Jets had more Rushing yards, Passing yards, 1st downs, Time of Possession

[jetstream23]

Still lost and it didn’t really feel close. Weird game.

You could stack that in the shelf with the Moral victory thread stating the Jets are not that far off from being mediocre, let alone decent . Lol

Garbage time is magical for skewing stats

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

The brutal stupid mistakes are a telltale sign of a poorly coached team 

there were so many

just to name one: Cager should not have even been on the field 

You spend all this FA money on TEs and then run your 4th string TE out there on a critical passing down 

I’d rather see Ruckert out there

Reminds me of another miserable Jets-Ravens game from years past. Anybody remember this classic?

What was it, two punts returned for TDs in the rain under Groh? Vinny was on fire.

Guys, Baltimore is not that good of a team.  Probably the worst team in that division, especially when Watson returns. Defensively, the next 3 teams from that division are more stout. We are a terribly coached team with no QB, and an o line that is below average. We aren’t beating anyone basically.  This is a 3-4 win team at best again.

Agreed top 5 pick incoming.

I expect Woody to go hard after Payton in the off season. Although he isn’t coming here, no matter what Woody offers him.

He’s a lock to be a Cowboy. Needed Dallas to have a monster year for us to have a shot at Payton. But now Prescott is out 6-8 weeks.

That would be the one! I was so young and naïve then.

I'm surprised to read this. Game felt totally one-sided for the Ravens in the second half and the score indicates it. I did turn it off w/5 minutes left though.

[Jet9]

Cliche, but there's only one stat that matters.

I think the deciding factor was TDs

[Biggs]

So the D wasn't gassed in the second half by all those sustained Ravens Drives?

I agree with this, Balt is going to be a non layoff team, they are not impressive at all.

[Bugg]

Garbage time after Ravens pulled in the horns because Jets were noncompetitive. Traded clock for yards last 20 minutes of the game.

The Jets were ahead statistically even at the end of the first half - it wasn't just garbage time.

Vinny also threw 3 brutal interceptions, including a 100 yard pick six that turned the game around

Yeah, the game was reasonably close in those categories. I posted in another thread. Two fumbles - one by each team - both recovered by Baltimore. Ravens clearly won special teams - missed XP and FG by Zuerlein, poor punting by Mann. Jets couldn't convert on third down. And that horrible busted coverage by a new secondary.

This team isn't good, but there's a ton more talent than they've had in recent years. Two things that could bring it together - to the point of not being a top five type team - are quarterback play and coaching. Probably time to hit 2-3 reset buttons (with the three being GM, HC, QB) after this season if they're still a bottom of the league team.

Also (tongue in cheek) - bottom teams in the league of point differential from worst to...less bad: Cardinals, Rams, Cowboys, Packers, Jets, Patriots. Five 2021 playoff teams and the Jets. Good company!

4.9 yards per rush too.

[T0mShane]

What this tells me is that the Ravens didn’t take the Jets seriously until they had to, and for only as long as they needed to get up by three TDs. If they wanted to, the Ravens could have won that game by 40.

Vinny was awful. He had 4 turnovers - 3 picks and a fumble.  One was a pick 6 and I think another was in the end zone. The Jets were up 14-0 and driving and Testaverde fumbled. Baltimore scored and that turned the game around.

Ravens were running into 7-8 man fronts. They knew what they were doing. I initially thought they were afraid to let Jackson throw it, but watching it again it definitely seems like they had a plan. Keep running and wear down the defense then take their shots. They likely expected the Jets offense was not going to do much so they could afford to risk punting it back to them.

Third down conversions or lack of them is what killed us along with the 37 year old Tree at QB

We were The better team IMHO just lacking a QB was the difference and the idiot kicker we decided to keep didn't help matters

[Hex]

And yet, the Jets were lacking in the most important statistical category: points.

But this was against what was possibly a top 3 defense of all time and I thought he threw for over 420 yards in the rain and slop, no?  Most QB's were throwing for what seemed like 150 yards per week against that team.  Either way...miserable loss.

Denver had more yards, first downs, time of possession, blah, blah, blah, than Seattle. Didn't help them either.
