3 weeks in a row

They just cant close out what are very winnable games! If the games only lasted 2 quarters they'd be flying it!!

Bowles is doing a phenomenal job imo given the dearth of talent on the roster

Great win!

Really good to see the D line getting the stats the last couple of games and did well keeping a tricky combo of McCoy and TT quiet after a couple of early scrambles. First game this year it felt like our running game was really a weapon and not just propping up McCown?

Bowles and the FO deserve a lot of praise tbf, the atmosphere seems a lot better around the team.

Whatever our results are from now the season is a positive imo, cut away a lot of the excess & some young guys stepping up and enough results for it not to be an embarrassing rebuild season.

I would really like to see us cut down on penalties for the rest of the season, I think I heard we're most penalised in the league? Even when we were well ahead yesterday we were giving away some needless stuff.

Super happy with performance against the Bills and the effort in general this season despite the close losses. Definitely seems to be good building blocks for the future. The only question remains who is going to be the QB of the future. Not sure who it will be but if they can getc it right there could be fun seasons ahead!

Jesus, that was ugly!! O-line was all sorts of bad, never gave McCown or the run game a chance. D done a good job, considering the amount of time they had to spend on the field!

Last night was the most entertaining Jets game in a long time and it was get to come out with a win at the end. I know people feel it hurts our draft position but it is impossible not to enjoy that win. There seems to be some positive building blocks for the future and if the front office can avoid repeating mistakes of the past play offs are a realistic aim for next season. The order of priority for free agency/draft should be as follows QB CB OL LB. I don't think there should be a change of coach. It feels good to be optimistic about the Jets for a change!

Oh, also the only coaching questions from last night is surely on the D side, no way you can continually provide 0 safety cover against one of the quickest players in the league and one of the best TEs, completely open on 1-to-1 coverage each time.

The left/centre side of the O Line is in desperate need of support imo, all the pressure same through there and a couple of hits too.

Delighted with the win, Robby balling out again, team showing a bit of discipline and coming from behind to chase down a lead instead of the opposite for once.

And a bit of refereeing in our favour for once!

Totally agree with this as well, Johnson is just not up to being a starting centre. I had thought at the start of the season he had a chance to be decent, but he's been bad!

McCown named as starter the rest of the season. He's been great and at the same time the two behind him are never going to be the answer.

Unfortunately not any more, I wonder will Hack be given plays or will it just be Petty thrown to the wolves? He looked woeful last night.

Last night was one of the most pathetic displays I've ever seen from the Jets.

So limp, sh/te all over but again the amount of pressure coming straight up the middle was unreal. Josh had a woeful game but I felt sorry for him at points, getting touched every play nearly. Penalties were back with a vengeance too, I'm not sure how that doesn't get better over the course of a season.

starts and ends with the coach in my opinion

NY Media think Bowles deserves another year but I don't. His road record is atrocious and I'm fed up of his boring personality. He's so monotone.

He has won 7 out of 22 road games as HC, 2 against the Browns, 1 on neutral ground in London, 1 in Metlife against the Giants, against the 49ers, Bills and Colts. doesnt make for great reading!

the last 2 minutes of the first half last night was some of the most gutless head coaching I've seen in a long time

Do you think we should get rid in the off-season so? Would make as much sense to drop him now if that's the case? I'm no Bowles fan but somehow he's squeezed more out of the team this year than expected. He seems to really struggle with the fundamentals like clock management and penalties but the hard stuff like creating a decent team spirit/morale and actually getting players to perform, by and large, I think he's done alright.

Mo Wilkerson is healthy scratch this weekend, I think its fairly safe to say he wont be a Jet next season!

He's been a complete tool since the contract. Any idea what we'd get for him?

Assuming we go QB in the first next year I wouldn't be opposed to going some combination of edge, CB & Dline the following 3 picks. All in the first 3 rounds means we should be looking at 3/4 starters out of those.
