The closer this game stays the more I like the Jets chances.

So a team has a better chance to win a close game than if they’re getting blown out?

At what point do these refs get held accountable for being absolute ******* dog sh*t.

All Jeff Smith does is his job.

Gotta start taking him a little more seriously.

It’s nice playing the Lions secondary. Pump the brakes.

A shame about that Smith play in the endzone. Almost a beautiful throw and catch, and if not should've been PI. Got screwed there.

That and his first pass of the game out of the end zone was blatant pass interference.

It's unreal how they "let them play" when we're on offense for the past 10 years, but call everything when we're on defense.

Maybe trying to make Wilson a system QB game manager was the problem...so far MLF is calling a lot of roll outs and taking shots deep which I didn't see any of all season.

Yeah a lot of us have been screaming for more rollouts  and designed runs for him.  He had the athletic ability to do well with that

Zach gets accurate when he gets out on the move. He seems to struggle going through he reads in the pocket, which is not comforting.

The defense needs to step up. They’ve been been pretty bad

The Lions have 3 points on offense.

The officials and the league were, very clearly, not happy with Garrett Wilson calling them out.

I forgot about this. Excellent point. The officiating has been really bad today.

Family Christmas party winding down. Stats look ok, how is our Zach doing?

Not perfect but much better than he has. Isn’t making idiotic plays which is a huge plus

Try to tell that to Matty Ice.

Being tied 10-10 and getting the ball to start 2nd half is a good place to be. 

[Guilhermezmc]

get garrett wilson the ball

The 40 and 50 yarders were under thrown, but the Lion secondary is so bad Zach got away with both. He looks a lot better than I was expecting though.

The second half should be fun… it felt like both teams left a lot of points out there.

This is basically the only 1st half summary anyone needs. Spot on.

good point. and jets get the ball to start the half. Let's Go!

They drafted the worst possible QB for their system....they either need to play to his strenghts or trade him.

Jets defense really is that good. Imagine if they had a pass rusher like Von Miller?

This might be the best first half of his career. Not going to lie, wasn’t thrilled he was starting today but I’m hoping he can prove all the doubters wrong.

Solid?

It was awesome!  He was under a lot of heat and had a few calls that weren't called otherwise he was on point.

I legit dont understand how the Jets continue to get ****ed by the refs, game after game.  Like, it seems unreal how often sh*t doesnt get called, how ticky tacky the Jets get called....like, has nobody in the franchise complained at all?  I get officiating sucks in general but am I crazy or does it at times feel deliberate w/ this team? 

 

It’s really bad. Someone in the Jets media department should whip up a quick “highlight” video of awful non-calls and submit it to the league office as a formal complaint.

Best news is the great Lions offense hasn't scored a TD yet. Keep it up Jets!

That was PI he pulled him back and impacted his ability to catch it. So frustrating.

Good to end the half tied. Jets get the ball and let Zach build on the first half.

The kid is streaky they have to remember that. Getting him off to a fast start is so important.

Agreed. They should keep letting him throw it on the run. Detroit’s secondary is a sieve.

Only gave up 3 points to a high scoring offense… you’re a tough grader.

[JetPotato]

SALEH NEEDS TO SAY SOMETHING 

Post-game, he needs to make headlines. Be willing to take a huge fine, and TEAR THE OFFICIALS A NEW ONE.

This isn't even debatable any more. The Jets week in and week out aren't just on the unfortunate side of unbalanced calls. It is CLEAR AS DAY THAT THEY ARE BEING TARGETED. You can't consistently miss this volume of blatant calls otherwise.

Drastic action is needed to shine a light on this nationally. 

[frankiepapa]

Jets have no pass rush. 

Couldn't feel this way last year but think we'll see some adjustments in the 2nd half

meh, this has been happening, all season.  The Mac Jones bull sh*t, the first half vs. the Vikings, officiating sucks, for sure but it really does feel deliberate.

Why don't ML call rb hook ins over the middle to Bam and Carter? its always a safe 6 or 7 yd gain that every team in the league executes except us.

[Rangers9]

In first half Lions received ball first and are +5 min on TOP.

The “mobile” QB is the exception.
