You really need to stop with this hypothesis. The Jets players showed no signs of fatigue. What they showed was "puckeritis", and an inability to adjust to Mayfield. they did not make great attempts to disguise their blitzes, and gave the kid clean pre-snap reads. Give him credit, he recognized those and made them pay. To say that this was an affect of "schedule" is just plain wrong.

He has to, HAS TO get the plays in faster. They are constantly up against they clock as the break the huddle. Darnold does not even have time to properly survey the field and defense.

They have GOT to get the play calls into the huddle more quickly. They are constantly breaking the huddle in a rush with limited time. Darnold has zero chances to make pre-snap reads.

The first TD may have been slightly under thrown, but it hardly was a case of the "ball being ripped from the defender's hands".

We are giving this far more attention than it deserves, but you were right originally, 3 games in 11 days -Monday (Lions)-Day 1 -Tuesday-Day 2 -Wednesday-Day 3 -Thursday-Day 4 -Friday-Day 5 -Saturday-Day 6 -Sunday (Dolphins)-Day 7 -Monday-Day 8 -Tuesday-Day 9 -Wednesday-Day 10 -Thursday-(Browns)-Day 11 Regardless, you are on record saying the jets have no chance at victory. If they get blown out, I will tip my cap. I prefer to look at it as they have a chance to go 2-1, and have 9 days to prepare for their next game. And, if this supposition of yours is correct, then they should be fresher than their next opponent the week after. Heck, for the rest of the season for that matter.

Honestly, I don't care about the last Monday component. Both teams are coming off a Sunday early game. There is relatively the same amount of prep time.

Just a quick search, and Dallas supposedly did it last year. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cowboys-play-three-times-in-11-days-and-might-be-without-sean-lee-for-all-of-it/ Regardless, this will not affect performance this early in the year, and should NOT be an excuse. If the Jets lose, it will be of their own merit.

What tangible proof do you have of this, other than idiotic conjecture?

You are correct. But the consensus was that it would be rookie vs rookie, as you say. Plus you get the NY market early in the year, before they have tanked the season

Totally this.

The majority of teams that play on Thursday night, will play 3 games in 12 days. There have been others teams (beside the Eagles that you mention) that have had the 3 in 11 spot. Most recent relevancy is that the Jets and Browns have BOTH had 3 days of "rest" since their last game. I do not buy that there is drag on the body from action 11 days ago. Particularly, if we consider that this is the start of the season, and even more so, if we consider that the majority of Jet starters did not see action in Pre-season game 4. Also, consider that the Browns had to travel after their week 2 contest, and the Jets did not. I do agree that the body drags after 2 weeks of back to back west coast travel. But this is not that spot. The Jets may very well lose, but the schedule should not be factored in that decision.

Jets!

Some people think many things. Does not make them right.

I am just surprised a player can play, and get better. Who would have guessed to not totally buy into mob message board snap judgements?

This exactly. Only that it is not what the "sharps" think, it is what the general public does. I have not backslid at all. One angle the sharps play is to see the line, view what direction the line is moving, and then fade that side. No point in continuing. We have reached a standstill
