Sure Nate "choked," but the fact is he made plenty of great FGs throughout the regular season, that A LOT of kickers miss. He ain't no Wide Richey.
Honestly, I blame the offense more than anything. They were supposed to put up POINTS. The 17 points given up by the Defense is OK, but the offense was supposed to put up more points than that. I think they gave that Jets defense too much credit, they didn't even take many shots deep to keep the Jets D honest, probably like 1 or 2 if that.
There was just so much shit they COULD HAVE done on offense. Screens, more running, spread out to isolate the blitzers and create matchups, ....
The D could have played more aggressive too however. I rarely saw any exotic blitzes or blitzes in general. Give any QB too much time and they'll find the open man. That's why all the great defenses play TOUGH, send heavy blitzes and such because it creates turnovers.
Also Norv needs to MENTALLY PREPARE the troops better. All those penalties are uncalled for.
I think it just goes to show what great coaching can do. A rookie coach with AGGRESSIVE defensive philosophy and RUN heavy approach. A PHYSICAL approach that is proven to win in football.
