I'd put Saleh in mild. But I guess it depends on how you want to look at it. If Saleh and Belichick both go 8-9, Saleh is way more likely to be fired, but Saleh's team also appears to be way less likely to go 8-9 in the first place.

I also think Saleh should get a pass and is possibly a good coach but we're all saying this immediately after he beat the division favorites on prime time with Zach Wilson. If the Jets go 6-10 the rest of the way, the sentiment will probably change.

From a process standpoint, drafting Wilson at 2 was probably he most sane thing Douglas did at QB. He was a clean prospect.

Febreeze posted:I don't remember him being a clean prospect, I remember him being considered a bust candidate thanks to him being a manziel style run around and ball type who beat up weak competition at BYU during the lean covid season. He was one of those guys nobody talked about until like the combine when all of a sudden he'd rocketed past several other prospects like Fields and Jones Maybe "clean prospect" is overselling things a tad but he was the #2 QB on just about every draftnik's board. He certainly wasn't a divisive pick a la Allen, Lance, or Richardson.

mcmagic posted:I think you can say Saleh and Douglas are 100% safe for the year now no matter what my personal opinion of them is. The narrative about Saleh and Douglas's job security vacillates on a fortnight basis. If the Jets lost their next two, we'll be back to super hot seat for them.

Diva Cupcake posted:Hypothetically if your backup QB is getting starters reps and looks like the 25th-28th best QB in the league, that's somewhat acceptable? I'm sure Trevor Siemien isn't beating him out. That's way overselling Wilson. He looks like probably the 45th-50th best QB in the league, which is still a massive leap for him. Like you still take most backups over him, but at least you're taking him over most of the QB3's now.

McDermott ended the playoff drought so I feel like he almost certainly gets a mulligan, UNLESS the Bills win like two or fewer games the rest of the way. (Which might be kind of likely considering the rest of their schedule and who they've already lost to.)

I do think it's telling that the Bengals, for example, have the same expectations and have struggled similarly but there's no obvious panic.

Belichick will be 72 going into next season and his teams over the past couple of years have been coached like dogshit. Every single Patriots game there are dumbass procedural penalties or special teams gaffes and the announcers act incredulous and say "this doesn't look like a Bill Belichick coached team!"

Tyler Dunne just wrote a Sean McDermott hit piece, so x-posting this from this from the AFC East thread…quote:At St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, N.Y., McDermott’s morning address began innocently enough. He told the entire team they needed to come together. But then, sources on-hand say, he used a strange model: the terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. He cited the hijackers as a group of people who were all able to get on the same page to orchestrate attacks to perfection. One by one, McDermott started asking specific players in the room questions. “What tactics do you think they used to come together?” A young player tried to methodically answer. “What do you think their biggest obstacle was?” A veteran answered, “TSA,” which mercifully lightened the mood

Re: Tepper, my guess is that he's rocked the apple cart so much about how things are supposed to be done that the league and/or other owners want him to settle down? It's not good for the league to have just one team ending up with the #1 pick every year and running a clown car operation where an established coach like Reich gets fired faster than Urban Meyer or Nathaniel Hackett did. Just like a coordinated message that his meddling is so invasive and deleterious that it's actually crossed a line. Febreeze posted:I don't think any of the other owners or Roger care about Tepper being gone Actually yeah, this seems like possibly the most sensible explanation.

Allen absolutely dives more than any football player I've ever seen. It's his passive QB power, like Mahomes's ability to conjure up ticky tack defensive holding calls or Brady's complete immunity to intentional grounding penalties.
