Tough day being at the stadium

The last bunch of years there were no expectations.

That made today tougher.

Life goes on but wanted so much more out of Zach. So today definitely stung.

Seeing the stadium packed. Die-hards everywhere. Young Fans all pumped up.

It will happen, so many good things under Joe Douglas . But dam I wish today was a big step forward.

I bet the INT return for a TD had everyone crazy.....for a minute.

I bet every SOJF in the stadium was still seated holding up an index finger as if to say "wait for it".  lol

In the past few years, we've been watching a team bereft of talent, coaching and game smarts. Now, I believe we have a team that has acquired sufficient talent to be competitive, coaching to get something out of that talent, but, in the end, good execution by the players/game smarts is not there yet. To beat the Cheats you have to play mistake free football. Yesterday, the mistakes killed us. 

Zack has to recognize where he has to change his approach, and do so. I think it was a positive that after the game he acknowledged his desire to make things happen when they aren't there is a flaw, But he has to face reality and make those adjustments if he wants to keep his job.

Frustrating to me is that JFM, a veteran, made yet another boneheaded play that cost the team points (and more significantly, momentum.) The vets have been committing most of the penalties, IIRC - a trend I do not like a bit.

To me, the worst case scenario this season is still better than the recent past. We have a sound, improving foundation of talent - still among the youngest in the league getting starting minutes, and the coaching staff is getting better after last year's  teeth cutting exercise. If Zack shows by season's end he is not clearly the guy, we let Zack, White and Strev plus a non-first round talent/vet acquired, compete to be the starter next year.

Picking a QB in the draft is difficult in two ways: it's the hardest position to evaluate, and is the hardest position to succeed at in the NFL. Swinging and missing at a QB is not the sole criteria for a GM's success. If JD demonstrates that his 2020 draft was an aberration, I want him to continue to build the team for whatever QB eventually ends up in the driver's seat.

Yes pretty cool, I also know the invader personality. The mascot played semi-Pro Rugby League.

Yeah I saw the flag right away and was telling people it's coming back. Sucked.

Agreed.  The thing that really bothered me about Zach is that in most games, he does throw the ball away when necessary (usually after an impressive scramble to avoid the rush).  But against the Pats (of course!) he half-asses a throw out of bounds (though not quite) for a pick and makes a ridiculous prayer of a throw for a 2nd pick.   Those 2 were so bad and I don't think he throws those against other teams. 

Though let's not forget the awful back-foot throw for a pick right before the end of the 1st half.  What a disaster of a game for him.  And that was after he played a pretty solid 1st half up to that point.

The way Zach is playing, they won't win 3 more games this season 

 

2 months ago you said they wouldnt win 6.

At least youre moving the target up now.   Isnt that a positive?

I did not account for breece hall being an instant star. Without hall they are boned 

And by the way they won't win 6 if Zach doesn't play better

Total shit that kid got hurt. Dude literally came into the league top 3 at his position. Kinda reminds me of what my friend Bit always be telling me about what you should get when drafting a second overall pick.

I didnt account for Breece Hall and AVT being injured but Im still willing to bet they win more than 6.   You game?

you're basically saying they will win 2 more games this year 

and the sick thing is that I'm considering taking the bet 

how bad has this team fallen that the O/U on future wins is 2.5

It's been 9 days since the Jets last won.  Take some quaaludes.

rookie year Breece Hall was running like prime Adrian Peterson 

having a guy like that who can take a swing pass to the house from 70 yards away covers up alot of problems

There are 9 games left, 3 against the Bills and Pats.  Let me know what you decide.

It's tight af 

There's 3 very winnable games on the schedule in bears lions and jags 

But yeah what the heck how about this 

100 dollars to the charity of the winners choice 

I win if the Jets go 5-12, 6-11 

7-10 or above you win 

The greatest threat to my side is that Zach gets hurt and they play a better qb down the stretch 

With Zach starting and throwing 50 percent, upside down on the td int ratio, I think I win this bet

Sounds good    Im in! ??

id wish you good luck but that would mean the Jets have a terrible second half.

I just looked my own post I just agreed to zero or one wins 

I need 7-10 you get 8 wins or above

Thats not what you said.  You said they wouldnt win 6 , if they won 7 (2 more wins) then I win.

Yes, That was a mistake. I forgot they were already at 5.

I want 2 wins you get three or more

Frankly it's for charity so I don't care that much. 

But just for the record I'm saying 2 more wins rest of the year. The bet we just agreed to I get 1 more win over the next 9 games

that's probably a loser bet

If I bet against the Jets and lose the bet that means I bought the win 

How much would you pay for a win?

You keep moving the target.  
 
First it was the Jets won’t win 6.

Then it’s the Jets won’t win 7.

Now it’s the Jets won’t win 8.

Next week it’s the Jets don’t make the playoffs?

For the final time and just to be clear- If the Jets win more than 7 games, I win.   If they win 7 or less, you win.  If they finish 7-9-1 we draw.  Agreed?
