What I saw was an offense that was dysfunctional. At times it played very well, but it simply couldn't get everyone working on the same page.
The defense played pretty well. Their big problem was penalties. Good Lord, they set a team record for penalty yards, IIRC. That's also a communication problem, and THAT goes right back to Ryan, who has put together a group of pretty good athletes who cannot function as a team.
If the JETS can get everyone to pay attention and be on the same page at the same time, they can win some games. However, until that happens, tonight will be the benchmark and they'll be Detroit East.
I will also say here that the worst thing that team did was to agree to be on "Hard Knocks". I don't think they were or are disciplined enough to do both a TV series as well as pay attention to what they need to do as a football team. I think they've been overly distracted by everything that's been going on, and the result was the performance we all saw tonight.
Coach preaches to the Patriots every day of every week of every month one thing: "Do Your Job". It's that simple. The JETS weren't doing their own jobs, they were trying to compensate for other player's weaknesses, and as a result they started to make errors and forget their own assignments.
The JETS have great potential. Unfortunately, it's results that count. Potential and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. It won't win games.
Sunday ought to be a GREAT game for New England fans.
