, it became what it is . It's a darn shame, but it is what it is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Practice week before KC game: 1 ) Prepare for Chiefs dink and dunk offense. Tackle well and maintain the edge for misdirection plays. "Nope." 2) Contain Travis Kelce. "Never, we don't bother trying to cover the TE. We'll use David Harris. It'll work this time!" 3) Play turnover-free football against a team on the road that generally doesn't beat itself. Make sure the young kids understand to protect the ball extra carefully in a game like this. "LOL" Fitz's performance is beyond mentioning.

What you would rather see doesn't matter to the jets front office. They are a business and will play the players they believe give them the best chance to win. Keep in mind they see and know more about their players than the fan base. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
