When your team sucks!

[jets82]

Man when your team sucks there ain't much action on the board huh? Guess it would be this way with any teams fan boards or atleast I hope so. Life in general just also seems to suck as well. Man this shit sucks! :global (16)::global (6)::global (7):

An old adage about the NFL , :

1-A team is really not as good as that look on Sunday
2-A team is really not as bad as they look on Sunday


Although I have watched some Jets teams that were Extremly bad and were actually worse than they looked.

Still went to every game to the bitter end. Yea , I need help.

as disheartening a start to a jet season as i can remember..

yes, we all knew the first 6 games (at least on paper) were going to be brutal.. but i would never have guesed we would have been this inept with this much talent on both sides of the ball..

i'm sorry but bowles & his sparkling personality seems to be sucking the life out of his team & the fan base.. JFU at least.....

Nah, by far the worst , for me anyway was 1976
Yes ,worse than the Kotite years

"The 1976 New York Jets season was the 17th season for the team and the seventh in the National Football League. It began with the team trying to improve upon its 3–11 record from 1975 under new head coach Lou Holtz. The Jets again finished with a record of 3–11, which combined with the departure of Holtz before the end of the season, prompted John Facenda to say about the Jets during the NFL Films highlight film for that season "Perhaps the best thing to say about the 1976 New York Jets season is that it's over".

The only teams that the Jets defeated in 1976 were the 2–12 Buffalo Bills (twice) and the 0–14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Jets were 0–9 vs. teams with a winning record.

The 1976 season was also the twelfth and final year with the Jets for quarterback Joe Namath."

the '76 season was a bit before my time but i know my jets history well enough to know that was a bad team that was coached badly..

these jets have talent but are being coached badly.. that's the difference for me..

no ringing endorsement for the " talent" rolling over, BTW.. they've earned their share of blame too..

I'm guessing this will be some backlash with this statement but the sad part is, give us a legit QB and we're a contender right now. I'd say a 3-1 or 2-2 record at worst. May just be my opinion I know but it's devastating when you know your team should be in the mix but their not because of the QB. Don't get wrong, I realize everyone has there hands in this mess but it starts at QB. Especially when the rest of the team can pretty much hold its own. Yes the defense sucks or the secondary primarily and the offense has had a few hiccups but our team is still a 10-11 win team easily this year. With a real QB!!! Doesn't mean they would be a SB caliber team but a contender atleast. With all the QBs on our roster, including Fitz it appears we're a 7-8 win team. Sucks, just really sucks!

Note: I would like to think our chances would be better with Petty or even Geno but if they were, I have to believe either one would be playing right now.

fitpatrick has been awful the last couple of weeks, no question.. but many, if not literally all of us here thought this was going to be a top 5 defense this season.. it won't be.. most of that (as far as the players at least) is on the secondary.. that said, I'm sick of our DL continuing to be "all world" strictly on paper!!

think it's also fair to put bowles in the underachieving mix as well.....

First of all, life doesn't suck. Life is way more than a football team.

Regarding the season, it's 1/4 of the way done. Lots can happen between now and the last game of the season. This team has talent. There's still time to make a run.

I'm not giving up yet.

Most definitely Bowles has underachieved. However; there are distinct examples of teams with so-so to horrible defenses this year and their teams are still winning. Mainly because of their QB. Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders to name a few. There are also teams that aren't doing so well but the QB has still made them relevant and gave them a chance to win. Colts and Chargers for example. Our case is the exact opposite. Yes our defense has falling short and it doesn't appear to be top notch as we all thought but it's better then any of these teams I mentioned. If we had a real QB that would compete and help this team put up some points, that would take the pressure off the defense and help make them look better. Look at what they did to the Bills week 2, week 1 was a close nail biter we should have won. The Chiefs game was a annihilation and with all the TOs, I don't think the defense could have done much with that. I haven't watched the Seahawks game but it appears they definitely didn't do their part there either.

First of all, that was just a figure of speech and it wasn't meant literally. Especially because of a football team sucking. Second, you believe what you want. To each his own but the season is done. IMO anyway! The Jets will lose the next three out of four games (Steelers, Cardinals, Browns and Ravens) if I'm correct. Then the last 8 games they probably lose about 4 of those also. Which would make our record 6-10. I give us 8 games at best.

 

[Fudbutter]

Assuming that the division is out of reach after Sunday, the season comes down to 2 games: Nov. 27 and Dec. 24

 

[Mainejet]

There's so many out there that claim that the season is over. When you're 1-3, you're chances of making the playoffs are miniscule. I get all that.

However, that mold could easily beaten. There is 12 more games. So anything is possible. I remember the Houston oilers starting off 0-5 one season and finished up 11-5. So all the nonsense about it not being possible is a crock of shit. The Jets just need to do it and I do think they can do it.

The problem for me is the QB spot, secondary, linebackers, OC, DC, and HC. Did I leave anything out? Is there anything left? This team has played so poorly in both areas that we thought were areas for concern and in areas we never figured were areas to be worried about. In other words, the CS has an absolutely DREADFUL job preparing this team for games. When your problems start at the top, the team is almost guaranteed to never fall in line.

So for me and knowing how little confidence I have in Todd Bowles, I am 90% sure the season is over for this team.

 

[skop]

If Bowles & our DC can get coverages Fixed + tackle better, and we can infuse a spark into the Offense, be it through the running, or passing game...This team can turn things around in a hurry.

On D...Cincy laid the blueprint. We can get exposed by RBs out of the backfield, TE's off of the line & WR screens.

*Presecription...stop the constant blitzing. Put a spy on the RB & #25 on the TE at all times. Rush 4- #96, #92, #99, and #91 can get there, and I say let them especially if targets are covered.
BTW, if you don't blitz every down, you might just catch someone off guard when you do.

On O...Forte is a glider, not a pounder- he'll get yardage in bunches, but needs the passing game to be working to get his holes. Fitz needs a pounder to get yards to establish himself. In short, we have a quandry!

*Prescription...play some no-huddle from the gun. Get Fitz going with some easy strikes, and Forte will see the DLine getting nice and soft...and they will be less inclined to chase him or #29 out of the backfield.

I can see this team getting things turned around very quickly, and as bad as we've been, I can see the antithesis of that happening too.

 

[jets82]

Let's all hope F-ints-Patrick can turn things around and quickly. If he can we will see a different team this Sunday and the rest of the year. Not saying they still will win this week but it will be a battle to the end atleast. I personally don't see it coming out of F-ints-Patrick but if he does turn it around, I'll be the first to give him his props. Now I must admit, I don't even want to see a turn around in him. I hope he throws 10 ints and fumbles 5 times, this week alone and then they will have no choice but to go to Petty or Geno. If not this week, then a combination of the next two weeks so a switch can be made by the Browns game.

I'm tired of this shirade of this team playing garbage at QB and not giving our youngsters a chance to see if they can get it done. Problem with that is and I have to believe the coaches are smart enough to see what we can't. In other words, if Petty, Geno or Hack had potential and were ready, I have to believe one of them would be playing right now. The coaches have to be smart enough to see this and being that neither of them are playing right now it tells me that they either aren't ready or just don't have it period. Now we all now that Geno just don't have it. So maybe Petty and Hack just aren't ready. Let's hope for that instead they just don't have it!

LOLz i did say "a bit before my time.."

i really started getting into football/the jets when we drafted freeman..

It's surprising. Usually, misery brings the Jets fans out of the woodwork. I'm shocked it has been this quiet.

I think us fans are tired of arguing with each other over this team. No matter what they still suck. So what difference does it make what our opinions are or what we argue or debate about. Just seems like waisted energy now.

While this ain't the worst yet team I've seen in my 52 years of watching they are just not a good club. Their QB play is in the bottom quarter of the NFL and on defense they do not put pressure of the opposing QB. Those are bad recipes for success in the NFL. Fitz had his career year last year mainly because we had the easiest schedule against the pass in the NFL. And say what you want about the defensive backfield and they have not played well but our front four does not generate enough heat. Today was the worst yet. Ben had forever to survey the field and could have picks his 4th option. A shame, three first rounders.

Basic issue, and I'm just calling it like I see it, is we just do not have enough clutch impact guys, our coaching is suspect and we desperately need a QB. We are what our record is.

I would strongly consider giving the next in line a chance to start. Perhaps we hit lightning. I'd rather do that then see a 5-10 season and not knowing who is at the helm next year.

How long for pitchers and catchers?
