The game
started with a very good drive lead by Bryce (I’m not Richard) Petty. Mixing up
some nice runs and a pass to Bilal Powell, Petty then hit Robbie Anderson on a
deep pass over the middle that resulted in a 40-yard touchdown. Robbie Anderson
has been one of the few bright spots this year for the Jets. Playing part time
until the Decker injury, this undrafted rookie from Temple now has 38
receptions for 544 yards and 2 touchdowns. Imagine if he was playing full time
and had a quarterback that could lead him when he is open long? Before we get too excited about Petty,
keep in mind that 20 of his 36 attempts were thrown within 5 yards of the line
of scrimmage. On throws more than 5 or more yards downfield, Petty was 5-of-16,
108 yards with 2 INTs. Not stats that franchise QBs are built around but let’s
evaluate him after the next two games. There is no denying his toughness,
staying in the pocket till the last second but he still is throwing the ball
too high at open receivers. I know there were drops (5 total-2 by Brandon
Marshall) but he is not showing enough (yet) to think the Jet QB situation is
solved. When he was sacked at the end of the first quarter and lost the
football, he showed a lack of pocket presence. That was a huge turnover!
Jumping toward
the latter part of the second quarter, on a 3rd and 9, Matt Moore
hit Kenny Stills in stride just beating a Jets blitz burning Juston Burris
(#32) for a 52-yard TD. The Jets continued with their ever so popular theme,
make any quarterback they face look great! Matt Moore looked like Johnny Unitas
going 12-18, 236 yards and 4 TDs. It is so beyond belief how open the opposition’s receivers
are on every completion. Joe Danna is the Jets secondary coach and as I've said before, has to be held accountable for what the secondary is showing
us. The Jets closed out the scoring on a field goal by Folk going into the
locker room at half time down 13-10.
In the second
half, Juston Burris intercepted a pass. After a first down, the Jets went three
and out but not so fast. Lining up to punt the ball, the Jets were in a illegal
formation but the punt was blocked anyway and resulted in a Dolphin touchdown.
Of course TV missed the play live (no doubt the Kremlin was hacking U.S.
television broadcasts at the time) and it was as ugly as it gets. After that
play, the Jets almost to a man mailed it in. The Dolphin scored again and again
and it was one of those games you couldn’t wait to end. After three quarters
the Jets were down 34-10. With
5:47 to go in the game, Nick Folk hit a field call on a brilliant play call by
Todd Bowles. Final score Dolphins 34, Jets 13. Brant Boyer, the Jets special teams
coach also has to be held accountable. For the second time against the
Dolphins, a special teams gaff was the turning point of the game. Our special
teams stink.
How does Todd
Bowles put out a product like he does? How does his team come out in the second
half and just go through the motions? After the 49er game I was giving him too
much credit. He has to be replaced. He will never succeed as coach of the Jets.
I know that continuity is important but you also have to cut your losses sooner
than later. This franchise is in turmoil with personnel and cap issues. There
is no on field discipline with the most untimely penalties I have ever seen.
You have Sheldon Richardson tweeting out an obscene video before the game. All
Bowles can say after every game is :
“I have to do a better job coaching.”
I just don’t think he
is capable.
Green Tidbits:
….Linebacker
Jordan Jenkins (#48) continues to hit and hit hard…..How many times is Darron
Lee going to be burned with TD passes? He has got to show more on passing plays
even as a rookie….Leonard
Williams has pride. I’m glad he is a Jet…Petty not only is lacking pocket
presence but his internal clock must be stuck…Rontez Miles like Williams is
still playing hard….Jets have been blown out by 20 or more points 4 times this
season, 3 coming at prime time….If you see a helicopter flying near Met Life,
Todd Bowles should take notice….Big Jet mistake. Turning down a 2nd
rounder for Richardson from Dallas at trade deadline. Now lucky to get a 4th….Rumor
is some Jet fans saw Hackenberg at David & Busters. At basketball toss, he
was 3 of 13….Can we bench Darrelle Revis just out of principle?....More
depressing stuff. Pats offensive line average age is 25….I know this is a tough
season, but when you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet all the way! Hang in there fans!....
You may have seen this already, but if not have fun with it.
