Three biggest differences in Zach Wilson's game today

[AFJF]

1) Did not bail from clean pockets.  Hung in there and went through progressions.  This was HUGE!

2) Located open receivers (kinda' basic, but hasn't been the case in recent weeks)

3) Used his legs.  Didn't run for 180 like Justin Fields, but even one or two first downs per week with his legs will give defenses one more thing to think about.  Has to take advantage of every tool he has and his athleticism is one of them.

Missed the game. Heard last drive on the radio. How’d he look?

In control, comfortable, smart with the football.

He ran for 2 first downs if I’m not mistaken and threw on time in rhythm another 4 or 5 times. He had miller on his heels and threw it away. Changed the play at the line a few times. 
 

very encouraging

Love you bud but I apparently watched a different game, kid was bad real bad we win despite of him.  Love this team hate Wilson.

[defensedoesntgetyoulaid]

No doubt, he totally outplayed Allen today. Nothing spectacular but was smart with the ball and made some key 3rd down throws to move the chains.

He was decisive and mostly accurate. 2.39 time to throw. Zach was getting the ball out quick which made the Bills pass rush almost a non factor.

He took the running yards when available. This was a really good game from Zach. Considering it was against a top defense, might have been his best game so far.

This is it. This is the barometer. Just run the play

Lemme guess... nothing in the post has anything to do with the OC also being better....?

[carlito1171]

Didn’t bail the pocket....stood tough. Climbed the pocket....even escaped for key positive yardage twice. That was my main issue with him and what I asked of him 1st and foremost. Can’t be a starting QB in this league without that ability. 
 

The nuance of detecting and attacking certain coverages will come with more experience. But there’s absolutely no chance of him becoming a franchise QB if he keeps his eyes on the rush and bails the pocket running around. Today was a promising sign.

Bwahahaha...

You don't understand football or stats right?

Since he told the other teams there are no plays for him the other teams don’t cover him.  When he tweets out that they have plays for him the other teams will cover him.

[NIGHT STALKER]

O line played one of their better games thus far.

He's played by far his best football when he just lets it rip. Things turn ugly when he gets cute with it.

Also my main issue.  The strip sack was nothing more  than a von Miller football  play, not necessirly on zw. 

The only bad I really play from Zach today was the crappy pass to Mims on the 3rd down. 

Very different Zach and MLF today. 

[Grandy]

Also this is such a fantastic game going into the bye. The extra week should be really good for Wilson. If he's gonna take that step forward it's probably going to be soon. 

[fullblast]

He corrected pretty much everything I’ve criticized him on this season. Let’s just hope he can build on it.

[Web72]

Kid was good enough today. Missed a couple throws and made a couple nice throws. Only real mistake he made was letting Von  Miller blind side strip sack him ( like that’s never happened before) .  
 

I think Zack is gonna be fine. Just gonna take a little longer than Maholms or Herbert did.

If that's your takeaway, yeah man, you did.

Was going to say, I thought the three biggest differences were he got the ball out fast, he got the ball out fast, and he got the ball out fast.

Buffalo has a great defense but it’s apparently more predictable than New England’s defense. Apparently New England was showing one defense then switching to another the second the play began confusing Zach and taking away a lot of these short game control throws making Zach have to beat them with explosives if he can hang in the pocket that long. Zach and the Jets have not figured out how to beat New England’s defense yet. The Bills don’t play a confuse the QB game. They flat out play hard nosed football and are pretty darn good at it but if the Jets didn’t turn the ball over and took what Buffalo was giving and if the Jets called and played almost the perfect game they could possibly win and they did and it worked. Great game plan.

Why do people keep putting Herbert in this conversation?

Why not Jalen Hurts ?

Wasn't asked to do much.  Jets decided to run down the clock and run the ball down Buffalo's throat.  He did hit Mims on a key pass on 3rd down but that was about it.

Good. Exactly what his game should be. Quick passes. 10-15 yard routes. Doesn’t always have to be flashy to be successful. 
I mean, throw a bomb to Mims every once in a while but outside of that.

Hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion. To me he passed the eye test today and put up a 101 rating. Did exactly what we needed him to do. His two worst plays were slightly high incomplete passes. That’s saying something against one of the best teams in the NFL.

It’s funny you write this. Had my sons hockey game today. Only got to hear a little of the first and the last drive. Only 2 passes I heard were the missed 3rd down and the converted both to Mims. 
 

on the radio they said it was high by ML says he thought Mims should’ve came down with it. 
 

Was wondering how Zach looked but a lot of them guys that are real hard on Zach seem to be saying he did well. So he had to play alright 

[Darnold's Forehead]

Zach made no bad decisions today.  No ints, no almost-ints, no bailing on the pocket.  Need him to play like this moving forward.  Hopefully things will then open up and the yards/tds will come.
