2nd drive ended in a punt. Zach just isn't getting the ball out quick enough. Can't do that on 3rd down. Also lucky not to get intercepted.

Needs to improve now, but I have little confidence he can.

Yeah he never got to that check down did he. Had all the time in the world as well.

As long as the Jets employ an OC who admits that he had no idea how fast Micah Parsons was, is not winning.

Unless the D or ST scores today, final Pats 13-3. The 3 is generous

I'm really intrigued to see what the gameplan is today. If they leave Billy Turner on an island with Judon at LT then a lot of hard questions needs to be asked.

This is such a key game and I feel a tad sick about it.

I have absolutely no faith in either Hackett or Zach. For Zach, especially today against Belichick. Yes, I understand about the weather conditions and throwing the football but the fact that Zach can’t process fast enough will be disastrous today.

Zach’s issues aren’t physical they are unfortunately mental. Thursday night Purdy, who has played in about 10-12 games played like a 10 year vet, he sees the field, no hesitation, ball is released before receiver is in his break. Zach has receivers open, but he is so slow to process, he wants the receivers opened more. This is the NFL not the WAC or Big Mountain or Little Big Horn league.

For the Jets to make the playoffs before the season started, three things were required

1) Rodgers plays the whole season

2) Brown plays as well as last year.

3) Zach never sees the field.

Lucky if they win 5-6 games this year and that is being ultra generous

It's going to be a big game for Zach. I've seen some real improvements in terms of some of the technical elements to his game, but it's going to be tested to the max today. Bill will load the box to stop the run and force Zach to beat him. Smart decisions, take care of the football and let's see what happens. I've not got a ton of confidence, but you never know...I agree about his processing, it's always been his issue. Jets can't coach scared today.

Hackett without Rodgers is like Gase without Manning,, so overmatched. Throw in the fact that this fan base has already had its fill with his father, who didn’t know a forward pass was permitted by the league, if Hackett decides to use the Turtle Offense, life for Hackett and Saleh will get pretty ugly around here by Monday.

Saleh liked talking about collecting receipts, it can really turn into a long collection line of fans fast.

The biggest question for me today is how the heck did JD with his background as an offensive lineman and his extensive back ground as a NFL executive come to the conclusion that going into a NFL season with not one but two projected starting OT’s attempting to return from serious injuries was a good idea? And this is not even the first time he’s done this. He made the same mistake last year so it not like this is anything new. With all the offseason excitement generated by the Aaron Rodgers acquisition the biggest question that kept popping up was “ how are the Jets gonna be able to protect him?”. Well the nay sayers must be thrilled as this has made them look pretty good. So much for the best laid plans...🤬

10-0 basically game is over. The number of empty seats, even in this weather isn't surprising.

On a separate thread, Mac Jones makes quarterbacking look so simple.

The decision to elevate Glaser is interesting. He was on the street until Friday, when he was signed to the Practice Squad. Then he gets elevated for the game today.

I get that we have OL injuries and need depth, but the Jets have three other OL on the PS, two of whom have been there since the roster was set, and the other one was on the 53 for part of last year.

Weird that Glaser went from on the street to the best OL on the PS over a 24 hour period.

I like him, actually - but it's not exactly a vote of confidence in the other three guys.

Definitely a strange one.

Greg Senat is still a FA as far as I'm aware and I'm surprised the Jets didn't call him considering he had a pretty good summer IMO.

Think I like him back on the street.

overlooking JD - he's experienced. Let him get pounded for 4 QTRs; maybe knock some sense into his bonehead.
