ya, which is why they are the best IMO (altho i suppose clevland might be next level this season). the fact that brady was able to have us use the tools we already had in the shed but eliminate the bad play/get free yards here and there is why i have a lot more confidence now. davis and diggs didnt even get theirs, so if we can get that going as well i don't think there is a d in the nfl who can hold us under 30.

sure, but they run zone, which dorsey never seemed to be able to beat.

not quite a must win game, but if we want to win a chip, we come out hard and smart on O and put up 30 points and walk away winners.

i would have assumed we did better than that under center. i still think we need to run under center more, mainly so we can have play action passes thrown, and to shake up the opponents d. these easy money throws and runs are what we need to make our o look more like the old ne offense and less like a kid calling madden plays. if allen can run an o like that, it's a freaking horror show to defend. the jets are about the best zone/cover 2 type d in the nfl (maybe sanfran or clevland are better, but it is close) and after the body blows early and fg kicks set them up, the td drives followed. tbh, we left meat on the bone in the entire 4th quarter too.

Like that 81 yarder?

Allen with some protection and a run game is a scary sight homie.

Did harry lose all of his speed last year? He just looks not fast

Runs, screens, underneath throws and wheel routes vs a zone. Like how new England used to do it.

This is something the jets saw before too We pay cap for special teams and have them take risks for no return. Roster management issue

Sad but true

Wow, safety too? Terrible

Down two corners, not good. If the jets score here, that's 100% on coaching.

Is it true the only td allowed to a wr by the jets in double digit games was diggs in week one of this year? If so, that's insane and really means we have to go under center and run josh in the red zone

I like what I see so far. The one thing is delayed runs and stuff to the edge isn't clicking. Need a lil less of that

if bmore smashes up the afc north, and i think they will, it's indy, houston, and us in the running. 3 wc spots, so we have a decent shot there. i think we make the playoffs via winning the division. once again, we will have a road game in KC in the playoffs, and in the regular season. kc has had a nasty d but pretty weak O. if we score two passing tds vs the jets in a win, im declaring us back!

you're just defending her because you know she reads the board and you are waiting for that late night text. respect.

it's just that simple. if our bills rip off two solid wins in the next 9 days, go into the bye 7-5 and driving their own bus of destiny, then it's smiles and laughs and jokes again. maybe with a more serious backdrop than say 2021 or so, but comfortably loose. if we also beat kc, this team's confidence will be galvanizing.

w all the back up qbs for the teams ahead of us, and them playing each other, it seems like the raves will smash up their own division taking care of clevland, pittz, and cinci for us (they are all not great teams w their current injuries and pittz has to have its luck run out). the texans and colts will likely have at least one fall down (i think colts), and the afc west honestly looks like kc and no body. as bad and as dumb as we have been, we can keep up w miami and beat them last game for the division (which means we will likely have room to lose 1 maybe 2 more) and likely can land the 7th wild card if we are 10-7 if the d can continue to play above its station and not be asked for end of game stops, and the O can turn the super high efficiency stats into more points via removing the bad play (driver enders, turnovers, just a couple of those turned into FGs and we are winners) then we are in. if this team can't make that happen then they need to make it happen next season with an entirely new front office.

That's a mostly fair point IMO. we can drop a game or two, as success pointed out, if we are one behind the fish for the last game, it's win and in. i think miami drops at least 1, maybe more. beating philly going into the bye might be necessary tho, from a momentum and confidence point of view.

is that right? we'll have the tie breaker sweeping them?

he's made horrible mistakes, but vs denver and new england if the d stops either of these trash offenses in the last drive, we win. vs the bengals, it's maybe a stretch but kinkaid not fumbling and we have room to win that game. against jax, we had a garbage time td, but we had a drive where we did a cover zero blitz and let up a big conversion, if we don't give that big conversion we have every chance to win the game. so if we just get stops on the two games vs the worst opponents above, we are 7-3 and cruising. he's been bad turning it over, real bad vs the jets, but better play calls on either side of the ball, just a few, even with the turnovers we are in the driver's seat. the man beater routes vs zone and the hole shot outside play (seems to always be mirrored on both sides according to the talking heads ive seen) need to be thrown out.

it's possible a 5-2 run gets us in, but that means wild card teams in front of us fall down badly, or miami loses a bunch of games, including to us.

i would never! bite your tongue.

every nfl head coach is a dictator. that's what they are hired to be. the biggest issue w our team this season is how close we are. losses of d players suck, but the d has held most opponents to a pretty low point total. yet they give up scores vs bad teams on 4th quarter drives most weeks, and when they didn't (nyg, tb) they come super close to giving the game away at home vs bad offenses. our O turns the ball over terribly, and looks out of rhythm on like 5 or 6 of every 8 drives. they are super predictable and make bone headed mistakes over and over. yet, allen has walked off the field w a lead, or was driving to the end zone more or less every week of our last 6 games, and we have a great td% and epa and all of that. yards per play is top 5 in the nfl too. good situational football and better play calling/feel for the game would turn some of these close losses into wins, and frankly that's the difference between champions and no one's in the NFL. an ironic stat i saw is that while our td% we have even since week 4 has been good, our fg% is awful. once we get out of our own end, getting a FG here and there would put us in a pretty sweet position to win these close games. some advantage play calls allowing the o to gain a few more yards, or the d to get off the field earlier, or slightly better punting, or any combination would set us up for wins. all of that is a coaching issue. so mcd is a dictator, but he's supposed to be. that's fine. but if he's a dictator who won't accept accountability and no idea how to right the ship, he should be sent packing once playoffs are out of reach to send a message that this is simply not acceptable.

he did well on that rep, maybe a more decisive turn and run post catch gets him more yards, but i'll take that all day. so the second angle on the post confirmed something i've been thinking -- dbs are eating josh's lunch because they 1) can predict our silly plays and 2) just play zone and watch josh's eyes. they don't get totally fooled if he looks off because they have an edge basically knowing what we are gonna do in certain (most?) formations and down and distances. when allen is under center, they don't know his throwing spot (which he likes to change as well) so they wait for him to stop his drop back, when he turns his back to hand off or fake a hand off, the lbs freeze, and most importantly imo the dbs don't have any eyes to read so they just stare waiting for josh to turn around. he's so athletic and good throwing the ball that he has a HUGE advantage in that situation. it's sets up such zone beaters i go crazy when we run man killing mesh/rub routes against the clearest and most obvious zones.
