Topic: Jets question

[bbcard1]

Ok,  from my prespective, once a guy has played for Marshall he has a free pass for life. Regardless of his on or off field antics (see Randy Moss).

But here's my question:  Is Chad a part of the Jets problem?  They should have beat Pittsburgh, but the reality is that they only mustered three offensive points.  Personally, I think Chad is great.  Martin is a very solid back. Moss and company are servicable wide recievers.  So what's the problem?  Play calling? Or is our beloved Chad part of the reason the Jets are at home?  I mean 3 points is only 3 points and some of that blame probably has to rest on the shoulders of the guy running the offense.

Similar to Jax and probably Minn, you will see a new OC in NY.

Mike...Go Herd!!!

Moss and company are servicable wide recievers.  

Give Chad Plaxico Burress and Hines Ward to throw to and the Jets win.

Not going for the endzone with a minute left and a timeout was horrible. WORST-CASE scenario would be OT tied score 17-17 which happened with Brien missing the kick. If Brien missed a 28 yarder, what made them think he could hang a 42 yarder without a ounce of self-confidence?!

 Punch it in...Punch it in... such play calling on offense reminds me of us this past year.

A QB is only as good as his receivers. Moss is good but the others are not good enough. Herm was running the clock down instead of getting closer for a shorter field goal.  Chad needs to improve his out of pocket work.

From what I saw of the Jets play-calling this year, and in the past, Hackett should not be back. Far too conservative on offense..............

Note that Indianapolis, who has one of the best offenses in NFL history, only got 3 points on a NE defense that is second to the defense that Pennington and the Jets had to play against.  Neither Chad nor Manning put up points against the NFL's #1 and #2 defenses at their home stadiums.  Too much is being made about Chad.  The Jets AS A TEAM did what they did to win, except for one minor problem -- the kicker missed 2 chances to win the game.  Make one of two kicks and the Jets play at NE this weekend.

Don't believe Chad is part of the problem.... but let's talk to the NY press.

How about a FG kicker.

Coles was a great receiver, but the Jets traded him to the Redskins - the Jets don't have a Plaxico Burris or a Hines Ward.  The smurf is past tense and the new guy shows some promise for being Chad's "go to" guy.  Moss seemingly has problems getting open.  Whether Chad's a problem or not, the Jets need some quality receivers.

Defensive line isn't strong enough or their pass rushing schemes suck.

Defense generally gives up big chunks of real estate in the 2nd Half.

Chad has no time to throw the ball.

There's plenty to point fingers at - Chad's play certainly could have been better this year, but his play doesn't effect field goal kicking, quality receivers and defensive lapses.
