I felt it was a great year after all the sport writers had us tanking the season for a #1 pick. So we missed out on a top pick. Whose to say our top pick would not turn out to be Ryan Leaf or Vernon Gholston. We got rid of older players and soon to jettison Mo. We have a lot of cap, two 2nd Rd picks. Last years draft was solid. Too much negativity. Look what we accomplished with our younger players who stepped up. I look forward to FA and the draft and undrafted players coming out.
So you're looking forward to a repeat of 2015. We will build a team that is incapable of showing up to win big games and is too stubborn to change. Todd Bowles Type Team.
We will bring in a has been backup QB probably McCown and he will play the entire season.....
Mac will pick another loser QB.....
We will have yet another top talent player in trouble because of bad coaching and be looking to move on from them....
Mac will be forced to spend next year our war chest so we will get a bunch of has beens in the locker room that will distort the culture because we dont have a coach to control it....
Same Jets Diff' Year.
Its interesting comparing Ryan to Bowles....
Personalities were different for sure....
Both had teams that never showed up in important games, both were stubborn and incapable of changing schemes....
Both didnt have a clue that a football team had an offense....
Only one up Ryan had on Bowles though was his defenses were not soft throughout the season. Even when Idzik gave him no secondary - the d-line was still ridiculously good. Bowles, a DC, has failed in 3 years to ever have a top defense.
You can say anything you want - but bottom line when you remove the personality difference all that is left is the same crappy DC coach with a weaker defense. If you think this regime will improve next year and make the playoffs you are out of your mind. The Jets havent had a real HC since Bill. We only hire DC's since which is why almost all our 1st round picks have been on defense throughout the years. You can say whatever you like, but the facts and numbers dont lie. 3 years into this current regime and we are in rebuild mode with no QB and the team strength now the biggest weakness. If you cant see that your blind. The questionable coaching calls in the last 3 years and the throwing in of the towels just compound the problem.
Btw how many wins this year have been over playoff teams - lets be real. We have a soft schedule just like 2015 and we managed to get 5 wins. So a bunch of reporters overestimated some of the teams we played...so what. The Browns are terrible this year, the press thought they would be better. The Bills imploded - the press thought they be better, Miami imploded - they were supposed to be decent....the list goes on. In essence the only possible playoff team we beat was KC....but lets be real - they havent been very good this year and they were on the road in the middle of a slump. If you figure that a lot of teams played us soft this year because we stink - you can dismiss a lot of the close games. It especially explains many of the 4th quarter collapses. The other team just woke up and won like they should of.
But if it makes you feel better keep believing...Just dont be shocked when next year is like the previous 3.
