Where did the New york Jets go wrong?

Unfortunately your Jets got caught up in the Salary cap game and waged their future on a number of high priced veterans.  In order to win in the NFL you need to find mostly cheap veterans that can do the job, a couple of high priced stars at playmaking positions, and a nice crop of younger players that play well before their contracts are up and become high priced veterans.  In these three areas the Jets overpaid for the majority of their veterans, did not have enough low priced veterans to fill key holes at select positions and those needed as insurance in case a starter becomes injured.  The contribution by their younger players did not progress as well as they had hoped.  this means the Jets will restructure the roster and purge it of high priced veterans.  They should be on track in the playoffs in the 2008 season.  I look for them to be aound 5-11 next year then maybe 8-8 the year after with a good 11-5 season if they do things right.  hope this helps.

Mistakes in play calling\nthey went away from the run which got them to the big game and Hassleback threw for over 40 passes in the superbowl.  The linebackers couldnt stop the run at all allow parker to run over them and keep getting first downs.  The refs also made some questionable calls but they were no excuse to loose how they did.

I'm not going all that detailed, I'm sticking with just the first 2 rounds.\n\nFerguson is a very good possiblility, unless the Jets disappoint us again and trade down. We need protection, but our offensive line is better than Houston's; they need him more than we do. Pennington and Fiedler have just had unfortunate luck.\n\nIf the person above me really is involved with the Jets front office, then they would know that Jay Cutler is NOT going to drop to the second round. The Jets could take Anthony Smith, safety out of Syracuse. I know who he is, and he will be a sleeper because he played on an aweful team. But according to Mel Kiper, he has excellent cover skills for a safety, and will help Ty Law in the backfield.

The Jets made the smart moves, just not the ones most Jets fans see as sexy or exciting. What they did with the fourth overall pick was pick up an All-Pro level talent that they can plug in at Tackle for the next 15 years, and know that WHOEVER is back there taking snaps, they'll be protected on one side.\n\nIf the Jets can eke out a decent season with Pennington, there are plenty of free-agent quarterbacks available after this season to pounce on. That's why they cut nearly everyone, from Fabini to Mawae, and restructured Pennington's contract--they'll be way under the cap next year at this time (they are even slightly under now).\n\nOf course, if they have another miserable season, they can always get Brady Quinn in next year's draft. Personally, that's the route I'm hoping for.\n\nWith two OL starters, a linebacker who'll be in the mix as a starter in the new 3-4 alignment, a solid backup QB (who some draft gurus project will be a better pro than Leinart anyway), a hard-hitting safety with better-than average hands, and more picks to come, the Jets are having an excellent draft so far.

Next year will be a rebuilding season. With a new coach, he will be given a free pass on the results next year. So, he is likely to begin looking for long-term solutions rather than using place-holder players (mid-priced veteran free agents). The Jets will have some significant salary cap issues with which to deal and likely will need to cut a few veterans to manage them. They will also need to find a long-term solution at RB. While Curtis Martin might be able to start for another year, even that may be too optimistic. Finally, two of their best defenders this past season, John Abraham and Ty Law, are unlikely to return (JA because he is unhappy with not getting a long term deal; TL because he is a cap problem).

Every year I drive myself crazy getting ready for football.  I get so excited..................... Only to be disappointed by the Jets.  But I still love 'em.

I don't think the worst team in football is the Houston Texans. Houston has a very young talented roster that lacks veteran leadership which makes them appear as "the worst team" when the real worst team is the NY Jets. The Texans are a couple defensive impact players away from being a .500 team. \n\nThe NY Jets are an organization in dismay right now with no real leadership on the offensive or defensive side of the ball. On the offense, Chad Pennington is just an average quarterback prone to injury, the Jets receivers are inexperienced with lack of a ligament quarterback and Curtis Martin (despite playing good last year) is just getting to old to compete in the NFL anymore. The defense is too young and inexperienced to stop the high powered offences in the AFC. \n\nWhile the Texans arn't near close to being one of the best teams in football they can sleep soundly knowing that they arn't the worst team in football.

Lundy. The Jets have one of the worst running D's in the league.

Could have been one of the best I've seen, but there's a glaring hole at RB.  RB is the key to winning, in my opinion.  Edgerrin took the money & ran off to ARIZ.... and now is paying the price.  That O-line there stinks!  With McGahee out, you seriously need to pursue another RB.

I see your point, and perhaps it's time they just change their names, but the location of the games does not determine the area they chose to represent.\nThe Giants and Jets rent the stadium known as Giants Stadium, or the Meadowlands if the Jets are home. However, this is primarily due to financial reasons that make it more profitable to play in Jersey while not actually becoming a Jersey team due to tradition of the teams' names. Remember, neither the Giants nor the Jets own the stadium; they just rent it from the NJ Sports and Exposition Authority. It's cheaper to do that than to try and build a new stadium somewhere in NYC.

Its a mistake from this standpoint as well. They got rid of a terrible contract(LaFrenz) take on a bad contract(Ratliff). Ratliff is now hurt.

Plain and simple: Win. \n\nAnd keep Pennington healthy. That fall during yesterday's game nearly gave me a panic attack. He's lucky he didn't really hurt himself or I think the Jets would be done.

The Chiefs have not got a good thing going as they will never be able to beat a decent team on the road with Huard at QB.  The game plan will have to limited of necessity because his skills are limited.  Green is a pro bowl QB when healthy and if Edwards insists on playing Huard after Green is fully recovered he should go.  It does seem that the Jets are better now that he is gone.
