Patriots - 29-26 (L) & 49-19 (L)
Seahawks - 28-7 (L)
Chargers - 27-17 (L)
Vs. Lesser opponents or team with very young / bad QBs:
Bills - 48-28 (W) & 28-9 (L)
Dolphins - 23-20 (W) & 30-9 (L)
Colts - 35-9 (W)
Rams - 27 -13 (W)
Cards - 7-6 (W)
Jaguars - 17-10 (W)
Titans - 14-10 (L)
Now let's tally that up: In the first category, he was 0-7 while giving up at least 24 all but once (and I understand there's some scores given up by the O in a few of these).
In the 2nd category, he was 6-3, gave up +24 in 4 of those games, and in his rematches with the Bills and Phins (Phins especially), got adjusted to and smoked. Aside from Tannehill & Luck (who just looked AWFUL that day), the teams he kept under 24 in this category all had QBs who were on par with Sanchez as far as incompetency. Wanna argue Bradford? Fine
He was 1-1 vs. rookie QBs with one of them (Wilson) going 12-19 with 2 TDs and was in complete control all game.
I'll never ever bash someone for no reason. If the numbers outlined above aren't a concern for a HC who spends virtually all of his time on his D yet can't beat a quality team and allows some of the dregs of the league to clip him a few times as well, what's so encouraging going forward? What he did in '09 & '10? Since then he's been adjusted to and has proven he can't counter the counter.
That's the problem with you guys who want to throw rankings out there. Just because you can (sometimes) bully the league's lightweights doesn't mean jack squat when your @ss gets handed to you on a platter by the 8th graders. The only thing that matters is the final score, and when pitted against better quality opponents the Jets were out-classed, out prepared, and outmatched. You know who needs to get the heat for that? THE HC. And I mean any and all HCs who's team has looked like this one has for the last 2 seasons. Not just Rex.
But as usual, your last sentence says it all. Just keep shovelling the manure towards Tanny & Sanchez, when all this time Rex has had a huge part in whipping up those sh!t sandwiches the Jets have been feeding you the last couple years.
