Todd Bowled Over

New York Jets coach Todd Bowles knows that his job is on the line after a 1-5 start. He has placed his fate in the hands of Geno Smith after deciding to bench Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Bowles said the decision was his, but admitted that he consulted with owner Woody Johnson and GM Mike Maccagnan.

Whenever a coach utters this line, it's usually a case where it was not his decision. It's hard to believe that Smith could go 9-1 s a starter and get the Jets into the playoffs.

Bowles is probably already on the list of coaches to be fired after the season ends. It's a tradition with the Jets.
