The safety is just a football play. Our line got beat and he held onto the ball for an eternity. The first and third plays were football disgraces.
Breece Hall was standing wide open 5 yards down the field for that sack. That was not just a "football play".
Has to be the check down on 4th & 10. It's the epitome of his terminal inability to comprehend what is in front of him and the game situation. That said, I'd like to give honorable mention to (was it the very first play of the game?) when he audibled a run into the overloaded side of the line. That foreshadowed what was to come.
You forgot play #4 where Zach audibles directly into an overloaded box to the right side and causes a 4 yard loss.
Eh I mean he got safetied. It’s a bad play but he’s not the first and won’t be the last to miss an open receiver. I’ve never seen a guy just fall down in the pocket like that and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a two yard flat route in man coverage to the tightend on 4th and 10. Especially on a potential game winning drive. That was wild.
This. Throw it downfield. Either we don't complete it and it's whatever or we do and awesome. Check down was low risk, no reward. Also, when he audibles, he was saying "Red rover, red rover." I was like, please tell me Red Rover doesn't stand for Run Right. That'd be too obvious. It did and it was. Whoever came up with audible names like that should be coaching middle school kids at best.

I feel like its safe to say this 2023 Jets has to at least be in the discussion for worst start to a year a pro football team has ever had. Especially for one that was built to at least contend for a Super Bowl. Short of the team plane crashing or other actual real tragedy I'm not sure how it could have gone a whole lot worse so far. Super Bowl run to muntiny in 15 days. What a damn disaster.
All 3 are horrible but check down with game on the line is the worst. Like move around, try to get someone open, Chuck it down the field, my god….
The first two options set the Jets game back - the one yard pass on fourth and ten flushed it forever down the toilet.
A check-down to a covered wide receiver on 4th and 10 is the worst (why is there even a check-down route on that play-call?). But honorable mention does have to go to when he felt pressure and ran towards the pressure rather than away from it- if he'd ran away he could've hit a wide open Garrett Wilson.
It's a tossup between sacking himself and the 4th down checkdown. I guess I'll have to go with him sacking himself. At least with the checkdown, he put it in someone else's hands who, I guess theoretically, could have done something with the ball and gotten a 1st down (Yeah, I know, who are we kidding on that). But there was no chance when he just gave up and took a quick nap on the field.
