If we lose the next two games...


Bronx

Recommended Posts

That would be six straight loses after a promising 7-4 start.  I believe there should be immediate accountability on the coaching staff. 

The embarrassing loss (4th straight) to the Jags should have raised serious concerns about Saleh's coaching ability. The results of the game were a direct indictment on Saleh's ability to readjust.

The J bros should take serious consideration moving on from Saleh and staff if the team is utterly unprepared the next two games.  

Seattle will present a serious challenge to the Jets. He will face a superbowl winning coach with tons of experience. The outcome of this game should determine Saleh's future, especially if the team totally busts against a sub-par .500 team. 

Saleh's putrid offensive mind will bury his headcoaching career.

Saleh already achieved our goal of playing meaningful games in December and the Jets being in the hunt. Firing him and starting over yet again would be totally idiotic and something a perpetual losing franchise does.

He's not going anywhere, but if the team is unprepared like they were against the Jags - yes, the D was awful and don't give me the - yeah but, they only scored 19pts bs. The Jags actually didn't punt until the 3rd quarter in that game and easily moved the ball to eat up clock whenever they wanted to. They would have scored more points if necessary but didn't need to take risks in a driving rain storm. But if the team loses 6 in a row and the last three they are flat and unprepared with the playoffs on the line, that is a huge red flag. They should be flying around the field the next two weeks. I do think MLF will either be gone or someone with experience will be added to the staff - he never should have had that position with a first time defensive head coach and rookie QB. On the other hand, if they win out and make the playoffs and the offense is solid I don't think there will be any firings, just additions IMO.

I tend to agree with this. For the most part the team has played a full 60 minutes even if they got an L. These next two games should help to pinpoint the real issue. Obviously Wilson has been a major part of the bad games but the oline continues to be sub par and the running game iffy.  They win the next two and Wilson will be heavily evaluated. In a sense mike white is playing for Wilson’s future.

I just don't see how in any way it would make sense to fire Saleh.  Considering the expectations for the season going in, you're basically firing him for overachieving early on and getting everyone's hopes up.  Had the team just been mediocre out of the gate, throughout the entire season, he would have been fine?

 

Some consistency and stability would be nice for a change.  We're clearly building something here.  The plan was to compete in 2023-24, so I'm completely fine with waiting until that season before even thinking about putting anyone on the hotseat.  MLF included.

The only positive is that there will be clarity of Mike White situation. He will then be 1-4 as a starter , and the reality that he is better positioned as a stable backup should set in.

OL

JD picks the groceries and Tomlinson forgot how to play football on the way to cashing his signing bonus.  Can't go crazy on JD for Fant's regression back to his normal level, but can give him sh!t for rolling the dice with Becton with no real back up plan.  Not sure Brown's play has been that much above a street FA this year let alone worth a $20 million contract.

You can’t start over every 2-3 years. You have to give first time coaches/GMs who show a modicum of competence a chance to learn on the job, improve, and build something sustainable. 

 

The over/under for this team was 5.5 and everyone more or less agreed that the goal was meaningful games at the end of the year and contention for the playoffs. Despite the losing streak, that has been achieved. Then you throw in the fact that the team’s most important players are mostly 1st and 2nd year guys, is missing its two best offensive players (or at least 2 of its top 3 with GW), and has lost a number of heartbreaking games.
 

I think idea the of replacing Saleh at the end of the year is insane. If another late season collapse happens next year? Sure. But not at the end of year 2. 

Exactly, starting over every 2 years , you become the Cleveland Browns.,

They had injuries all over the Oline and guys like Brown are toughing it out just to finish the season. I won't blame JD for this , but I'd seriously consider drafting some OL help next year as it wouldn't hurt to add some young quality depth.

THIS… BUT Jeebis, if we lose 6 straight he is on the hot seat.

I dont think he is a good HC yet.  Neither was Pete Carrol here but he didn’t deserve to be fired.

Look what he did after the Jets.

Overall JD has done a good job with personnel but two major decisions could lead to his demise: drafting Zach at overall #2 and selecting Saleh as HC. Some off the field decisions which he was part of are questionable too. Like deactivating two Jets Wrs after they popped off. 

Becton says hello.

But they did only score 19 points. How is that crap? If we scored 20 we could have won. You dint win games by putting  up yards and you dint lose games  by giving up yards. You lose when it results in points. The result was 19 points, sloppy defensive effort but should have been enough to win. Defenses typically fair better when matched with a somewhat remotely sorta semi productive offense.
