Jets Get F-Grade in Sloppy Effort Against 1st Place Patriots

 The New York Jets didn't make the grade in Foxborough, Massachusetts either on Thursday. New York was grounded by their arch rivals 27-14 on Thursday night as the Jets failed to extend their two-game winning streak, dropping to 2-8. 

The Jets opened the game with a beautiful 14-play, 72-yard drive that featured a mix of runs by Breece hall, Isiah Davis and Justin Fields. Fields would score the games first touchdown on a seven-yard scamper, but that was it for New York. 

Mental mistakes spelled doom for the Jets the rest of the night. The Jets were flagged seven times, many of them for silly mistakes that cost the team dearly in field position. 

Jarvis Brownlee had a nightmare of a game, getting flagged multiple times, and even missed a tackle on DeMaryo Douglas in the fourth quarter on a play where Douglas initially gave himself up at the Patriots own 40, got up and gained 16 more yards. 

Give Brownlee credit, he faced the media and fessed up to the bad game. 

"Not up to our standard. All the miscommunication out there, guys not on the same page. Ain't got nothing to do with the coaching staff ... (It's) the guys on the field. We got to get that shit right."

He wasn't the only one. Brendon Stephens had a rough night as he was called for a illegal contact that whipped away a Quincy Williams sack. 


 

And newest Jets Adonai Mitchell had a rough night, dropping two huge passes that could have helped the Jets offense move. 

Justin Fields finished with 116-yards passing as he failed to move the Jets consistently. 

The loss to the Patriots is the 25th by New York since the Jets won a playoff game against the Patriots back in 2011. Ironically that was the last playoff win for the Jets since.

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...
