East Rutherford – This is due to an easy diagnosis. That’s how it was during this miserable year. gave Jet planes Don’t do the little things necessary to win. That is why they Los Angeles lost to the Rams 19-9.. That’s why they’re 4-11. This is why they will miss the playoffs for the 14th consecutive year in professional sports.
How to fix it is a whole different story.
“A lot of things that get us through are the same all season,” the quarterback Aaron Rogers said. “Just the details of certain areas hurt us.”
The Jets have talent. This is not a joke. They do. It’s not like many years in recent memory where they found themselves out of playoff contention long before Santa squeezed. Woody JohnsonChimney offense is protected (Pre Capital of Fisano (potentially suffering a serious foot injury) and playmakers (Garrett Wilson, Deonte Adams, Brace Hall). The defense was the best in football before the early firing. Robert Saleh.
Preseason hype based on talent and talent alone was justified.
What’s so annoying about this team is that they tease you with this potential at some point every week. Sunday’s game was no exception. That first drive, which went 99 yards in 14 plays, was so surgical. Hall hit the ground. Wilson made plays through the air. The line gave Rodgers all day. The final play to end it all: A play fake fooled the defense, Rodgers rolled out, then threw a picture-perfect pass to Adams in the back of the end zone, over a defender, for a toe-tapping score.
But then it all falls apart. The offense never found the end zone again. The defense collapses when it matters most (13 of 19 points allowed in the fourth quarter). Special teams limped (two missed field goals) when they were trusted. Coaches commit unforgivable in-game miscues that prove costly (2 for 5 on fourth down).
You need talent to win, but you can’t win without details.
“I think we have the ability to inspire,” Rodgers said. “But in the end, the motivation comes from within. Everybody has to be motivated to find the little things in the offense where they can really lock down the details, because every single game there are a few plays, ho Could be a game-winning play in the first or second quarter.
“It comes down to small adjustments or details or reactions in the game and just training yourself to react appropriately. Some of it is setting the standard of preparation, but a lot of it is just on all of us. Care enough to invest a little extra time in my opinion.
The Jets will soon have a new general manager. They will add a new coach. In all likelihood they will have a new quarterback. These three will be tasked with giving birth to a new culture.
Nothing will change until that happens.
“We’ve got to get better,” Wilson said. “Gotta get better when it matters.”
