2-2 Baby YeeeeeHaaaaa! With Duane Brown possibly coming back for Miami can we dare to dream? If we can scrap out some wins like this while we heal and grow it could be pretty cool. I wasn’t that impressed with Green Bay and Denver either… Hahaha now I’m really getting ahead of myself! JET UP

I'm in a suite this week for the Dolphins and going to Green Bay next weekend. I am hoping for exciting , competitive games! Both teams appear to be better than us at this point. With Tua out we might get a win here and who knows? The O-line is patched up. Maybe Connor McDermitt catches another TD.......lol ZW is much better than the Old man standing there like the Statue of Liberty.

Go Jets!

ESPN has glowing pass blocking ratings for us but it looked like the play broke down quickly.

ZW was constantly flushed out of the pocket, coming into the 4th quarter. Or did he leave prematurely? Were receivers getting open?

For runs they were in the backfield constantly. Credit to MLF for mixing it up, kicking outside runs, play action fakes, etc. But that leads me to the iOL had trouble. (announcers left us wondering)

I didn't hear the announcers mention AVT playing LT even once. To me it was a huge storyline, since a key to the Steelers defense has always been pass rush. It not even sure they discussed McDermott the Jets 6th string OT playing RT.

So strange

Looking forward to tomorrow’s stats. After rewatching the game a 2nd time Connor McDermott is simply not very good at football. He was a human turnstile once again. Unfortunately, prior to his injury Max Mitchell was just as bad. Hopefully this is not a season ending injury for Mitchell. Yesterday aside he showed really good potential. Not sure where we are going with all these o-line moves but I would leave AVT at LT and Herbig at RG and assuming Mitchell is out I would play Fant at RT if or when he is able to return.

It’s the first time this season that I don’t the coaches called a bad game, barring the repeated delayed handoffs from shotgun that were blown up. There may have been one or two times that #2 could have held onto the ball on option reads and taken it himself, but I guess we’d rather not tempt needless injuries for the sake of a few yards. Overall, I thought he did exactly what he needed to do at the times when failure wasn’t an option, and for me that’s the single main thing we needed to see. He looked decisive, threw a few strikes (some too hard!]) and evaded pressure well. There is zero percent chance we could have won that game with Flacco under centre.

With the pass rush starting to work, the non-Garrett Wilson receivers getting theirs and Hall making yards on the ground, things are looking up!

It was a nail-biter but a gutsy win…if we can find some stability on the OLine and see more of 4th quarter Zach then things are looking up…everything crossed for Max Mitchell…
