Joe Brady is a concern.

Without a great performance by Snow and the Defense we would have lost to the Jets today. Our 3rd down conversion and Redzone conversion is as horrible as last year.

I came here thinking I might be the only one thinking this …  

Two halves .  
Red Zone didn’t look good.  

The Jets aren’t good

Even though he had a touchdown, how many looks did Anderson get?  Arnold?  Take away the checkdown (CMC) and we might have lost the game. 

Play calling in the red zone is as bad as the execution.

Well since we are going to freak out over one game....in one game he has gotten solid improvement from a QB with league worst numbers a season ago.

I disagree,, it’s not just one game. 
This goes back to last year,, and because Darnald is hopefully better than Teddy, we weren’t inept on offense.

I mean, the last two years we have been investing heavily in players for Phil Snow. 

the foundation of our O (OL and QB), potentially could be the weakest combo in the entire NFL.   That could have something to do with why we struggle in scenarios…..where football is the most difficult.  Think too much is falling on a 2nd year OC to simply scheme around such a weak foundation just because their is skill position talent.

Brady had to understand that in the NFL, versus college, the team lining up on the other side of the ball is nearly your equal EVERY WEEK, so if your game plan suddenly hits a wall adjustments have to be made.  In college, especially against lesser teams, you can stubbornly stick to the game plan after some stalled drives and still end up being okay.  In the NFL, you have to make those decisions on the fly.  He FINALLY figured it out in the 4th quarter after it was almost too late.

I thought the offense looked good in the first half, so maybe we can chalk it up to their halftime adjustments, particularly as their HC was an elite level DC for years.

Darnold threw for almost 300 yards and didn’t turn it over in the air. We didn’t hand it off to a fullback on 4th down. The ball was pushed downfield throughout the game. The TEs got some love today. CMac didn’t carry the team on his back like 2018. 
 

I guess some people are going to complain no matter what. 

I disagree. It’s not about whining for whining sake. We saw lots of improvements.  
But red zone still looked bad. Play call in the second half was bad. The Jets ARE NOT GOOD .  So yes, I didn’t see improvements from our offense corridnator .  Yes our players are better, but not his coaching.

Improvements are clock management. We didn’t have to call timeouts because we couldn’t get the play called.

He didn't call plays at LSU.  Let's get that cleared up right now.  He was just the passing game coordinator or some poo.

"And remember, Brady didn’t even call most of LSU’s plays this year. He called a lot of the red-zone plays, and he called some from the “empty” backfield sets and “compact” (bunched) formations that LSU ran (which meant he called several of the TD plays Monday)."

Therein lies the problem.  If Brady had no clue that the Jets were going to dial up the pressure on Darnold being down several scores in the second half, then something is VERY wrong.  He should have anticipated it and has the foresight to adjust the game plan accordingly.

Ironically he sucks at that in the nfl.

While I don't disagree I just wanted to clear up some misinformation in the thread.

He wasn't the regular play caller, that was the point.

We invested a good bit in offense. Teddy,Darnald ,Kept Moton, drafted Marshall Jr, Shi Smith,Tremble,Brown,Christensen. I mean its only been two years but outside of LT and LG we have a good unit on offense. Our Defense on the other hand lost a terrible amount of players and has been coached well and we have drafted well too.
