After a week where everyone and their mother were writing about how Derek Jeter has always acted with class on and off the field, Geno Smith and the Jets decided to do the complete opposite on Sunday. After another Jets loss (their third in a row), and with the Murderers Row of Rivers, Manning, and Brady coming up, the Jets took out their frustrations on those rotten bastards who paid hundreds of dollars to watch this sorry excuse for a football team. Geno told a fan to fuck himself, and Sheldon Richardson took it a step further, saying fans shouldn't boo unless they can father an NFL player themselves. Great way to re2pect.
Geno is starting to crack under pressure, and that isn't a good sign if he wants to have a long career in New York. If the Jets have to bring the "bad Geno" out the next few weeks we'll be staring at a lost season at 1-6. I criticized the Vick move during the offseason, but I'm not afraid to say when I'm wrong. I don't think it's time to bring in Vick just yet, but he should start taking some practice snaps away from Geno with the first team (and give Geno a short leash next week in San Diego). The time is now for Geno. If he continues to be thin-skinned and tries to pick un-winnable fights with fans and the New York media Gang Green will be using their first round draft pick on a quarterback again in 2015.
This all happened after a report by Adam Schefter came out earlier on Sunday that there is a "disenfranchment" between GM John Idzik and many in the franchise. We are a team built to win now with a head coach on the hot seat, while we have a GM and QB set on rebuilding. Same. Old. Jets.
There was also a game that was played Sunday, not that you really missed anything after our first offensive drive.
Good
I wasn't at the game, so Geno Smith didn't curse at me. The defense did a good job of holding Megatron to just 12 yards on 2 catches, after holding Brandon Marshall to one catch on Monday night. Chris Ivory continues to run the ball well until Mornhinweg decides to stop running the ball for some God-forsaken reason. Eric Decker looked healthy grabbing a TD on 4 catches for 48 yards.
Bad
Where can I start? Geno had a interception and lost a fumble, bringing his total to 7 turnover on the season. Rex continues to make rookie mistakes with his clock management (what is Herman's friend Dick Curl doing now (yes, the Jets hired a guy named Dick Curl tss tss)). First, he took a livin' on a prayer challenge on a fumble by Reggie Bush, then wasted 10 seconds before calling his second timeout, which would have forced the Lions to run another play before the 2 minute warning.
Ugly
Can Rex stop praising his defense. They are a JOKE!! While Geno is giving up the football, the best defense in football can't force a single takeaway!! Just like we've seen over the past five years, when we need our defense to get us a big stop, they falter. After Decker's touchdown brought us within 7, the Lions marched down the field with a 90-yard touchdown drive. The offense was just as bad. Ryan Quiggley was our MVP with 6 punts for a 51-yard average.
What's Next?
The Jets fly out West for a meeting with the San Diego Chargers and Phillip Rivers. The Chargers picked apart the Jaguars on Sunday, and are on a 3-game winning streak after dropping the opener against the Cardinals. The Chargers have the 5th ranked passing offense in the league, and does anyone have any faith that our secondary will slow them down? I wouldn't be shocked if we see Vick on Sunday.
