Why the focus on Fitz the biggest disappointment is the defense.

Recommended Posts

Who are we kidding here the Jets last 8 first round picks have been defensive players. This is supposed to be a team that relies on the defense to win games no a bunch of free agent old offensive players we got on cheap trades. This defense is allowing over a 100 QB rating to every QB they have face so far. The secondary has to be the worst in the league and you want to know the funniest part? Todd Bowles was a secondary coach! If he cant have at least a well coached secondary then wtf is his purpose? To make terrible time management calls and stare off into space all game? Bowles got so lucky with that cupcake schedule last year bought himself another couple of years but no way he lasts not knowing how to coach up a secondary.

It's a QB league. How many times does this have to be said? And we have one of the worst QB situations in the league.

You can find defensive players to remedy the warts.

Finding a QB is another story.

For me, and I'm sure many others, it really boils down to being absolutely sick and tired of trotting garbage out behind center for a decade. Garbage. Not average. Just filth. Sanchez. Geno. Fitz.

Enough is enough.

Folks can't understand why 9 INTs in two games is unacceptable?; why a QB who is on pace to throw 48 INTs for the year is killing the team?

Yes, other parts of the Jets team are hurting their chances to win; but the idea that fans shouldn't be focusing on the most important player on the team and their hideous play is INSANITY!!!!!

If the running game had worked today I think it would have been a much closer game. Our D wouldn't have been on the field so much and we wouldn't have had to play from behind again. We've seen Fitz not be successful when trailing in the second half. Before today Forte had been fairly successful and was a big part in keeping drives going.  We were also starting two rookie receivers one a UFA and the other a 7th rounder. And no receiving tight end. Look what Seattle did with a great one.

Yep. As bad as the d looks at times, this is a playoff team with a decent QB. I'vr said it today already, I'd love to see what this defense could do with a lead. Guess we'll never know.

Every team in the league has warts. When u have multiple warts and the QB is the biggest one, you need to address it, not defend him and deflect because you like his personality and facial hair.

The defense is tired from always being on the field this team goes 3 and out more often that not 

This is BS.  KC came down on the 1st play of the game and got a td.

We cut it to 14-10 today and the d came out at halftime and gave up a score.

We were up 7-0 in week 1 and gave that up.

Enough.  Anyone watching these games can see this def is awful.

Numbers aside the Jets were in this game until the beginning of the 4q despite all the three and outs and putting up simply 10 pts. The Jets had the momentum going into halftime and the D came out and stopped the Seahawks to begin the second half. Then the offense came on the field and had negative yardage and punted. Last week, despite putting up only three points the Jets were still in the game in the 4qbecause the D came up with stop after stop.

No one should give the defense a pass. They haven't played up to expectations. But at the end of the day, in an offense driven league, our QB has led us to 13 points in 2 weeks. I'm not counting the fumble return TD today for obvious reasons.

It's the QB. The other tams have isolated Pryor and Harris in coverage. Revise has held up since game 2. The other teams have their QB audible when they see those two in tough situations. Our QB has been throwing picks particularly in the red zone.

Also he has now had 4/5 games go south on him. Fitz is still trending downward with the Steelers due up next. The D has stopped the run cold for the most part. Those picks have caused short field situations. 

Today Fitz had a 3 and out before he threw the pick to 25 when it was intended for NY 15. Time to move on from this guy.

Not gonna go into details but after 8 turnovers, D still only allowed 10 points to KC. And it allowed 27 to Seattle after 3 turnovers. Not ideal but it could've been far worse. The Bills got 17 points until they sneaked in a TD against prevent D. Again, not ideal but acceptable.

As bad as the D has been the jets were only down by a TD until the offense gave it away and killed any momentum.

The D backfield in particular is atrocious. No one denies that.

The O scored 10 points until Fitz fumbled it and CP ran it 40 yards for a TD.

QB is the most important individual position on the field.

Wilson would have put up a 40 spot in our D if he was 100%

 

Bowles is a joke

The problem on defense is that every coach but stupid rex figured out how to attack our defense before the season began and we have yet to figure out a way to combat it. When you have an aggressive defensive front you just need to alternate between stretching the defense vertically and then hitting them with short passes. The short passes get the ball out before the rush hits and the long routes ensure the secondary isn't around to catch up to the short routes. 

This situation is aggravated by poor play in the secondary and uneven play at LB but coaching has to take a huge amount of the responsibility for not doing a better job planning around and adjusting to this strategy. We're a quarter of the way through the season. It's time to figure this sh*t out.

This defense looks like the 2014 defense, only difference is that we didn't pay millions to free agents to suck.

This defense stinks. Sure they can be steady at times but they give up way too many big plays and make none. When was the last time the jets made a momentum changing big play ? When was the last time we took away what another team was trying to do ? This is all on the scheme on both sides of the ball.

Easy to blame everything on the QB, its what frustrated Jets fans always do but we were supposed to be an Elite defense that created Havoc supported by a top notch running game and a game managing QB and POSSESSION WR's. Instead we have a half assed defense that does nothing to contribute to the outcome of a game and we are trying to force a good QB to be something he's not add  that in with a staggering amount of critical drops our WR's have produced and you have a QB who is trying to be something he's not. If you want to blame that on the players go ahead but you will see next year Todd Bowles is not Head Coaching material. He was not head coaching material as the interim coach of the Dolphins and he's not head coaching material now.

Offense in two weeks has scored 2 TDs and 2 FGs. And one TD was not exactly straight out of the playbook. (Great heads-up play by Peake, i was impressed with him last night).

In one game that would be OK, but nothing great. Two games? Unacceptable.

Because no matter how bad the defense has played in any of their games this year the $12 million dollar bum behind center is worse.

much worse

The Jets are 4th best in the NFL in Time of Possession in 2016.

So no, "always being on the field" is not, in fact, the issue.

The issue is our Pass Defense is by almost every objective measure one of the worst in the NFL.

Every regime is the same bs.  Spend every first round pick on defense.

 

And I liked the Lee pick, still do but look at Hunter Henry in San Diego that guy is a future all pro tight end wtf?!?!?

Anyone watching a QB throw 9 INTs in two games knows that's the most glaring issue.  For all the talk of KC scoring on their first drive, they scored that TD and the FG off a short field.  6 more on a pick six and another 6 on a fumble return.  On a day when the QB threw 6 INTs.  Don't want to hear it's in the D
