Riddle me this: why wasn’t Why hasn’t Gase been fired yet when other teams with better records have parted ways with theirs.  Any other team would have fired Gase last year.  Not saying this tank has been planned all along, but could it have been? 

its all about those compromising photos..you probably didn't realize it but Gase's college major was Double Secret Surveillance

It’s been planned all along. They gave him no new weapons at receiver, brought in Frank Gore as their backup running back who now has to start. Made some marginal Oline upgrades and then traded away their best player. I would be so happy to see Lawrence stay in school. That would be hilarious.

You would think with the added wild card team in each conference sitting at 8 - 3 a team should be feeling pretty good about making the playoffs. ( not so )

 

With the Browns at 9 - 3 and gaining confidence it leaves allot of good football teams fighting for the final wild card spot. 

 

Good for the NFL...

What difference does it make? They are going to fire the entire staff and they have to pay him anyways. If they elevate a coordinator to HC they will have to pay him more for a few games. Tank and save some money.

According to NFL’s Next Gen Stats, the Jets were the first team to send eight pass rushers on a play in the final 30 seconds of a game this season.”

I am convinced they did it on purpose.

But just....why? Why would they do that? 

Gregg and Gase won't be there to take advantage of the high draft pick.

What's the legitimate theory behind WHY they would do this? Guys like Williams and Gase have pride. Surely they don't want 0-16 on their resume.

Besides, if losing is the goal, why stop the Raiders in the red zone on the previous drive? Why not let them score there?

Gregg can't stand Gase haha. I am only being semi serious but why would you send 8 in that scenario? Any completion in bounds that isn't a touchdown is the game

Absolutely. Not only was the CALL inept, but the cornerback biting on the double move? Yikes.

Just legendary ineptitude.

I don't think Gregg did it for the tank. I think he did it knowing if it backfired it would further humiliate Gase.

What would the Jets coaching staff get out of tanking?

 

Unless they’re being brought back next year, or Gregg Williams is named head coach, I don’t see what they would possibly gain by tanking. It would hurt their chances of being hired by other organizations.

 

Although I do wonder with that last play call if Gregg Williams is purposely sabotaging Adam Gase... 😂

The way the Pats are using Cam Newton I don’t see them bringing him back next year. They’re using him the same way a team would use a RB by giving him 400+ carries......they’re basically getting every ounce the can out of him by letting him take a pounding every game with no intention of bringing him back in 2021 unless it’s for peanuts again.

Agree. I don't think the coaching staff is in on the tank. But Williams purposely sabotaging people's careers? Yep. That sounds like him.
