Last week was scan week for Lauren, it happens every 3 months. Scans are MRI (Brain) and Upper Body CT Scan (Breast cancer has metastasized). Treatment has been rough lately, she is beat up pretty good. Scans last week, telehealth on Monday and Tuesday with the results (different Doctors). Anyhow the call came in Monday, and when the Oncologist said, I am really happy with these results that was all we needed to hear. They have changed her treatments about 5 times because of inconsistent results. On Monday they gave the Tuesday results and they were even better. This was the first time in a while that everything cooperated. Everything got smaller or stabilized. Some of the spots shrunk by half. So, Aaron Rodgers, I love you, brother, and I want you here. But regardless of what you decide, I got everything out of this week I could have asked for. Thank you everyone for the love and support. @JetFanByMarriage appreciates it. I appreciate it. And you know what, let's double down on a great week. C'mon Aaron get over here, we are in a mood to celebrate!

We got the results on Friday. Quick recap, her breast cancer had come back last year, a few surgeries and chemo every few weeks, since last May. Then in January (new years eve) to be exact they found out the breast cancer spread to her brain. New chemo started this winter and before that whole head radiation. This process is a real MF'er, it knocks you out for two months. Anyhow, I recap and mention all this because on Friday she had her 2nd brain MRI. The news was fantastic, the radiation worked and the new chemo is working. It is basically all gone in her brain, two pinpoint spots that are shrinking and they might just be scar tissue. Everything else is gone. She has a Scan of her upper body at the end of the month to check on everything else. Last time the news was good there, hoping for more good news. I type all this out because I refuse to let the Jets ruin any day. My daughter and younger son were in a play tonight and I saw the Zach Wilson stuff just as the show was about to start. Sucks. So sad. Devastating. Then I breathe and as much as I want the Jets to win, as mad as I get when bad things happen to the Jets, I remind myself it is just a game. And I appreciate even being able to root for this crazy franchise. Cancer is brutal, wouldn't wish it on anybody. But watching Lauren battle for the past 9 years, man it sure has changed my perspective. Here is to some good news for Zach Wilson on Saturday!

Tough loss! This one hurts. Hats off to you guys though as you guys deserved the victory. You guys blocked our punt, FG, sacked us 4 times. You forced another fumble on us. I think you had close to 200 yards of rushing on our defense. We usually don’t lose at home and haven’t in the regular season since 2020. This stings quite a bit but congratulations to the Jets. You guys earned it. You kicked our teeth in.

A lot of frustration goes into being a Jet fan. As Jet fans, we all get it. An eleven year playoff drought and coming off a failed highly touted rookie QB only to replace him with someone who -shall we say- hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire has all of us frustrated, and these are topics worthy of discussion. However, if your primary -or exclusive- interaction on this site is; Zach sucks, Becton sucks, Saleh sucks, etc., and you feel the need to call out, criticize, or insult fans of the team who have simply chosen not to give up yet on some of these guys, you are going to get time off. Some of us are actually looking forward to seeing what happens with all the new additions in the second year with this staff, fully aware of the concerns surrounding that big three and others. We’re not gonna have a few repetitive trolls ruin the site with their spamming every thread with their deeply held negative opinions. Again, we’re all for constructive criticism and there are plenty of ways to have those conversations. Just please keep it civil and keep the repetition to a minimum (odds are that we already know your opinion all too well). This really should be a time for a little optimism. A lot of new talent here, the team is 0-0, let’s see what happens, shall we?

Took 15 years and the longest last 12 months. but my boy is coming home

It's easy to argue Saleh has been in over his head from the start, and was too arrogant to think he should surround himself with experienced coaches. It's one thing for JD to bring in - or for Saleh to be - a young, first-time HC. Everyone expects a couple bumps in the road unless you're talking about fans with unrealistic expectations. So that's fine, as those early bumps happen even with the ones who are ultimately very successful. What's not fine is the arrogance of putting all these guys together in their first NFL stints in these jobs during a gutting-rebuild and expect any type of consistency in moving the ball & scoring points: 1st time HC 1st time OC 1st time WRC 1st time RBC experienced TE coach but no rostered NFL-level TEs and then, despite losing his one really experienced offensive coach - the QBC - to a tragic accident in late July, doesn't bring in a replacement for a full MONTH, and still started a rookie QB from week 1, despite going mostly unchallenged at BYU. Then in regime year 2, after seeing the rookie QB struggle mightily, hires a first time QBC to work with him. FFS. Then on defense: 1st time DC (other than a few games of mop-up duty; this was the 1st time installing his own defense) 1st time DLC (Whitecotton; the guy QW was screaming at that earlier in the year) 1st time LBC (no wonder they rely upon & praise CJM so much) And even the assistants aren't exactly loaded with experienced guys for these 1st time coaches/coordinators to lean upon & bounce things off: Assistant DL coach Scruggs = 1st time in this NFL role Defensive assistant Willingham = 1st time in this NFL role Offensive assistant Mack Brown = 1st time in this NFL role Special teams assistant Ghobrial = 1st time in this NFL role Defensive assistant Manning = 1st time in any NFL role since a brief stint as an asst DBC 5 yrs earlier; otherwise had mostly been coaching high school Offensive assistant Vandemerkt = 1st time in this NFL role Special teams assistant Leon Wash = loved watching him as a player - we all did - but he's here to coach, and this is his 1st time in any NFL coaching role Experienced coaches: ST Coordinator Boyer generally a good job; he can't punt it for Mann himself. Players seem to know the rules (e.g. Berrios knowing to field a KO by first putting 1 foot out of bounds) and we aren't plagued with block in the back penalties; then again we mostly fair catch this year so opportunities for that are down, lol. OL Coach Benton and his assistant OLC Wilkerson has been handed rough deals between some questionable personnel & so many injuries DB Coach Manuel generally fine once he was given talented players. Sauce has been incredible for a rookie, and Reed has never looked better; fair to give coach at least some credit for both TE Coach Middleton meh; raw deal in 2021 being given no talent to coach. This year's veterans now have unreliable hands & we're all discouraged by the lack of visible development with Ruckert. Never developed a starter in 8 yrs in Jax; only big name was Orange Julius whose career effectively ended under Middleton's coaching) Situational decision making asst Shamash years of experience, but it was almost all with first time HCs who were fired: Chargers (Lynn), Jax (Bradley), TB (Schiano). The exceptions were 2021 with the Chargers, before getting let go (i.e. fired), and with Cleveland under Mangini. So we end up with debacles from extra timeouts to punting on 4th & short in the 4th quarter down by 2 TDs, and more. Turns out he's the one who sits next to MLF in the booth, advising him on what to call & when. FFS. I get not wanting to hire retreads who were failures elsewhere, but a young team with all these coaches who'd just got promoted to their Jets job titles by Saleh? Looking at it all put together like this above, now I'm not sure if arrogance is a strong enough word. Almost as arrogant as I am, thinking anyone's actually reading all my blabbering. But still.

I'm so glad to be wrong!!! Zach looked like a real QB today against the # 1 defense, and we friggin WON. You were right and I'm sorry. Serve me all the crow you'd like and post everything you've got for the next 2+ weeks here. lol. @football guy @Hal N of Provo @FidelioJet @SuicidalSince98 @JETS SB @Gastineau Lives @Jets723 @slats @Zachtomims47 @Mogglez

Your troll posts lately have been as weak as Becton's offseason workouts. Do better.

Defense - I think we are going to see some drastic scheme changes. The DLine will still be the focus, but the additions to the secondary leads me to believe we will see: * More 1 on 1 coverage * Less zone concepts * More blitzing from the secondary, particularly the CBs * More positional switching - You don't spend the amount of free agency $$$ (DJ Reed & Jordan Whitehead) and draft capital (Ahmad Gardner) on players to have them play vanilla Cover 2/ Cover 3 all game. Particularly when their tape showed that they're physical, can press cover and blitz - With the depth we have in the secondary we should see massive "cross training" as we head to camp. The staff flipped Jason Pinnock to safety last year and in my opinion we should do the same with Bryce Hall. A secondary that has "positionless" players can confuse QBs and lead to INTs - John Franklin-Myers should "float" between DE and DT based on the situation Offense - I believe the drafting of Breece Hall will shift the RB position from a committee approach to a RB1, RB2, RB3 structure. Hall's size and college production showed he can be RB1 (20-25 touches) and even though Michael Carter was impressive last year he did get banged up. Which leads me to believe he would be better suited to a RB2 (10-15 touches) role. The fight for the RB3 role will be wicked between Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson, Zonovan Knight, Austin Walter and Lamical Perine - With actual TEs on the roster this year I would expect to see some of the "SF Kittle" package incorporated into the passing game - I'm glad we didn't double dip at WR in the draft. Because I want to see if Denzel Mims has any shot at reaching his draft potential. I'm not expecting it but if Mims somehow finds his game a WR corps with him being WR5 would be scary - Now its all on Zach Wilson to thrive in this offense. Because Joe Douglas has done for him everything Mike Maccagnan didn't do for Sam Darnold. The OLine has been revamped and there is quality and depth at the skill positions. Wilson now needs to show what he did in the TB game for an entire 17 game schedule

It's time to finally put this discussion to bed, if possible. Below you will find an analysis of 77 QBs selected in Rounds 1-2 of the NFL draft from 1998-2020 who could be fairly easily placed into the camp of "HIT" or "BUST". QBs who fall into more of a "gray area" (decent journeymen, successful backups, out the league under weird circumstances, or jury still out) were excluded. Those 10 QBs were as follows: Kellen Clemens, Chad Henne, Colin Kaepernick, Geno Smith, Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston, Jared Goff, Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Jordan Love. I'm sure there will be some quibbles on what is considered a "HIT" or a "BUST" but for the most part, I imagine there will be agreement on the placement of at least 60 or so of these QBs, giving us plenty of sample size to make a proper analysis. Those 77 QBs were then placed into 8 different buckets: HIT/BUST and how long they sat before being named a starting QB (0-3 weeks; 4-8 weeks; 9-16 weeks; >1 full season). Below were the resulting buckets: 1) Played right away (within first 3 weeks of rookie season) - HITS (12) Peyton Manning (1998 - 1.1) Carson Palmer (2003 - 1.1) Ben Roethlisberger (2004 - 1.11) Matt Ryan (2008 - 1.3) Joe Flacco (2008 - 1.18) Matthew Stafford (2009 - 1.1) Cam Newton (2011 - 1.1) Andy Dalton (2011 - 2.35) Andrew Luck (2012 - 1.1) Ryan Tannehill (2012 - 1.8) Derek Carr (2014 - 2.36) Deshaun Watson (2017 - 1.12) Joe Burrow (2020 - 1.1) Justin Herbert (2020 - 1.6) 2) Played right away (within first 3 weeks of rookie season) - BUSTS (16) Tim Couch (1999 - 1.1) Quincy Carter (2001 - 2.53) David Carr (2002 - 1.1) Joey Harrington (2002 - 1.3) Kyle Boller (2003 - 1.19) Mark Sanchez (2009 - 1.5) Sam Bradford (2010 - 1.1) Jimmy Clausen (2010 - 2.48) Blaine Gabbert (2011 - 1.10) Robert Griffin IIII (2012 - 1.2) Brandon Weeden (2012 - 1.22) EJ Manuel (2013 - 1.16) Marcus Mariota (2015 - 1.2) Carson Wentz (2016 - 1.2) DeShone Kizer (2017 - 2.52) Sam Darnold (2018 - 1.3) 3) Sat for 4-8 weeks - Hits (5) Charlie Batch (1998 - 2.60) Michal Vick (2001 - 1.1) Alex Smith (2005 - 1.1) Josh Allen (2018 - 1.7) Tua Tagovailoa (2020 - 1.5) 4) Sat for 4-8 weeks - BUSTS (13) Ryan Leaf (1998 - 1.2) Cade McNown (1999 - 1.12) Patrick Ramsey (2002 - 1.32) Byron Leftwich (2003 - 1.7) Vince Young (2006 - 1.3) Matt Leinart (2006 - 1.10) Josh Freeman (2009 - 1.17) Christian Ponder (2011 - 1.12) Blake Bortles (2014 - 1.3) Paxton Lynch (2016 - 1.26) Mitchell Trubisky (2017 - 1.2) Baker Mayfield (2018 - 1.1) Josh Rosen (2018 - 1.10) 5) Sat for 9 weeks - 1 full season - HITS (7) Donovan McNabb (1999 - 1.2) Daunte Culpepper (1999 - 1.11) Eli Manning (2004 - 1.1) Jay Cutler (2006 - 1.11) Patrick Mahomes (2017 - 1.10) Lamar Jackson 2018 - 1.32) Jalen Hurts (2020 - 2.53) 6) Sat for 9 weeks - 1 full season - BUSTS (9) Akili Smith (1999 - 1.3) Shaun King (1999 - 2.50) Rex Grossman (2003 - 1.22) Tarvaris Jackson (2006 - 2.64) JaMarcus Russell (2007 - 1.1) Tim Tebow (2010 - 1.25) Johnny Manziel (2014 - 1.22) Dwayne Haskins (2019 - 1.15) Drew Lock (2019 - 2.42) 7) Sat for > 1 full season - HITS (6) Chad Pennington (2000 - 1.18) Marc Bulger (2000 - 2.168) Drew Brees (2001 - 1.32) Phillip Rivers (2004 - 1.4) Aaron Rodgers (2005 - 1.24) Jimmy Garoppolo (2014 - 2.62) 8 ) Sat for > 1 full season - BUSTS (9) Marques Tuiasosopo (2001 - 2.59) J.P.

And their scumbag coach. They suck. Let's curbstomp these b*t**es.

Opening day vinnie blows achillies

Amazing!!! For the first time since 2019 the Jets have won three games in a row as they physically manhandled GB 27-10. In back to back weeks the Jets have stomped out an opponent and made the final 8 minutes of the 4th quarter irrelevant: Special Teams - Even though he missed a 54 yarder Greg Zuerlein continued his solid season as he went 2/3 on FG's and 3/3 on XP's. His leg strength on KO's has surprised me. - Excellent game by Braden Mann (45 yd avg) particularly in the first half when he "flipped" field position multiple times when the offense was struggling. - Braxton Berrios was productive as usual with a 29 yd avg on KO's and an 11 yd avg on punts. - The punt protection had one mishap as Jamien Sherwood didn't seal off the middle of the line and allowed a punt block. But other than that Brant Boyer's units were off the charts as Quinnen Williams blocked a FG and Michael Clemons blocked a punt that led to a "scoop & score" by Will Parks. Defense - I can't remember a defensive effort as good as we saw today, it must be back in the 2009 and 2010 seasons when Rex Ryan was HC. Much improved secondary play and relentless DLine pressure abused Aaron Rodgers all day. As he was sacked 4 times, knocked down 9 times and had 5 passes defensed. - Let's highlight the "beasts" from today's game: * Quinnen Williams is elevating his game into Aaron Donald territory. He blocked a FG, had 5 Tackles, 2 Sacks, 2 TFL's and 3 QB Hits (yawn). * Quincy Williams made a dramatic return from injury with 14 Tackles (many of them HUGE) and coverage all over the field. * CJ Mosley was an excellent "tag team partner" to Williams as he had 11 Tackles (many of them HUGE) and one pass defensed. * Ahmad Gardner's coverage skills are so advanced for a rookie it's ridiculous. He has serious make up speed, change of direction, ability to close on routes and the ability to knock balls out of receivers hands. If Gardner keeps on this path we will be bringing up Revis comparisons fairly soon. * DJ Reed may be short but his coverage skills and physicality make up for it. In addition Michael Carter shouldn't be forgotten because he's raised his game in his second year. * The safety play of Jordan Whitehead and Lamarcus Joyner has elevated since the CIN debacle. Now when double coverage is being called they're consistently in position. Also, they are providing a physical presence when they are coming into "the box". Offense - The performance of the offense can be summed up in one word "sledgehammer". The OLine and running game led the way with 33 rushes for 179 yards (5.4 avg). Duane Brown needs special recognition as the 37 year old wasn't only physical but fast. As multiple times he got into space and blocked LB's and DB's 10+ yards downfield to break long runs. - Breece Hall was the star with 115 yards on 20 rushes and a TD. We may have entered with a committee approach in the RB rotation but Hall is going to change that. His production will make him RB1 shortly with Michael Carter as the "change of pace" RB. - Tremendous play call by Mike LaFleur on Hall's TD run. Wonderful use of motion and misdirection led to a gaping hole in GB defense. - Huge two play sequence by Corey Davis in the third quarter that got the offense going. A 10 yard slant that got a first down then a 40 yard bomb that led to a TD by Berrios on a Jet sweep. QB - Zach Wilson was a game manager again as he generated very little in the passing game going 10/18 for 110 yards. He had one "sexy" sequence when he connected with Davis on the 40 yarder mentioned earlier. But let's not overlook Wilson's most important stat, he's 3-0 since he's come back from injury. And the offense is averaging 30 points a game, hard to complain about that.

To play one season at RG, switch to LG and then when the team needs you, move to LT is really amazing and he deserves a ton of credit for his versatility. He is infinitely more valuable then Jamal Adams if we dont also add in that we have Garret Wilson because of that trade. To have someone this versatile is so valuable to the team, I hope AVT's contribution today doesnt go unnoticed with the drama surrounding the win. It will be interesting to see what we do with the OL next week. Will Duane Brown be back? If he is, then does AVT play RT and we keep Herbig in the game?

Spotted just now in Bergen Co.

Lauren and I flew down on Sunday for a week away. Fly back Saturday night so I can make the Jets Lions game on Sunday. Just want to say hi to everyone and thanks for behaving this week. Not many reported posts lol. Lauren is taking her chemo drugs at home now, goes in once a month for treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering. So this is an at home week, we hit the road. She still gets scans every three months and they have changed the treatment up several times. Most spots are cooperative but on the last scan two spots got a little bigger. Bring on radiation (done) and a new treatment plan. She fights, never complains and is so thankful for all the prayers and support. Thanks everyone, Merry Christmas 🎄 a little early.

Confirmed by HOF. Congrats, Joe. It is long overdue.

Some narratives/excuses that have been moved to the back burner in recent weeks... 1. Yeah, the Jets won on the road but they needed trick plays and an onside kick to do it. Let's see them win for real. (after Cleveland) 2. Yeah, they won for real but were outplayed for 3 quarters and needed Zach to play hero ball for a comeback win in the 4th Q. Let's see them go wire-to-wire. (after Steelers) 3. Yeah, they went wire-to-wire with a commanding win vs a division opponent but it was against a 3rd string QB. Let's see them beat a quality QB!!! (after Miami) 4. Okay, okay...yeah they beat one of the Top 5 QBs of the last decade on the road, didn't need luck, AND went wire-to-wire again never trailing in the game. But.... Elijah Moore needs more targets. (after Green Bay) It's fine to be skeptical but don't be such a downer that you're constantly reverting to "Yeah, but..." all the time. We've had plenty to complain about for years around here, I'm going to take the time to just enjoy these victories rather than focusing on a few clouds on an otherwise very sunny day.

He sure did it to us all season long.

Good things can happen. We are allowed to have nice things. Not every day is a bad one. Believe.

Remember when Flacco was going to be setting the baseline for the team’s offensive performance? Expectations were that Flacco would play competently and Zach would have to try to keep up. And many of those expectations were that Zach would be a downgrade. So what’s happened? Thru the first three games of the year, the Jets held a lead for all of 22 seconds - and those 22 seconds represented one of the most miraculous comebacks in league history. It’s just two games, but the Jets have taken a multi-score lead in the first quarter of both of them. They faced adversity in both, and had huge fourth quarters in both to secure the win. Yesterday’s win got the team off of multiple schneids. It was the first time in 23 games that the Jets never fell behind. It’s the first time they’ve won two in a row since 2020. It was the first divisional win since 2018. It was the first time they scored 40 or more points since 2017. People can make excuses for the Jets’ recent success, even though they allegedly want the best, lol, but it’s hard for me to understand how anyone can look at what this team is doing and not see that they’re actually building something real.

Of course I’ve seen a lot of demoralizing Jets history, but as far as I’m concerned it’s all been worth it to see what I’m seeing with my team now. Since the Super Bowl, the most excited I’ve been was right after this last draft. We’ve never had a draft like that and we’re seeing the fruits of it now because of the combination of the coaching/support staff and the team first approach of the players. During draft analysis I heard LaDainian Tomlinson say that not only is Breece Hall the best back in the draft, but that he could be better than Tomlinson himself. I can see it. Breece is a picture perfect running back. But the O line, man…We lose our two tackles and the coaches and players compensate. Of course AVT is off the charts, but for me the key is Duane Brown. Needs rotator cuff surgery, has a guaranteed contract, could have packed it in, but there he is strapped up, pancaking mfers, leading the way on Braxton’s jet sweep. So impressive. An example for the youngbloods. The D line is the best we’ve had in a long time. They keep getting better. And beautiful monster Michael Clemens isn’t even starting yet. Blocked a punt with his elbow. We had a below average secondary last year and we’re becoming elite there. Linebacking corps looks great. Quincy carted off and two weeks later he’s making stonewall tackles. Can't fake this stuff and can’t make it up. Receiving corps and Zach haven’t even gotten started yet. Haven’t had to since the 4th qtr. of the Steelers win. But when they do they will win games by themselves. Book it. I don’t post that much here but I wanted to tonight because I’m so proud to be a Jets fan right now. I really appreciate this forum and all the people on it, especially those who post funny stuff. Enjoy the moment Jets brothers and sisters. In Jets history this kind of moment has been a rare thing.

Zach Wilson would've just smiled at Jordan Phillips and then f***ed his mom.

The Vikings are a good football team. You cannot have all of this going wrong and expect to win against a good team. The refs cost us a fair shot in the first half because the officiating was clearly not impartial. Corey Davis cost us our composure on the first drive - then subsequently cost us a possession and 3 points. Our defense cost us our momentum in the 2nd half when the Vikings just cut right through us to answer our 5th FG. Conklin, Davis and even Wilson cost us drives by getting both hands on passes and dropping them. Mike LaFleur cost us multiple TDs in the redzone with stupid, passive play calls. Mike LaFleur cost us the chance to jump out to an early lead because he failed to gameplan to attack this Vikings secondary from go. Braxton Berrios cost us a redzone trip and points by running the wrong way and drifting Fant into the block in the back penalty. Braxton Berrios cost us the win by not securing a ball that hit both hands and sat in his chest. Mike White gave us an epic rally and played us into the win. I won't hear otherwise. Needing to do it a second time was absurd.

I don’t see a problem with it, when we’d go to the field in Germany, the snow knee deep, wind howling, I’d be sitting in the tent, eating an MRE, freezing and exhausted, I’d always think to myself “This must be how it feels to be a star NFL quarterback”

So Ulbrich is making himself AND Quinnen look terrible with that answer. That's cool.

Conversation this morning with my wife: Wife: Do you have anything going on tonight, maybe we can go out. Me: Well, the Jets have their green and white scrimmage tonight. I am looking forward to it. Wife: I guess you have not seen the Jets play in a while, what channel is it on? Me: It is not on TV. Wife: Oh, so are you going to listen on the radio. Me: No, its not on radio either. I am going to follow writers and fans who are there and tweet about what they see and then we will talk about the tweets on the Jet site. Wife: And this is what you are looking forward to? I married an idiot. A lot of our conversations seem to end that way.

Wilson & Wilson...Carter I & Carter II...Johnson & Johnson... Bryce Hall and Breece Hall??????

I don't understand Jet fans sometimes. They hord money and draft picks like they are managing their kids 529 account when in reality the money belongs to the guy they swear they hate, Woody Johnson, and draft picks outside of 2022 have done very little to ever help this franchise. Remmeber how we spent 2 years teraring down and tanking to get Zach. Yes that was smart. So here is why we should 100 percent "mortgage the future" 1) The Jets have a top 5 defense. The window on that type of defense is 2-3 years usually looking around the league. Defense is important, and more important in late season and playoff football. You can't underestimate this. 2) Breece Hall, Garret Wilson year 2. Elijiah Moore year 3. Uzomah waiting to be unleashed. This offsense has weapons and CAN score with competent QB play, let alone star QB play a guy like Rodgers would provide. 3) Contracts. All this rookie and 2nd year talent will be asking for extensions come 24 and 25. We simply will not be able to pay them all. OUR WINDOW IS NOW 4) The Jets arent rebuilding anymore, they are in execution phase. Losing a first rounder this year or in 24 is not a game changer or hurt the chances moving forward. If JD is all we may or you make him out to be he should be able to find starters in round 2-3 and depth beyond. The Jets need to be aggresive and absolutly mortgage the future. A Superbowl, a deep playoff run will bring legitimacy to this team and the rest will take care of itself. YES NOW IS THE TIME TO GO TO THE BANK AND ASK FOR THAT MORTGAGE. Our franchise depends upon it.

Maybe it clicked for the kid. He made huge throw after huge throw thd last 2 drives. Zach led us to victory. The young kid blossomed before our eyes.

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! What a way to go into the bye-week!!! In the best regular season win since the NE game in 2015, the Jets beat BUF 20-17 in an absolute shocker. After the stinker last week against NE, today was the best "deodorant" a fan could've hoped for. At 6-3 after making BUF look "pedestrian" it's time for the team and fanbase to get greedy and aspire for more than just a wildcard spot: Special Teams - Solid effort by Greg Zuerlein as he was 2/2 in FGs and XPs for 8 points. And from a tone standpoint his 53 yarder to make it 7-3 was important. A miss there deflates the crowd and gives BUF terrific field position. - Braden Mann had a solid effort punting with a 49 yard avg. But the "slipping" on KOs HAS GOT TO STOP!!! - Braxton Berrios was decent on KOs (20 yard avg) and it would've been better without a holding penalty. - Good feel for the game by the staff in running a fake punt (Ashtyn Davis) to start the second half. BUF has been explosive all year and repeated punts back to them is dangerous. Unfortunately Zach Wilson fumbled later in the drive to keep points off the board. Defense - Fantastic effort by the defense in all phases (5 Sacks, 8 QB Hits, 2 INT). BUF came into the game averaging 29 points and they were held to 3 points over the last 37 minutes of the game. In addition the defense made Josh Allen look "pedestrian" from the pocket (18/34, 205 yds, 2 INT) which really hasn't been seen since 2019. The main damage Allen did was on the ground (9 rushes, 86 yards, 2 TD) but it minimized BUF "video game offense" so I'll take it. - Is it fair to say the Jets have the best CB tandem in the league? Other than the double move Stephon Diggs pulled on Ahmad Gardner, he and DJ Reed were lockdown once again. Gardner generated 7 Tackles, INT and a huge knockaway on the final play of the game against Gabriel Davis. While Reed had 4 Tackles and a textbook knockaway against Diggs which could've been a TD. They also are getting "respect" from the refs because they don't get flagged with cheap pass interference penalties. - Another excellent game by Jordan Whitehead as he had 4 Tackles, 2 Passes Defensed and an INT (which should've been two if he had better hands). - After returning from an injury CJ Mosley controlled the middle of the field with 6 Tackles, Sack, Pass Defensed and a QB Hit. In addition he did a nice job "spying" Allen to prevent a couple of big runs. And dislodging passes from a couple of receivers over the middle. - While Mosley was recovering from his injury Jamien Sherwood had his best game as a pro. As he had 5 Tackles, .5 Sack, QB Hit and he was entrusted with making the defensive calls. - Quinnen Williams with his "standard" production of 2 Tackles, Sack, TFL and a QB Hit. - The reason Jacob Martin was traded earlier in the week (DEN) was on full display. As Bryce Huff and Jermaine Johnson were given more reps and brought speed/heat off the edges. Johnson had a Tackle, Sack, TFL and a QB Hit after being sidelined with an injury for a couple of weeks. He also displayed excellent speed and open field tackling on his TFL as Allen was turning the corner but Johnson was able to close and get a 4 yard loss. Huff had a Tackle, Sack, QB Hit and dominated the last BUF drive of the game. Causing a fumble on the strip of Allen (which also hurt his arm) and drawing a holding penalty. Offense - The OLine (Brown, Tomlinson, McGovern, Herbig, Ogbuehi) were the stars of the game as they neutralized Von Miller and dominated BUF DLine by grinding out 174 yards on the ground (34 rushes). And on the final drive of the game the OLine "took BUF soul" by running 8 straight times and eating 6:10 of clock for the game winning FG. - Michael Carter had his best game of the season (12 rushes, 76 yards, TD) and James Robinson made an impression as he ran hard between the tackles (13 rushes, 48 yards). - Garrett Wilson was the main weapon in the air game (8 catches, 92 yards). But what's impressive about his game is he isn't a "one trick pony". He's shown he can get vertical but he doesn't shy away from going over the middle into traffic. Also on WR screens he takes on tacklers and tries to run through them. It will be interesting to see what another 5-10 pounds of muscle will bring to his game. QB - Solid bounce back game by Zach Wilson as he was efficient (18/25, 154 yards, TD) and showed better pocket awareness. He finally vacated the pocket and ran (24 yards) when a play was breaking down. His one mistake was hanging in the pocket too long and getting stripped by Von Miller, fortunately Gardner's INT made up for that mistake. What will go unnoticed but must be brought up is the smart way Wilson delivered the ball on most of his throws. From the pocket he went sidearm and 3/4 to get around the raised arms of BUF DLine preventing blocked and tipped passes. Final Thoughts - The identity we displayed in the winning streak returned: * Run the ball * Don't turn it over * Excellent special teams * Lockdown defense And shock of shock they won again, this time against a legit SB challenger. Let's remember this and not deviate from it. - Also, during the winning streak we wore green helmets, white jerseys and black pants. Against NE we wore all black and lost, today we went back to the winning streak uniforms and won. What do you think we'll be wearing after the bye???

Matt Rhule is the real MVP of this rebuild.

Saw this and thought it would resonate with a bunch of us here lol

1) Did not bail from clean pockets. Hung in there and went through progressions. This was HUGE! 2) Located open receivers (kinda' basic, but hasn't been the case in recent weeks) 3) Used his legs. Didn't run for 180 like Justin Fields, but even one or two first downs per week with his legs will give defenses one more thing to think about. Has to take advantage of every tool he has and his athleticism is one of them.

Bill Belichick right now

Just wanted to say much love to you guys. I hope it’s not another 4 years since we see you again. You guys have good fans. I hope you never mind if I drop in and say hi from time to time.

It’s been said a ton since the draft. Regardless of how these picks turn out, the vision and execution of a coherent plan has been incredible to watch. Every Jets GM since I’ve started watching in the early 2000s has just been winging it. Not Joe.

Haven’t seen you guys this pumped since the Denzel Mims pick.

Mike White.

My people just finally confirmed- “he’s coming. They just told us”

I did not watch last night but I followed the game thread. I just watched the replay. The picture painted last night resembled something like this was the lowest point in jet history. Some guys described how awful zach played how his knee buckled like theisman. Well, overall it was not anything like that. Perfect? No. Disappointing? Absolutely. But holy mother god do most of you guys overreact. zach wasnt bad except for that int. Dude just was warming up. And his knee? LOL it was NOTHING. It just looked he he fell. There was no twist. I didn’t even know they won because i was so pissed following the game thread i cut out. MAJOR OVERREACTION SEEK THERAPY

Can’t believe you insulted Ryan Leaf like that .

This really happened. Our guy has moved up in the world. Don't know which one I'm more embarrassed for.

Last night I met the legend himself and I wanted to share this story with my Jets brethren. Today is my birthday and my wife takes me out to dinner last night at this restaurant in Jupiter Florida called the Beacon, which happens to be owned by Joe Namath. During dinner the manager comes over to our table and asks us how the experience was and I mention to her what big Namath fan I am. She says, " that's great, Joe is sitting outside and he loves to meet Jets fans. Why don't you go over and say Hi." I was hesitant but she insists and the next thing you know she walks us out to his table. Joe is sitting with his partner Charlie and another man and as I introduce my self, he and the whole table gets up and starts chatting with us. Joe and his partners couldn't have been any nicer! We talked for about 15 minutes and Charlie walks us up to the front, introduces us to the GM of the restaurant, and tells her to take my name and give me her number and says the next time I come in dinner is on Him and Joe! Namath is the reason that I became a Jets fan in 1974. Honestly, I have met many celebrities in my life, I am not a star chaser so to speak, but this man is so kind and humble he is just an icon and I wish all the younger player would follow his example. Joe and Charlie really went above and beyond and I wanted to share this great experience with you all. PS I tried to load pics, but my freaking computer wont let me download from my phone!
