Now here are a few of my thoughts on the Jets season and the Playoffs. Going into the year I knew it was going to be tough for the Jets to make the playoffs. The biggest problem I knew the Jets would have would be quarterback. When Tim Tebow was brought in it was already going to cause problems with starter Mark Sanchez because nobody really had any idea why he was brought in or what the offense was going to do with him. And whenever Tebow was brought into a game it would throw off whatever rhythm Sanchez was trying to build with the offense. Normally the Jets have one of the better offensive lines in football, I'm not saying it was the best in the league, but in years past the Jets line has look a lot better then it has this year. There were more times then fans were used to seeing that Sanchez was getting rushed and it was throwing his game off as well. Granted the line got better as the season has gone along, and so has the rushing game too to a degree, but when the year started it didn't look all that great. And since Sanchez had never really been used to having to scramble as much as he had it started throwing him off his game that much more.
Another big reason the Jets once again missed out on the playoffs was injuries. Loosing Revis and Holmes to season ending injuries early in the year really put the Jets in a bind. Also having injures to Dustin Keller, Stephen hill, Jeremy Kerley, and Sione Pouha also had a major impact on the ball club. Had the team been able to stay healthy all year long who knows where the team would be right now. They may have been able to just get into the playoffs but they would not have been a serious threat to a super bowl. This ball club is going to have some serious reworking to do in the offseason if they want to have a shot at the superbowl.
I think now may be a great time to shake up the coaching staff and then work on the players. I think Rex Ryan may be wearing out his welcome and may have to go. All he does is talk and in the past two seasons, this one included, he hasn't been able to really back up the talk. Management needs to rethink how they do things too. They have been taking a dump on the fans by making bad decisions on which players to get and which players to let go of. As far as the players on the field, there needs to be some reworking done this offseason. First things first figure out what kind of offense do you want to be running. I think when they added Tebow they just thought yay we got him......now what the hell do we do with him. Best advice I can give is to get rid of him. He is a starting quarterback not a backup. Get rid of him and leave the team in the hands of Mark Sanchez. Now I know Holmes will back healthy next year but I don't fully trust Hill and Gates and Kerley. Edwards is back and that's a good thing. i say bring him back at the start of next year and have him and Holmes as you're one two punch again at receiver. The running game I'm not sure what they want to do with so leave it as is right now.
The Jets need to figure things out in the offseason or next year will be another lost cause of a season just like this one was.
