What a crap two weeks the Jets have gone through. After getting murdered last week by a Denver team we didn't play well against, we looked ever worse yesterday against a terrible team.
I really don't care that the Jets had to travel across the country for their 3rd time this year. Good teams don't let that bother them.
Yesterday's first five minutes set the tone for the game. The 49ers won the flip and deferred. So, we were going to receive the ball. However, they went for the onsides kick and luckily, Brad Smith was in the perfect spot. So, we had the ball in great field position to start the game. However, after 3 plays, we were facing a 4th and 2 from their 38 yard line and they elect to punt? What the heck? What's a punt gonna do when he punts it in the endzone? And that is exactly what he did - 49ers ball on the 20. Mangini...were you castrated? Where are your balls? You are against a crap team on the road after a devastating loss last week. This is where don't even try a field goal...you just go for the first down.
I'm not sure what the offensive game plan was the entire game. Actually, they didn't have a game plan. Maybe Mangini just said, "Screw it" this week and let them play. Well, whatever happened, we had ZERO offense. Heck...the offensive was barely on the field the entire game. And when we were, it was Thomas Jones up the middle for 2 yards. What was wrong? We were playing a team that can't stop the run or pass and we didn't take advantage of anything. There were brief moments when I thought they'd get it going but those moments were like tighty whities - Brief !
And the defense was like a bad whore - it sucked ! We couldn't stop the run and even when their running back went down, we couldn't stop the backups either. We also made a nobody Quarterback look like an All-Pro out there. Where was the pass rush? I think maybe we had 2 sacks and one was for no loss of yardage. They were so pathetic that they had an off-sides call on 4th and 1 to keep a 49ers drive alive. That's just unacceptable.
The special teams stank like a bad fart. Leon Johnson runs a beautiful kickoff return for a touchdown and it gets called back for a penalty. That's a joke. Don't block in the back and don't hold. I'd rather have the returner tackled than have a penalty erasing good field position.
Favre was under pressure all day. What happened to our rebuilt offensive line? And why couldn't we run or get a receiver open? And Mangini...what is up with these flea flicker trick plays. Didn't we muff one last week in the rain? Well, we muffed another one this year week with Brad Smith. Enough of these plays. We should be a good enough team to win without these trick plays that aren't working. Jesus !
Mangini looks like a ball boy out there. In three seasons, how many well coached games can you recall? This guy isn't doing the job. With the team and talent we have, we should have hit our 10th win now instead, we are stuck with 8 wins. Things were going so well after New England and Tennessee. So, what happened since then? People were talking Super Bowl. Now, it will be a struggle just to get in the play-offs as we let the Patriots and Dolphins right back into a tie with us. We should have been thinking about clinching the division soon. Now, we're limping towards the finish line.
Who knows what will happen next year. Will Favre be back? If not, and we don't make the play-offs, it's a wasted year since we have no proven QB that can lead this team.
So, this team better get their act together. There are three games left. Let's win all three and make it to the play-offs on a hot streak.
Time to stop typing. I'm gonna have diarrhea thinking about yesterday's game.
