I look at it this way, nobody thought Mike White could do jack shit at the beginning of the season and wanted to keep Morgan. Now we have a backup QB with his jersey in the HOF.
Bills legit said beat us deep if you can. They played right in these WR’s faces. Moore when they lined him up on White they jammed him on the outside. They blitzed up the middle and figured these WR’s couldn’t win. White made some bad passes too. Line struggled with the pressure. The Bills defense was tough. Some Of the misdirection worked but straight up, this team can’t hang.
It wouldn't have mattered who the QB was today. The receivers got no separation and the middle of the Oline collapsed repeatedly allowing the pocket to collapse before it even formed. The Bills' defense was markedly superior to the Jets offense.
Bills have a top defense, not sure why we are surprised. Those dudes are good. They covered good and play to their strengths.
White's getting knocked out of the game streak continues. He's the kind of backup that needs a backup. So re-add backup QB to our list of needs.
I think it was a smart move by the Jets to really see what they had in White. Franchise QBs can come from anywhere. Nothing wrong with turning over every stone. Additionally, it saved Zach from a beatdown against Buffalo. Now he gets to come in with an extra week of rest against a below average Dolphin team. It'll be nice to see what Zach can do with LaFleur up in the booth.
White got sacked once in the game. Yes he got hit but it not like he took a beating like Wilson getting sacked 6 times against the Panthers. That said, I'm glad White played because it was a no win situation for Wilson. The crowd would have been all over him because in their mind they would have thought they had Baby Brady on the bench. Going forward it shouldn't be so bad. I think he will still get booed when he plays poorly (or when the offense plays poorly) but I don't think people will be so eager to chant for Mike White and his 6% interception rate. I'd rather see Johnson if Zach come out. He throws a better deep ball and can hit those underneath throws as well. Don't want to see Flacco. We all know what we have with him.
