JetUp91 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Let's look back to last year. Coming off that week 16 win, on a 5 game winning streak and we appeared to be surging into the playoffs ready to make a serious run. Then we ran into Buffalo week 17, and this team hasn't looked the same ever since. - Bowles was a promising rookie head coach who we all had great confidence in coming into this season. Just 4 games in, we're all seriously questioning that now. Team just doesn't look prepared out there. He's a defensive guy, and I don't think I've seen so many blown coverages in a span of 4 games in my life. - We all knew Fitz would regress, let's be honest.. But like THIS? He went from breaking the franchise TD record to literally being the worst starting quarterback in football. I saw a regression coming, but this is just insane. - Our back end in coverage is absolutely, positively PUTRID. You could make the argument that we actually did get a pretty good pass rush on Wilson yesterday, but it doesn't matter when the QB gets rid of the ball in 1-2 seconds to an ALWAYS WIDE OPEN receiver / tight end / RB. It's actually mind blowing how wide open these players are getting against us. If not for the beasts we have up front, this defense would give up 40+ points per game. It is HORRENDOUS. There's not a single player back there that can even attempt to cover anybody. Pryor might be the worst safety in coverage in the league. - Went from tops in the league in red zone defense / offense to bottom. This team didn't take a step back from last season. It took a gigantic leap back. It's like everybody on the team is collapsing at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way you thought he would be THIS awful. Come on. He's on pace for 40 interceptions.. This is a historic meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsamuel84 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 It's the schedule, Fitz is fine against bad teams but a good defense and he's lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace the Suck Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The team didn't step or leap back.... It committed ritualistic suicide. The jones town koolaid chant started when our "vet leaders" threw their hissy fit during the off-season in support of the anointed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Bills aren't that bad and he had a good game against them.. He's just not a good quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the calculus is if Ryan Fitzpatrick beats you, you ARE a bad defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we as fans invest too much into the "flashes" that players show. We had some memorable moments last year with Fitz playing QB, no doubt about it.. but even bad players have "flashes." The mark of a good / great player is consistently doing it, not having a good game every once in a while. That's the mark of a bad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember just as many "flashes" of bad play, mostly against the Texans and Bills. But there was a 4-to-5-game stretch where he played pretty poorly. And, of course, against Buffalo, when an average game gets us into the playoffs. How people can forget that is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a historic meltdown. I'm sorry, but many of us knew he wasn't any good - 6 int's in a game, of course no one could have predicted that - but I, for one, didn't think he had any chance of leading this team to the playoffs. Which is why there was so much frustration with many fans here - the way they let him hold them ransom all off-season and then folded and paid him $12mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I do its the same damn Jets teams we've been supporting for years only the faces have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 As for recognizing this team... It's mostly the same team we've been watching for the past 30 years. Poor QB play, inconsistent, first time "hot" defensive coordinator running the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope can be a very powerful thing. Especially when we as a fan base have not had any hope with the last half dozen or so Qb's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
