Somethin phishy...

All of the press from yesterday's arse wooping has to do with the trip* from the strength and conditioning coach on the Jets sideline who tripped a rookie cornerback. I guess that is a good and bad thing: good thing because it seems that no one cares that the Jets lost the the terrible Dolphins. Bad thing because no one seems to care that the Jets lost to the terrible Dolphins.

Everyone who knows sports knows the cardinal rule: you gotta beat the teams that you are supposed to beat. The Jets, in my opinion, were surely overhyped, but that wasn't their fault. The HBO documentary paired with marquee free agent signings led the NYC media to frame the Jets as Superbowl favorites far before the first game with a second year coach and a second year quarterback.
I don't get it. You get sooba womped by the rival Pats, then you come out less than a week later and kick a field goal on 4th and 9 in the 4th losing by 7, with only 5 minutes left to go? Shotty- you're days are numbered man. You were known for great stuff with the implementation of the Brad Smith run wildcat and the great trick plays. You have now accepted your role as "the guy who runs up the gut on first and second down." Give Sanchez a chance with confidence. Don't just allow him to throw on 3rd and longs, especially when we're losing.
I thought that there was a reason we got 4 amazing wide receivers.
Better late then never to get it together, but its also shitty to be late.
