Ok I was at the BF game...…..But I got to say this one is worse. How within seven years can you have two such plays by the same team on a big tv game.....only the Jets
Ok I will be the first....look someone had to do it? Butt Fumble or Ghosts...which is worse
- Thread starter butterscotch
- Start date
Both were debacles. Gun to my head (please after last night's travesty), I'd say the buttfumble game is worse. Why? It was friggin Thanksgiving with everyone tuned in to watch after eating all day. Made my reflux issues flare up uncontrollably. Plus, our QB went inadvertently into the 69 position with his O Lineman. In my book, that seals the deal for worst.
Too soon to say.
Darnold could overcome it and it ends up on the NFL films Darnold Documentary as a hiccup in a long successful career, or it could be his epitaph

Luckily for Jets fans, Sam Darnold isn’t the only quarterback ever to see “ghosts.”
“That’s a term that (former Packers coach) Mike Holmgren would say to me quite often, my first one, two, three years with the Packers,” NFL legend Brett Favre said Tuesday on SiriusXM NFL Radio, according to Pro Football Talk. “It’s not a new term.”
“Seeing ghosts,” as a mic’d up Darnold said on the sidelines during the Jets 33-0 loss to the Patriots, refers to feeling defenders coming when they aren’t.
It’s the product of dominant defenses like the Pats, and leads to quarterbacks getting flustered in the pocket and making bad decisions.
Darnold threw four interceptions, and was 11-of-32 for just 86 yards in the embarrassing loss.
“It’s really nothing other than being a young player,” Favre continued of the second-year quarterback. “Being exposed to a lot of stuff, and really not so much thrown to the wolves — I don’t think (Jets head coach) Adam Gase did anything wrong. You’ve got to go in and play.
“You’ve got to go with all your guns blazing, and if he makes mistakes, he makes mistakes. The key is that you learn from them, and you’re going to make more. . . Over time, the thought is that you see less and less, and you become very familiar with your offense, and I think that’s something that’s often overlooked. I mean, this is a new offense to him, and it’s not to Tom Brady and (Patriots offensive coordinator) Josh McDaniels.”
IT happens to every QB that faces that kind of relentless pressure....
