Rex Ryan punched a wall before speaking with the media following the New York Jets’ loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday, Newsday reports.
Rex was obviously frustrated by his team’s 27-25 loss, which ended when Nick Folk’s 58-yard field goal attempt was blocked.
Here’s how Newsday describes Ryan after the game:
He took a moment to compose himself in a near-empty hallway before he faced the cameras and the questions. But his emotions were just too real and too raw.
Without warning, he cursed under his breath and punched the wall, releasing all of his pent-up anger in one quick jab.
Ryan said after the game that he was frustrated because he feels the team is much better than their 1-6 record indicates. He actually feels like the Jets have been better than their recent opponents to whom they’ve lost. I’d definitely disagree with that.
The Jets’ problem is the same one they’ve experienced throughout Rex’s tenure as head coach of the team: they don’t have a quarterback. Their offensive line, running game and defense used to be enough to get them to the playoffs. Now that their line and defense are weaker, we’re seeing how bad they actually are. It’s a shame, too, because Rex is a good coach. He just needs a quarterback.
