Adam Gase Gets The Jets Job
THE DOLPHINS HAVE WON A FOOTBALL GAME!
The 2019 Jets, astronomical failures that they are, outside somehow embarrassing the Cowboys, have become possibly the only victim of a team trying to lose. The Phins have traded away basically everyone of value on the roster. The Jets went into this season trying to win football games. You’d be forgiven for not realizing that, because they hired Adam Gase.
Which is still probably the biggest “but…….why?” of the entire year. What on earth did the Jets brass see in Adam Gase? They had a front row seat to his general ineptitude in Miami for several seasons. Miami reached the playoffs just once under Gase, sneaking in as a 6th seed, and getting promptly obliterated by the Steelers. They were never good again. His ineptitude drove the team into the toilet far enough that they straight up decided to go full rebuild in a way we haven’t seen before. They figured it would be easier to blow up everything than keep anything Gase had done. The Jets looked at this, and said…yeah, that guy.
It has proven even worse than expected.
The Jets got new uniforms and the era is off to a very poor start. Darnold looks bad. He hasn’t taken a step forward this year, nor can he, because the line is also bad. He famously saw ghosts, which might explain why he’s willing to get rid of the ball to just anyone around instead of take a sack like he’s being hugged from behind by Patrick Swayze. The Jets though actually went to try and get some playmakers this year! You’d be forgiven if you forgot Le’Veon Bell is in NY, so has everyone. Gase reportedly didn’t even want him. He didn’t want one of the best backs in the league. They grabbed CJ Mosley. They got Jamison Crowder. They made one huge splash and picked up a few possibly okay starters. This team was trying to win games.
They just lost to a team that is openly tanking!
Now the Bengals are in sole possession of the #1 pick, but that is another team in serious flux that nobody expected much out of. The Jets hoped to improve. This is…not that. I’d be surprised if Gase survives the season at this rate. The fanbase didn’t want him and have already turned toxic on him.
Thank fuck Miami won. I dont know about Whirlwind, but for me, I’d be okay with 2-14 every year as long as those two wins came against the Jets.
Close. I’d want one of them to be over Buffalo. But yeah, this is like taking off tight shoes.
And New England lost as well! Now I just need San Francisco to lose and I can FINALLY get on the tank!
Good ol’ Fitzpatrick, good for nothing other than ruining your draft order.
Thank you. Ask for a Darnold ghost reference and received one. The timing is almost too perfect. Which makes me wonder; you knew the Jets would lose.
I was hiking in beeyooteefull NE, and came acrost a fella wearing a dolphin’s hat. i gave him props for representing a snakebitten team (i do the same for mets fans), and he said yeeeah they’re gonna lose again today. i told him to never underestimate the jet’s ability to jets. i know he was thinking of that exchange later.
Wow, that ghost chasing Darnold sure is cute.
Also, I’m glad that Miami, despite their overt tanking, still managed to get a win. No team deserves the ignominy of going winless for a season. The 2008 Lions still bring about all my pity. At least the ’76 Buccaneers were a 1st-year expansion team and everyone fully expected them to be naturally horrible, so it’s understandable and they get a pass for that…
No love for the Browns eh
I think everyone just forgets about that because the Browns are known for sucking. So are the Lions, of course, but they’ve sprinkled in enough success here and there that a full on winless season seems like a big deal. Also, it was the first 0-16. They were pioneers.
Adam Gase is so petty he just might intentionally lose to the Dolphins just to ruin the tank
That makes sense actually.
Things were so effed up in this game that there were TWO safeties – one each way – but ESPN tried to give the points for Miami’s safety to the Jets!
Wide open for the #1 pick now. We’ll have to put Rosen back in if we’re going to fall behind enough here.
I wonder what’s going to happen to Rosen after this season, especially if the Dolphins do go with Tua, Herbert, or the kid from LSU. Rosen surely looks like a backup at best, and Fitz is a much better role model and mentor
He’s gonna get traded to the Broncos so they can go full tank post Elway.
Don’t the Broncos have Drew Lock though?
Same reason Fitzpatrick bounces around the AFC East, the 3 other franchises besides the Patriots look at whichever one went 8-8 and think, wow that could be us.
The Bills front office seams to have gotten their act together though, despite the disadvantage of being in Buffalo. Not that Buffalo’s bad, it’s just, small market + cold + recent dysfunction = bad free agency destination.
Live long Fins fan here. I can finally support the tank now that the Pats lost one. Can’t have them attempting 19-0 again. Now I’ll be cheering for the bengals so we can get our #1 pick back!
Andy Dalton might be the AFC East’s favorite player.
To bad he got benched 🙁
i’ll go for 18-1 as long as the 1 is regular season.
Just think… the Jets could have had Mike McCarthy, a QB guru with a SB win under his belt. Instead, they hired Adam Gase. I feel bad for Jets fans.
Mcarthy wasn’t much better, he piggybacked off of Aaron Rodgers’ talent for a decade.
as a pats fan (see name), i’d rather have mcCarthy as the jet’s coach. he could at least go 6-10, 8-8, 7-9 ad ininitum. gase is dead meat and then maybe the jets’ll get someone competent
(LOL)
