Discussing the Jags game earlier, the pundits said that the guys who are going to become great QBs show it by their second year, and it seems that the ceiling for Lawrence is 'average'. Guess who was drafted immediately after Lawrence?

5-5 after the cheatahs, we all agree.

then we have:
bears W
Vikings L
bills L
Lions W
Jags W

if things played out as it would seem, 8-7 at this point. Does that ever happen?
Seahawks
Dolphins

Bills will beat us
Vikings, Seahawks are pretty good
can we sweep the phins?
Bears kicked Cheatah ass in cheatah land
should beat Jags and Lions, but even good teams don’t beat every team that they are supposed to beat

I’m no longer confident, and if the team loses confidence in Zach too, we are in trouble

if we win 7 or 8 after starting 5-2 does that inspire confidence?
They’ll win 7-9 games like we all pretty much predicted at the beginning of the season. I’ll say an even 8 sounds about right. The defense, running game and special teams will find away to carry Zach to 8 wins this year.

Dolphins will probably have Tua, in which case they are the #2 team in the division. Looking more like 7-9 to me.

Ok. Sounds good right? But
what if:
Zach doesn’t get better
the team loses faith in Zach and quits
we go 8-8 again next season and Zach still hasn’t improved. Probably not drafting a franchise QB at 8-8 unless we are lucky which we are not

lets face it, if we win 8 after starting 5-2, then Zach probably didn’t live up to expectations or hopes

at this point, we pretty much have to win a game that we are not supposed to and Zach has to be the reason. Seems easy enough. 1 game. Even bad QB’s do that

Yup. Which would be ok at the beginning of the season had we at least split with belichick. But after starting 5-2, 7-9 doesn’t inspire hope anymore

when the season began, I hoped for 500 at worst. Not as a happy point, just as a worst case with some hope. We added a ton of talent. Parcells takes us somewhere with this talent

A lot of predictions going on.

The season is usually a roller coaster. There’s so much football left, I’m going to just sit back and watch. I can see it going any number of ways. If Zach shits the bed, then all of his detractors can congratulate themselves on how right they were. If Zach plays better, and the Jets win, then said detractors can backpedal and have the benefit of enjoying it all while looking like fools throwing the towel in on him so early.

I’ve been a Wilson guy through and through, but even I can’t excuse his decision making today. Every INT was bad. I don’t understand the thought process behind any of it. Throw the damn ball out of bounds. Stop trying to force the ball somewhere where nothing exists.

On the flip side, he’s also throwing some incredible passes, too. The athleticism and arm talent is there. He just needs to learn when to take chances downfield. He’s still young. He can learn from this. I’m nowhere near giving up on him. You don’t use the #2 pick on a guy and bail on him 18 games into his career. No matter what angry fans say.
We shouldn't bail, but maybe having a seat when you suck would wake him up.

When you tell the fans ;
You have to win your home games
The culture has changed
Get in your seats early and cheer
We remember what happened last year
You better put up
Save your receipts

I’ve heard all this shit before
Boy am I glad I dumped those seats
50 years too late

Yeah they remember getting embarrassed. What a joke.

You’re wrong. It’s going to be a close game. Unless Wilson is allowed to give the game away again.
See, this is just wrong. Sorry. You’re being emotional about it. You’re singling out Wilson despite the fact that the Jets made many mistakes today in all three phases. They lost as a team.

I agree...........sort of. There's no denying that Zach shit the bed today but as you said , the physical talent is there but his thought processes are slow and questionable much of the time. I don't know how you correct that problem other than game reps, game reps, and more game reps. Do any fans want to endure the number of games that might take ? I don't know the answer to that. He has the makings of a really good QB but unfortunately he also has those bad habits of a bust QB. I'm expecting the Jets, mostly because they drafted him so high to weather the storm with him in hopes that he will get his act together before end of season. Lord help these Jets and their fans because they sure need lots of help.

They may have lost as a team but the downward spiral started with the Zach interception late in the second quarter. Yes the JFM penalty (that truly shouldn’t have been) was a true killer as well but they wouldn’t have even been in that situation if it wasn’t for the interception.

They were driving for the halftime touchdown or field goal. That right there makes the score 17-3 or 13-3. The second half Zach killed the team even worse with the other stupid ints. This lost was was totally on Zach, I’m sure if you asked him he would tell you that. Even though they lost as a team.

Well, you got your wish. But you can call it 5-5 with 2 loss’s to belichick cause that’s what it will be. We need to be able to beat him more than ever now that the Bills are good. Can’t make the playoffs very often finishing 3rd in the division

he made Peyton look like crap for years. Imagine how many super bowl rings Peyton has if belichick didn’t exist. He made Zach look like a high schooler in the 2nd half today. And we have been a second half team so far thriving on second half adjustments. Today showed that belichick still has our number

Zach made himself look like a highschooler today. He didn't need any help from Belichick. His decision making and infrequent passing accuracy did it all.

Good point. The defense and special teams were less than stellar today as well and the "O" line wasn't very efficient at giving Zach time. And...........as I alluded to above we likely have no choice but to be supportive and hope these guys get it figured out before end of season so that next season there will be real reason for hope.
