THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME SUMMARY. RYAN TAKES CLOWN CAR ON THE ROAD

Jets Defense
If you're a Jets fan - here's the good news. After just one week I doubted the validity of top 10 Defensive Line and Pass Defense stats. Don't! They are for real. Rex Ryan has always been an above average Defensive coach. The jets defense carried the team for 4 quarters. Congratulations! Fantastic Performance. You almost won the game. Maybe if you played both ways.

Jets Offense
The bad news is that Rex couldn't spell "Offense" with with a sharp crayon in a quiet room. His ignorance starts at the top and works its way down, into every aspect of the offense.

Stupid is What Stupid Does
Lets start with his Offensive coordinator.  Marty Mornhinweg is as smart as he looks. You have two running backs averaging over 4 yards per carry. So, lets take away any run threat that might give your rookie QB breathing room - by running a shotgun offense. While you're at it Marty- don't let either back develop any rhythm - switch them out every play. Chris Ivory is a superstar in waiting. The idea of a simple run, run pass progression easily eludes Marty.


Ryan's incompetence is most visible in his inability to coach offensive players. Receivers dropping balls. He has absolutely no idea what to do with Geno Smith. He's posing and throwing off his back foot. Has no idea how to look off, lead a receiver, or read coverage. He actually stands in the pocket and stares at his target. A corner-backs wet dream.

Ryan Takes Clown Car on the Road
Rex out did himself tonight, by choosing not to put anyone back to field punts. Which, by the way, didn't get them even close to blocking a single punt. It did however, cost them close to a hundred yards in lost return yardage. Not to mention Field Position that would have given them several opportunities to kick a winning field goal.

Sanchez is worthless and should pursue a reality TV career - while people still recognize his name.  As bad as Geno Smith is, he shows some great raw talent. He just needs to be coached. Sorry wrong team for that. Rex should be selling shoes and look for Mark on the next Celebrity Rehab Survivor.   

Belichick Ego Out of Control 
His enormous ego has finally caught up to him.  Sure... you can get rid of your entire receiving core and just make new players. Good luck with that.
