After a rough Sunday for the New York Jets offense, only being able to scrape 17 points off of the Detroit Lions defense in a 24-17, the fans became restless and began a campaign against quarterback Geno Smith who had two turnovers in the game, chanting “We want Vick” amongst a collection of booing.

According to ESPN New York, the Jets held an offensive players-only meeting to talk about problems and solutions. Smith was one of the few players to talk at the meeting.
“The meeting was for us to kind of vent to one another about some of the things we can do better, and some of the ways we can get better as an offense,” Smith said and added that the meeting was a “group decision.”
Smith also told ESPN New York that players aren’t hanging their heads and being negative despite their 1-3 record.
“No grievances,” Smith said. “I understand semantics are a huge thing in this market, but there were no grievances. I don’t want you guys to get that misunderstood. No one is hanging their head around here and no one is sad. No one is down on themselves.”
Fans were given further reason to hate on Smith after he cursed at a fan after Sunday’s loss, dropping the F-bomb and getting fined $11,025 for it.
There’s undoubtedly a quarterback controversy in New Jersey with veteran Michael Vick sitting on the Jets bench right now. The Buffalo Bills changed their starter in wake of struggles Monday and we’ll see if the Jets do the same and take a chance on Vick.
