Official Game Thread: New York Jets @ Baltimore Ravens

[gmf1369]

No consistency on offense. A no-name defense. And the New York Jets still found a way to win on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, beating the Miami Dolphins 22-21.

Good for them -- they showed a lot of pluck and received a huge break on a pass interference replay review -- but the celebration won't last long. In four days, this deeply flawed and injury-riddled team will face the Baltimore Ravens (11-2) on the road. On paper, it looks like one of the most lopsided games of the NFL season.

Heart can help you beat the lowly Dolphins (3-11), but it won't stop a dynamic quarterback in Lamar Jackson. If the Jets (5-8) let Ryan Fitzpatrick rush for 65 yards, what will happen against Jackson?

Oh, my.

The Jets have some major issues, but at least they avoided the embarrassment of being swept by the Dolphins. Coach Adam Gase avoided the indignity of becoming the first coach in NFL history to go 0-2 against the team he coached the previous season. He received two gifts -- a replay reversal on defensive pass interference with 43 seconds to play, which set up Sam Ficken's 44-yard field goal to win it as time ran out.

How to contain Lamar Jackson, will be Gregg Williams problem on a short week.

Ahhh he's a hard worker that @gmf1369

Imagine what Jackson will do. Scary.

Fitz was running circles around he D today.

This is going to be a blood bath! Expect several turnovers by the offense and the defense being gassed by the 2nd quarter.

We knew when he was drafted that he was a better runner than passer. His running ability hasn't decreased but, his passing game has gotten better. He gives new meaning to duo threat QB. I'm not sure I even want to watch this game.

 

[joeuser]

I'm with you guys!

He was a very good passer coming out. Everyone just bought into the pre draft hype. No one would look at his passing ability vs his running abilities. He was better than Josh Allen and every bit as good a passer as Darnold, vs much Better competition with lesser weapons. His offense didn't give him much opportunity but he could throw a 50 yard completion with a flick of his wrist. Yet he supposedly had a weak arm...

 

[TonyFtLaud]

I'd like to predict a triple digit loss but I'll go with double digits.
Fully expect Williams to load the box and try to contain Jackson and to see him shred the back end and still manage to make a few plays with his legs.
As far as the offense, I think Miss Muir will be lonely on Thursday night.

 

[gmf1369]

short week, we are banged up all over the board

but intrigued what our front 7 can do, this is a true test to see what we have to build with moving forward...

don't care win or lose, just want to see if we can play somewhat disciplined...

Jets + 14 1/2

Not enough

Good news. The Patriots lost again. Now we don't have to go easy on the Ravens.

Bills blew the opportunity to possibly steal the Division from them yesterday.

 

[munchmemory]

Other than a better draft pick, this is another year where not really much matters. Just another game where we hope the team won't get embarrassed against an actual top level opponent. And that once again--if all goes our way from here on out-we get to 8-8 or worse. So many years of crap season records....so much mediocrity and incompetence. So many years of accepting this fate and trying to convince younger fans, or the delusional, that we're not the SOJ.

I think the Bengals took care of that

Give blindfolds to the wimmins and chilluns. Better, yet, keep them away from the TV.
Later

 

[TebowCan'tThrow]

I think the Bengals took care of that

And the Pats twice.

Believe it or not, that might still happen if the Bills win their remaining three games (Steelers, Cheats, Jets).

Only if NE loses another game. They have the tiebreaker over the Bills. Possible but unlikely that the pats finnish 1-2. I don't see them losing to the Dolphins or Bengals.

I didn't buy into the pre-draft hype. I knew he could pass but his passing game has even improved since then. He can beat you many ways. This game will be so one sided that I might not even watch. I may have already said that but it was worth saying again. It would be a tough game even if we had all of our starters healthy and in the game which of course we don't so there is little hope that we won't be thoroughly trounced.
