So, here we go again:
-Poor QB play
-Inability to make halftime adjustments by the coaching staff, specifically still running the ball up the middle when there is clearly no room.
-No killer instinct: the Jets tried to hand us this game with their 2 turnovers, team record amount of penalties, and Rex's stupid challenges, but we failed to capitalize
-Too many injuries and no depth to cover for them, particularly on the OL and at CB
-Too many big plays given up on D, too few made on O
-Too many third down conversions given up on D, too few made on O
-Still
-Veterans and supposed "star" players not coming through (specifically Mario Williams and CJ Spiller- Chandler sucked aside from the one TD play as well)
-After one game of being clutch, Stevie is right back to his antics with another dumb penalty (waiting for the homers to defend his stupidity because he got in Wilson's head in 3...2...1... this is football, not hockey)
-Horrendous run D- we got shredded by a no-name yet again
-The QB we passed on in the draft completely embarrassed the one we took
-0-2 in the division, 2 games and a tiebreaker behind the Fish and Pats, one game and a tiebreaker behind the jets- AFTER JUST 3 GAMES
-Too many penalties- which is embarrassing because this game was actually an improvement over the previous 2.
-Still getting crushed in TOP.
So, what exactly is different about this team? What exactly is better about this team as compared to previous teams? I had a suspicion this game would be a reality check- I wasn't completely convinced because the Jets are terrible, but my gut feeling turned out to be correct. This was a wake-up call. We continue to struggle in the division, we continue to have a LOT of the same problems that have plagued us for as long as anyone can remember. And we can't finish- when we kicked the ball away with about 4:00 left to play, I said to my dad "This is a rerun- we've seen this episode before." I'm so tired of that feeling.
The Ravens are going to embarrass us next week (and I know people are going to give me **** for saying that if we keep it close- but regardless of what I say, the goal is to win and we won't do that).
