Here is how the Jets can get back on course

The entire nation saw the latest incarnation of the Jets hitting rock bottom (it’s a long and inglorious history) in their humiliating 49-19 loss to the Patriots on Thanksgiving night.

The Jets were bumbling, comical, and embarrassing. And to think, just two years ago they had been in back-to-back AFC Championship games. Now they’re worse than a punch line.

First, you, Gasper and Holley tell us that Coach Belichick doesn't consult with enough people on decisions, when you know the exact opposite is true. Bill went down to see Nick Saban a few years ago to learn more about secondary play, he consulted with Urban Meyer on offense, Coach Kelly in Oregon on up tempo play production, Jimmy Johnson on team building. More to the point, David Halberstam, you might have heard of him, stated many times that Bill is totally without ego, when looking for better ways to improve his team and that he'll listen to anyone's ideas, if they can help the team. So to suggest that he doesn't listen to his staff is blatently without merit. But I'm not telling you something you, hapless Holley and Gasper don't already know, in spades. Then today, you state that the Jets should disavow group think, holy halftimes, disavow group think, the antithesis of what you crticized Bill for. Do you even remember what you wrote, and do you and Gaspar ever talk to one another to get your fairy tales straight? Jus askin?

Explain to me how the main thrust of a column on imroving the Jets is relevent to us here.

bedard....you want to do diagnosis on fat ryan and THAT team he supposedly coaches....then go write down there. a lot of us here could give two s*&ts about what the jets do or where they are going....eff them!!! 

You know if the Patriots were in their position then those jet fans would be celebrating and ya-hooing 24/7 for 365 about the sorry state of the Patriots. If you are going to be a bleeding heart about teams in the Patriot's division then look at Buffalo...a team that deserves much more than their divisional rivals down in the southern part of the state.

You should realize two things:

1) the jets suck

2) j.e.t.s. stand for Just End The Season
