It's time to start the "What coaches are about to go out?" look in the NFL and all eyes are on Todd Bowles of the New York Jets for now.
How long has everything shattered for them.
After being 10-6 in his first season there, the Jets are 13-29, a winning percentage of .310.
How long could Bowles be gone? Consider that the Jets are now heading for a week off. It may therefore seem wise to change things for a club that did not have to fight in the 41-10 Sunday defeat against the Buffalo Bills and quarterback Matt Barkley.
"We use them as coaches," Bowles said. "We perceive it as players."
All true.
Here's another rather telling comment: "It's the first time I feel like someone is really hitting us," said Jets cornerback, Morris Claiborne, "and we do not feel like we're in trouble." we did not do anything about it. "
Keep in mind that bills are nothing special. Barkley is worse than that – an unfortunate man who has never been, almost two years from his most recent start in the NFL. But defensive guru Bowles could not do anything to stop the guy.
Now, the Jets are 3-7 and are heading in the wrong direction, the losers of four consecutive games.
Bowles should not be left alone with questions about how long he will – or should – last in his current job.
As embarrassing as the Jets are suddenly, Bowles is not the only coach whose club looks badly prepared and unable to compete in recent times:
– Doug Marrone's Jaguars in Jacksonville immediately moved from the final standings to the AFC, losing five straight games to 3-6 after a 29-26 loss to the Indianapolis Colts;
– Dirk Koetter's Buccaneers in Tampa Bay defeated the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 and 2, but have lost six of their seven games since their 3-6 win after a 16-year loss. -3 against visiting Washington Redskins;
– Jon Gruden is not about to go anywhere, of course, but his Oakland Raiders are as bad as they are today, returning to 1-8 after losing five consecutive games of at least 14 points each, the last at 20-6 home defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers.
"It will be a year that many of us will never forget," said Gruden. "It's painful."
Jets fans are probably of the same opinion about their season.
In case you missed it, here are some other hot topics after the 10th Sunday of the NFL season:
ROAD, SOFT ROAD
Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman celebrated his victory on the road by hitting home supporters of the NFC East leaders, claiming they "do not really care about all this, they booed everything" and are not really behind us. " Washington is 3-1 in away games, 3-2 at home. "We can play every game on the road, if you ask me," said Norman, who had an early acrobatic interception, one of four turnovers forced by Washington's defense against the Bucs. Later, Norman sent a tweet encouraging viewers to be more supportive and enthusiastic at home. After all, with a 6-3 record, a two-game division lead over the amazingly good Super Bowl champions, Eagles and Cowboys (both 4-5 after Dallas beat Philadelphia 27-20 with help of an obstacle of Ezekiel Elliott). ) and an easy schedule for the rest of the way, the Redskins would hold a playoff game if they avoided a collapse.
LIGHT, CAMERA, ACTION!
The most original celebration of the week in the TD – do you remember the days when the league tried to discourage all those incurring penalties and fines? – courtesy of the Tyreek Hill Speedster from the Kansas City Chiefs. After capturing one of Patrick Mahomes 'two passes during KC' s 26-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Hills jumped into the stands and grabbed the podium. a television camera, capturing images of some of his running mates, as well as the flag. he won for unsportsmanlike conduct. The head coach, Andy Reid, was not really pleased with this aspect of the charade. "It was too much," says Reid. "I'm all in the" personality ", but he was … out of character there."
BETTER THAN OMAHA
Thank Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff for leading a powerful attack that helped his team to a 9-1 start. Also recognize him for Los Angeles' 36-31 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Halle Berry.
