Another season down the crapper. Seems like every year, we have a MUST WIN game vs. the crappy Bills and each year, we suffer a devastating loss to that time. I'm beyond disgusted in the way we played.
We were facing the WORST defense in the league and at the half, we were tied at 0-0 after Nugent missed a field goal off the uprights.
The defense, against a rookie unproven QB didn't do much. They completed pass after pass. Hell...this Edwards kid completed 22 of 28 passes for 234 yards. It almost looked like we were playing against a Pro Bowl quarterback. Can we get some pass rush please? Can we not give teams so much cushion on the run. Can we stop the short pass?
I'm starting to think that our GM, a lawyer, and our head coach, an ex-ball boy, don't have a clue what they are doing. Like why in the first half, did we punt on 4th and 1 from the Buffalo 45 when we are facing the worst defensive team in the leauge? Mangini...get some balls ! And if you have NO confidence in your offense, them put in the QB that has an arm.
I'm fed up with our offense. Chad Pennington can NOT throw the ball. His numbers were looking nice but ever pass was 5 yards. And, how many wasted time outs did we have? Why do we always snap the ball at 1 second or right at 0 seconds? We could have used some of those time outs at the end of the game. And, Chad's balls are so weak. His longest throw sailed only 22 yards in the air. I'm officially done. To win in this league, you need to throw the ball downfield which we do not do. Bring in Kellen as the season is already shot to shit. Pennington's numbers weren't terrible. He completed a career high 32 passes but for only 290 yards. At one point, he had 15 straight completions but when passes are around 5 yards, it didn't impress me one bit. It should have been 16 straight as that pass went to the wrong team. His interceptions were bad with the first setting up a Bills score and the second ending a potential tying FG.
And where the hell was our running game. We were playing against a defense that can't stop the run and has allowed 12 straight 100 yard rushing days (averaging 165 yards of rushing per game) but they hold us to only 60 yards? Our prize acquisition of the off-season, Thomas Jones, had a massive 35 yards rushing the entire day. Yup on 12 carries, he averaged a bit 2.92 yards per carry. That's a freggin joke !
Penalities killed us all day. We had 9 yesterday and over the first three games of the year, we also had 9 so that was a mental meltdown.
One thing I did like was the fake spike play but then Nugent missed a 37 yard Field Goal.
1. The Jets allowed 304 total yards to a team that had managed a total of 600 in its first three games.
2. The Bills scored only 24 points in their first three games, the league's second-lowest total since 1970.
3. Nugent's streak of 23 straight inside the 50 ended at the half..
4. Pennington extended his touchdown-pass streak to nine straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL.
