The 6-3
@nyjets
have spent all or part of this season without:
Mekhi Becton
Core Davis
Zach Wilson
George Fant
Duane Brown
Alijah Vera-Tucker
Breece Hall
Max Mitchell
So pardon me if IDGAF about the injuries your team was dealing with when they lost to the Jets.
Zach Wilson, a sub 55% career passer for the
@nyjets
coming in to this season, has completed 72% of his passes in his past two games.
If you're saying he's still the same guy, you either weren't paying attention last year, or you're not paying attention this year.
This is not
Zach Wilson throws an imperfect yet catchable pass to his WR who is being held just before the ball goes through his hands and gets intercepted between the CB's knees and people on here acting like he blindly heaved a ball up into triple coverage.
Broadcast acted like this never happened but were quick to tell the world that the
@nyjets
win shouldn't count because of a missed flag. All while ignoring the countless Bills holding penalties that drew no flags.
Jets O-Line:
LT: Becton
LG: Tomlinson
C: 4th center who is actually a guard
RG: 4th tackle who isn't actually a guard
RT: Max Mehtchell
"OMG I can't believe the Jets had such a hard time moving the ball"
The Jets could have made a run at DeAndre Hopkins
The Jets could have drafted Jaxon Smith-Njigba
The Jets could have drafted Jordan Addison
The Jets could have drafted Josh Downs
The Jets could have drafted Zay Flowers
The Jets could have traded for Hunter Renfrow
But they
I realize reports out of
@nyjets
camp say Aaron Rodgers is absolutely on fire as he's averaging just a couple of incomplete passes per day, but I'd like to remind all of you that he missed a day and a half of practice last month that's bound to set the team back several decades.
Pack fans: "Aaron isn't happier with the
@nyjets
, he just shaved"
Randall Cobb:
“I went up to the facility a couple of days ago to sign and just to see him happy and being himself, and the old Aaron Rodgers that I remember, he’s himself again.”
Interesting take from
@RichCimini
who says on Flight Deck podcast that he thinks Reddick never plays for the
@nyjets
and gets used as a trade chip to go get DaVante Adams.
Aaron Rodgers is a HoF QB, but his work as a
@nyjets
assistant GM leaves quite a bit to be desired.
Wanted Allen Lazard
Wanted Randall Cobb
Wanted Dalvin Cook
Wanted Billy Turner
All dead weight.
Hey,
@nyjets
. You're terrible. Again. How about some deep discounts in the NFL shop for those of us still dumb enough to throw away money on Jets merch?
Signed,
Fans who are more loyal than they should be
A rarity:
#Jets
GM Joe Douglas enters the highly anticipated 2024 season without having signed a contract extension. He’s in the last year of his deal.
My story:
The only interception Zach Wilson has thrown on his last 134 attempts went through his receiver's hands and was caught between the knees of the defender.
Absurd. Absolutely absurd and the reason why this team can beat any team on a given day. In a passing league, the
@nyjets
trio of corners is in a league of its own.
Great work from
@throwthedamball
showing top CB's at preventing separation.
I'll tell you what, if the Jets hire Robert Saleh, I'd take him and Joe D in a tag team match against any other GM/HC tandem in the NFL, so at least there's that.
Things the
@nyjets
should AT LEAST be considering right now:
- Tippmann starting at C or LG
- Becton flipping from RT to LT w/Mitchell or AVT at RT
- Sauce following other team's top receiver
- Getting Izzy on the field and involved
- Back to ground and pound but let ZW sling it
So let me get this straight:
- Zach Wilson replaced with Aaron Rodgers
- Mekhi Becton replaced with Tyron Smith
- Laken Tomlinson replaced with John Simpson
- Tippmann
- Carousel of RG's replaced by AVT
- Carousel of RT's replaced by Morgan Moses/Olu
2023 Breece Hall weeks 1-5:
Media on D. Watson:
“He’s got no help. What do you expect”.
Media on Sam Darnold, who has never had help:
“Make or break year for this kid. Jets might have to move on”
Until Reddick is in the building, the
@nyjets
have to consider starting Eric Watts or Braiden McGregor over Michael Clemons.
Talked about him as a possible cut for undisciplined play in the preseason and last night it allowed Buffalo to close out the win. It's not getting
Sam Darnold has started 26 NFL games and some say he has turnover issues, having thrown 28 INT's.
However, a whopping 50% of all of his INT's came in just 4 games.
He threw just 4 INT's over the last 9 games of 2019.
The Jets have their guy. Now the O-line has to hold up.
If you're going to purchase a
@nyjets
Jersey, might I suggest a few of these names:
Curtis Martin
Wayne Chrebet
Joe Namath
Wesley Walker
Al Toon
Joe Klecko
Marty Lyons
Joe Klecko
Nick Mangold
David Harris

Thank you, Joe Douglas.
O-Line picks may not be sexy, Jets fans, but the last time the Jets had a dominant O-line, they almost went to the Super Bowl with Mark Sanchez under center. Don't rule out more O-line on day two.
If Aaron Rodgers threw that same exact interception that Zach Wilson threw for the
@nyjets
last night, everyone ripping Zach today would be blaming the refs for not calling the hold on Surtain and causing the INT.
Imagine being an NFL team and knowing you may have an executive who believes Sauce Gardner "holds on every play".
@nyjets
fans know exactly what they've got in the best young corner in the NFL.
Unpopular truth
Zach Wilson played really good football today. Missed 2-3 throws but made some big-timeplays in a game with
-0 run game
-4 drops
-pouring rain
Dug deep in to the NFL archives for this clip.
December 19th 2021, the last time the
@nyjets
were beneficiaries of a roughing the passer call. Was starting to wonder if it really happened so had to go back and see for myself.
You're all clows
@NFLOfficiating
.
Sure would be nice if
@nyjets
higher-ups would just say "f*ck it", and give Joe Douglas the green light to get Reddick and Davante in the building ASAP.
Asante Samuel: 2x All-Pro in 11 seasons.
Sauce Gardner: 2x All-Pro in 2 seasons.
The young
@nyjets
CB has the old vet in a rage by taking just two years to match what took him 11.
Offensive points scored vs
@Broncos
this week:
Zach Wilson and the
@nyjets
: 24
Patrick Mahomes and the
@Chiefs
: 19
Tell me again how Zach Wilson's performance shouldn't earn any praise because it was against the Broncos.
Had some time to think about it, and it's time for a serious talk, Jets fans. Having been a fan for 33 years, is Brian Costello's hit piece on Bell the worst take any beat writer has ever had? Blaming Bell for taking carries away from Perine while ignoring 37 y/o Gore's 3.2 YPC?
Yes, there are injury concerns, but as currently constructed, the
@nyjets
have:
A top 10 QB.
A top 3 LT.
A top 5 DT.
A top 10 Edge.
A top 5 RB.
An Elite WR1.
A top 3 CB.
An elite CB2.
A top 10 RT
A top 5 nickel.
An All-Rookie team C.
A top 5 OLB.
An elite RG.
An elite WR2.
Even
The Jets need a true number one receiver along the lines of Michael Thomas, Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, AB, Keenan Allen, Adam Thielen, etc. and everybody knows that means going WR at 11. There's no way you get a player of that caliber outside of round 1. It just doens't happen.
Since narrowly missing the playoffs in 2015, the New York Jets are 23-59.
Booing Zach wasn't just about week 2. It was about 10 yrs of no playoffs and winning just 28% of their games since 2015 ended. Fans have run out of patience and don't want more excuses, valid or not.
If this is 2021 or 2022, we see Zach Wilson turn and bail as pressure up the gut is present and this becomes 2nd or 3rd and long.
The 2023 version stays in the pocket, drops his arm angle and gets the ball out to Breece for a first down.
This a little thing that's a very big
If you think Zach Wilson is in the running for worst draft pick in
@nyjets
history, I envy you for having not lived through the Vernon Gholston era.

Nobody can tell me the

should've avoided them due to injury history.

Crazy Fans freaking out☑️
Jets vs Pack thoughts:
-Darnold is legit
-Herndon is legit
-Robby is legit
-McGuire can be a player
-Extend Henry Anderson
-More Burnett/Leggett
-Bench Claiborne/Skrine next week
-Offense better when Kearse cares
-Miscommunication on defense disgusting
-One more week of Bowles
Lots of talk about Zach Wilson getting ripped on one of the postgame shows. Somebody needs to do themselves a favor and get
@damienwoody
as the lead guy on a post game show with a few dudes who aren't being outlandish for the attention. DW always keeps it real, keeps it simple.
Bart Scott on SNY post game show talking
@nyjts
vs Chargers:
"Everything bad that happened today happened because Billy Turner is not a good football player".
Per overthecap, the
@nyjets
would create roughly $22.3 million in cap space by extending John Franklin-Myers, DJ Reed and Tyler Conklin.
Seems like a pretty easy decision to me if the players were willing to hang around.
Gase played his franchise QB and franchise LT while already injured and will now be without both on Sunday. But please, keep defending this genius. This is Kotite bad, folks. Possibly worse.
The pessimism being displayed by many
@nyjets
fans right now is 100% justified and I won't knock anyone for it.
However, even at 2-4 I'm not giving up on this team after adding Adams.
Do they have issues? Yes. Every team does.
Do they have the best CB group in the NFL? Yes.
Wyoming transfer Isaiah Neyor lands in
@TexasFootball
to make that WR room a top group on the country. Big receiver (6' 3'') who can catch it in a crowd or beat you deep. Does a nice job of tracking deep balls and can outrun defenders. Texas football should be fun this year.
Just took a look at the roster Joe Douglas inherited. It consisted of:
QB: Darnold
RB: Nobody
WR: Robby, Crowder
TE: Herndon
OT: Nobody
OG: Nobody
C: Nobody
DL: Quinnen
LB: Nobody
CB: Nobody
S: Maye and the Prezmadonna
But sure, let's trash him bc it's not fixed in 2 yrs.
Joe Douglas Inherited
@nyjets
OL vs current OL
LT: Kelvin Beachum - Duane Brown (Carter Warren)
*LG: Alex Lewis - Laken Tomlinson
*C Jon Harrison - Connor McGovern (Joe Tippmann)
*RG: Brian Winters - Alijah Vera Tucker
*RT Brandon Shell - Mekhi Becton
*No longer in NFL
For all the time we've spent talking about Haason Reddick, the Jets still rank 2nd in the NFL in yards per game allowed, fourth in sacks and are tied for 5th in points allowed.
If the Dolphins land Joe Burrow on draft day, the Jets will still have the youngest QB in the AFC East. People doubting Sam this early on are going to look very silly one day.
Really can't take the idiots who discuss the
@nyjets
on a national level.
This offseason: "The Jets defense is good, but they don't create enough turnovers to be considered elite".
When Jets lead NFL in turnover worthy plays: "The Jets defense is good, but creating so many
Alarming number of former
@nyjets
players on offense playing at a MUCH higher level after leaving 1 Jets Drive.
- WR Elijah Moore has 640 receiving yards this season. More than twice the 311 yards posted by Allen Lazard.
- OT George Fant was let go this offseason and is
Alright
@nyjets
, looks like Brady is done and Kraft did the AFC East a solid in overruling Belichick and forcing him to trade Jimmy G. Take advantage of a rare break and build around Sam Darnold.
Why does McDonald to the
@nyjets
make sense? You've just added AR. He's going to put up points.
If you're not ready, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and company are going to put up more.
With Lawson on one side and QW in the middle, this could be another DROY.
Despite the existence of actual video of the actual achilles snapping in the
@nyjets
opener, there are boneheads out there saying this never happened.
Peak 2023.
