Joe Douglas Fired

[Chickie 73]

The Curse of Joe Willie takes another soul. And it won’t matter. How many GM’s have the Jets had since the Curse? Has it mattered? It’s like rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic.

Won't matter until Woody Johnson sells the team or dies. One of the worst owners in sports. Clueless. 

Joe Douglas made some mistakes, but he also hit some home runs.  Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, Jermaine Johnson, AVT, Sauce is a bit overrated but still a very good player. Will McDonald looks good so far. Made the smart pick with Fashanu this year. Joe Tippman last year. And further, you have to look at free agent signings / waiver claims like DJ Reed and Quincy Williams. .... of course some of this good is offset by drafting Zach Wilson and not having a more veteran backup plan in 2023. Mekhi Becton as well. 

I thought the Jets could have kept him around and simply told him he wasn't going to have a say in the next coaching hire, be thankful he's still employed. It's hard to keep a coach and fire a GM but I think it can work the other way around.

Jets start 2-3.....The Jets suck! It's Saleh's fault! Woody fires Saleh.

Jets proceed to go 1-5.....The Jets suck! It's all Douglas' fault! Woody fires Douglas.

Jets will now go 2-4 and finish at 5-12. And then who do they blame?

Woody sucks and Rodgers sucks and they are the problem. But I don't like the Jets anyway so I'm enjoying this implosion.

I think the team got a bit unlucky too.  it felt like they had a tougher than average schedule.   

so a bit of bad luck played a role too along with some narrow defeats
