Jets will regret that win.
We might but I can guarantee you that they won’t. Next Thursday I wanna see Rypien start . The defense ate too much at halftime or something. I simply don’t understand how a supposed top 5 defense can give up 3TDs in a quarter and a half to Jacoby Brissett .

Lol. Flacco beats the Jets on Thursday and put the Browns in the Playoffs. Can it get any worse for Saleh and Co?

Even in a win, we showed next level incompetence on both sides of the ball. Mr. CEO of the coaching staff really needs to get his shit together

Seriously do you trust this front office with a top 10 pick needing an OLman and a QB ?

The best thing this team can do is win the last few games and force JD into a trade down option.
tbh I want them sacked, I was a big fan but this season has ended that.

Saleh outcoached by Rivera at the end. If you have a one or two point lead in the last two minutes and you know that the other team has an ace kicker, you don't just run three times and punt. Washington kept their eyes on the prize, the top QB prospect that they need from the draft. Never mind, the Jets will be able to sign Sam Howell as next year's backup.

In my opinion, not that it's worth much because I missed so many games, it wasn't the coaches that almost lost this game. I believe that the defense lost it's focus and confidence in the second half when they put Brissett in. No excuse for that. On the offense Becton and Siemian were the main culprits. Siemian's passing accuracy was horrible. He had both hands on that high snap and shouldn't have let it get away from him. A sack would have been better than a turnover. The two intentional groundings were rookie mistakes. Becton couldn't stop holding which provided negative yardage to help things along. Damn. I should have stayed at camp. I dread to think how bad it would have been without Hall, Wilson, Conklin and Izzy.

Mr. HATER is in rare form today! You play to win the game always! Players and coaches don’t think like fans do. At least they shouldn’t anyway.
In return, Jets fans in particular hate all coaches. I guarantee if the Jets fired Saleh, it would take one incompletion on the first drive of the first preseason game for the fan base to go nuts and want people fired. Been here almost a half century. Seen it every time.

Agreed, 1000 percent!

But to be fair 17 wins in 3 years is not very good.

Absolutely agreed. However, judging solely by record in the short term only furthers the necessity for a front office to think solely in the short term. Now some argue that there is no long term in the NFL, but when you inherit a bare cupboard, short-term solutions aren't solutions at all.

I guess I feel like 5 years is not short term. He swung for the fences with Becton it failed. He swung for the fences with Zach it failed. And he swung for the fences with Rodgers and it was a colossal failure and it was his fault for the bad trade and having no plan for backup. Sometimes things just don't work out well. I felt like he was doing things the right way and doing it through the draft, but then he overestimated his roster and missed.

We have no idea if Rodgers was a colossal failure yet or not. It was for this season, but I don't know if anyone could have predicted his season would end in four plays.

I suppose if we only look at the draft picks that didn't work out, we can say he has been a failure. Then again, any GM is if you only factor in the moves that don't work.

More misses than hits. Two wasted drafts. I just feel like he has to be held responsible for this mess. They do not need to extend him and it's deep in playoffs or bye.

My counter would be that for whatever reason, the formula of Douglas drafting for Saleh has produced better results. Not perfect, but show me a team that has perfect drafts. I would say that Douglas' drafting has been better with Saleh, as if they were more on the same page than he was with Gase.

Logic has no place in a conversation where fandom exists. Especially when you throw in 54 years of futility.
Saleh’s record is what it is, and he has to own it. Trouble is this fan base is so jaded there’s no room for development. Injuries have been a huge factor in the evaluation process for JD . Becton is not the same player after multiple knee injuries. Pretty sure AVT won’t be either . This fan base is so desperate for another Mangold they can’t see that Tippmann is a better fit at guard.

Unfortunately winning THIS game makes it less likely that we win meaningful games next season. Joe Alt will be celebrating this Christmas present of less likelihood of getting drafted by the Jets. You can't tell me that Rivera was thinking of winning the game when he called those three run plays, or Jacksonville when they tanked for Trevor.

On the other hand this was always likely to be a trap game for the Jets and, as the comms said, if they had lost after being twenty points up at halftime the entire team might have imploded. Normal service will be resumed on Thursday.
