I have been a Jets fan since about 1980. I have experienced all sorts of disappointments and what not. Why belabor the point when it comes to that?

I just have to say that the loss to the Patriots – I mean watching that game – was absolutely THE worst experience I have ever had as a Jets fan with maybe the exception of the 1986 playoff game in Cleveland. I was besides myself.

The Holmes drop in the endzone against the Dolphins was a capper to 7 days of “joy.”

Like most Jets fans, I have been forced to ask “why?”

Why did a 9-2 team show up like a bunch of chumps in New England (especially when they pwned NE only 2 months before that).

Why is it that the Jets offense can so completely vanish in the 4 losses this season. (Let’s remember that this team is 9-4. There are only 4 teams with records better than 9-4.)

Let’s do the math.

Baltimore – 9 pts – 176 yards
Green Bay – 0 pts – 360 yards
NE – 3 pts – 301 yds
Miami – 6 pts – 281 yds

Before moving on – let me point out that the Jets outgained their opponents in 2 of those 4 losses by significant margins.

In the 9 wins, Sanchez performed great. He was especially good in the 4 wins immediately before the Jets hit the skids. He threw the ball well and made great plays when they were needed to win the game.

So what gives? What explains this Jeckyl and Hyde record?

How is it that Sanchez and the Jets offense can be so prolific in 9 wins and suddenly vanish producing an average of 4.5 pts/game in 4 losses (in spite of yardage that would seem to lead to many more pts)?

I have heard some Jets fans say Sanchez is soft, not too bright, has small hands – all sorts of bullshit. Let’s be clear – that is all bullshit.

Sanchez AIN’T THE PROBLEM. So let’s get that out of the way. There is simply no way a guy can look that great in 9 games and that awful in the other 4 without some other missing ingredient.

I know what that ingredient is and I will defend the most dreadful performance by #6 until that ingredient is gone.

But first – also consider this. This is what the Jets have on the offensive side of the ball.

Offensive Line – widely and justifiably considered to be one of the best in the league.

WR – Edwards, Holmes (notwithstanding the gaffe), and Cotchery are better than most WR crews in the league.

TE – Dustin Keller – has shown he can do the job in the passing game

RBs – LT and Shonn Green – Lots of talent and muscle there

So what is the problem – how can such a team be reduced to impotent buffoons 4 times this season and numerous times before?

Brian Schottenheimer

That is your answer. This man MUST GO!

I will admit that he has shown signs of brilliance – but let’s GET REAL!!!

He can turn gold into lead. He can turn Silver into Shit. A coach has to be able to build a game plan that maximizes the strengths of his team.

How often has BS (how appropriate are these initials) done that?

How often do you say – “Ya know, our offense is performing greater than the sum of its parts.”

Under BS – NEVER!!!

How often do you think the reverse – EVERY DAMNED WEEK.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill – “Never has so little been done with so much.”
