    Yes, that appears to be a fck up and Mougey's first black marker. There's still 17 games to go so sit back, watch and see how things play out before making snap judgements.

    I hope you're right buddy. I've just seen too many GM's and too many coaches where I thought they were going to turn this all around and it just never happens. I know I'm probably being overly negative. Today was a fun game and they played better than I expected but they just always find ways to lose and that just beats you down after so long, you know?

    Against a potential divisional last-place Steelers team, I think people expected the Jets to WIN.

    They have to learn how to win.. That includes the CS.. It will come. Perhaps not tomorrow morning, but it will come.

    Check the poll.... Consensus was a Steeler win. Most were praying for a competitive game which is what this team delivered today.

    Probably should have kept DJ Reed. Not sure why we rolled with Gipson coming into this season. Hopefully one of the young players can take over return duties.

    Looking forward to seeing if Glenn can work out the bugs on his new team next week.

    Yeah and you know Lazard truly sucks if he is a healthy scratch over Gipson. Or Aaron Glenn is just a moron.

    Not sure why he's even on the roster. If they cut Corley because he was useless, why was Lazard kept? Answer must be for a veteran presence in the receiver room.

    Who knows but doing illogical stupid things is the Jets way even before Glenn got here, so im sure that won't change under him.

    in some ways yeah but also Buffalo can’t stop the run and that’s all we do now so it could be interesting

    Let's take another look at this by season's end. Things should be a lot clearer by then.

    Great. We are now supposed to celebrate failure.

    Yeah but you gotta admit when Xavier Gipson is your #3 receiver on your depth chart it looks like doom and gloom. Mougey really fed up here by not addressing this. The offense finally looks competent here and Justin Fields has very limited weapons and if he has to rely on running all the time he will get injured in no time and we are really f-ed

    Maybe we do, maybe we don't get throttled. We gotta play the game either way. If the Bills win late, no shame there either as they are a perennial contender while we are starting over. If we lose on another last second FG? That shit happens to a lot of teams who are not elite and the Jets are not elite YET. We get throttled? it would be a disappointment but again, nobody is expecting a win and just like this game, all we're asking for is for the team to play good football. The wins will come but it will take time. The Lions used to suck too.

    We supposed to look at what happened today, learn from it and move on to the next game instead of moaning and whining and bitching about it until 2026. The Jets played well for a first time unit. They really didn't even play together for extended time during the pre-season so today really was their first time in battle.

    I forgot Arian Smith was even on the team until he returned a kick late in the game. I hope he doesn't turn into the next Corley.

    When did Gipson become the #3 Wr? Again, there's no argument we need a true #2 guy. Mougey will address this in the offseason as its too late now. Unless JF really fcks up and we wind up in the running for a FQB, Mougey would be crazy not to draft the best WR available.

    32 points equaled the highest points we scored in a game (twice) last year.
    0-line looked good... 182 rushing yards... 394 total on offense.

    It was all good until Gipson put the ball on the ground.... :mad:

    We looked a lot better than most of the teams that played today.

    And some here want to kill the owner... :p

    Not sure what you're talking about. This franchise has had more actual victories than "moral" ones in last 15 years.
