Let The Off-Season Officially Begin...
2009 Opponents
Who's Next?
I've heard Parcells mentioned. I don't want him. I've heard Marty Schottenheimer mentioned. I don't want him. I've heard Steve Spagnolo (can't spell) mentioned. I don't want him. Why?
Parcells had his chance and left. Marty can't ever win a playoff game. And Spagnolo...he's the hot coordinator and that hasn't worked for us with Herm to Mangini.
So, that leaves two people I'd love - Bill Cower or even Brian Billick !

How Good Would This Look !
Or This
Jay Glazer was just on with Boomer and Carton, and he said he has heard from multiple sources that the Jets job is one of the few jobs Bill Cowher has interest in. Glazer then asked Boomer for his opinion, and he gave the "No comment, I can't talk about that.....sworn to secretcy angle."
Interesting huh !
Another Collapse To End The Year !
First I had to suffer the 2nd straight Mets collapse to start this Fall. And now the Jets have one of their worst collapse ever and they've had some pathetic ones before including the 10-1 start losing the last 5 of the year.
But, this one was the worst in my book. We went out to revamp the offensive line and the defense in the offseason spending $140 million dollars. We dumped Chad Pennington for a 39 year old has-been named Brett Favre, we started out 8-3 after beating New England and the undefeated Titans, and then went on to lose 4 of the last 5 games with one of the easiest schedules down the stretch in the league.
Losing to the Raiders, 49ers, and Seahawks are embarrassing. But, then with all of the above, we let Chad Pennington walk into his old home and beat us to win the AFC east (even though we weren't making the playoffs anyway.)
It's just disgusting. I've had enough. Mangini is NOT Bill Belechick so he needs to stop acting like he is. The coordinators did a horrible job. Did you notice that the season changed for the worse when the coaching staff stopped letting Favre be Favre and tried to change who he is. Things got worse.
What happened to Dustin Keller the last few weeks? What happened to the running game? What happened to our tackling? What happened to our pass coverage? What happened to the pass rush? And the worst part was the coaching decisions and plays that were called from the sidelines.
Yesterday's loss didn't bother me as much as some of the other loses this year as we had already lost control of our own destiny. At 8-3, people were talking Super Bowl. Now, all I'm doing is looking to see where we are drafting, what teams we play next year, and if this 10:00 am conference call will mark the end of the Mangenius era. I hope so ! It's time to start over AGAIN !

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 !

Jets Record For Pro-Bowl
Jets get a franchise record SEVEN named to the NFL Pro-Bowl !
Four of the seven have been named AFC starters — running back Thomas Jones, guard Alan Faneca, nose tackle Kris Jenkins and kick returner Leon Washington. Three have been named backups — quarterback Brett Favre, center Nick Mangold and cornerback Darrelle Revis.
Maybe I'll even watch the game this year !

Definitey Pot Luck !
Well, the game was lost. We were about to lose our 3rd game in a row and fall a game behind the Dolphins with 2 games to go. I was disgusted at the coaching staff. I was sick of the offense. And the defense was grotesque.
But, deep in their own end, the Bills had a huge blunder. Instead of running the ball to take more time off the clock, they decided to throw the ball which made no sense since we couldn't stop the run all day long. Abraham Elam blitzes and gets to the QB and strips the ball. Our resident pot smoker, Shawn Ellis, touches the loose ball, and then it bounces and then he scoops it up and trots 11 yards into the endzone. Jets take the lead with a little under 2 minutes to go. Another Meadowlands Miracle !
We had no right winning the game they way we played and the way we were coached. With 2:06 left in the game, we used a time-out. Why? To save six seconds? The announcers even made the comment that it made no sense. Maybe we should bring back Dick Curl to manage the clock and time-outs.
Our special teams coverage was horrible. How could we not be ready for a fake punt that basically kept the Bills in the game in the first quarter. It seems like we are never ready for the onsides kick or the fake punt this year. Besides one good punt that we got a lucky roll to get us out of trouble, we are in serious need of a punter that can punt. And every time the Bills punted, it seemed as if we were pinned deep. So annoying !
Our offense looked great in the first quarter and then the just weren't insync. There were some bad throws including two horrible interceptions. But, the offense doesn't move well when the plays stink. Why on 3rd and 4th and short, do we ALWAYS run straight into a pile for no gain lately? Take it to the outside? Call a play action and complete the short pass as they did earlier in the year. We should be walking down the field and scoring at will like we did against the Titans last month.
The defense was terrible until the lucky end when we had the big fumble and two interceptions. However, until then, it was mostly their fault that we were losing the game as we couldn't tackle at all.
So, we now face another trip out west. We are 0-3 out there. This is a must win. If we win on Sunday, we play for the AFC crown the following week. It's crunch time. It's time to go out west and whip the living shit out of the Seahawks.
Then, bring on Chad Pennington and those stale fish !

Suckin' Out West !
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.
