A Few Thoughts About the Jets Game, in no particular order
oldmanfan replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I get it now. Receivers should never have to adjust even a tiny bit to catch the ball, right? When the ball hits you in the hands at your waist it's partly on the QB? Come on, that's just laughable. And yes Allen is still a work in progress. -
Mods, repetitive and an agenda. Against the TOS right?
-
Nope. Hit the ground, and the ground popped the ball out. No way it was a fumble. Should have won that game. But your best player got burned one time and it cost them.

Did we have 10 opening day? Yes if I recall correctly. Did some get hurt or do a stupid retirement? Yes. Did they have to then bring more in? Yes. Yiur oosition is ridiculous. To meet your plan you would have to have a third of your active roster be DBs. That cannot happen and fill every other position adequately. And you criticize others for not being able to plan? -

Clay is disappointing. I hope he is not on the roster next year. And Allen does need to work on some of the touch throws. Why though some choose to only focus on negatives is mind boggling. He has some skills that are rare. -
He was pretty clearly down.

Confirmation bias on your part. He missed a couple and made a couple. It's an area he can improve upon. He also has skills that are hard to find elsewhere. But it's more fun to focus on the negative isn't it? -

Your words were that if they plan at all they've planned poorly for the last 15 years. You lumped folks together, not me. Your fixation on DBs is amusing. You do realize that DBs make up the highest percentage of players on an active roster? I think today we had 10 active perhaps? Let's say you make it a dozen. Where do you subtract the other two? Go with one TE? Two RBs? Hope no one gets hurt elsewhere? It is like the QB situation this year. You get multiple injuries at a spot you then have to fill in. As long as roster spots are finite that is how it works. -

Another guy that lumps 15 years onto a HC and GM that have been here two years. Between this stuff and the completion percentage meaning everything crowd it makes me wonder how many folks here flunked math in grade school. -
Yep

Oh you need to see it now? Well excuse them for not meeting your needs. Your presumption that they don't plan is kind of silly. -

I note again the crap about accuracy based on completion percentage. He was 18/36 or 50%. He had at least four throwaways and had at least 2-3 where he hit guys right in the numbers and they dropped the ball. So let's take 6 away. Now it's 18/30 or the magic 60%. He missed a couple throws. I don't recall seeing him miss by yards as was stated in the OP. Coulplr short dump offs he has to throw better. The pick across the field was a typical dumb rookie mistake. -

Crap. Pure unadulterated crap. -

It would be lovely to have 4 quality CBs all the time. But to do that you'd have to have maybe 8 on the roster so that when injuries invariably happen you have another "quality" guy to step in. And there simply isn't enough room on a roster to do that. You'd have to not have LB backups, or cut back on line depth to a dangerous level. Injuries happen. As attrition occurs through the year teams have to go find guys to plug in. The only solution would be to have an expanded active roster. -
Jalen Ramsey: “Don’t Blame Me!”

I'll have to watch it. -
Jalen Ramsey: “Don’t Blame Me!”

So Ramsey couldn't chase down a 245 lb running back when he had 99 yards to do so? Thought he was suppose to be fast. -

I'll bet Ramsey is high on McD and Beane's list as a possible free agent down the road. Perfect fit for what they want to build, wouldn't you say? -
Josh Allen has become the leader of this football team
oldmanfan replied to Rufridr101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hmmmm......... -
Again, cut back on the drinking. I am not bitter in the slightest about them beating us last year. Was a very good defensive game and we came up short. We made the playoffs after a 17 year drought, and they did a fine job getting to the divisional finals. Let's just try to focus on the actual topic. My point is this: they imploded this year, despite having the football czar many wanted in Coughlin. Coughlin made a big mistake in not addressing his QB situation, and their tem is about to land in a difficult cap position. So they have a czar, a GM, and a HC in Marrone, but imploded. The point is this: you don't need that kind of a structure. You need a good GM and HC that work together to put a team together. A "czar" to oversee them to me just adds anther unnecessary management layer.
-
First, quit drinking so early in the morning; your posts might start to make some sense. Second, my commentary has nothing to do with ether Marrone or Hogan. It has to do with the idea that we needed some kind of football czar to oversee the HC and GM. Many here clamored for someone like that, and Coughlin's name was prominently mentioned. The Jags went that direction with Coughlin, and it has backfired big time. Having the talent to oversee an organization and make solid planning decisions as the overall executive in charge is a different job than the HC position. Coughlin was a very good HC. But in this position it's not working out as well.

Your starting QB is really a de facto leader of your team, given the importance of the position.
