It Was Fun While It Lasted

Alright guys, that's it, show's over, pack it up. It took exactly one game to erase all that hope and positive energy. It's the Same Old Jets, don't be fooled, never be optimistic, it's a losing man's game.

It's truly astonishing how despite how all the players and coaching staffs have changed over the years, the result on the field is still exactly the same. It's always frustrating, it's always mediocre, it's always heart-breaking. Year after year, staff after staff, roster after roster- it's the same mistakes, the same weakness, the same failures, the same dejection. It really doesn't make sense.

So now it's time to be real. This roster's got ISSUES. The OLine is not good, they are the epitome of average. Weak push in the run game, and minimal time in the pass game. Sam has a bad habit of losing his feet and feeling ghosts after things go wrong early. That underthrow to Robby before the 2-minute warning- Sam had him open, he wasn't under pressure, but never took the time to set his feet because he was feeling the pressure still form the past 3 quarters. He thew off his back foot and the result was missed opportunity. Sam's gotta do better than that, it's year 2. Robby wants WR1 money? He's gotta play like it. Cant be dropping TDs in the first quarter, gotta be more aggressive on contested catches. On the defense, what else is there to say? The CBs are atrocious. Trumaine can't keep up with anybody right now and is a liability to have on the field, Daryl Roberts is a fine depth CB but cant be relied upon for major reps like this. It doesn't help that the pass rush is essentially non-existent, as it's been for nearly 20 years now. And another thing- I get CJ Moseley was having a stellar game and the defense missed him in the second half, but for God's sake, ADAPT. He's one player, the whole unit should not be falling apart because your inside linebacker is out of the game, especially when you have two additional captains on the defense.

The way they played, the issues that glared, this is a 4-12 team. That's unacceptable. Do better.
