### NY Jets vs Indianaoplis Colts --- MNF Game Thread ###

[Sperm Edwards]

I am more mad about the 2nd down. Putting it up, almost another INT. Take the soft yards underneath....they should have gotten into field goal range (closer) then go for it.

Yeah I was ready for them to do those quick screens all the way down there. It was working great. Why play to Fitzpatrick's weakness?

[win4ever]

I think the Colts are daring Fitz to beat them deep.  Putting men in the box, and then playing man coverage and forcing him to throw it deep.   Which is what any other good defense should do as well.  He needs to have better touch on these deep passes, the ones to Owusu weren't even close.  The defense looks excellent though.  

[UnitedWhofans]

That is such BS, there are plenty of games you assume are easy wins that turn out losses, when you have a chance to win - you have to...you cant pi$$ away games.

I don't care. I think we're going to lose. Just be happy that we are putting up a fight

[Spoot-Face]

I dont even care if we lose this game.

I dont even care

I dont even

care

When did Jeremy Kerley turn into Jerry Rice , you guys act like we're missing an all time great wr out there. Enumwa missed two balls , just like Decker, remember this is his first real game action. 

Kerley would have more than likely caught those. That's all we're saying. Why are you making it more than that? Jerry rice?? lol

No.  Just someone who will catch a pass is all. 

[Irish Jet]

It's been a very good half all things considered. Fitz started sharp and they can't deal with Marshall/Decker in the short/intermediate game. The running game is a disaster though and it's killing our drives. 

Defensively it's been a masterclass after a slow start. Have been getting the pressure on Luck and the WR's are consistently covered. Haven't seen that in about 5 years. Really promising from a unit with arguably their second best player missing. Turnovers!

The missed kick hurt. Would have been nice to close out that good half on a high. Colts are a quick strike team and if we lose momentum the game can be gone pretty quickly. This is a game pretty much everyone had down as a loss before the season. We're coping really well.

I don't like these lobs to Marshall when he is covered and the CB has safety help. There is enough other stuff there....just keep picking them apart underneath.

[Bleedin Green]

Let's hope the Colts don't make us pay for letting them hang around. The offense is beating itself right now. Surprised we're struggling to run it. Pass game could be better too. Defense looks great.

Road game against a perennial playoff team. Hard to complain.

 

Yeah, the OL seriously needs to get their sh*t together.  The game plan seems to be somewhat run and gun, and it's clearly not working.  Definitely need some serious half-time adjustments for the O.

[Charlie Brown]

both long balls to marshal hit the receivers hand(s). just good coverage. don't know how you can come to the conclusion that fitz sucks at the long ball

No they didn't...... look again the interception hit the defenders hand and Marshall was trying to get the bounce.

If you think those are good throws down field I don't know what to tell you other than I don't agree.  I am homer but I am fair and Fritz' limitations are dictating how Chan calls this game.

[Fibonacci]

Defense got better after the second Colts drive. Offense is not making big mistakes to lose the game but we are still on the road against a good QB. We still might lose but I saw enough from this team to be hopeful for future. 

[RutgersJetFan]

If Davis is out for the game and we don't throw to Marshall another 10 times Chan should be shot.

Say what you will buy Kerley does make plays...

I agree with everything you just said. I fear the momentum swing with only 10 on the board. 

We have 7 turnovers this season already. That in and of itself is a huge improvement for the Jets and I love it! 

[Jetster]

We should be winning this game 24-0! Horrible play calling, to many throw away 2nd downs, why is Fitz trying to go deep? They have 4 unknown CB, run crossing routes, impossible for inexperienced CBs.

i get what Bowles & Chan are trying to do, tire the sh*t out of the Colts defense but my god the defense deserved more than a 10-0 halftime team playing Andrew Luck. One freaking play & they're down only 3 freaking points! I'm really pissed at the pussy playcalling, I expected more from Chan, he might need to knock the rust off himself getting back into game situations as a play caller. We had the ball for the entire half so their D can't be feeling too fresh after spending so much time on the field in Buffalo too. This would be a horrible loss if we let the Colts win this.

[win4ever]

Deep passing is the biggest issue with Fitz, and it's showing up today.  With Vonte Davis out, should be able to move down the field passing at will but we seem to stall for some reason after a few passes.

point was the throws weren't bad. maybe the descision to throw the ball was bad, both were excellent coverage

Nah, they seem to have 2 or 3 men around every deep ball, the DB's probably covering for their inexperience. The plays seem like pre determined shots downfield. It's not working at all. 

 

 

[jack48]

Not liking a few of Fitzs throws  And I am not including the INT.  That was a good defensive play.  He is smart, but not always physically efficient.  AT least he has one thing going for him.

[BigRy56]

This is the Jets game to lose. Should be 17-0... A completely dominating performance thus far I just hope that we didn't leave Luck hanging on for too long

[frankiepapa]

I wish it was 20-0 right now but I'll be more than happy to walk out of here with a 10-3 win

[The Crusher]

We should have more points but a damn sexy effort so far.  Jets look so grown up.

I was like who the hell is he talking about and then I was like...damnit Sheldon

[Spoot-Face]

We're coping really well.

Well, I'm not!

I'M NOT COPING!

[AFJF]

Fitz is being Fitz...completing some passes, scoring a bit, turning it over a bit. Sadly, it's a dramatic upgrade over the past few seasons.

[JetFreak89]

point was the throws weren't bad. maybe the descision to throw the ball was bad, both were excellent coverage

The decisions were bad, the throws were mediocre...aka 1 Int and 1 almost Int

[prime21]

Go 4 wide with decker and KERLEY inside and we can make a lot of noise. KERLEY should be like a relief pitcher.

[JetFanatic]

geno just isn't accurate

He's shown in games he can get it done.  I would definitely give him a chance in this offense before calling it quits with him

[jack48]

they are playing a lot of zone.  I would just keep looking for Decker underneath----until they stop it

I dont think people understand. If we go to 5 wide and keep throwing it, Fitz is going to throw INTs. He is that sort of QB.

[Jolot]

we're the better team, we're gonna win this

[Irish Jet]

Skrine has been lights out since that penalty.

[Lizard King]

Skrine is like the Chris Ivory of the defense 

[Spoot-Face]

Skrine is one hell of a football player.

definitely should have scored a little more. 

[JetFanatic]

Please let there be a Kerley sighting in the second half.
