Jets Receive No Brotherly Love in Philly

The Jets fell to 8-6 today, getting run out of the building in Philadelphia by the Eagles. Much like their fellow mediocre New York based opponent this coming Saturday, they played a terrible game. Philly won by a 45-19 margin. This one was ugly. Most teams have a stinker or two each season where they cannot do much right. That pretty much describes the Jets today. The offense was brutal with 4 turnovers. The defense allowed the Eagles to do pretty much what they wanted with the ball all day long. There were a few bright spots, but the key word is "few."
The Jets did get some help today with the Titans and Raiders losing to leave New York in about the same position it entered today in the Playoff chase. Despite what the team has been saying, making the Playoffs at 10-6 is entirely possible after this loss.
Leave your thoughts below. I will have the official recap up in a bit.

I love Rex but his coahing needs work
We were totally unprepared for this game, and this isn’t the first time we’ve come out of the gate looking like we have no idea whats going on. He needs to stop being so lax on the the team and whip them into shape.
Oh yes that's right, I'm a Jets fan.

And what about Tanny's terrible personnel decisions?
I’ve been saying it all season…Wayne Hunter sucks. When he’s not missing blocks, he’s drawing penalties. Slauson isn’t much better. Our O-line sucks this year becasue of Tannenbaum’s decisions.
i'm trying to figure it out here but i'm not sure....
if the jets win their last 2 do they automatically get in or would they need help from the cards or ravens beating the bungles?
metsjetsknicksrangers.............can it get any worse?
There still in control of their own destiny
Win out and there in.
God is Jets fan.

the team needs more accountability soup to nuts.
thats why we always have this sloppy play.
Fire Shotty!
That would be holding someone accountable. Bench Hunter, although I have no idea who you’d repalce him iwth. Then again, someone might want to look at Mike T. This isn’t the 1st time he’s left us weak in the trenches. Then again, I haven’t gotten over the Pete Kendall disaster.
At least they control their own destiny.
No begging for losses.
Darrelle Revis once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.
Take it easy, guys.
I can’t tell you why we played so badly, and I know we’re all feeling the heartache tonight. But it’s not like things are already gone. We can still take it to the limit one more time. The Jets still get the best of my love, even though tomorrow might end up a tequila sunrise. I still have that peaceful easy feeling, knowing that we are still in it in the long run.
and the HOLMES of the... JETS!!!

we're not in it for the long run
if Rex and this team doesn’t hold anyone accountable. We’re not going to win a SB or a championship with such a poor culture.
Mmmm, Tequila
sounds good right about now… Long drunken stupor till Saturday.
But very well said. Don’t count these guys out! They are the 6th seed FOR A REASON. That being they are not as bad as those teams looking up at the JETS…

Yeah but...
there’s no way they’re going to win any playoff games playing like this. There are only 3 games this year where they’ve looked like the team from the past 2 years—against Jax, Buffalo (the first time), and KC. Other than that, their wins have been sloppy. There’s no way they’ll be able to beat any of the other AFC playoff teams like this.
All that matters is we still control our own destiny
Bases in what we saw from other teams I would not be surprised if we Can get in at 9-7
just very disappointed with the quality of play. It isn’t the losses. It is that this team isn’t even a team. It is just a bunch of talented players.
agreed 100%
the largest part of this problem is the merry-go-round of wr corps every year. This is the biggest thing holding sanchez back every year.
I'm with you
and there’s no reason for it either—there was nothing wrong with Cotchery and Edwards. They let those guys go and brought in Plax, who they hardly ever throw the ball to him, and Mason, who was a complete bust from the very beginning. What a waste.
and if you noticed...
NE doesn’t play very well after a bye. for 2 years in a row, they lost after both their regular season byes, as well as after getting a 1st round bye in the playoffs.
Rex's ego is the biggest issue with the defense
He is believing his hype and thinks his defensive schemes can be successful even if he does not have the right personnel to execute.

LOL. He needs to realize everyone has exotic blitzes nowadays
"Burress telling Cason to hold his dick 3 times was awesome" -J-Nasty
If Rex thought E Smith was the man then he should not be evaluating talent
"Burress telling Cason to hold his dick 3 times was awesome" -J-Nasty
whoever made the call to get rid of Lowery blew it big time.
here’s my question was there a great 3-4th round safety or someone in the later rounds?
it's really just at safety
if we had capable safety play and could stop the TE, everything else should follow and we could draft a legit pass rusher next year.
Such an embarrassing lose. Still too late to bring in someone to replace Hunter?
I mean he’s not getting any better and it could only help Sanchez at this point.
just put in Ducasse...and give him help.
Hunter should have been benched just to send a message.
At this rate it might be better to bench Sanchez to preserve him for next season.
He’s getting hit every dropback, the large majority of the time due to Hunter getting owned. There needs to be help there every play, which is unacceptable. Put Hunter and Ducasse over there and maybe we can slow down a DE or LB enough to get off a pass.
i know our O didn't help
but 45 points, the D has to get some of the blame. we can’t let 28 points in the 1st half and expect to win. all the losses, besides the tebow game, we let at least 20 in the first half. this is a team that is supposed to half one of the better d’s in the league, right rex?

honestly, when were going 3 and out all the time and not getting drives going, your D gets tired.
Still that was a pathetic performance.
Exactly, I've been saying this week in week out.
The D is older and larger on the front 7 and isn’t built for anything but the ground and pound. They need long sustained drives not the big play passing game like Schotty loves to unsuccessfully employ.
oh, and one more thing
fuck you hunter!!!!!!!!

the good: its over
the bad: we actually are fans of the team on the losing end.
The Good is: Titans and Raiders lose

and who knows which Giants team will show up next week
the team that played Washington yesterday (although I use “played” loosely here), or the team that almost beat Green Bay?
Celek averaged over 30 yards per catch.
Could he have averaged more if we deliberately left him uncovered?

My question is was there a good available safety in FA or in the draft?
im just asking what did we miss out on.
Who knows?
We were too busy trying to get Nnamdi

i’m not sure what we should draft with our first, a saftey or a rt to replace the giant lifeless pineapple that currently occupies it

thats not what i'm upset about
why did we have to trade lowery? was there realy any good reason to trade him for a 7th rounder? why couldn’t we just keep him!!

I totally agree. i was pissed off when they let go of lowery.
i just hope their smart enough to realize their mistake. I believe they are.
we could have just kept Lowery
simple as that
This next offseason
Will show if Mike T is really one of the better GMs, regardless of how the season ends.

Rebuilding time
i hate to say it , but the jets have a lot of holes to fill. Defense looks slow. Smith is just awful. linebackers are again out of position. Defensive line cannot generate any pressure. Offensive line has been awful all year and this was more of the same. Draft needs
1. offensive tackle and guard
2. pass rushing DE/LB and inside LB
3. cover safety
4. running back
I AM ENTIRELY SICK OF REX EXAGGERATING THIS TEAMS TALENT. !!!!!!!
woah!!!
Rebuilding time
so, we are going to rebuild a team that is 8-6 and made the afcc the last 2 years? yup, that makes a lot of sense

rexthejet, think about this
fine we made the payoffs past 2 yrs BUT 1 of those yrs the COLTS allowed us to get in,we didnt WIN as most teams WIN to get into playoffs..REX has 2 Major flaws!!!!!…ALl teams that play the season Have a goal to Reach playoff;s,BUT Jets head Coach makes always KNOWN too ALL that Jets are going to Super bowl,and 2 yrs straight,what happened?….
I got a feeling this yr that REX had “questions” about his team,the telling sign was when he came out and ASKED For “OTHER TEAMS” too beat NE, so jets could win AFC-EAST Tittle…then he goes and PLAYS NE, and lose;s BOTH GAMES!!!!!!!..and besides OUR 3yr QB blunders,the DEF players said after BOTH lose;s that THEY HAD WRONG PEOPLE ON FIELD!!!..and who CALLS the DEF?…REX does!!!!!!!
what happens if Giants win on SAT?….and I wouldnt count out Miami either….
stop adressing me
are you a jets fan? if you are, why did you sign up to the pats site 2 months before us? give me a good answer

this thread's ridiculous
some games, you don’t have it. we caught a very talented team, that got healthy just in time to play us. jets need to beat two mediocre teams and they’ll be fine. the colts just beat the titans, the chiefs just beat the packers, the skins just beat the giants, etc. it’s the nfl, this happens
by Crimetime Island on Dec 18, 2011 8:08 PM EST reply actions
did anyone really think
philly was incapable of playing a great game. they just put it together today. a bunch of breaks went against the jets early and they lost. it’ll be alright. they win the next two and they get in. that’s all that matters
by Crimetime Island on Dec 18, 2011 8:12 PM EST up reply actions
They had 3 fumbles lost in the first half
lets not act like the Eagles played great and weren’t sloppy
Safety is as needed as a big time pass rusher. And we’ve got 3 pro bowlers on our o line, but it continues to be an issue? can’t have a weak link in that chain, it makes that whole chain weak.
Most teams have a stinker or two each season where they cannot do much right.
Most average to bad teams. This is just not a “good” team, and they have proven it all season.
Green Bay just lost a terrible game to KC
NE lost to the browns last year, and Brady threw 4 picks vs the bills this year, every team has losses like this

The Jets have not put together a complete game this entire year.
2 halves, three phases of the game.
That is a BAD team. Poorly coached.
How many complete games have the Pack and the Pats put together?
Do you actually think this is a “good” team? They are a fumble factory. They can’t defend TEs. They aren’t on the same page on offense. They struggle against some of the worst teams in the league.
yeah rebuilding
so what we are 8 and 6, we have not beaten a good team all year long. and we need to figure out how to beat the pats with that young TE tandem that can torture us for the next decade. Look at the holes on this team objectively, we need to bring in 5-7 starters to be competetive next year. unless of course you like being mediocore. and we have had too many stinkers like this game this season. look at NE, ravens, eagles,raiders. good teams have one or two maybe. Rex overates the talent on this team. i have been a jets fan for 40 years and still waiting for a super bowl appearance
Holmes is willfully ignorant. they guy will never learn. let your narcissim, arrogance, and ego aside for a moment please. Some reporter just basically called him out and asked him why the fuck did you do that dumb shit after the td…..and he gave his most emphatic answer of the interview ……….NO….aka i dont give a fuck about this team even in hindsight, even being barely intelligent to understand how much worse this will make me look……NO
he said “NO” as an answer to “would you do anything different in hindsight, knowing what happened with stevies johnson…”
yea this guy is way better than Braylon
seriously…all those people trying to cite Braylon and his “off field issues”. Well don’t look now, Santonio can’t even get it done ON the field.
Good football player, stupid human being
"Burress telling Cason to hold his dick 3 times was awesome" -J-Nasty
Is Santonio Holmes just stupid?
Holmes fumbles early in the game into anEagle TD.Then he has pass go through his paws at the 5yd line killing an early Jet TD drive.Hey,physical mistakes are gonna happen so I give him a reluctant shrug.His TD dance with the Jets down 28-9 still early in the game drawing a taunting penalty on the kick-off was inexcusable and ignorant.Don’t the freakin coaches go crazy on them when they see this shit hurting the team.
did you just see his post game interview? the guy dont get it… he needs a coach like cowher or coughlin not a softy like rex. Although he didnt show it with some sort of ignorant behavior today, Plax aint far behind him. Those 2 share a brain
offensive line
We cheaped out on the offensive line when Ken O Brian was the Qb and again when we had pennington. now we have done it again and it will ALWAYS come back to burn you. Slauson is average, Mangold looks flabby after his big contract and Wayne Hunter is a disaster. I also believe Brandon Moore is playing at far less than 100% We also have no depth and don’t have a blocking TE. All this equals lack of run production and leaving your QB open to big hits like we have seen. Watch the patriots line or the packers line. They have a pocket to throw from.
Moore's been banged up too.Hunter needs help from a TE or RB.Like to see a healthy Pennington QB'n the Jets.

plus they have!!
the Have TE;s..something WE dont have, or if we Do we have a QB that cant seem to locate them!!!!..where was this great ground & pound off today?..How many YDS do greene Have or the “Quiter” LT?….everyone said EAGLES games was a trap game..well I think GIANTS will be as well….
SpOrtsfan88..Takes more than 1 man to make a OFF line….1 man can not dictate a OF line;s failures!!!!!..Jets have no replacements….All the other teams have at least 1 or 2 replacement players or like NE they have PLAYERS that can play 2-3 positions….thats what JETS Need players who can play more than JUST 1 position!!!!! and UNTIL management and Coaching Staff see and accept this Jets will keep playing as they do…
Look-Out for Miami!!!!
good teams....
Build their team with offensive and defensive lines a priority. We have a lower tier offensive line this year, and it is coming back to bite us in the ass. The defensive line and linebacker unit may be the worst in the NFL at getting after the QB. We need upgrades across both sides of the ball.
chrebs the prob is the weak link in that o line chain. Mangold, Dbrick, BMoore, are pro bowl. Slausen still getting better, I could see him getting the same recognition if he keeps up his fire. But Hunter is the hunted. They don’t help him because keller’s too handsome to chip and mulligan is a living paradox. If that was anything near average I’d think we’d have that type of beast ol that I agree should be the building blocks.
I am a glass half full Jets fan...
..and have been my entire life. The Jets are what they are, and that is an 8-6 team. They are considerably better than a lot of average/below average teams, and are most definitely better than the worst teams in the league. They are not elite, not close really, but are capable of elite performances, which is why I think the team is still a playoff threat. Do you think a 3 seed wants to see the Jets coming into their building in the first round? I don’t.
The glaring flaws, to me, have been the O-line (Hunter being the biggest culprit, obviously), the underneath pass defense, and the incredibly confusing (to me, at least) offensive game planning. A team without an offensive identity is not going to be a championship team, if you ask me. Even the 2000 Ravens knew what they were on that side of the ball. It’s easy to blame just Sanchez or even just Schotty, but it may actually fall on Rex and Mr. T. They have a ton of talent on this side of the ball, but does it really fit? Has it been molded into a cohesive unit? There are these moments of brilliance that get all of us excited, but I’m not sure that they’re put in the position on a week in, week out basis to be great, or even very good for that matter.
ozone, agree with you, we are one or two guys away form being a good o line again, an overlooked point is that maybe losing strength coach sal alosi is costing us. The team as a whole does not look very physical. this could also be due to new regulations on amount of time a team can practice in full pads. How many missed tackles have we seen as well as sloppy blocking this season?.. ….with all of this off my chest i hope we can sneak into the playoffs and make some noise!
