Didn’t expect White to throw 57+ in this game but that’s what happens when you’re playing from behind. Other observations:

*BAM. Nuff said. Play him. He’s a stud.

*Thank God Quinnen’s injury wasn’t serious.

*Fant was better than Mitchell other than that illegal block in the back. Mitchell got beat like a drum in this game.

*Somebody ripped Garrett Wilson in this thread. You know who you are. Whatcha got now? He’s electric.

*play White the rest of the way. I’m sold. He’s definitely better than Wilson right now.

Just don't short out.

There were a few bad drops that could have changed the outcome of that game. Berrios was just the last and most remembered. NO receiver catches 100% of the passes thrown to them. Was just bad timing for his miss. Does it drop him from being one of my favorite players on the team? Hell no it doesn’t. He plays with heart and plays his ass off.
Agree. It was a tough catch anyway

Everyone’s shitting on Lefleur but I think it was the players not executing there more than the play calling. You’ve gotta get nasty in the red zone and push somebody over. We didn’t. That’s players not OC. Just my opinion.
I don’t feel like he called a single play in the Red zone where we could just punch them in the mouth and run the ball. No I formation, no extra TE or lineman.

He is always calling the cutesy trick plays and just never plays smash mouth football.

all week all we heard was how Jefferson was the next coming, well he was shut down and GW outgunned him by 120+ yards.
Yeah that’s great! It really is but the Jets still lose. That’s the button line here! I don’t blame it on the players in particular. They played their hurts and fought tooth and nail. This one is going to have to go on the coaching staff, but how can we truly say that when the offense had damn near 500 yards and the defense allowed under 300?

We still control our destiny in December so I will take it. I hope they make the playoffs, but more importantly I hope we found our QB.
Beating Buffalo in Buffalo will be TUFF next week but the Jets can do it. They did it with Zach Wilson, why not with Mike White!

Personally, I think the defense played decent. Still missing too many tackles and interception opportunities and struggled against the run and yes I realize they were facing some tough running talent but that's what you face playing against playoff caliber teams and you have to be able to handle it if you want to compete in the playoffs. The offense was offensive................they played like wimps every time they got in the red zone and allowed that defense to manhandle and outplay them. They have to get better............quickly. Lefleur made a few questionable calls but mostly the execution was not good. They better eat their spinach before next week or Buffalo will eat them alive. At least the Raiders want us to make the playoffs....................they beat the Chargers to keep them from taking our #7 spot. Thank you Raiders for giving us a chance.

At this point I'm not looking past any team. SO much more football to be played. This game was disappointing, but losing to the Pats on a punt return was way worse.
Ugh yup had to remind me
Two wins left on the table
Last play lose
On the one
Lose
Beat Buffalo and as of today they’re the AFC #1 seed

By the way
Jets + 9 1/2
Next week

You just answered your own question.

The yardage was there on offense. They moved it on some big drives only to get bullied down in the red zone. Nut up, get angry, and throw your opponent on the ground. That’s what you do in those moments.

And they didn’t. The players. No excuse kicking all of those FG’s. It was ridiculous. Can’t win on the road that way.

Yeah, I see where you’re coming from! To put up all those yards just to end up with 5 field goals is disgusting. So it seems like Lefluer did call a good game. The defense giving up that crucial second half TD was a bunch of BS also. I’ll give you that!

I thought the D played ok. You can contain Cousins and Jefferson, but then you have to expect Dalvin Cook to rip a few. Looked like we missed a few assignments on him. But overall the secondary played pretty well and the pass rush got there sporadically.
