Houston Texans Defeats New York Jets On Monday Night Football

Last night the Houston Texans remains undefeated as they defeated the New York Jets 23-17. Looking at this game last night, I believe the Jets could have defeated the Texans.

The coaching staffing primary responsibility is to get their team prepared for whoever their playing. Once the game begins, their job is to put their team in a position to win each game.

I thought the Jets coaching staff really cost this team the oppotunity to win this game. I thought I was watching a college game looking at all the trick plays the Jets were trying to run. If you can get away with one trick play in the NFL you have accomplished a goal, but trying to run several is just bad coaching.

Now, I will let you know why I believe the coaching staff were responsible for this lost. In the 4th quarter, the Jets scored a touchdown on special teams, which brought the Jets to within a 1 possession game 6 points). We all know that possessions and time outs are crucial in the 4th quarter.

After scoring this touchdown and putting the team in a position to win the game, the dumb coaching staff kicks an on-side kick, which was recovered by the Texans. It was still 6 minutes or more to go in the game so this was not necessary. The Texans with a SHORT FIELD because of the on-side kick goes on to score a field goal and now makes it a two possession game leading by 9 points. The Jets didn't recover from this and lose the game by 6 points.

In closing, I think the Jets need to quit trying to run Tebow and Sanchez in and out. They cost themselves 2 timeouts because of personnel mistakes. If you are going to play two quarterbacks, then let them play a series. Rex Ryan needs to quit being a cocky coach and costing his team the chance of winning games.
