No one cared that the Jets were injured for years. The schedule is what it is is we play them one at a time and it was "our" turn to not have to worry most of the game about winning - finally. Wet one to sit through though.
It feels like such a treat to see competent QB play from someone in a Jets shirt. He looked like a 10 year veteran, knowing exactly where to throw and nailing all of them without any fuss, in teeming rain!
Granted, there were a couple of plays that would have been picks on another day, but I’m well past apologising for Jets success. At the same time though, the defence would have also made some plays on another day that they didn’t yesterday.
Jets played in a monsoon, next week they play inside in Minnesota, a formidable team indeed. Mike White looks like the next Chad Pennington, throws a nice ball, promotes a lot of YAC, Jets have a lot of happy WR’s. The TE’s were effective in both the Running & Passing game.
The Jets have some depth at the Runningback position, kudos to both Bam Knight & Ty Johnson. We now have meaningful games in December.
So nice to see a QB move up and slide in the pocket and keep his eyes downfield. Wilson clueless in this regard and could not get ball to wide open receivers. If MW stays healthy we have a chance now to contend. No shot with boy blunder in charge.
MLF had a great game. He's so good when he gets blocking and competent QB play
When our OL opens run block holes, our rushing game gets going, and that seems to have a significant correlation with our offensive success. Can you pull the updated stats on this?
Also our QB play is so much better when the QB is rarely sacked and barely pressured.. Zach Wilson was under constant duress in some games and never got a rhythm. I assume there's also a high correlation of pass blocking with our offensive success.
Put them together, and it justifies the investments JD keeps making on the OL. Strong OL makes everything work!
Mike White is the answer…for now. I think the thing that struck me most yesterday was the reaction of the rest of the team when we scored, both to the scorer, particularly Elijah Moore, and of course to Mike White. I don’t think I’ve seen the team that hyped when we’ve scored all season. The team genuinely want to see Mike White succeed it seems. What that says about Zach’s relationship with them we can all decide for ourselves.
The opening drive was a joy to watch and suddenly you could see how this offence is supposed to work.
Minnesota next week will be a different matter, it may all come crashing down, it may not, but I feel that with the change of QB Saleh has steadied things and given the Jets a shot at seeing out the season on a high.
As for Zach, if MW puts in a string of performances as efficient as yesterday why would you put him back in ? Mike has grasped his chance and here’s hoping he keeps that starting spot, it’ll mean the Jets are winning.
Just think of how much of an emotional rollercoaster these 11 games have evoked. I feel like a shuttlecock which has been belted back and forth over the net but this Monday, I feel as though a gentle zephyr has come up behind our side of the court and it feels so energizing!!
Great wrapup. I was also thinking, ZW would drool for this situation.
No DL pressure, rushing game rocking, missing 3 from secondary and traded top LB.
Might have been the perfect get right game for ZW but he played so poorly that he lost his right to that opportunity. It's an ideal situation for any QB, but White maximized this opportunity.
I still think ZW can be a good QB when he has proper blocking. Perhaps one day he'll get another chance
It was an ideal QB opportunity and we saw White take advantage. So awesome to watch!
I'd love to see White take this confidence to the Minnesota and Buffalo matchup and crush it on prove the doubters that he's for real
David, always enjoy reading your analysis. You're accurate and concise. Looking forward to what you see for us versus the Vikes. I think we stand a very good chance to beat them if White and company can repeat the magic and the D can continue to do their thing. Blessings!

Worth every penny (or cent).
Thanks for all your efforts DWH.
Go Jets

Like our chances, Jets have some weapons, MW seems to utilize all of them, Defense gets a little rest with MW out there , complimentary football

Do you think the OL is improved compared to what White had last year? I think it's about the same.
LG AVT to Laken is similar
LT Fant to Brown is similar, maybe upgrade on run blocking, worse on pass blocking?
RG LDT to Herbig is similar, maybe slight upgrade?
C CMG is same
RT Moses to Max Mitchell is similar, maybe upgrade on pass blocking but slight downgrade on run blocking at this point?
Apologies to Ty Johnson, who I had "out the door", a great day.
It's very nice to have depth at the RB position, real depth.
Also it's another game of Corey Davis on the field with a strong running game. Our YPC seems like almost a full yard higher with him on field.
I'm looking forward to the stat pack to hear how Mitchell looked after forced back into the lineup. I was surprised he didn't start
