The Jets are a hot mess

Maybe...from my end, height doesn't change the fact Ingrahm started low and projected himself upward, whereas Watt maintained a level plain throughout his tackle...for the refs to catch this in real time is a bit of a stretch though...

I can't imagine our record or how many times we'd make the playoffs if we had to face the Patriots twice a year. There seems to be organizational issues with that team now that go far beyond Rex, he's actually been pretty quiet this year and far more humble (and lost a lot of weight) yet people still bash him when in reality he's been a man about most of the losses and taken the blame for just about everything even when it wasn't his fault, unlike our HC who's just barely after years of making excuses finally started to take some public responsibility for what's happened with his team. I honestly think he'll keep his job after this season but their GM is likely on his way out the door.

You ever think some coaches say these things because they know it's what people want to hear...and maybe there are other coaches who don't give a darn what others want to hear...but speak the truth?

I think coaches who take the blame during a presser take all of the heat off of the players and I think they appreciate that which in turn makes them play harder for you. Norv year after year made excuses or blamed it on other things but rarely if ever said it was on him, if your boss acts that way then why the hell else won't everyone else? it's a leadership quality of nothing else and it's one I think more people should follow even if it is all smoke and mirrors. Let's face it when someone says "I take responsibility" how often are they actually held accountable? how often do they actually pay any kind of price for making a mistake?
