Redemption: Jet Fans get down on players, but sometimes we need to be patient. Braden Mann, it’s nice to have a punter that’s an athlete. Great onside kick, nice job as a punter, best completion percentage on the team, very nice pass. Jeff Smith ran a great route, broke ankles. Zuerlein made this team because he can make a 57 yard kick, made a Tackle , and 4 extra points. Ashtyn Davis was a dead man walking, covered some ground to get the interception. Joyner may not be the answer at Safety but he led the team in Tackles, limited explosive plays. The Offensive Tackles held up. I wanted to cut Justin Hardee for another DB and CAP, recovered the onside kick and is leading ST. Finally, Flacco, the final drive with 1:22 left, just a solid job from a veteran QB.

I'd also give some credit to MLF, starting with personnel groupings.

Maybe it was an easy decision once Uzomah got hurt, but he made the adjustment to get GW on the field more, shifting away from 12 personnel despite the twin edge rushers

2 TE sets just 13 times

3 WR sets 45 times (68.2%). Gets our best skill players on the field together

It'll be interesting to see if they mix in more 12 once Uzomah gets back.

Absolutely right there Todd. Will be giving MLF plenty of credit through the week as completely forgot about him as I typed away at this late last night. Made some excellent adjustments in game as well. It will be interesting once Uzomah returns and I'm sure they'll want to get him more involved in the passing game.

a lot easier to write this David - good for you ! - The Jets HAD to win a game in September for the franchise and thier fans. This was a top 5 game in Jets history and a most inprobable win. Now it will be exciting to go this coming Sunday and hopefully start stacking wins !

I nearly drove off the road listening to The end of this game! That is why I listen to the end of EVERY GAME, hoping for an end lik that!

I'm so curious to see the OL ratings. Seems like they held up reasonably well.

Those penalties on CMG were frustrating

I'm still on cloud 9 from that win!

We were so starved for a win like this

I was also wondering who Garrett Wilson kept beating and if it was slot or outside snaps. Did MLF successfully get him in the slot against favorable match ups? Did Denzel Ward shut down CD and then Newsome on Moore, leaving Takitaki or safeties to try to stay with GW?

I really wish the Feely would mention this kind of stuff during the game. Ward is a star, so I'd think that would play into their coverage strategy. Did he shadow Moore or Davis?

Great write DWH! I always enjoy your work...

We had a really heavy rotation and yet our defense seemed to be worn down by the 4th quarter. Maybe that can be the impact of our 2 RBif we commit in future games

Hoping to see the ferocious pass rush on Sunday.

I think Burrow has been sacked 12 times already
