May Day 10 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Usually when a coach gets fired mid-season, the team is out of it, players are going through the motions, and the firing is not unexpected This is different. The Jets are a couple plays from 4-1 and they have been playing hard, especially on defense. As far as I know, salei was popular with the players, at least on defense. I'm sure the players know what has happened more than the public. If this was Rodgers' doing, this thing could blow up very badly. There is a lot riding on this game. If it's a slug fest and Rodgers turns the ball over 3 times and they lose, it will get juicy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 So hard to believe that a team led by rodgers at QB, head coach, and GM is so obviously a dumpster fire this early in the season, isn't it? Goes back to what I said again and again and again since the jets brought him in. No reason to ever be concerned about the rodgers 'led' jets, and laughed out loud at so many predicting fantastic success for the jets now.. Four sacks for the Bills this week? 2-3 interceptions? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we also know that Davante Adams will be a Jet before the end of the week. They are all in with Rodgers for better or worse (and so far it's been for the worse).

Rodgers is just the worst. 3 hours ago, May Day 10 said: Usually when a coach gets fired mid-season, the team is out of it, players are going through the motions, and the firing is not unexpected This is different.

If it's a slug fest and Rodgers turns the ball over 3 times and they lose, it will get juicy. The players, particularly on Defense, were tired of no accountability for the awful Offense week after week. They we turning on Saleh. Saleh was an awful choice from day 1. He absolutely should have been fired after last season. He's a very bad gameday HC. The argument that, at 2-3, they may be playing for "1st place in the division" is more an indictment on how bad the AFCE has started off this year. No one can seriously look at this Jets team and say they are playoff bound this year and therefore should keep Saleh. The Jets Offense stinks on ice. It's clear Rodgers has no respect for his HC (same for his last 2). He doesn't even try to hide it. That's a death knell for a scrub like Saleh. Even for a geriatric trust fund baby like Woody Johnson, the math here is easy. He figures it's this year with Rodgers or bust---and he rightly sees keeping Saleh as dooming the Jets to another 7-8 win season. he's not wrong in assuming "anyone but this guy" going forward is his team's best chance.

ren1701 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Just be aware - Salah is a great DC. His defenses are, if I read that right: Since the 2021 season, the Jets defense is 1st in points per drive 1st in EPA per play 3rd in success rate - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Returntoglory Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 A very good friend of mine, whom I used to go to Bills/Jets games when I lived in Manhattan, says there is a rebellion brewing within the players for the firing of Saleh. They are pissed at Rodgers as well. If true, it will be a very interesting game and hopefully get out of hand in a bad way for the Jests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the crazy part, they’re pretty much built to win now and they fire their coach midseason in one of the few years Aaron probably has left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets win Monday night (hardly a stretch with the way the Bills are playing) they will be in first place in the AFCE…hardly dumpster fire territory. This firing—at this point in the season—is very surprising. There has to something major going on behind the scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have to at least partly feel that the owner gave up on them this season which has to be a little deflating if it really was over Saleh trying to demote an objectively terrible OC which seems to be what the reporting alludes to, theres gotta be a locker room rift.

It's a technicality (which is the basis for most of these stats), but Gruden was not fired. He resigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
