DMan77 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Listen that was frustrating as hell... The whole season has been... But I'm pretty happy with the outcome for probably the same 3 reasons as others: 1. Sam looked good. Herndon turned it on. McGuire finished with a meh stat line but I thought he looked like he belonged too. Basically when the young Jets weren't committing 1,000 penalties they looked good! But it's all about Sam. He's going to be a star. 2. Draft position. Big difference between the 3rd pick and the 5th or 6th, as we saw last year. 3. No branch for Bowels to cling too. I was honestly getting afraid that we'd start hearing "well maybe Todd has figured something out..." if the Jets won out or looked competent in these last 4 games. This just keeps his firing right on schedule. Good good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choon328 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Today was the best case scenario even though i was hoping the Jets would pull it out in the end. Bowles needs to go, I'm so tired of seeing his dumbfounded look on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayRay Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Well, at least I have a team to root for in tomorrow’s Denver/Oakland game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Been praying for these situations for weeks. Had people complaining that I didn't want the Jets to win. Well, I don't. Not now. I want them to win next year and to look good while losing this year. The plan is working. QB looks great, guys are competing and we have brights spots. It will be nice to add a #3 or #4 overall pick to this team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It was a great loss. We are finally doing this right and not winning meaningless games at the end of the year. It is of utmost importance to loss next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsbb Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Jets could have easily beat both the texans and Packers. With Darnold suddenly playing great you know Chris would have at least thought about all that money he was going to waste by firing Bowles with another 2 years left on his contract.

Jetlife33 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 What happens if Oakland wins tomorrow? Do jets move up to 2nd?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJet Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Came here to post the same thing. Sam looked great.....we may just have a franchise QB. Herndon is gonna be a stud. Robbie can be a star in the right offense. The defense sucked and the team was undisciplined...all of which is Bowles’ fault. This game got him fired for sure. Maintained draft position. Perfect day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheaRay Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I respectfully disagree. The play calling on the 2nd to last possession was so TB that anyone else it would be considered a tank. How great would it of been for Sam and his confidence to march down the field for a win against what some consider the GOAT. The obsession with picking 3rd or 4th is lame.

Think there was 6 mins in the game and Sam had given them a 12 point lead. Pack drove the field in OT.

Now that the smoke has cleared and emotions are burned off I am happy it was a loss. It’s best for overall success.

nycdan Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I think Robby Anderson is showing signs that he could become a #1 WR (real, not default). He may never be Julio or AJ, but he's developed a lot more versatility to his game and he's making a lot of plays with Sam. If he can keep his head on straight, he's got a lot of upside to grow into on the field. If he continues this trend, he can certainly be one of the 32 best WRs in the game and maybe a lot better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the "Anderson bashers" LOL Guy's made me a believer. With Enunwa down, he's coming into these games as the Jets #1 WR. He's getting a lot of attention. He's producing at a high level. Teams have always respected his upfield speed, so they give him a lil space. I questioned his toughness to take advantage of it. He's doing really well. He's shown toughness in contested balls. Great sideline awareness, mostly good hands. He and Herndon make a good 1-2 punch. If Enunwa can stay healthy it will only make Anderson more dangerous.

I 100% understand this line of thinking. And I even though I feel differently, I can't argue with anyone who feels this way. Confidence is a hard thing to quantify. How much more career-confidence would Sam have if he led them to a last possession win vs. just having a very good game? No one knows the answer to that. A loss, coupled with a strong performance by Sam, is better for the overall organization than him engineering a win - in my opinion, of course... I don't think the confidence he would get from having won that game outweighs the confidence he gained from a strong performance plus setting the organization up better in the draft plus helping to ensure TB is gone.

Looks to me that right now he's trending for a 1st round tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against the Packers yesterday, not necessary. He did enough to show that he's developing. In fact, his past three games have all been consistently good. We saw brights spots early in the year. Week 1 vs. Detroit, the game against Indianapolis, etc. But he wasn't consistent. There were some bad games in there....Miami, etc. But now, Darnold seems to be finding a bit of a rhythm. Win, lose or draw next week I'm thrilled that Sam will get the experience of a game on the road against the Evil Empire. Nothing would be better than beating the Patriots and forcing them to play on Wild Card weekend instead of getting a Bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
