    Yeah I feel like a lot of these guys are so tuned in to everything that gets said about them on social media. I don't like this dynamic at all but can only hope it's motivating. However I worry it's more likely distracting and destructive than constructive

    To be fair about Sam and the Panthers; that franchise makes the JETS look like a well oiled machine....

    Yeah some INTs would be nice but stats overrated if they dont throw inhis direction (which is fine by me..... if they let him travel the #1 like Revis did)

    In Carolina, they lost McCaffrey after three games and had very little else in terms of offense. Darnold is not the kind of QB that can carry a team, but even as a Jet, did very well when he had a full roster to play with.

    I think I would rather he took the other team's top WR out of the game, forcing the QB to go to #2, #3 options. However, this year, they appear to be rotating him from receiver to receiver so the other team can't plan a strategy. I'm not sure I agree with that. I think if you can nullify a guy like Jefferson for the entire game, you should have a big advantage on D.

    Sauce
    G.Wilson
    Breece Hall

    They looked good on a bad team where all the blame was on Zach. Now there is no Zach and these guys are underperforming. True mistery.

    Yes Saleh sucks, Hack sucks but these guys play well under their brand level.

    Honestly, I will sour on them big time if we end up losing next 3 games and they don’t perform.

    Fix the 0-line and things will vastly improve .

    I felt sick to my stomach watching the all-22... the D-line wasn't much better. :mad:

    Win 1 of the next 3 games and we are probably still playoff bound. Really need that Bills game the most but get to 3-4 heading to New England is a minimum.

    I think Justin Jefferson might take Sauce's lunch money on Sunday.

    This might be a hot take but I'm okay leaving Sauce with JJ the entire game and just letting JJ have his 7/90/1. Use the other 10 guys to figure out the rest of the Vikings O. Similar to basketball where you just know a player is going to get his 40/10/5 but don't let anyone else beat you.

    I'm good with that. It keeps them from just being able to audible runs to Sauce's zone.

    I changed my vote.
    I think they'll be motivated this week.
    The 3-1 Bills play the 3-1 Texans.
    If the Texans win and the Jets win the Jets will be tied for 1st in the East.

    Hahaha, who am I kidding. They'll play like 22 strangers meeting for the first time.
    I really did change my vote though .

    I bet they hit all the tourist spots. Piccadilly Circus reminded me a lot of NY. They'll only need perhaps an hour to prep for the game given how simplistic the Jet systems are on both sides of the ball.

    The bi-polar schitzo persona of the JETS..... they lose games they should win, and probably win this because they should probably lose (and I'm just hoping they don't ruin sunday morning... versus the afternoon)
