She's already said that she'll watch upstairs away from me. Last time Fitz played, I flipped out to the point that she left the house. lol She said the game Petty started was the calmest I've been watchig the Jets in years. I'm so chapped about this I may actually go out with my wife and not watch the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part of this, to me, isn't the decision that was made. The worst part is that the head coach sees way more of Petty and Hack than any of us and Petty is back to the bench in a lost season and Hack is in sweatpants every Sunday. It's pretty damning of the QBs currently on the roster not named Fitz. Are you sure, like his predecessor Bowles claims to stay away from the offensive side of the ball.

If Petty and hackenberg are both this bad- he needs a hail mary from a rookie QB next year to save his job. He's already whiffed on two. At this point, why does Maccagnan even deserve to keep his job? Sadly, I'd burn it to the ground all over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Petty must be very bad. Must be showing nothing in practice at all. Or...Bowles is gutless. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not worried about the draft position. winning games is always better than losing. Winning creates a culture of winning. Losing creates a culture of losing. Question re: culture of winning. As a huge Gholston supporter, how come the culture of winning that was created that landed us him and put us out of reach of Matt Ryan never translated onto the field? As you say, Gholston plus two end of the season wins in a lost year > end of the season losses and Matt Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is, Fitzpatrick is starting because Petty and Hackenberg barely belong in the league, if they do at all.

Ever wonder why a few guys who wee highly rated 'interviewed poorly' for the job when we got idzik? they told woody to f off an that they wanted to be in control. I like Mac but right now he is a glorified scout one pay grade higher. Can't hire or fire coach, can't exert any pressure on the coach to play prospects. He's in a bad spot because no one is going to smile and say oh it wasn't macs fault, he will get it in the neck just as soon as bowles will. Don't kid yourself regarding the last sentence. There are plenty who render him blameless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxAF Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If the Jets system can't develop a QB in 2 years to start over a QB ranked last in the NFL with horrid stats then there is something that stinks in Jetville. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. It also answered the question of whether Petty was actually better than Geno back during the preseason. Clearly he isnt. Bowles was willing to sit Fitz and start Geno without an injury driving him to do it, meanwhile Petty cant even unseat the worst starter in the league on a bad knee. This has been one of the most depressingly hilarious Jets seasons I can remember. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 3 hours ago, SickJetFan said: Along those lines if Say Petty started and clicked and started showing everyone how much better he is than both Fitz and Geno then how does that make CS look? Apparently that is a risk they are not willing to take. They want the team to start behaving like a team and playing with a purpose. In my opinion, Woody Johnson wants to give Todd Bowles every opportunity to keep his job and to do that he has to bring the locker room together and show that the team is responding to him. Like it or not, going with a veteran quarterback is what helps in this regard. SAR I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're nowhere near being championship-competitive any time soon. You are 100% correct, that is the perception of the team today. But if the Jets can finish 4-2 or 3-3, if the players can show that they have heart and passion, that is the undo button for the crap they've put on the field these first 10 weeks. And that helps us more next year then to see that Bryce Petty is mediocre. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 He's the head coach of the Jets. His job is to win football games. The decisions he makes aren't swayed by public opinion, but based on how he thinks he can add another tally text to his win column. Which is why Ryan Fitzpatrick, the NFL's worst statistical passer, will be his quarterback against the Patriots this Sunday. Bowles still believes (somehow) he gives the Jets the best chance to win. But is he on a short leash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in light of what we have seen from Geno and Petty this year. That was not some risky move that Maccagnan should be judged on. That was common sense. SAR I Gotta disagree. It seems because the majority of posters here, fans in general, and media believed Fitz should have been signed, then it was common sense. And as you say, Macc shouldn't be judged on that. BS. I don't want someone who has as much knowledge as the average fan or sports writer as our GM. There were still plenty of fans who saw what Fitz was (a complete waste). Just because the masses think something, doesn't mean it was correct. Paying Fitz ruined this season. It's clear as day. Just as clear as it was to many of us before he was re-signed. Question is if Macc should be fired for ruining an entire season and almost certainly hurting Woody's bottom line. I can't answer that yet. However the Wilk signing isn't looking so hot either. This was a horrible year for Macc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
