These are the pieces the JETS management was hoping videogate would blunt. Eric is like a BB coaching school dropout. He just doesn't get it. If you claim had a good game plan and poor execution is at fault then saying it's coaches and players is a cop out. He just threw the team who trusted his "genius" under the bus 'cause he got owned by his master. The only one who stepped up, as best he could on the one remaining leg Mangini sent him back in there on, was poor Noodle. The guy JETS fans love to hate because it's easier than admitting your whole organization remains a joke.
"We had a good game plan, but we didn't execute the game plan as well as it should've been executed," said Eric Mangini, who fell to 1-3 against his mentor-turned-enemy, Bill Belichick. (Yes, there was a handshake, but not a man hug.) "That's all of us. It's coaching and players, across the board."
After five months of preparation, the Jets were schooled. And it hurt. "At home, to lose like we did, it's definitely embarrassing," Rhodes said.
"A lot of us slept real easy (Saturday night) because we felt so confident about the game plan," wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said. "This is deflating."
It should be."
