Source confirms Eric Decker (partial rotator cuff tear) is going on IR, as @AdamSchefter and @FieldYates reported. — Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) October 12, 2016 Decker’s absence will only make things more difficult for a team whose offense is currently among the worst in the NFL.

UnitedWhofans Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 You can say the Jets are bad this year, but they are also banged up. Got pretty lucky with lack of injuries last year and the opposite this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver lining is that we're losing Decker in the midst of what's looking to be a trainwreck season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 No excuses. Next man up, and we supposedly have some real good, young, depth at the WR position.

RoadFan Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 This was 95% certain to happen when we first heard the report of a tear. They were just hoping that it would heal enough on its own even though it was highly unlikely from a medical standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a big one. But who else?? J.Marshall?? Petty?? I know Mangold and Harris got banged up vs. the Steelers- not sure what their status is. I know Revis missed a game. But Revis will be back for Mon. night, I think Mangold will as well, not sure about Harris. In general, the Jets have been pretty good as far as injuries. They have their starting QB, they have their starting RB, their top WR, their O-line is pretty much intact (the WEAKEST player on the O-line got a concussion- and will probably be back for Mon. night, so should Mangold). Their D-line is fully healthy. Their LBs (like I said Harris got banged up) are otherwise fully healthy (their secondary will be fully intact on Mon.) Just saying, there's teams out there with much worse injury situations this season- including the Pats. And some of them are still winning games.

He got himself open for potentially 2 long TDs vs. Seattle. Fitz underthrew one, and overthrew the other. I think he will have an opportunity to showcase himself when Fitz is benched for one or both of the stronger arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanTX Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Marshall will see a monster amount of targets from here on If he does, that will be disaster.Every single team will now double team Marshall and Fitz will throw a ton of picks trying to force the ball to Marshall.One of the young WR's need to step up.

The Jets need to work in more RB and TE (especially S-J) passes, and establish the running game. This is where Gailey will have to earn his pay or the coming off season will be a good time to look for a new OC on top of everything else. Decker's absence will hurt, but it should not be insurmountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hael Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 This is a pretty brutal loss imo. So much of what the Jets do on offense was predicated on the Marshall/Decker tandem overwhelming the secondary with size and route tree mismatches. It was hard to defend and the reason our O was so good last year. Now things are very much more predictable for a D and coupled with Fitzs poor play, im worried about overloading Forte and Marshall and their health down the stretch.

I get the optimism for Anderson, but I am skeptical. Gailey has to get more out of Sefarian-Jenkins, Forte and Powell, with Enunwa already a presence.

He needs great WRs with large catching radiuses who can overpower DBs for the ball. Fitz should be following Decker to the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their D has been awful but he's put up decent numbers and looks like he translates well to the pro game(much better than Watson IMO). I wouldn't put too much stock in the NC State game, it was played in a hurricane and really should have been rescheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
