Jets Disgusting !


I have no problems that we lost to San Diego early in the season. But, losing to the Raiders was pathetic. Losing to the 49ers was unacceptable. And now losing to the Seahawks after controlling their own destiny to make the playoffs is absolutely unacceptable.

Yesterday was a total joke. Eric Mangini hasn’t a clue what he’s doing. Two years ago when we made the playoffs was a fluke. Last year and this year show the kind of job he’s doing and it ain’t good. This guy stands on the sidelines with his headset on and doesn’t do a thing the entire game. Is he listening to his I-pod? Why doesn’t he talk to his players or coaches? I’ll tell ya why? Because he doesn’t have a clue and I’m sick and fed up with this sham. This guy ain’t a head coach; he’s a ball boy. His game plans are embarrassing. How do you lose to three of the worst teams in the year and I really don’t care that they were out west. If you are a good team, you have to beat teams like the Raiders, 49ers, and Seahawks. I guess we should be lucky we don’t travel to Detroit next week to play the Lions as you know that would give them their first victory of the year.

Yesterday pissed me off more than any game this season. We’ve played like garbage since beating the Titans and we should have lost last week as well if it weren’t for that miracle fumble. Where is the emotion? We needed to destroy a team like the Seahawks yesterday. I don’t care that they had to travel 3,000 miles or that is was snowing. Maybe Herm Edwards was right after all those years saying, “Ya play to win the game.” The Jets play to lose the game.

I’m not sure what Mangini was thinking many times this game. After Feely kicked a field goal, it was taken away for a delay of game penalty which should NEVER happen. Then, he decides to punt instead of kick it again? Why? Feely booted that kick that would have made it from 55 yards away.

At the end of the game, we still had 3 time outs and instead of punting, we went for it on 4th down deep on the wrong side of the field basically ending the game? Why didn’t we punt OR why weren’t these timeouts used on the Seahawks last drive? You shouldn’t be sitting with three timeouts so deep into the game?

The play calling was as horrific as it’s been all year. We never convert third or fourth and short. We either run into a pile for no gain, throw the ball short of the 1st down marker, or go deep which they did a few times yesterday when the play should have been to just get the first down.

Things looked so good the first drive and it stalled when Mangini went conservative kicking a field goal instead of going for it. We had all the momentum and a touchdown would have made a statement that the Jets were there to play. Yeah, they were there to play but it surely wasn’t football; it was more like tiddlywinks!

I’m truly disgusted from this coaching staff. All the pieces were in place to have a magical season but we can’t be losing teams. So, after 38 years of being a Jets fan, I hope Chad Pennington and the Miami Dolphins come into Giants Stadium and beat us. Then, fire this Mangini clown already and get a coach (like Bill Cower) who could turn these losers into winners.

They say that Christmas week is “the most wonderful time of year.” Well, it ain’t for Jets fans !
