FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Brian Schottenheimer heard it from his wife. He also got an earful from his father.
Not to mention the fans and the media.
Everyone, it seems, wanted to know how the New York Jets could possibly get shut out with all of the talent they have on offense.
"Hey, we didn't play very well," New York's offensive coordinator said Thursday. "It's just unfortunate. We feel like offensively, we lost the game for us. We own that. It's inexcusable. We need to play better."
The Jets' 9-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was certainly a head-scratcher, particularly when you consider the plethora of playmakers they have.
Or, perhaps, in some strange way, is that the root of the problem? Too much talent creates too many gameplanning complications to try to get everyone involved.
"No, it really doesn't," Schottenheimer said. "I can see where you think it would. What it does is it makes it to where you really have to package your personnel groupings. That's the hardest part about it."
The Jets (5-2) would love to have Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes, Jerricho Cotchery, Brad Smith, Dustin Keller, LaDainian Tomlinson and Shonn Greene all out on the field at the same time, but have to constantly rotate them.
