Well the team has given up on him... I think that has to be a testament to Bowles' coaching more than the character of the players... Not to say their character isn't in question but clearly the perfect storm for a disaster of a season.. But coming off a 10-6 season you would think there would have been more desire on this team than what they have shown... The DEFENSE is atrocious.. Someone on another thread mentioned the defense as a big reason for this season and at first I was like no it's all Fitz and Bowles..... But I was wrong ... They suck this year
I think it is directly related to the character of the individual players especially its "leaders". As a former high level athlete, I never needed a coach to motivate me to show up. When you are a kid then a coach might motivate you, but as a grown ass man you should be motivated by pride. This team doesn't have the respect of each other. There is zero chemistry. Outside of Leonard Williams, I can't name one player that stands out as a leader and this guy is 22 years old.
Bowles has his faults, but these players need to be held accountable and cut.
Where is Mo? It seems once he got the contract, he became a different guy. And Sheldon is an AWFUL influence on him. I only hope Sheldon's attitude doesn't infect Leonard, as well.
Williams seems like he wants to be great.
how bout Deon Simon, last night he was just as motivated as Leo...
I'm sure you could find one or two guys, but this team has no heart and that is on the players.

Fans gave up on the team last night also
They were down a minute into the fourth quarter needing only 38 pts to send it into overtime and people were leaving in droves.

I've change my mind about firing Bowles. I know Players have quit on him, I know Players are not being disciplined & allowed to come in out of shape & not attend meetings & more. Buut its the OC & DC that allowed Players on both sides of the ball to do this. So Bowles needs to fire this week the Offense & Defensive Coordinators& bench the Players not playing hard for rest of the season! This will send a message to Players & coaching that this BS will no longer be tolerated. If Bowles doesnt fire both OC-DC for allowing Players to act like this,then Bowles himself needs to go, by not being ready to be a Head Coach. I'm very embarrassed to be a JETS fan watching Players flat out QUIT. So Keep Bowles if he fires both Coordinators & if not....BYE!
What a crock of shit! Kellerman should pull his head out of his a$$. Woody is a very good owner, he's just made some bad hires through the years. It happens. This team could easily rebound if the GM starts to draft better and they fire the HC...........
