“On the cusp”
- Year 2 and you’re 2-7
- This week you’re 9 point dogs at home
- You just got blown out in your last game, and the team is objectively trending down, not up
- You’re a defensive guy and the defense is bottom 3 in the league, now two years in a row
Glenn says the Jets are "on the cusp." On why they were relatively quiet at the trade deadline:
"Listen, we're not going to hide from the fact that we're 2-7. We own that, but, man, we're still working our asses off to make sure we fix that. We feel like we like the players that we have in the building to be able to help us do that.
"When you look at the seven losses, and this is just the facts -- five of the teams (are) playoff-caliber teams. I think five of them were one-score games. I think two (of the losses were) three points, one five-point and two seven points."
The Jets have played the 23rd hardest schedule, per ESPN analytics. #Jets

If true...
"Let's decline a good offer for more draft capital so we can keep a guy who our historically bad coaching staff barely plays to give them a chance to MAYBE get to 5 wins this year instead of 3"
is truly an all-timer here #JetsBeingJets
Jaguars made “significant” offer for Jets EDGE Will McDonald before their trades on Monday, per @AlbertBreer.

Pairing a rising offensive mind with the QB you are going to draft in the top 10 to play in an offense that has very few holes 🤔

I have seen a lot in my life with the Jets, but the way *this staff* finds ways to lose games is unmatched
The glass half full of it is the roster is better than the results (and pretty young)
The glass half empty of it is literally watching it play out every week
The #Jets are celebrating like they won the SB for kicking another red zone field goal when they clammed up and got conservative yet again.
Tells you everything you need to know about this coaching staff.
Be aggressive and try to score touchdowns.

If I saw these stats in a vacuum, I'd assume the #Jets were probably 4-3.
#Jets are 8th in AFC in point differential and have 4 one possession losses (including one in overtime), which again points to coaching in many ways.
#Jets Stat Pack
Geno Smith: 145/207, 70%, 1,623 yards, 7.8 YPC, 10 TDs, 2 INTs
Braelon Allen: 91 carries, 418 yards, 2 TDs, 15 catches, 75 yards
Omar Cooper: 13 targets, 12 receptions, 248 yards (20.8 YPC), 2 TDs
Garrett Wilson: 51 targets, 37 receptions, 444 yards, 3 TDs
Kenyon Sadiq: 25 targets, 16 receptions, 164 yards, 2 TDs (1 rushing)
Mason Taylor: 18 targets, 14 receptions, 117 yards, 2 TDs

David Bailey: 5.5 sacks, 1 PD, 3 FFs
Kinglsey Enagbare: 2.5 sacks, 1 FF, 4.5 TFLs
#Jets with 1 interception on season (Fitzpatrick)
#Jets with 14 TDs in 7 games: Garret (3x), Allen (2x), Cooper (2x), Sadiq (2x), Taylor (2x), Breece, Williams, Ruckert...zero defensive or special teams TDs.
This makes being 2-5 even more frustrating.
Just will never translate to wins if you get out-coached week in and week out and consistently lose in the margins.
I know Jets fans are angry right now — but it should be said that this year’s rookie class is panning out already in a really fun way.
David Bailey: 5.5 sacks, 9 QB hits, 3 forced fumbles in seven games
Kenyon Sadiq: 2 TDs, 100-yard game, talented enough that fans are already mad he’s not getting the ball more
Omar Cooper: Back to back 100-yard/TD games. Looks like the real deal.
Darrell Jackson: Already looking like a good find on Day 3. Should play more depending on how long Sweat is out.
D’Angelo Ponds is going to see his role increase. He’s learning nickel on the job so expect some bumps — but the talent is there if he can figure out a new position on the fly.

Every defense in the NFL comes into games knowing the other team wants to get their ball to their best player, and almost every team still finds ways to get the ball to their best player.
Except the Jets.
Reich has no answers.
"Hats off to them for the game plan they had, but for us as an offense but we want to make sure we give 5 the ball as many times as we can."

DFJ bottom lines it. Pretty much this simple.
NFL is probably the only league where coaching makes a significant difference between winning and losing
#Jets have been at a disadvantage for over 10 years

Once again the bar wasn’t high coming into the year. Just be a punchy, competitive ~7 win team, show some signs, stay in the hunt & don’t be embarrassing. And once again the #Jets can’t even clear that bar.
Another season over before Halloween.
Indefensible and irredeemable loss from the Jets. Defense was ill-prepared and tackled poorly. Offense continues to be dreadful in short yardage. Major penalties in all three phases.
Conversations will get serious in New York.

The #Jets don’t use any time outs to give themselves a chance to get the ball back, can’t tackle, got abused upfront the entire first half, are the only team in the NFL who can’t get their best player the football, are getting blown out at home.
While playing the 0-5 Dolphins.

The #Jets just can’t stop puking themselves. Somehow simultaneously out played the Pats and are getting blown out at the same time.

Tim Patrick Was Called For Offensive Pass Interference On This Play That Took Away An Omar Cooper Jr. Touchdown For The Jets.
One Of The Worst Calls I’ve Ever Seen.
Horrible Call. 😬
I tend to give my fellow #Jets fans some grace because I too am an emotional fan and we’ve been through nothing but misery.
But all of you sad sack loser fans ripping Bailey 4 games into his career can kick rocks with bare feet. Single handedly carried them to a win today.

You just knew a phantom PI that kept the drive alive would result in a touchdown later.
#Jets on the cusp of another incredible loss to end their season

Jumping offsides on 2 separate hard counts w/ 1 second on the play clock on 3rd down, with the game (sort of) on the line is genuinely impressive.
#Jets out-schemed badly & poorly coached today, among many other issues. Massive step back.
