Things are quickly falling apart for the , a team that looked very promising two weeks into the season. After losing a close game to the and throttling the , Danuel House Jersey  New York has spiraled, getting embarra sed by the , and in succe sion.Wide receiver isn't worried, however. In fact, he's confident, proclaiming after Sunday's 31-13 lo s "This is a perfect position for us,'' said, via the . "We have great talent in this room. We're one of the most talented teams in the league. So, we can do one or two things -- we can fold it up and cry, or we can stick together and continue Ralph Sampson Jersey  to work."I'm already over this lo s. We're going to turn this around. I promise you that. Starting right now. I promise you that.''  The Jets looked like a team that could compete in the AFC East. Two weeks into the season, they were the second-best team in the division. Now they look like the second worst, and that's . The good news is the schedule gets a little easier (it can't get harder). The Jets play the (away), (home), (away), (away) and (home) before their Week 11 bye. They've shown an ability to win football games with offense and to play strong defense, particularly on the defensive line. But 1-4 is a bad spot Gerald Green Jersey  in the NFL. Marshall knows it, even if he won't let it sink his battleship.   "We're 1-4 and now is the time to stick together,'' he said. "We put ourselves in a hole. Our backs are against the wall. We just need to continue to have weeks like we did last week -- it was the best week of practice we've had in my two years of being here. That's what we need."A couple games ago, it was a time when we needed to look each other  Ben McLemore Jersey in the eye and get fiery and push each other, challenge each other, pi s each other off. Now it's time for us stick together. We've got a lot of ball left. Everyone should be confident in the guys we still have in this locker room, the coaches.''This is the ultimate catch-22 of sports, and  Elvin Hayes Jersey the NFL in particular. Marshall can't say something like "well we stink I gue s we'll just fold it up." Hyper-competitive humans aren't wired that way. He's got to keep trying and keep talking about how his team is trying.  They will try. They might succeed. But the reality is at 1-4 the odds are severely stacked against the Jets making it to the postseason, much le s just hitting the 10-win total they saw a year ago.
