jetscrazey Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 You're down 10-0. 60 seconds left in the 1st half.. 3 timeouts left. Opponent has 4th down and a 50+ yd field goal coming. Any sane coach would call a timeout here, because a missed field goal gives you a chance to move the ball and get at least a FG. But not Todd Bowles. He lets it run down. And this isn't the first time he's done this either. Either he's incompetent or just coaching scared. Both are bad looks. If this team ever gets good, Bowles' strategic incompetence will be the limiting factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Jets have not shown that they can move the ball. Why take a chance of a turnover and really put the game out of reach. Regroup at half and hope they show some life vs a nasty defense. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Denver. They're freaking 3-9. They only needed 25 yards for a field goal attempt. That is coaching scared to the extreme and is a fire-able offense in my opinion.

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Seriuosly? you believe that? Because if that's true, then the HC needs to go. And if that's the level of confidence he has in his chosen QB, then that QB should be gone as well. If you can't score with a minute on the clock, and you truly believe you are more likely to turn it over, then go coach HS football (and not in Texas).

Rangers9 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I think he should have called time out. But maybe he felt we were so out of sync he didn't want to make a mistake to get further in a hole. We'll see if they can get points but they'll need a turnover to two to get back in this game.

They'd run the ball up the middle on the first play, get stuffed and Bowles would decide to let the clock run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadFan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Bowles' strategy? It rarely appears he has any strategy at all. Rarely looks like he is thinking ahead situationally. Sometimes it doesn't even look like he is aware that there is a decision to make?! I swear he is mumbling something to himself about the previous play or two.

ASH1962 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 That was the most ridiculous show of coaching stupidity I have ever seen. The fact that we sucked on O in the first half is all the more reason to open it up and take some shots downfield at the end of the half. He is scared of EVERYTHING. Add to it the total incompetence of the whole team today in being totally embarrassed by a 3-9 team that is apparently, coached to win regardless of record, unlike his group. Down 20-0 to a 3-9 team. 45 yards of offense into the 3rd Q. What a total joke. I do not understand how anyone can support this CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Didn’t work but yeah. With that said, this team sucks on the road and has always been crap at 4 pm. This falls on Bowles because as bad as the offense was, and it was baaaaad, the defense could not get off of the field for the first three quarters of the game. Denver did to us what we did to KC last week. The only difference is we were just as bad on offense as we were on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I just am really perplexed with the Bowles/Macc situation. I think it's obvious the Jets are better than anyone expected then to be this year(maybe even much better?). Both guys have lots of detractors in the fan base, but one of them is doing a better job than they get credit for. Which one is it though? I tend to think Macc is doing better than he generally gets credit for(not saying he's been great) and that Bowles is a pretty bad coach. Bowles just doesn't do anything to make me think he is even average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how inept the offense had been to that point, you hit ONE big play and you turn things around. No way Larz, that was a QUIT JOB and he should be fired for it. "You play to WIN THE GAME."

Quitting on your team and giving extra motivation to your opponent are BOTH fireable offenses and Bowles accomplished BOTH on this day. How do you look your players in the eye and tell them "let's get em" in the second half when you cowardly give away the last minute and 12 seconds of the first half? I think he did more to motivate Denver whose coach probably had little to say except, "They don't want it, so why not take it from them? They already headed for the bus." This is one of the most inexcusable things I have EVER seen a Jets coach do and I have pretty much seen it all. I hate Rex Ryan for his incompetence and his preference of slamming square pegs into round holes, but he NEVER QUIT like this (insert explative here) Bowles.
