Broncos 17 Jets 13: Season Spirals Out of Control in Denver

were not called all game

Seems like Hunter gives up at least 1 sack a game then looks lost and gives his usual stupid ass comment about the O line

Sanchez needs to show up to press conferences and games with a paper bag over his head. That was terrible for me to watch.

We all know the team has flaws, but it was a team that won games last year. I think it can be that team again, and we have the rest of the season to try and prove it. The Jets play better when no one believes, so now we got that.

We can see the problems (I think BS and Hunter are the biggest), so they can be addressed. Hell, if this is the Jets at it’s worst then we are fine. This was a trap game that we lost and now we just win out and see what happens.

McElroy's thumb has to be healed by now...

Imagine how good this team could be with just an average offense

John Fox: “10 points on an elite defense? S*&% my D*&%!”

Thinking that the Jets can stay in the mix is not blind hope.It is perfectly logical hope. It is a look at the other teams competing for that sixth seed. Cincy is going to lose a lot of games down the stretch, especially now that they’ve lost Leon Hall. The AFC West will beat up on each other and there’s just as good a chance that we end up tied with San Diego for that final spot as there is of ending up tied with a team that holds the edge over us. This team has lost some heartbreakers. They are closer to done than they were five hours ago, but not done yet.

Hopes Norv Turner gets fired after this season and maybe if we put something in his drink he’ll sign with us

Well anyway, I’m gonna go play some Madden and kick the crap out of the Pats. That always makes me feel better…

in that spot. Let Tebow try and complete a pass. Smith effed it up, and he is terrible, but the blitz call was idiotic.

Tebow didn’t throw for 300 and 3 TDs, but my sinking feeling is nonetheless vindicated, albeit in a much worse way than I envisioned (bobthesnapplelady and melrenee, your humble pie is served).

Don’t get me wrong, I love this team. But anyone who has watched this fiasco of a franchise for any length of time can predict exactly what wil happen.

This team is no different than under Paul Hackett (the king of 3rd and 14 draws, or quick outs to wide receivers in the flat for zero yards or less) and Herm Edwards/Eric Mangini (D plays well but can’t make a stand when the game is on the line).

Knocking the Jets players is one thing, put ripping Denny’s waitresses is going way too far!

Honestly — and I never thought I’d be the one to say this — I think we’re overreacting a bit. The Jets are still in a very suitable position to make the playoffs. Was this a bad loss? Without a fucking doubt. But we do have to take account of the circumstances.

This was a team that flew into Denver (I know it’s been harped on ad nauseum, but: Don’t forget about the altitude) just three days after a night game. This is a team that had a few key players either hobbled or out. Are those sufficient excuses to reason to a Tebow-led Broncos team? No. But it’s still November.

I’m far from the optimist — in fact, some have criticized me for holding onto my SOJ foundation for too long — but I still expect this team to make the playoffs. And, believe it or not, I still think that this team can compete in the playoffs. They’re certainly going to have to improve, but they have the personnel to beat an Oakland, a Houston or even a Pittsburgh.

I know it’s in our nature to push the eject button, but let’s put things into focus and pump the brakes a little. We’ll see what happens.

Too many flaws, not enough coaching. That’s the reality of the situation. We’ll likely pound the frauds in Buffalo with the long week and coming home, but it’s not going to change anything. And to think, just 11 days ago we were the big and bad guys who were going to take out the reeling Patriots who had just lost to 2 teams better than us. What a flip.

I would only add that Eric Smith not only blew contain (like a freakin retard), but then he caught up to Tebow at the 5 and missed the tackle to save a TD. In short, Eric Smith stinks. Dude blew assignments ALL NIGHT LONG. This was an offense tailor-made for his skillset and he flat-out stunk up the joint.

Its time to rip that “C” off his chest and sit his ass on the bench and take a look at what the youngins got.

I thought Schotty actually called a pretty good game last night and played to the strengths of his team as best he could. Yeah the direct snap was a bad call, but if Joe catches it we can at least punt and pin them deep. And yes, you’d like to see McKnight on some more edge runs but your 2 best run blockers (Mangold and Moore) are inside, and your 2 worst blockers (Hunter and Mulligan) are on the outside.

And to top it off, he’s gotta work with Sanchez and all of his obvious limitations.

There’s absolutely no chance you can justify that play to me. None. A fake spike smoke pass to Keller with clear man coverage over him was absolutely dumb. If Champ didn’t make the play at the LOS, him or one of the other 3 Broncos over there would’ve after like 3 yards. Spike it, run a regular play, get 8-10 yards and put Folk in a range where he’s at least hit a FG before.

does anyone think it is coincidence that Alex Smith all of a sudden looks like a decent NFL QB or that he finally has a good coach? It is essential for any young QB to be coached up and if we dont get a good OC and QB coach Sanchez will never have the chance to be the QB that we need.

Rex didn’t get the entire team ready to play – only the D showed up. Great scheme on D, bad tackling at the wrong times, poor execution in critical situations, and play calling that allowed an inferior team to stay in the game and go 95 with the game on the line. Special teams has been deteriorating for weeks, tackling getting sloppy, fumbles poor bocking, penalties.

Offensive schemes are just offensive – no consistency, no strategy to attack an opponent’s weaknesses, poor o-line play and blocking (on Callahan), idiotic game plans (Shotty) and poor execution on everyone (all the players). Sanchez is just the face of the problem, even though he is a big reason the execution is so poor – it starts with him. Receivers quit on routes when they know they are not targeted, the blocking is awful even when the play call is good. Everyone talks about how we have no long pass plays – how many long runs do we have this year? How about runs over 10 yards – forget 20?

Based on the success of the last two years – some of it luck, much of it deserved – this team has come to believe all it needs to do to win is line up and their rep will carry them through, even though they have taken enough shots in the mouth this year that they should be disabused of that notion. And this is where Rex is no Parcells or Belicheck or Jimmy Johnson (when he had no Jerry Jones on his back). No way any of those guys would still be going around telling everyone they are SB bound. They would be chewing everyone’s ass out after performances like the last two, even cutting players to make a point.

This season will play out as it will, most likely with no playoffs. If the organization sits down and looks at itself and draws the right conclusions from it’s evaluations, that will be the best result we could have for this lost year. Everyone in the organization needs to grow up, from Tannenbaum and Rex down to the ball boys. Hard choices need to be faced and made. Draft picks that haven’t panned out need to go. Talent needs to be re-evaluated, and the needs clearly identified. It is not possible for this team to fill all it’s needs in the draft, so the draft has to be predicated on what we cna get or think we can get.

Sorry for the length but after all all the disappointment and ranting I think it’s time we take a step back and try to be a little objective about where we are, here we can go this year, and look at what should be done for the future.

when you really think about it we have not had a good offense since 1998 when Vinny had a career year. Ever since that time we have always had garbage offenses.

Jets had the ball in Bronco territory in the 4th, and what do they do?
    1st-10, DEN47 7:26 J. McKnight rushed to the left for 2 yard gain
    2nd-8, DEN45 6:46 M. Sanchez incomplete pass to the right
    3rd-8, DEN45 6:41 NY Jets committed 5 yard penalty
    3rd-13, 50 6:41 B. Powell rushed up the middle for 6 yard gain

Just because Tebow hadn’t done anything, you can’t be so conservative that you don’t even attempt to get a first down. Those were three horrible play calls. 1 or 2 first downs there get them into fg range and bleed the clock.

they get a field goal they probably still let Tebow run wild and get the game winning TD…FG’s are only good with 3 seconds on the clock and a team is going for the win…there is no killer instinct,identity or heart when it comes to this group…I don’t see any veteran leadership…this team is a diaperload of crap from top to bottom in every aspect….I will not pay another dime for sunday ticket to watch this abomination called The New York Jets.
