They need Mangold back...and let him or Baxter play some other
position...anything to get the dead weight out of there...Hunter is
terrible...and Slauson is not so freakin great either.
baxter should be checked out at RT when mangold comes back. he's got
the feet. that wont fix the major problem though. with schotty
running the offense, they could still screw things up with joe jacoby
and anthony munos as their tackles. SCOTTY STRAIGHT UP SUCKS. He
cant think on his feet. He cant see the game.
Look..with this O line you could have Vince L. as OC and it would be
difficult...they are very bad.
> 1. Biggest problem... Schotty
Defense utterly collapses giving up 34 points to a Jason Campbell QBed O, including 234 yards rushing, a 7.3 yards per attempt.
I was waiting to see who'd be the first person to come right out and say "it was Schott's fault".
Congrats, you're the first one I've seen, so you get the prize! (Disclosure: the tax on same is entirely your liability). Watch your mail.

Both the Jets O and D lines were *physically overpowered* by the Raiders in the second half, as Simms and friends constantly repeated, and even a blind fan could see with two fingers.
*That's* how your D gives up 234 yards rushing on 34 runs and your QB gets hammered on every play he isn't sacked -- behind an O-line coached by the more-than-capable Callahan.

LOL. 234 yards rushing at 7.3 per carry came off of "offensive mistakes".
Well, it must be so, because "defensive failure" doesn't even make your list!

On that we agree. Those points and the lost possession off the fumble, *plus* the four pass penalties for another 46 yards *plus* the first downs awarded, may very well have cost them the game right there.
It's not often a cornerback gets to drive the result of a 61-point game by himself.
Of course, that was the *defense* losing the game, there.
take your prize and flush it... the consistent problem with the
jets... for the past several seasons... has been their bone headed
offensive scheme and play calling. if you cant see that, you must be
watcing the cartoon network when the rest of us are watching the
games. the jets have had a top tier defense week in and week out
since rex took over.... cant say that about the schotty offense that
is always at the bottom of the pack.
Listen "Old Nasty" you are quite right on this...the D sucked...you simply
can not give up that kind of yardage and let them off the hook so many times
and still call yourselves a good D...but...comparatively...the O is a lot
worse and causes problems for the D by where they give them the ball to
defend etc. You can not blow easy scoring shots and keep putting pressure
back on your defense and expect them to hold up...they need that confidence
and rhythm just as much as the O does. This was not a well coached team
tonight...no part of othe game, poorly coached and poorly executed and
played.
Now BuRf, let's try to speak the truth.
I've never swung anything in support of Schott -- and if you can quote me anywhere saying I think Schott is a "good OC" I will send you some printed paper cash money through the mail.
What I *do* actually do is look at facts like "34 points allowed ... 234 yards rushing given up a 7.3 per ... four penalties on a single DB...."
And I reach outrageous conclusions about them, such as:
"Hey, *they* aren't the fault of Schott any more than the murder of Jimmy Hoffa or Saddam's missing WMDs."
To which you respond: "There goes the same old Grinch, always singing high praises of Schott as he helps Schott murder union leaders, hide WMDs, and subvert the defense."
No. You can't do it and *win*. You can't give up 34 points (zero off turnovers), 234 yards rushing at 7.3 a clip, let Jason Campbell hit 67% of his passes against you, and *win*.
It's not that you disqualify yourself from saying you are a good D -- it is that you *can't win today's game*. The D that gives up all that *loses the game*. Period.
> but...comparatively...the O is a lot worse
Really? Who was worse in today's game?
Was it the middling-talent O that had 24 points, 429 yards, and prodcued a 33:30 time of possession advantage to protect the D?
Or was it the "league's best D" that got crushed: 67% completions for the mighty Campbell, 234 yards rushing, 4 penalties on a single DB?
Because people here are making lists of causes of today's loss, and the somehow defense *isn't even on them*. See above.
And Schott is #1. See above. Which means, y'all think the defense actually played BETTER than the O today! In today's game? Really???
> and causes problems for the D by where they give them the ball to defend etc.
And the D didn't put the O in the hole in today's game? No??
In the game I saw today, Rex elected to receive and the D immediately gave up a length of the field TD drive to put the O in the hole right there. Right?
(How much did Schott contribute to that? I'm sure Michael will be able to cite several ways! <g>)
Then the O dug out of it with 17 points on three possessions to take a 10-pt lead. Right?
So the O, after being put in the hole by the D, dug out and handed the D the advantage of a two-score lead. Correct?
*Then* the D promptly decided to invite the Raiders to see how many yards they could rush for, at how high an average. Wow, 234 at 7.3! Worth the next 24 points.
Is that about correct for you?
OK, so then after the **defense blew this game** all anyone wants to talk about here is...
Schott sucks ... Schott sucks ... Schott sucks ... the main reason for losing this game was Schott ... Schott was the #1 reason for the loss ... I'm not going to renew my season ticket if Schott is back next year (bullshit, you will)...
It never fucking ends!
Is there nothing else to talk about? Like maybe what actually happened in today's game?? A lot did! For instance, Sanchez had arguably the best game of his life, career-high 365 yards, 2 TDs, 1 pick. Not worth a mention?
Or in today's other games? Like what happened to the Pats today?
Last year I thought it was amusing up to a point ... but really, a word of advice to some:
If after the way the defense failed today from opening drive to last, if any of you *really think* the #1 reason for the loss *today* was Schott, then it's time for you to take a break from this game. For your own sake.
As to me, as today I haven't seen anybody here who wants to talk about anything at all about football other than how Schott sucks, maybe it's time for me to take a break from this group.
There are other forums where people actually talk about, you know, football -- all kinds of things about football. I'll be happier there.
No offense meant to you, Papa, I've come to like you (in spite of you being so cruel and mean to me when we first met. <g>)
Actually, I like most everyone here. Well, usually. :-)
See ya' later.
But BuRf...he only watches the statistics...the actual game does not matter.
