As far as Ryan
Fitzpatrick, he was beyond bad. His line was 20-44, 188 yards, 6 INT.
Even on some of his completions he was throwing behind the
receivers. Robby Anderson had a nice 26-yard reception but if you look at that
play close, you’ll see that Anderson was ahead of the defender and had to wait
for the ball. That play should have been a touchdown. He was throwing behind his receivers against the Bengals also.
After his 5th interception today, I could not believe Bowles kept
him in. This tells you how much confidence he has in Geno Smith. Now this is
not in defense of Fitz but when Alex Smith (25-33, 237 yds.,1 TD) was throwing
to his receivers they were open by 1-4 yards. It looked like the Jet receivers
were covered all day. Still this is no excuse for Fitzpatrick. He also tends to
lock on to his receivers at times. Giving the opponents this advantage to read
the QB’s eyes will get the ball tipped and intercepted or both as we saw today.
There is still a lot of football left in the season. Fitz has got to step up
starting this week.
I’m not sure
why Chan Gailey did not run the ball inside the Red Zone (remember 1st
& goal from the 6 yard line).
Forte was running fairly well. Give him the ball on first down.
And our screen pass must be easy to read. The Chief defender
ran right by Nick Mangold on one of the screens and we got a 4-5 yards loss.
On defense,
I’m not one to give them a break. You can say the defense only gave up 10
points but they made the Chiefs look unstoppable at times. The Chiefs seemed to
make every important 3rd down play in the first half. Do we have anyone
who can cover a tight end? David Harris can’t! Calvin Pryor can’t! Chiefs tight
end Travis Kelce (6 rec. 89 yds. 1TD) looked like all world! The Chiefs seemed to run crossing
routes and slants over the middle at will. And how many times are we going to
see that bubble play (or WR screen) go for positive yardage? Hey Coach Bowles,
here is a scouting report. Moving forward, every team the Jets play will try
that wide receiver screen. Let’s practice defending ti.
I like wide
receiver Jalin Marshall’s talent and potential. I said it before, I don’t like
him returning the ball on kick offs or punts. I don’t like the way he fields
punts, catching the ball moving backwards most of the time. And I don’t like
the way he holds the ball on kick offs. I’m not sure who we have but we have
got to get someone who can be a return man. Otherwise we will see more of what
we saw today with him fumbling on a return that was converted into a touchdown.
Muhammad
Wilkerson has got to step it up. He is playing only average. He has a lot more than average talent.
The Jets aren’t paying him like an average player. He had 1 ½ sacks in the
Bengal game but since then has not stood out. The Jets need him to make some
game changing plays.
The Jets
number one draft pick Darron Lee is getting better with each game. He got
caught up on the Kelce touchdown. But besides that this kid is making plays. And
he is looking quick doing it. In the beginning of the season the Jets spoke
about using him only on passing plays but it is obvious that Lee is a player.
He’ll make mistakes especially on passing plays but he should play most of the game. The Jets defense needs his speed out there.
No loss is
easy but going into this game the Jets had a chance to make a statement to the
other teams in their division but this was not to happen. They still have a
good shot to turn it around. The Jets have got to win the next game against
Seattle.
Green Tidbits:
….We must get Robby Anderson more
reps….Good to see LB Jordan Jenkins make his NFL debut….Lorenzo Mauldin got his
second untimely penalty two weeks in a row….I usually don’t complain about refs
but the Jets got jobbed on 3 plays. Powell’s fumble-he was down. On Kelce TD, there
was an obvious illegal procedure that should have killed the play. On
Marshall’s one-handed catch. He was in bounds….As bad as the Jets and Fitz
were, they still had a chance to win with 8+ minutes left in the game…Enunwa
continues to show his toughness getting whacked on a few receptions….Worse game
I saw free safety Marcus Gilchrist play as a Jet….It’s becoming more obvious
the Jets will draft another QB in 2017.... Fan Comments:
Dan D. Jets & Fitzpatrick Stumble 24-3!":
Marty, disagree on the Marshall 'TD' - he looked clearly OB to me, and the fact that he didn't argue sealed it for me - you KNOW he would have said something if he felt her was inbounds. And Pryor isn't really the issue on covering the TE - he can, but he can only cover one at a time. The Chiefs have several big, athletic TEs
and used them together a few times, meaning someone else has to be able to cover them. maybe Lee can, with time and experience. And Gailey's play calling was strange at times. He's usually a pretty creative guy - except at the goal line - and he seemed to have lost that today. Although being behind the entire game can certainly
cause you to change your initial game plan.

2 out of 3 games the QB fails the Jets. Thankfully he bet on himself and is only signed for 1 year. The Pats backup QBs have not thrown a pick. Fitz has 7 - so sad.
