The reality is we haven't competed in a game in over a month and our QB and others stepped up. We have gone 2-6 since our awesome 3-0 start. We have once again found another way to lose, we are getting no consistent pass rush, we are giving up too many rushing yards, leaving receivers wide open, our right tackle was owned by Aaron Maybin, our guys continue to lead NFL in injuries and players sent to IR.
Getting compliments from opposition is pointless. The objective is to physically dominate your opponent. The Jets still own the line they win the physical battle upfront on both sides of the ball. Pouha is killing us, Mangold & Co plowed the way for 138 rushing yards. Until we can shut down Jets run and run on them we will continue to lose.
The only way we will get respect is by physically imposing our will, being clutch, running up the score on inferior opponents, and being feared by the rest of the NFL.
