That was the worst loss of the Rex era to me. Worse than the 45-3 loss to the Pats. At least that game was on the road against a pissed off team that won 14 games and I didn't feel like the Jets quit at any point, they just got badly outplayed. They quit against the 49ers on Sunday and quit early. They were unbelievably lucky to only be down 10-0 at halftime and yet, they still showed nothing in the 2nd half. And I'm sorry, the 49ers are not as good as everybody says. Their offense is almost as bad as ours, the only difference is Frank Gore instead of Shonn Puke.

Sanchez was terrible, and he's having games like that far too often for a quarterback in his 4th goddamn season. However, this team has a lot of issues that can't all be scapegoated onto the QB. The defense, coached by the self-proclaimed "best defensive coach in football" can't tackle or cover anybody. There's nobody who can get pressure, except maybe Quinton Coples who Rex refuses to play for consecutive snaps for some goddamn reason. There isn't a legitimate starting running back on the team. I'm not one of these people who thinks we don't have enough weapons in the passing game though. Keller is a top 10 TE and has been injured all season. Stephen Hill, for all his drops, has gamebreaking potential and also has been injured for half the season. Kerley is the quintessential slot receiver but can't do it by himself. Obviously the Holmes injury is a backbreaker.

They're gonna lose to the Texans, who were a much superior team even before all these injuries, but I'd at least like to see a little f'ing fight from us on national TV after getting embarrassed like that this past Sunday. The injuries have ruined this season, so that along with his past success gives Rex a pass in my eyes, UNLESS they continue to quit like they did against SF. If Rex can't get his guys to play hard, particularly on defense, I'm through with him.

The quitting is what bothers me the most. I was willing to give Rex a pass for the nonsense of last season. But something isn't right in that locker room/clubhouse when guys just give up like that.

And what the hell happened to Shonn Greene?

A few things come to mind: one, he doesn't have the body to be an every down running back. He's small and not in particularly good shape. Not to mention he's impatient as hell and has never in his life waited for a hole to develop. He just plows into the line and hopes for the best. Two, this is not nearly the same run blocking line we had in 2009. Slauson is way inferior to Faneca, Hunter/Howard can't compare to Woody, Brick has never been a good run blocker, so we're left basically with Mangold and Moore to carry the whole line in the run game.

Yeah, a buddy and I were discussing how effective he was behind LT. He's just not a number 1 guy. Unfortunately, they have nothing behind him.

Lots of holes in this team.

knowing who stinks, is much more valuable betting information than knowing who is good. Kind of obvious that the Jets stink. From what I've seen of the Lions, they are terrible. They desperately need this bye week. Maybe thye will rebound, but Stafford is a one look guy, it's a wonder they can move the ball. Until he looks off his primary guy and fires a few meaningful passes right in there, they would be a bet against. Last year when the Pats cut that fat lazy slug Albert Haynesworth, and Tampa Bay picked him up and said he would be starting, it was obvious that they were a go against for the rest of the year. So, who else stinks ? any good local info out there ?
