Cold, Hard Football Facts for Dec 05, 2014
Rex Ryan's reign of error continues in New York: his Jets are the dumbest team in football – No. 32 and dead last on the Cold, Hard Football Facts Intelligence Index for yet another week.
The Intelligence Index is our measure of team-wide efficiency in all phases of the game. It tells us which teams score points most efficiently, which teams make opponents work the hardest for the least result, and spits it all out in an easy-to-understand number.
We simply subtract Scoreabilty, a team's scoring efficiency, from Bendabilty, a team's defensive efficiency. It yields a number that tells us which teams are most efficiency in all phases of the game.
It is, essentially, a measure of a team's ability to succeed in situational football. Do you do all the little things right to win games; or do you bumble time and again and do all the little things wrong to lose games?
At the end of the day, smart teams are well-coached teams. Dumb teams are poorly coached teams.
And Ryan's Jets are the dumbest team in football. You can do the math, folks: the Jets suffer from poor coaching.
Ryan has had a nice run. But the team's 2-10 dysfunction here in 2014, with three of the final four on the road, should mark the end of the line for Von Ryan's Express.
The coach's flaws on the offensive side of the ball have come to a boiling head this season. The Jets have scored just 15.8 PPG and rank No. 30 in scoring offense. They'll end the year in the bottom quarter of the league in scoring for the fourth straight season.
Meanwhile, quarterback Geno Smith, a second-round pick in the 2013 draft, looks like he simply cannot play football at an NFL level. Of course, we thought the same thing about his predecessor, Jets former No. 5 overall pick Mark Sanchez.
But Sanchez is suddenly flourishing this year in a different system under a different coach in Philadelphia. Turns out, he might not be that bad after all. Maybe the problem in New York wasn't Sanchez or isn't Smith today.
Maybe the problem is that Ryan simply can't develop quarterbacks. Struggles at the most important position in the game is just one of the problems that plague Ryan's Jets, the dumbest team in football.
