Jets Lose as a Team

As painful as yesterday was, take heart in the fact the players aren't throwing Mark Sanchez under the bus.

"We have to do a better job across the board," said Bart Scott who had eight tackles on the night. "When you lose, it is a team loss. This is not the offense's loss, the defense's loss, the special teams’ loss. This is a team loss and we all contributed."

"You win as a team, you lose as a team," (Damien Woody) said. "When you lose, everybody could have played better. That’s the way everybody in this locker room has to look at it."

"We didn't create a spark. I don't believe I had a return yard," Leonhard said. "We need to do something. We need to find a way to get the momentum back."

This is something that gives me hope these guys can recover. It's quite a contrast to the end of last season when guys like Thomas Jones and Kerry Rhodes seemed to go out of their way to call out Brett Favre. Not that Favre was good in those games, but nobody on the team was doing the job. The way to get this turned around is for everybody to focus on what they can do better, not finger point. It looks like that's what's happening.

Do you think the Jets will turn things around?

The Sad Thing Is..

Favre Actually Has Something Left In The Tank, And Couldve Made This Team A True SB Contender, But Those Guys And Their Comments Didnt Help. How Bad Is Kellen Clemens That Last Year When Favre was playing awful, he wasnt put in, and now the same thing this year? Why is he on the team if they have no confidence in him?

I really doubt Clemens would be much better at this point

He couldn’t even get it done in the preseason against second-and third-string talent, and his confidence level is probably at an all-time low. Hell, I’d bet Erik Ainge would do better given the opportunity.

I am not clamoring for Clemens, trust me

I just wonder why he is on the team. And I wonder if the reason Sanchez looks so good in practice is the fact that he is going against the Jets defense. They always make young QBs look good.

Well, it can't get much worse than it's been the last two weeks...

…but right now with the way things are going I wouldn’t be too surprised if we lose to the Raiders (I’d imagine some of the guys having nightmares of last season’s trips out west). The defense is effectively neutered without Kris Jenkins and the offense isn’t going to do shit unless Sanchez somehow begins to develop significantly instead of continue to regress. And something has to change fundamentally with regard to play-calling because I swear I could have predicted like 95% of this last game.

One thing is for sure

If Sanchez locks on to Edwards next week like he did this week, Asomugha is going to have a field day.

The Jets Will Lose This Week

They Always Lose To The Raiders. Why Do We Play Them Every Year? The Thing That Really Stinks, Is That Oakland Is Feeling Good About Themselves. If You Need A QB In Fantasy Football, Go Grab Russell, The Jets Are Gonna Make Him Look Like Tom Brady.

the raiders are a joke. i dont care if they beat the eagles. theyre the worst team in football and possibly one of the worst teams ever. if we lose to them this week we should start considering who we are selecting with our top 10 draft pick. its going to be hard to turn this season around without jenkins and honestly i dont see playoffs in our future anymore.
