New York Jets Thread

Deadline passed and only Williams traded. Seemingly Cowboys and Ravens were serious about Adam's but wouldn't pay price Jets were asking.

Bell's video is perfect, didn't think it would be him being the team guy and Adams with the dodgy posts... Can't really blame him but hopefully Bell can rally the troops.

In the future when sports writers recall the 10 Most Embarrassing Moments In NY Jets History... the entire 2019 season might make the top of the list.

Definitely!! The **** hitting the fan today again after a press conference by Adams. He is definitely being a diva about it but some blame has to go to the Jets for being the only organisation to conduct all their deadline business in public. Too many leaks from the organisation and not too difficult to figure out where they are coming from when Adams is getting killed by the Jets beat writers and Joe Douglas being lavished with praise.

This was literally the only good thing about Mike Maccagnan, very little got out of the front office

Really childish behaviour from Adams, I've absolutely no problem with teams answering a phone call, the better players on struggling teams are always going to draw interest. I'm sure if the Jets were actively shopping him, they would have done it long before the last 2 hours of the trade window, and while Adams is a good player comparing himself to a 2 time DPOY and Tom Brady is laughable

Why is Bilal Powell in getting carries? Something wrong with Bell?

(Following on Gamecast, the reddit's useless today)

Im not usually a fan of calling for a coach to be fired in their first season but Gase has to go. This is easily the worst run of Jets performances I've witnessed since the Koite era! Darnold is regressing, Bell's skillset is basically being ignored, they're committing penalties at an even higher rate than they did under Bowles (which I didnt think was possible) and its nearly guaranteed that he'll take zero blame for that game today in his presser

Yeah f*ck it that game has turned me. That was that bad last night that you'd nearly go full madden rebuild mode. Compare us with Miami, and for the first game in a while we clearly have more talented individuals on the pitch, and yet there was never a fear of us winning that game.

Is there something that falls below 'rock bottom?'

How do you lose to a team that does not want to win?

Trumaine Johnson gone for the rest of the season, and probably for good. What a bust, how can someone signed for such major $$ be pretty much a complete failure from day one. I suppose Johnson did make a few plays, but for the kind of money he got, a lot more was due.

Be a long time before this train-wreck of a team is watchable again.

tru off the field is no loss, would love to know if there's any way possible to ditch that waste of space.

Well, the 1st quarter for the Giants is entertaining for Jets fans. 2 TD's, a 4th down conversion, 2 completions by Darnold with defenders wrapped around him, including 1 for a TD with a nifty jig by Crowder to get into the end zone.

Still early. Still the Jets.

Wins a win, defense stepped up. That late 'incomplete forward pass' by Jones should've been a fumble imo, game would've been over earlier.

No running game. Not much O-line still. Long slog ahead.

Great first quarter for the Jets offense, the Giants defense adjusted accordingly and the offense has been anaemic since. Its almost like Gase doesn't have a plan b, very similar story to last week

It was a bit strange, started with lots of nice short sharp stuff, and then Q2/3 I don't think we attempted anything less than 10/15 yard passes. One refreshing thing to see was TEs being used more creatively, Wesco had a coupple of nice impact blocks (and a bit of a bizarre carry), Herndon back is nice.

We're going to be Jets with a capital J and get enough wins to scupper any draft value.

Think we end with 4 wins which should have us picking in the top 10. I think the Redskins and Bengals and Dolphins are all beatable but we will probably find a way to lose one of those. Any team with a pass rush will trouble the Jets. The biggest danger is Sam getting hot and winning 2 more which would bring us to 6 wins and probably picking in 10-12 range. Not as concerned about draft position as what position it is used on. Should be good O line available at that point. A lot will depend on free agency.

Herndon onto the IR for the rest of the season, fractured rib. Guard Brian Winters gone, too.

When a team is bad, everyone can't wait to get on the injured list. Why play hurt when there's no playoff payoff possibility?

Pretty sure Winters has been playing with his shoulder hanging off since the pre season. Probably the reason he's been even sh1tter than normal!
