Video shows the guy who did it pretty clearly and where he was sitting.  White guy, white/greenish shirt, next to a guy in what looks like either a black Jets #1 (Sauce) Jersey. 

Just pause the video and look for yourself.

Here is our guy, mid throw, bottle in right hand at bottom of pic:

I think it was Jets on Jets violence.

He looks like the kind of douche that would throw a bottle.

Zach Wilson's mom expresses her displeasure after Jets QB gets hit with water bottle

Wilson helped guide the Jets to a win over the Buffalo Bills

 

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson had a water bottle thrown at him as he walked off of the field at MetLife Stadium Monday night following the team’s overtime win against the Buffalo Bills.

His mother, Lisa, was not happy about it.

The bottle incident was shown during Scott Van Pelt’s portion of the postgame show on ESPN after the "Monday Night Football" broadcast. Wilson had a touchdown pass in the win, as he was thrust into the game following Aaron Rodgers’ injury.

Lisa Wilson went on her Instagram Stories to express her displeasure.

"That happened after they won the game," she wrote. "Hit him right in the head. Awesome."

Lisa Wilson recapped the night from her car earlier in the day. She said she did not expect her son to be put into the game and was thankful for having a superstar like Rodgers to help guide her son.

"I thought this was going to be a year of development and growing and learning and we were all going to get to sit and watch this amazing connection that Zach and Aaron have, which Aaron has been so, so good to Zach, and he has been just really such an amazing support and just holding his hand through all of it, and he’s been learning so much and that quickly came to an end," she said.

Lisa Wilson added that being a mother of athletes was "really stressful."

"The bottom line is our main job as a mother, as a parent, is to support them and to love them and to comfort them and let them know that no matter what, they have a No. 1 fan."

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson will be the starting quarterback moving forward despite swirling rumors of the team looking to add a veteran to the roster.

"We are going to look through some things, but I do want to make it very clear: Zach’s our quarterback," Saleh said. "We’ve got a lot of faith in Zach. We’re really excited about his opportunity, but we’re rolling with Zach and excited for this and excited for him."

I don’t know why you get so sensitive. The “Zach pragmatists,” lol. There is ferocious hate for this 24-year-old kid.

Now who is being a drama queen.  

"Zach threw a bad pass."

"WHY DO YOU FERROCIOUSLY HATE HIM SO MUUUUUUUUCH!!!!! BOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Seriously.

It’s available here, Twitter, Facebook and probably at the stadium… or do you disagree?

There is bad attitude about literally every single thing and every single topic on X and Facebook.  Zach is neither unique or particularly special in that regard.  Maybe don't judge us all by the poop on X?

23 minutes ago, slats said:

I’m not accusing you. Don’t know why you get this defensive.

Well, if I follow your logic, I am defensive because this claim that what we post on the interwebs critical of Zach leads to assault of Zach via water bottle, then what you post on the internet will lead to abuse of posters like me for our "ferocious Zach hate" if/when we reference his poor production and play quality.

When I posted that, I thought we were in agreement. Oh well. There’s no doubt in my mind that this guy felt positively reinforced by the negative vitriol on the internet -that he has almost certainly been a part of- to pull this crap. He believed he was a hero to other arseholes. I’d post the famous meme, but you won’t change my mind. 

We are in agreement on the fundamentals:  Fans should never, ever throw objects at players, and those who do should face lifetime bans from the stadium.

We don't agree about Zach critics online being the reason this dick did what he did.

One might wonder how drunk he was, as a starting point.  Maybe, and this is just a thought, the vast quantities of alcohol available and happily provided by tailgating and the Jets own concessions miiiiiiight just play a part in events like this, more so that posts critical of Zach's completion percentage.

I've never really commented on Zachs attention-whore mother, but she should take a break right about now. Go back to Utah. Seriously. 

 

You aren't helping your baby boy at all with sh*t like this. 

 

We want to like the kid, he seems like a good dude. Unfortunately,  you ARENT LIKEABLE, Mrs. Wilson. Go home.

I’d imagine she’s a big reason why Wilson is always in Utah. Stunting his career. Women documents her whole life on social media. Sucks for Zach honestly.

I'd rather they get a solid punch in the face.  Instant justice.

Must really add to your street cred and respect in the locker room when your mom has to stick up for you on the Insta over something like that. 

If he did get hit by a projectile, it's an unfortunate thing but unless he was actually injured by it, why bring it to the public's attention?  She's not doing Zach any favors with this.

Street cred?  Really?  She's his mom.  For F sake.  Have a snack.

Everything about this is a disappointment.  This is just really sad.

Maybe you should start a thread openly bashing all the “Zach meanies” here and threaten to ban us so this never happens again.

I don't know, on this one singular issue (bottle throw) I think she's 100% right.  Almost everything else she's said, not so much, and her social media "look at me, I'm a Tiger Mom" thing, definitely not.  Sign of the times tho, I guess.

So what?  So are you.  You planning something we should know about?

If anything, again, he was likely drunk.  Want to ban tailgating w/ alcohol and any alcohol in the stadium, because that would solve soooooo many problems.

Or perhaps the problem is self-reinforcing echo chambers people often put themselves in online, leading to a total intolerance of opposing or alternate viewpoints and leading to more and more extreme positions?  Maybe that's part of the problem too.

Ultimately, I just think you're original premise "Critical Zach posters" are equivalent to the "ferocious hate" you see on X and the like and caused this assault, well, I think that's misguided. 

Happy to agree to disagree rather than belabor this for hours.

Dear Zach Wilson’s hot mom,

If your son wasn’t putrid at QB, we wouldn’t throw stuff at him. I hold out no hope that he will guide the ship. He has very low football IQ.

So now cynical Jets fans are responsible for some drunken doosh tossing a water bottle at a game. That’s almost as brain dead as blaming fans who say mean stuff on the Internet for Zach sucking as a football player.
