Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that all
Good things must end
Call it a night
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
Without a question of a doubt, this should be the Jets theme song for the last 14 years.
Yes the party is over for
JD as GM
Uhlbrich as Interim HC
Part of or all of the coaching staff
Rodgers no matter salary cap implications
Probably a good percentage of the roster.
Unfortunately, the last two lines say it all
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
The Johnsons will still be here, continuing their Reign of Error.
The redundancy of Woody’s interference always seems to bring the same result, disaster.
Favre, Tebow and Rodgers all failed attempts for glory, all Woody’s brainstorms, excuse me, Woody’s brain farts.
Back to Rodgers, his three longest completions were to Hall, Adams and Gipson.
The boxscore says one thing, the facts say something different.
Hall’s 29 yard touchdown reception was actually a 5-6 yard pass that Hall ran 23-24 yards with.
Adams 24 yarder was a nine yard pass that was advanced 15 yards.
Gipson’s completion was a 17 yarder that actually traveled 17 yards from the line of scrimmage.
Rodgers is a shell of what he once was. Undoubtedly the aging process has caught up with him, and yes, the torn Achilles hasn’t helped.
Rodgers should gracefully say goodbye and thanks for the memories.
Any attempt by Brain Fart Woody to bring him back would be met by the most negative reaction from fans, the press and social media. But he is too dumb to realize it.
The day Saleh was fired, two HCs lost their jobs.
Saleh plus Ulbrich. He might have been made interim HC but based on the results, Ulbrich would be a hard hire for any organization to hire.
His attempt to call plays for his defense while still running the rest of the team has helped in the total collapse of the team.
His defense has regressed almost every week. While the offense has resembled the glory days of Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle.
Sorry Brick, nice try, the Johnson’s valley of incompetence has swallowed you up, also.
Honestly Bobber, as far as I am concerned, the party never even started. And the lights in the team's eyes have been out since he Thursday Night Pat's game. It was all downhill from then.
The whole season has been a disaster, just the mere fact that they are looking for a new HC and GM is so disheartening but the fact Woody will be making those decisions is down right depressing.
The funny thing is I attended a wake yesterday at 1:30! Normally a somber occasion. It turned out there were a lot of Jet fans there and pretty much everyone of them preferred to hang out at the funeral home and chat than to watch the Jets who at that point in the game looked deader than the gut lying in that coffin! ⚰️ Honestly I had no problem either the field goal. It made sense. Extending the lead to 5 took the field goal out of play. Make them drive the field and score a TD. I thought our defense looked good up front. But the secondary was awful. Receivers running freely through it all game. The coverage was as bad as I have seen this season. Ya wanna know how a 50% passer can all of a sudden become a 68% passer? Play against our secondary!🤬
Excellent column David. You hit all the salient points, which pretty much means every part of the team has dropped the ball, so to speak. About Rodgers, if he retires it would be the best, but if he wants to come back, I think the Jets have to let him, because releasing him in any way, shape or form will have pretty bad financial effects going forward.
The usual suspects at the Jet Press are clamoring for him to be dumped, but I'd want to know what the effect of each individual way of him leaving hits the team financially before any decision would be made. If you know, I'd be very interested.
It seems now that Rodgers has between 15-20 minutes of actual time in the game where he is effective and helping the team. The rest is just him being extremely ineffective, especially at the start of games, where he should be his sharpest.
But the biggest problem yesterday was the complete collapse of the defense in the 2nd half, making Richardson actually look like a productive NFL quality QB. And if Will Levis hadn't gifted the Jets in that game, they'd be 2-9. And I find it a bit amusing that teams who have eked out wins against the Jets are playing significantly better.
This season is best well forgotten. It will be housecleaning time the day after the last game. A whole lot of black trash bags will be in evidence. And Tyrod Taylor HAS to be thinking, "Why don't they sub me in ?", and I can't blame him. I have a feeling that with his better mobility and good downfield passing ability they might be able to win one or two more games, though I'd rather see them get higher in the draft. As Inga would say to Dr. Froderick Fronkensteen, "It's a puzzlement !".
I think there is 1 person that loves what the Jets are doing this year, Zack Wilson, he can say to teams considering signing him “ see it wasn’t me, it was them. I played better than AR with way less talent “.
The Jets are the best team in the NFL finding ways to lose, maybe the Jets and Giants should merge than would eliminate one failed team from the league and leave room for an expansion team somewhere.
I am so disgusted with them as we all are.
David you do a great job and I am a big fan of TJW, you deserve a bye week too, thanks to you Bobber and the rest of the group as reading TJW is the only fun part of being a Jets fan.
There isn't much positive to write about with this team. I'm not sure I'd agree about turning over the roster so much because they, actually, have filled out the bottom of the roster in a pretty dramatic way. The coaching staff will get turned over because rarely do new head coaches bring back dudes from the previous regime. They want to put together their own staff and their own guys with their own structure. The same can be said of parts of the roster, but unless there are really specific players for really specific schemes, you won't see a ton of roster turnover. It's largely a talented group of players. The leadership has been meddled with to the point that everything is out of whack. It's not as if this is an untalented group. Whatever semblance of leadership and decision making infrastructure present when Rodgers was signed is gone. They've made so many short-term bets that haven't paid off that this team looks like a shell of it's former self.
Spot on, David!!! Finding new ways to lose is the ONLY thing the Jets do well consistently. Rodgers is toast, physically and mentally. That should be abundantly clear to everyone by now. It won't happen, but if the Jets have any hopes of winning any of their last 6-7 games, then Rodgers needs to be benched and start Taylor. Heck if the rookie QB was healthy and had been practicing, I would be for giving him some reps.
I was a little surprised when you said that none of the CS should be retained, however; not even Whitecotton or Boyer? I'm not saying that they should be retained, because I stopped watching weeks ago, and maybe the ST even sucks this year. I thought you had praised Whitecotton earlier for his work with the DL. Have they regressed?
We can only hope that Woody is so frustrated and upset, that he will clean house, but I'll believe it when I see it. I do think he'll want a new HC and GM, and thus probably a new CS, but I'll be stunned if he doesn't want Rodgers and much of the team back.
I'm curious whom you see as the 10 players worthy of keeping. II know that's probably an exaggeration out of frustration, but I'm going to take a stab at seeing if I picked your 10. G. Wilson, J. Tippman, D.J. Reed, J. Sherwood, O. Fashanu, W. McDonald, B. Hall, B. Allen, both Q. Williams,L. Taylor III, T. Morestead, and maybe M. Corley because he was a rookie. That's 13. How'd I do?
Looking at the stats on NFL.com it shows that J. Kinlaw forced 4 fumbles yesterday. Is that accurate?

It's downright frightening.
Its even harder to read or listen about it after each loss - sorry
David has some task with the bye week approaching
It's not fun writing about this team at the moment.
