Im going to be honest, as being one of the posters who claimed the Jets would beat us, I would be pissed if I was in charge of the Jets. THe Jets bascially came into the season with their playoff team, against a team that has been revamping and that Revamped team took us to the woodshed if NOT for a few lucky favors by the football gods.
This HOWEVER does not excuse Garrett from any blame because those lucky favors are still the curses that hang over this team. Its his jobs to get rid of them, not ride with them.
Ive let it be known from day 1, i am not pleased a few coaches are still on this team, that being said, im not yet impressed with the new ones yet, but time is on their side, not the others. For Houck, its a determent.
It is Garretts job to shake these guys hands, wish them well and write a favorable letter to whomever is looking at them and saying to themselves, these guys can take our crappy team and not make one improvement what so ever. There are teams out there willing to do that.
I think its also time to accept that some players are what they are and no matter the threads, its not going to make that player any better.
I would have been thrilled if we won, tho reality is what it is and the reason no one can ever predict it is because you cant think of every factor that reality will throw at you. If you are confused about this, think about doing a picnic without watching the weather channel. You'll quickly figure it out.
I would in my heart want to hear Garrett is doing like Santa Claus and he has a list and that bad boy is going to be checked and checked a lot, because if it were up to me, the scouting department would be on notice.
The real fact of reality tho is that this team wouldnt be deteremined on week 1, but rather week 2, since both teams are almost doing the same thing. New coaches, new schemes and new ways of doing things. THis is the bar to pit this team against and see where the chips are, no point in throwing them and seeing where they land, now we have to see where they land and start moving them. WHo really is our number 2 TE, can Romo lead this team to a moral victory and will our Oline hold up are a few examples of questions that need to be answered. A lot others, but to indepth to go into in one post.
This thread is also good because its time for posters to understand if Garrett is looking for the big overhaul where hes not worried about winning all the games, but getting players involved for winning for next season and building a team instead of mish moshing it. I would like to put myself in this boat and waiting to see what happens instead of knee jerking every loss. Its going to be a wait and see what we have season, vs lets hope we get to the SB or playoffs season. If this is the case, than a lot of other questions are going to pop up. Than also id liek to get new young coaches in here instead of retreads. But Garrett might also be here for another year depending if no progress is made this season, which before you agree, is just plain silly, look at the defense. Special teams im not impressed with but Rob has already made his impact felt, i just hope Garrett catches up this week.
This week should answer more questions and leave us with a better understanding where to gauge the team than instead of a already proving playoff team. Which isnt just in the numbers, but how does the team handle most other teams, which is what makes them playoff material compared to a 10 win team that played sub par teams. I fully believe the Jets have a better team right now, I just feel Garret and Rob put the fear of God and doubt into Rex and company.
