Incredibly bittersweet, heavy on the bitter. I never thought I’d feel as gutted as this after a Jets win in 13 years of supporting them.

The only silver lining about the qb is that he isn’t turning it over - and he probably got away with that circus act in the first quarter - but he needs to show something. I am dreading this week’s game.

Mike La Fleur and whoever is responsible for the rushing play designs has shown enough over the last few weeks that there is still grounds for optimism there, but I can’t see how the qb can be trusted against a Patriots defence, nor will they be able to win with passing lines like the ones he’s been putting up in the last three games.

Ahmad in Arabic means “the [one who is the] most praised”, so the boy is definitely living up to his name. Reed is also having a superb season.

Denver has an awesome defense. Jets gutted that win out and showed a lot of mental fortitude. Next up, Zack and Lafleur against a defensive genius. We will learn a lot about where Zack is at in that game and what our offense actually can do since, sadly, we won’t have Breece or AVT to lean on.

Zach Wilson played poorly but -

-he was under duress. We need to block for him.

-so many penalties pushed us into 3rd and long

-most QB's were terrible against the Denver D

-avoided turnovers for 3 games, that's huge

-he was houdini in avoiding the rush. Eventually it'll catch up to him. We need to block

-despite the long Breece TD, it looked like we barely had any holes for Michael Carter. We must do better this week

We need him to settle in and get some rhythm

When does Fant and Mitchell get back? Maybe Fant can take over at RT.

Totally in synch with you - actually lost a tad of sleep. We have this great record and good team but a bit cncerned we dont have the QB yet. We will not get a top pick next year. Here comes Bellicheck who eats rookie QBs

If Hebertt hrew 50 times on the same defense and didnt get a TD then Wilson shouldbt be judged to harshly yet. He completed one year of games but last year no one was really on the team. I am concerned as he seems to get hyped up and canrt control himself with balls sailing. 5-2 and heading home for 2 big ones - who would jave thunk it !

Initially I thought it was a head injury for Hall. I still haven't seen a replay showing how the knee was injured. Hopefully it's a sprain or something.

I definitely concur with your comments regarding Hall, Sauce and Moore.

What I failed to understand was why Denver suddenly stopped their gang rushing of Zack at the end of the game when it had been so disruptive from the beginning. Could it be that the thin air wore down the home team?

Sorry in advance for this quibble but I am reasonably positive that Mimms got a reception of maybe 4 yards. I'm just pulling for a kid really trying to do things right.

It was tough to watch but having watched the Game in 40 replay this morning it was great to be able to appreciate that defensive performance.

Zach looked good in Pittsburgh but seems to have taken backward steps since then. Having said that for a lot of yesterday he was playing with a reshuffled line again against a top 5 D. Yes I’m making excuses but I still think he’s got what it takes, we just need to see more of it.

On we go…
