ausman Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Sooo... Defense very bad. I know that key injuries and a very thin bench are a big part of the story. But the coaches should still be able to devise a plan that responds to all that and at least gives who's left a fighting chance. But it seems like they are committed to a program come hell or high water and are willing for it to be hell. Kind of shows you the gap between a coach like Belichick and the rest including Saleh. I don't think "I don't have all the right guys" is a valid excuse. To me, you coach to the talent you have and the Jets' coaches haven't shown that flexibility, really at all. And that explains the bloodbath week in and week out. Offense... better. Wilson showed some flashes once he got into a rhythm and didn't have to play from way behind. Accuracy and touch are still an issue for him though. Line wasn't great, but receivers all in all were more than adequate. Specials? Other than the opening return and Berrios, not much there. Can't believe there aren't at least 32 people in the world that can accurately placekick a football. We seem to find the ones that can't and when we find one who can, we let them walk as if these guys are a dime a dozen. Officiating. blah.

ultraJETfan Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 So because Zach was #2 off the board that's supposed to automatically make him a top 10 QB? You guys are ******* delusional. He's not perfect but he played good enough today. I counted about 6 drops that above average WRs/RBs would make easy. Is Zach supposed to be so damn good that he can overcome the incompetence that is the entire team? I really don't get some of you dolts.

shuler82 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I thought Zach played pretty well today. It’s a low bar but he mostly took what the defense gave him, his mechanics seemed to be improved and was decisive in his reads. While his accuracy was better, it’s not where it needs to be. As for the defense.. it’s baffling. They’re pathetic against the run, and even though it’s supposed to be their secondary that’s the weak spot, it’s the screen passes, passes to the flat and opposing TEs that kill them. Blame the scheme, blame the players, who knows at this point. But it’s not an encouraging sign for a defensive minded HC. as for those refs.. no, it didn’t change the outcome of the game, but as a fan sitting through sh*tty play, get the calls right. Having to play against the other team and the referees every week is getting old. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions have actually been playing competitive football for the last 5 weeks now, if you haven’t noticed. The Jets have been trending in the opposite direction. And like I argued all week, beating the Texans in ugly fashion was not something to be proud about because it wasn’t a sustainable way to win. And look what happened this week…another blowout loss to a real team who didn’t even have their starting QB under center. Its us and the Texans in the mix for worst team.

Bleedin Green Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 4 minutes ago, HawkeyeJet said: This is the part of the whole discussion that isn’t as black and white as it is often discussed. His accuracy isn’t perfect, that is for sure. However he’s not so wildly inaccurate that receivers have no chance to make plays. In the 2nd half, Davis and Coleman both dropped balls that should be caught 95 times out of 100, if not more. Ty Johnson dropped one that was slightly high, but it went right through his hands. It’s not an easy catch, but not overly difficult either. Miles Sanders caught a ball in the first half that was much more difficult than that and made it look easy. There are all little things by Wilson and all the other offensive players we don’t consistently do that make the overall result frustrating. Except at the same time do you go back and take away credit from Wilson when wide-open receivers have to make ridiculous diving catches because of horrifically inaccurate throws? It has to go both ways. The reality is every QB in the league has to deal with drops and miscommunications, so it still does nothing to explain away why Wilson is regularly outperformed by backups of other teams, and the Jets own, at the position. He did have a pretty good (although not great) first half, but the legitimate concern is that he was back to the same Zach we've seen through much of the year in the second. I'm holding out hope he'll eventually get it all together, but excuse-making for why his terribleness is not his fault doesn't mean a thing at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, after holding the stubborn opinion of “I want my QB to throw TDs”, I learned to accept that a score is a score through those two. Would I, selfishly, preferred a throwing TD on the toss to Crowder that came up short a half yard away? Ya. Am I gonna be up upset and hold it against Zach even though he snuck in for a TD? Nah. He’s gotta clean up the turnovers. I think that will come with time. Today was a good step, even if the one overthrow for an INT was frustrating to watch.

Grandy Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 One thing to note. The biggest correlation between Wilson struggling in the 1st half compared to the 2nd up until this game was the amount of time the Defense was on the field. This was flipped today. He just seems to be much worse when the opposing offense is roasting us for 9 minutes. Maybe its a tempo or rhythm thing? Maybe he blows? Who knows.
