FOXBOROUGH
Lac Edwards Jerseys 2019 , Mass. (AP) — Long after the outcome of the game was in any doubt and the season had been drained of any meaningful suspense, the New York
Jets added one last dollop of disgrace.Trailing their five-time Super
Bowl-winning rivals by five touchdowns in the final minute of the season finale,
the Jets got the ball back after New England was unable to kneel out the clock.
But De'Angelo Henderson fumbled it right back on the very first play — and the
Jets' final snap of the season."It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing to go out
here and lose 38-3," said quarterback Sam Darnold, who finished his rookie
season with 2,698 yards passing and 17 touchdowns with 15 interceptions after
the Jets lost their season-finale to the Patriots 38-3 on Sunday. "I'm really
proud of the way we fought, the way we competed, it just wasn't
enough
White James Carpenter Jerseys ," he said.Now, the question is: Who will be the coach for the team's QB of the future? Todd Bowles was fired after the team
returned to its facility in Florham Park, New Jersey, going 24-40 in four
seasons that included no playoff appearances."He just said that he's proud of us
and proud of the way we fought," Darnold said after the game.The Jets (4-12)
fell behind 21-3 early in the second quarter and never threatened the AFC East
champs.Coming off three solid games since returning from a foot injury, Darnold
completed 16 of 28 passes for 167 yards with no interceptions. He did fumble
once — when Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy scooped it up and ran 46 yards for
a score that made it 28-3 early in the third.It was a dismal ending to a rough
year for the Jets and Bowles, who remained consistent and didn't want to talk
about his future when asked three times after the loss — New York's ninth in its
last 10 games.Asked about his emotions following the end of the season, Bowles
said: "Probably the same as the record — 4-12
James Carpenter Jerseys 2019 , that's not very good."Bowles said it was a "coach's decision" not to play star cornerback Trumaine Johnson.Johnson didn't play after
he was late to the facility Wednesday and held out of practice. He also
apologized to his teammates."Why was I late?" Johnson said. "I woke up
late."Johnson said during the week he expected to play, but Bowles decided
during the pregame that he would be inactive."I was upset, but I couldn't do
nothing about it," Johnson said.Many of the Jets players were asked about
playing for Bowles and his future in the locker room after the game."Coach
Bowles is a good person, a good coach and he leads by example, but his wins
didn't add up to where he probably wanted them to be," said corner Buster
Skrine, who replaced Johnson in the lineup."One thing about Coach
Bowles
White Buster Skrine Jerseys , he's a professional and he understands the business," Skrine said. "If there is a decision, if he's going or he stays, it's
not the first time he's been a head coach or a coach in the NFL, or at any
level."Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams appeared resigned to the fact that Bowles
will be fired — something he didn't agree with."Todd Bowles is my favorite coach
since I've played this game and I hate to see him go down like that, which –
it's probably happening," Adams said. "But, man
Buster Skrine Jerseys 2019 , you live and you learn. Man, this world is crazy."Linebacker Tarell Basham credited Bowles with his development but didn't
talk about the rumors."At the end of the day, as a player, I can't control
that," he said. "All I can do I go out there and play. I feel like I got to
develop as a player, became a better player and came out of my shell." With
former Packers coach Mike McCarthy going all in for the Jets job and with the
Jets going all in for Adam Gase, McCarthy is officially SOL for 2019.The good
news is that the Packers will pay him to not work, until his contract expires.
It’s expected that he’ll land a gig in broadcasting
White Brian Winters Jerseys , taking his Pittsburgh dialect most likely to Bristol, joining an ever-growing army of on-air analysts.So what happens next
for McCarthy the football coach? He could end up being in play in 2020, or maybe
not. The fact that there was no land rush for his services in the current hiring
cycle underscores the widespread concerns regarding perceived (or actual)
inflexibility and simplicity of his approach to offense. It’s widely regarded as
an all-too-easily defended attack, lacking in creativity and
innovation.Apparently, the various teams currently looking for head coaches
agreed.The one place he could end up eventually being in play is Seattle.
McCarthy and G.M. John Schneider are believed to be close friends, and Pete
Carroll is likely moving toward the end of his run with the Seahawks. If
Schneider stays post-Pete, McCarthy could be the successor to Carroll.
