With their, 24-17, loss to the Detroit Lions Sunday, the New York Jets are now 1-3 in the season and in last place in the NFC East.

Jets fans are angry, and they are taking it out on starting quarterback Geno Smith, peppering him with boos and chanting for backup quarterback Michael Vick. Smith, apparently, is just as angry, and he let fans know it as he walked off the field at MetLife Stadium yesterday.

In a video captured by New York's CBS2 news station, a group of fans can be heard heckling Smith when he calls out one of the individuals and yells, "F--- you" at him twice.

"I want to apologize if any kid saw me saying any negative remarks walking off the field," Smith said as he opened up his post-game press conference. "I kind of let my temper get the best of me in that situation. It is a learning process. I have to get better with that. I have to let that stuff roll off my back, but today I didn't do well with that."

"No matter what happened, I've got to not feed into it," Smith said. "It's part of the job. I understand the fans want to come out and see victories. We do, too, as players. [I] can't even begin to talk about that because what I did was wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right."

Earlier in the game, fans began chanting, "We want Vick" following a New York turnover in the third quarter, as reported by nj.com.

Jets coach Rex Ryan said, however, that he is confident in Smith and plans to stick with him.

"I thought at times he looked really good. Then at other times weren't quite so good, like the whole team. His play was typical of the whole team," Ryan said. "I'm confident in Geno. If Geno Smith is healthy, Geno Smith starts."
