The Jets

They quit against the 49ers on Sunday and quit early. They were unbelievably lucky to only be down 10-0 at halftime and yet, they still showed nothing in the 2nd half. And I'm sorry, the 49ers are not as good as everybody says. Their offense is almost as bad as ours, the only difference is Frank Gore instead of Shonn Puke.

Sanchez was terrible, and he's having games like that far too often for a quarterback in his 4th goddamn season. However, this team has a lot of issues that can't all be scapegoated onto the QB. The defense, coached by the self-proclaimed "best defensive coach in football" can't tackle or cover anybody. There's nobody who can get pressure, except maybe Quinton Coples who Rex refuses to play for consecutive snaps for some goddamn reason. There isn't a legitimate starting running back on the team. I'm not one of these people who thinks we don't have enough weapons in the passing game though. Keller is a top 10 TE and has been injured all season. Stephen Hill, for all his drops, has gamebreaking potential and also has been injured for half the season. Kerley is the quintessential slot receiver but can't do it by himself. Obviously the Holmes injury is a backbreaker.

They're gonna lose to the Texans, who were a much superior team even before all these injuries, but I'd at least like to see a little f'ing fight from us on national TV after getting embarrassed like that this past Sunday. The injuries have ruined this season, so that along with his past success gives Rex a pass in my eyes, UNLESS they continue to quit like they did against SF. If Rex can't get his guys to play hard, particularly on defense, I'm through with him.

The quitting is what bothers me the most. I was willing to give Rex a pass for the nonsense of last season. But something isn't right in that locker room/clubhouse when guys just give up like that.

And what the hell happened to Shonn Greene?
