If you just look at that 27-17 final, it may not look that bad. Here's the reality: the Jets got one TD in garbage time with one minute to play. The other TD was a 69 yard play in which Darnold threw a 5 yard pass to Crowder, who slipped 2 tackles and burst clear for a freakish TD. The Jets easily could've finished with 3 points. Defensively? Buffalo was only 3 for 8 in the red zone. 8 red zone possessions? That is crazy. Buffalo could've topped 40 quite easily with a bit more efficiency in red zone. 20 MPH windy day and Jet secondary allowed Allen his biggest pass yardage of his career. Jax and Washington won. Carolina didn't look bad. Right now, I don't think anyone is worse than the Jets.
How bad are the Jets?

Browns would destroy the Jets. They faced a top 2-3 team in the entire league. Lost the TO battle and made a very unwise fake punt attempt early in the game and held Jackson to 45 rush yards. Yes, Mayfield looked terrible and still having passes deflected. But no comparison between the two, IMO.

Jets. Absolutely pathetic.
So 69 of the 215 was on the freak play, and another 40-50 on the garbage time drive. But that D has got real issues as well. EIGHT red zone possessions allowed?

On the other hand.
Josh Allen is still crap. Missed two wide open td's and fumbled twice.
The Bills simply beat an inferior opponent.
Doesnt look like Allen improved a bit

I dozed off, surprised the score was that close after Buffalo got that big lead.

I told Railbird that Darnold and Rosen were crap....Rail said the two QBs were the best of the draft....

Browns will be good once they take the ball out of bakers hands and go 65/35 run pass.
It worked in minny.
Jets have no chance.

Only Carson Wentz (14.2) played worse than Sam Darnold (19.3) in Week 1, according to QBR numbers.

Carson was running for his life...he got sacked 8 times behind the makeshift offensive line and played without Miles Sanders....
With most of week 2 in the books, IMO the Jets ARE definitively the worst team. Take a look at what they did today. They were playing a home game against a non divisional opponent, a game where the opponent is likely to overlook them. The Niners lost 4 key starters during today's game. Among them was last year's Rookie of the Year in Nick Bosa; QB Jimmy G was hurt in the first quarter on a sack and missed the entire 2nd half. Raheem Mostert, who scored on an 80 yard run on the first play of the game and also missed the entire second half. A 4th starter, Soloman Thomas also left with an injury. Despite this, the Jets still lose by 18 points. They now have trailed in 114 of the 120 minutes of play so far.

Wentz is a turnover machine--- Winson like proportion.
They convert like zero important 4th downs
Reich and Foles>>>>> Pederson and Wentz

SF-NYG next week may be worse than the SF-Jets this week. Giants did show some fight after Barkley went out.

Its going to be frightening on the eyes 49ers and Giants next weekend.
The Giants definitely a cut above the Jets. I thought the Giants weren't hopeless against the Steelers. They did put together a 90 yard drive against the Steeler D only to come away with no points when Jones got picked at the goal line. And today on the road, they were right there at the end. The Jets have trailed by double digits for most of their 120 minutes played.

10+ point dogs Sunday sure looks like 0-3 is in the cards

He's 100% correct. But I also wonder if they are tanking. Everyone knows Lawrence likely to go number 1 in next draft.

Jets are just gutless right now. Its not so much talent, just no drive at all. Feels like a coach that has lost the team. They are nowhere near as bad as the Dolphins were to start the season last year where they gave up every player they could, this Jets team has plenty of NFL talent around.

NBA Caught onto Tanking.
No Guarantee #1 Pick.
N.F.L. Might Catch on.
Sam Darnold a Bust ?

They Also Layed out The Big Money For Free Agent RB Le 'veon Bell.
RB is The Worst Position To Pay out The Big Money.
Majority Have Short Career Span.

They got a tough break when L Bell got hurt. I suspect he’s not the best locker room guy. They could have moved him .

Putting money or a high draft pick into a running back is pure stupidity in the modern game. Giants and Jets are proving that the two franchises are just dumb as nails and figure the fanbase ain't going to do a goddamn thing about it. Season ticket waitlist will continue on for generations.

Someone - forget who - pointed me to this site. They had something for every team to start 4-0 or 0-4. Jets were +400 to start 0-4 and I figured it would rest on the 4th game at which point I could always hedge slightly. With Lock hurt and most likely OUT who knows what the line will be? My guess is no more than -3 either way but maybe closer?

Gase has a rep because Peyton liked him and recommended him. Why? Because Gase let Peyton be his own OC, same as he was in Indy. Gase deserves no credit for Peyton's great year in Denver. Watching A Gase Presser brings memories of Ray Handley, a guy who could not deal with the media at all, especially the NY media.

Gase and Darnold deserve each other....both way, way overrated....

I think the defending champs coach might qualify, but he's a dying breed. I think in general its a bad idea for any HC to also be the coordinator or play caller on either side of the ball. I'm sure that's why Fangio is so terrible with timeouts right now, its the last thing he's thinking about when he's trying to get his D ready for a play near the end of a game.
