i'm actually pretty happy (considering we lost) with the team and the whole org. i see really good things in the future and i haven't been able to say that in a long time.

+1, if you listen to Mangini's post game presser, the Browns could easily have played for the tie- they even thought about it. Do the math- 1:35 left. I believe the Jets had one TO left- three runs into the line, and game over. One first down and game over. I for one wouldn't have been upset if the game had turned out that way.

@jonny-from-ny said:

I can agree with that. Revis is good when he's healthy. Damn good. But that contract nonsense got in the way, and Cromartie proved he is more than capable of handling the load.

and you could add a #7- Refs inability to call holding on several 3rd down plays that the jets converted!

dude, you cannot blame the referees on that loss today. as you know the browns had a few GREAT chances to win that game. actually the refs called a couple of big holding penalties on the jets, including a phantom hold on brandon moore. cmon man you gotta be better than that, blaming the refs for that type of loss. blame eric wright, blame stucky, blame it on the fact the browns defense couldnt get off the field in the 3rd quarter. blame it on anything other than the refs.

Last week was also the first time this season Revis has gotten the #1 nod. As Boomer says, One time is a fluke, two's a trend.

megatron was targeted four times that game because a healthy Revis was covering him not because they just didnt want to throw him the ball lol

1. Defense can't get a sack to save their lives

2. Stuckey's fumble fingers

3. Cribb's injury

4. No discernible talent at the WR position

5. Time of possession, Jets: 47.08 Browns: 27.36

6. Eric "can't cover shit" Wright

HC, OC, and DC aren't on that list. I remembered to forget more football than you ever forgot to remember...or something like that.

#6 should be #1

and you could add a #7- Refs inability to call holding on several 3rd down plays that the jets converted!

we now finally have competent management be happy

He did get the Megatron assingment last week. But there were still combo coverages, and Megatron was only targeted four times that game.

Revis has been covering slot receivers and #2 receivers since coming back from his injury.

It's nothing to do with our lack of playmakers as it's just the basics of setting up a defense.

Once again, something you would know if you knew jackshit about anything.

Last week Revis covered Calvin Johnson the entire game. Johnson finished with 1 catch for 13 yards. He's clearly the #1 cornerback now.

LOL im cracking up hahahhaha

what are you talking about? the refs seems to favor the big skyline cities? the Jets have the 3rd most penalties in football. what call by the refs helped the jets to win the game??? id love to hear this explanation.

@dawg08 said:

What a way to lose a game!!

Whoa. Our defense just shit the bed. That was their worst performance of the season. And you want to get rid of Daboll? Dude, your focusing on the wrong Coordinator.

Seriously though stop bickering and rally behind this team. We lost a hard fought game and there are a million things that you have changed to make us win this game...Not just 1 thing.

I'm not making any point. I'm being a rational, realistic fan. I'm not bickering. He called me a punk and a pussy just because he didn't like what I had to say.

I'm not satisfied with a loss. We played well, and that's something to be proud of. But it's still a loss, and losing is something I have a hard time swallowing.

That's part of the problem with this franchise since we came back, so many previous coaches have been happy just with competing. It's always been "Oh, we're an expansion team and we only lost by one touchdown. That's pretty good" or "We're rebuilding and at least we didn't get blown out of the water." I'm happy to see this team fight, really I am. And I know it's got to be taken one step at a time. But in order to turn the corner, you've got to stop being satisfied by losing a close game. And that means breaking down what you did wrong. Second guessing every mistake that was made. Because it's only then that you get better. That's the player in me, I guess, and I'm not going to apologize for it.

shoulda. woulda. coulda. let's gear up for next week.

@blowe said:

If Stuckey doesn't fumble we have a chance to win.

They play calling wasn't GREAT today, but it wasn't bad. Get real guys...swallow the tough loss and lets move on to next week.

The problem with that play was it was only a 1 receiver set, giving McCoy only one deep option which he overthrew. If more receivers were in play maybe there would've been a greater chance of success in getting a big play.

Cribbs injury shouldn't have had the catastrophic effect it did on our offense. That's the only point I'm trying to make.

I will agree with everything else though. It wasn't solely on Daboll, and I don't want him fired. But his normal playcalling has got to improve still. Trick plays are all well and good, and so is the WildDawg. But once you take Cribbs away, you need to be able to still constantly maintain an offensive presence.

Granted, that's hard to do when the offense never sees the field in the second half. But that's just gives you even more reason to capitalize on the few chances you do get.

this is one of the few posts in this thread displaying common sense.. I agree with all 6 reasons but would also add: 7. Fujita and Brown both got hurt too.. Haden played very well, but Fujita would have given us a better chance of wrapping up Sanchez..
