This is a completely different game if we made it 14-0 after the TO in the first qtr....... I thought our Redzone play calling was atrocious in that spot and then missing the FG.... are you kidding me.... Once that happened I knew this game was gonna be a heart breaker...

Oh now, I beg to differ:
I hear it's the # 1 Destination for all WR's this year.
Bookings have quadrupled since yesterday.
The secondary(the CB's) is definitely the weak link. I sure as hell hope one of those CBs on the PS are legit.
I have always thought there is no way Fitz can reproduce last season numbers. We could have been 8-8 last year or worse. We are probably an 8-8 team like almost every team in the league. Things go right and we can get to 10-6 or 11-5. Or we could be 6-10. Frustrating but it is what it is.

If this team had a legit franchise QB, not even an elite franchise QB, just someone like, oh say, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Matt Stafford et al., this team wins 11 Games, minimum, and is a legit Super Bowl contender.
Lets face it, its the lack of a franchise QB that is dragging us down. We all hope Fitz can duplicate what he did last year, but its highly unlikely that a career journeyman can duplicate his proverbial 'career year', thats why I didn't waste one ounce of energy in the off season clamoring for the Jets to re-sign Fitz. If they re-signed him I wasn't going to complain about it, and I didn't, but I wasn't the least bit worked up over it. I was, in a word, indifferent.
That said, I'm just glad we didn't foolishly get locked into a multi-year deal at big money, so we are free to turn the corner as early as next year ... unless Fitz surprises us and does repeat his 2015 campaign, but he's off to a bad start.

Revis casino and resort
Alright a day has gone by and there is plenty to be happy about. Yes, the problems we have will plague us all season. Weak secondary is a huge problem.
Having said that,
bengals are a tough team. Have made the playoffs every year for the last few years and always carry a tough defense and solid offense. Despite playing like crap, we were right there for the win. We had the chance to get the W. Fix the little mistakes and we'll do well going forward.
Forte looked great. I thought the Oline played much better than I thought they would.

I agree 1,000 percent. This team is a 11+ win team with a decent franchise QB. Fitz is not that. He is average a best and not a franchise QB. Call me crazy and trust me, I don't care if you do but I honestly believe we could get similar stats this year out of Petty. Or Dak Prescott, if they would have drafted him. So if this was the case, then why is Fitz starting period? Ofcourse we are taking about ifs and I'm no QB guru or a team coach. So I know my opinion means absolutely nothing but it's just my take. That's all!
Only one way to change that. Jets must begin to play fearless than playing to secure points.
Can't fix Revis' age. Luckily he won't face AJG each week. Can't fix Fitz lack of quality wins. He was behind on almost every throw he made which could be the sorry arm strength or the fact that he wanted big time money and wasn't there for off season. As long as we play the Browns each week we will be fine. I love how good our DL looks, but this team is just an average team all the way around. We may waste the final two years for Forte. Only good news is maybe Revis can cover a one footed Watkins Thursday.

What's even more egregious about this is that even when he was doubled he still burned us. So I ask the question in all seriousness.......Is Todd Bowles telling that are doubling a WR what their responsibilities are? Bowles is a defensive guy so that is his area of responsibility and yet the players did not seem to know how to double AJ Green and be successful in stopping him. You EXPECT that a double team actually limits the receivers production. In this case, it did NOTHING.
Now I hate to use Bill Belichick and card stacking to illustrate a point, but I'd almost guarantee when the patsies play the Bengals, BB will double team AJ Green and somehow, MIRACULOUSLY, the players will work together and actually control Green's numbers. The Jets suck at it and I think it is Todd Bowles' inability to coach them up correctly...........
Wait you mean that you think we should have drafted Dak Prescott? First I'm hearing of this.
I wanted Prescott,he's a much better qb in the 4th than hack in the 2nd.

I'm guessing your joking here but just incase your not. Yup, I mentioned it during the draft. I was high on Wentz, Lynch and Prescott, in that order.
Yes sir, agreed, 10-4, ditto and hell yeah!
:18:
Yes joking. I think this was your first post in this thread where you did not tell us again how we should have drafted him.
