Why are the Jets better than any of these other bad teams in the AFC? We were supposed to be a .500 team in Vegas - our over/under was 7.5 wins. And that was before our entire team got injured. And you talk about the creampuff back of the schedule - we went 4-2 in those games (and we were only favored in 3 of those games).
I don't understand how you agree the Jets are painfully injured, so much to the point that Bill Belichick wouldn't have a winning record with this team, but you still think Gase has done such a bad job going 5-8 that you think he must be fired after one season. People complain that we lost to the Bengals. Do you want to give back the Cowboys/Raiders wins? Not that either of those teams are worldbeaters, but both teams are still better than the Jets on paper. People complain that we struggle after good opening drives. Would it be better if we sucked on the opening drive and did better later in the game?
Jets fans are just frustrated we've sucked for a decade. I'm frustrated, too. And if Gase gets axed, I won't shed a tear. But fans are holding him to an unfair standard.
It’s not that we have lost it is HOW we are losing. It’s not that we are getting beat in our areas of deficit (lack of LBs or CBS leading to us giving up 30 points a game), it’s that we are largely non competitive in games. While tonight isn’t over yet, would anyone be surprised for us to get our asses handed to us again tonight?
I’m fine losing, we lack talent and we lack quality schemes to get our guys open easily for Sam to throw to. But continuing to do the same thing (keeping a guy who has made so many mistakes and has either been incapable of using a top notch weapon in Bell, or (worse) intentionally misused Le’Veon Bell. These things show me he isn’t the right guy for the job of leading a franchise to a championship. As such that’s why I want him out, because I’m tired of losing and I don’t want to be the team that’s gone the longest without a postseason trip. We are getting dangerously close to that point.
If you still have faith in Gases ability that’s great. I don’t and I want to replace him sooner rather than later because I don’t want to waste any more time. I still want to know how long are you willing to wait to decide enough is enough (this can be a general idea for a new coach or Gase specific). Is it 20 games? 40? Zero playoff appearances in 4 seasons? What would it take for you to decide we need to move on?
I agree stability is a great thing. But stable with idiots on charge isn’t really helpful, it won’t get us out of the basement. I’d rather go back to the unknown than keep someone I have lost faith in
