Sorry for not posting this sooner but I haven't been on the comp much the past two days and this is too long to post from my phone.
I noticed the DB's were very Jauron-like: playing way too far off the line. For example, if it was 2nd and 5, the CB's were 5 yards off the line and the S's were 7 yards off the line.
There was one play in particular where I think it was a 3rd and 7. They had two WR's lined up to McCown's left. The Bills CB had the outside man and was playing off him but just inside the line of gain. The S had the inside man and was playing PAST the line of gain. I thought- " this is easy- slant to the outside man." Sure enough, when the ball was snapped, the Bills' S backpedaled even further, the inside man rubbed the Bills' CB and it was an easy slant for the first down since the S had taken himself out of the play. And that was the most blatant but it was far from the only time that something equally obvious happened.
Now, I have no football training whatsoever. I do like reading/watching stuff about X's and O's and I've learned a lot from people who actually played and know the game better than I do, but I'm a novice at best. If I can sit on my couch and find the holes in the coverage (after consuming several alcoholic beverages, no less), you can be damn sure the Jets' offensive players and coaches saw it.
This level of predictability is simply inexcusable.
