Zach Wilson's Poor Play has Robert Saleh Running Routes to Protect Him

 A year ago when Zach Wilson was coming off a horrible effort against the New England Patriots, in a game the Jets lost 10-3, he was asked whether he felt responsible for the loss. He pleaded the fifth, saying emphatically "no."

That moment was enough to get Wilson benched and lead us down the road of Mike White mania, which started and stumbled to a 7-10 finish. The Jets then decided that Wilson still wasn't good enough to be the starter, so they made a full court press to acquire Aaron Rodgers, which they did. 


 Now that Rodgers is out for the year, barring a miraculous medical comeback, the Jets have found a way to keep themselves in the playoff mix, but Wilson and this Jets offense continues to stink it up. 

It all came to a head on Monday night when the Jets managed only six points in a 27-6 sleepwalk against the LA Chargers at MetLife Stadium. The Jets went from potential playoff darling to starring into the abyss of another lost year. 

When challenged by the media as to why the Jets won't make a quarterback change now, head coach Robert Saleh is now pleading the fifth. He said the team has no intention of playing Tim Boyle or Trevor Siemien, and went out of his way to say the front office isn't holding his feet to the fire to play Zach Wilson. 

IF that is true, than what gives? 

If Aaron Rodgers is indeed coming back, than the Jets need to be prepared to make a move at quarterback and bench Wilson. This is not to say that Tim Boyle is going to light up the Raiders if he comes in on Sunday, but at least let's see if he can move this offense. 

Sure there is plenty of blame to go around. The offensive line is a mess. Nobody can catch or hold onto the football. C.J. Uzomah, we are looking at you, bud. 

The play calling by Nathainel Hacket has been both conservative, and lacks any razzle dazzle. In fact he refuses to get others involved much at all, especially speedsters like Michael Carter, Dalvin Cook and Isreal Abinakanda. 

It's terrible. The Jets are 4-4. This is a huge game in Las Vegas. People like myself are flying out to Vegas to see this thing.  If the Jets are going to beat the Raiders, they need more than their defense to bail them out as has been the case all year. 

Wake up Robert, be prepared to make the change happen to save this team and this season.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
