A coach who takes the hit for his teams failure

Recommended Posts

Last night the pathetic Jets got waxed by a team that couldn't practice and played a home game in Detroit. Rex Ryan stood in front of the podium after the blowout and blamed himself for his teams performamce. Knowing that this game probably sealed his fate, he still had the guts to put it on his shoulders. Keep this in mind if things don't go well in the last five games. Time for a certain coach to man up and take the blame for the result and not throw players under the bus. It will be interesting to see how Rivera handles this if he fails to get this team ready to play.

the last time rivera admitted he made mistakes we went on to a 12 win season.

i guess he learned everything there is to know and now it's everyone else's fault they are failing. after all, he's coach of the year. it just CAN'T be his fault they suck.

I think twice in his career here he stood in front of podium and put blame on himself and coaches. That was this year. Lack of team focus with all the drama earlier this year and I think one of the most recent blowouts he said they have to do a better job. Thats it in 4 years I can remember

In waiting for Rivera to be like, "Nortman only punted the ball 40 yards that one time, setting them up on their 25. We need him to be more consistent even though he punted every other ball 75+ yards and the score was 99-3. If he made that punt, it's a different game".

    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.
