Ha!

Truth is...He did what you guys were calling for.  Step up in the pocket, make quick decisions and get the ball out.  And ran when nothing was there.

If he continues to just step up in the pocket like that, doesn't throw off his back foot - he's going to be fine and we're going to the playoffs.

Dammit. You just jinxed him.

If you buy a #2 jersey I will murder you.

He said he "learned from his mistakes" the week leading up to the game and, unlike a guy like Darnold, he actually proved on the field that he had learned from many of them.

SNY today should be fun.

I don't buy jerseys any longer.  I learned that hard lesson from Sanchez.

Zach looked great!

Big man move there. But need to see this consistently before any commitments are made. They stopped the running around thing and gave him a little protection. Game balls to secondary and O line.

Well, I didn't think he was making any meaningful progress or even capable of doing so.  So whatever he becomes, he showed significant progress today.  Meaning I was wrong no matter what way you look at it.

Most of the time I’m just kidding around.  I don’t think you’re a bad fan at all.  I completely understand your POV.  It’s been a rough 9 years as a Jet fan so I get that it’s tough to fully embrace positivity.  I’m not a ZW cheerleader either.  I have openly said he sucked last week and was the reason we lost.  I’ve been screaming about him running backwards.  Now I do have more faith in him but im not sure he is the guy yet.  However today gave me more hope for sure 

[JTJet]

Like an 80% competition rate and no turnovers, other than a fumble that wasnt his fault. 

That's exactly what we need out of him.

Played smart. Played well enough to win. That’s a really good sign of growth after last weeks game. Quite honestly, this season has been two steps forward, one step back for him. I will take that any day for a second year quarterback. Trajectory is still upwards.

I thought he was close to being done after last game, but for the first time actually put together a complete and good game. Against the top team in the league no less. 

I'm thrilled to be wrong about him being bullied this game. 

[carlito1171]

He stood tough in the pocket today....took off when he needed to.....sacrificed himself for yardage....and limited his mistakes

Gotta give credit where it’s due 

[Big_Slick]

I'll cheer you up. You were saying Zach was so bad I was going to ask you if you thought he was worse than 'sweet Sammy'.

Yeah, I hope you learned your lesson, 80! Now go to your room and think about what you've learned!

Wait, no... not your room!

True I could live with that type of TO since it wasn’t all on him but he still stayed focused

Yep. 

Think about what Tua & Allen looked like in year 2,and then year 3.

It’s literally all I’ve wanted to see from him!! Don’t care about the end game stats, just run the offense.

After today, I'd argue the Bills are, at best, the #2 defense.

Good point!

[Jets Voice of Reason]

Zach stepped up and played smart today. The fake punt run was a really gutsy call. throwing it away on a play eerily like last week was great. The sack he took at the end of the game was also a good play. Didn’t risk something dumb for a td for something that was covered. 

man, is it beautiful to have a real pass rush. 

Garret wilson is a beast. If we lose breece, ride the other dominant rookies. This rookie class has been phenomenal. Probably the best class I can remember since the Brick-Mangold one.

This is what year 2 should be about.  Get that figured out.  Once he gets that and can do it over and over again.  Year 3 he takes it to the next level, starts to be team that can put the team on his back.

[GreenFish]

Time to feast. Tab in on 80.

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Nah you still suck. 
 

 

Gooooooo Jets!

[Jets723]

It’s funny they showed a graphic of Allen and ZW stats the first 18 games and they were pretty similar.  Now I don’t personally love Allen as much as others do.  I feel if you take away his running game he isn’t close to being the same player.  I think ZW can use his legs but as a great arm.  If he just keeps it simple like today watch out

Our defense is legit AF. Sauce was such a money pick and it’s awesome seeing sauce in coverage for end of play games. He just don’t miss.

I'll take some of those lumps with ya . Very happy jet fan right here !!!!!!!!!! Our D stopped the number one offense in the NFL and the best QB.

I love the way we ran the ball down their throats to end this game

Garrett Wilson is the best WR this franchise has had since Al Toon.

Still think we're basically cheering that Zach Wilson did not shat himself. With this defense, that's probably enough most games. A playoff berth is a distinct possibility, but not sure it's good enough to make noise if they get in.
