TMAC Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 It would be perfectly consistent with Jets tradition for team to lay an egg on Sunday and lose to the hapless Redskins. They are coming off an important win against the Giants. Sam looked good. The front 7 on defense played quite well. Adjustments were made in the secondary. Perfect opportunity to stab their fans in the heart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In past years I would have been all about the draft pick. This year, by far the most important thing for the Jets is to try to understand what Darnold is. 5 Wins with Darnold showing good improvement would be fine by me. You can build a line in the first 3 rounds, you don't need to have a top OL prospect. Not saying I wouldnt want that, but they arent a mandate. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Agree. This is a classic SOJ loss coming up . Hopefully, this young "core" we have (I'm being kind) can start to change things. I will write it again - In order for me to start to believe in this group, I would need to see this team beat Washington, Cincy, Miami, and Oakland. That would be six total wins and another win against a decent team (Oakland). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Classic let down game from the Jets is absolutely right. As others have said in this thread, paramount importance for the rest of this season is to let Sam build confidence in himself (by winning games), reps against other D’s, chemistry with his team, and comfort in this offense (in case Gase comes back). After that, everything should be about Joe Douglas evaluating the roster and coaching staff. Gase sucks and I want him gone, but I wish we wouldn’t have to search for a new guy. I held out hope that he was the guy. He’s got 7 games left and 0 excuses to prove he deserves to be back. My advice to him is to do what he did this week...Let Darnold dictate the offense. Tailor each game plan around his comfort level. No ones rationally expecting us to win out with this roster. He just has to show he can adapt his sh*tty system into a hybrid of what Sam wants. You would think these things are common sense, tailoring an offense around a players strengths and wants. Look what its done for Baltimore and Houston. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Unless we knock haskins out, i cant see us losing this game. Haskins isnt teady to play. We should demoralized this guy. It not like the jets looked good last week. They were bad, they just beat sn awful team. I think the Jets actually put a good game together this week and win 28-10.

If Darnold plays well over the last 7 games, and we finish 5-11 and have good reason to believe Darnold can be a franchise QB that is a good thing. Even if it means we lose out on Andrew Thomas. I would rather pick 8th and think we have the QB that can lead the franchise for the next decade than pick 3rd and know that we don't. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Picking 8th isn’t even some kind of doomsday scenario for me. We can still overhaul the OL without committing our 1st round pick to it. And potentially walking away with someone like Jeudy or Lamb isn’t exactly a bad consolation prize. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. We'll trade up and grab him. Only gonna cost the next two 1sr rounders. It'll be the bestest move ever made by anybody ever.

I hear ya. Ideal world, Sam plays well, we fall short in most games because of no pass rush and a porous secondary and still pick 2 or 3 while believing we have solved for the QB. My expectation though is if Sam plays well, we are likely to win a few games against bad opponents. So be it. I would rather see that happen than Sam sucks as we lose our last 7 and still feel like we need a new QB while we auction off the #2 pick. And if the QB is developing as we win a few games, I would argue that the wins are not meaningless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that be to take a key player or be able to trade down.

JetFaninMI Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 They should pummel the Redskins but this is a classic letdown game. I'm hoping they show-up and play well enough to win. You never know with this team. I'm thinking they beat the Skins, Cincy and the Fish but anything can happen and this team can and will lay an egg at any given time.

Reading fans using the word pummel cracks me up. The team around Darnold blows chunks & has had an avalanche of injuries. This team as constituted has to play at a high level to beat these teams that are pretty much in the same boat as we are. That Cowboy win was a STUNNER, that team has 4 years of building compared to where we're at. Be like us losing to a bottom feeder 3 years from now, ugh, shoot me!
