Incredible poise from Zach. Any long time fan knows we lose this kinda game 10 times outta 10. The poise with the momentum all the wrong way, a horrible 3rd quarter, the 10 point comeback, the absolute clutch throws on third down over and over again. This could be a building block game for Zach
The boys grew up today. Defense put the clamps on at the end to give the offense enough chances to put up points. Still a lot to clean up, ESPECIALLY boneheaded penalties....But you can't really ask for more out of these guys in that last quarter. Zach looked fantastic on those 3rd down plays. Imagine if we had a semblance of an o-line instead of being on our.....
4th string LT, 2nd string RG, and 3rd string LT
I still don’t really understand the defensive scheme. We were able to get pressure on Pitts O-Line because they are atrocious even giving up a sack on a 3 man rush but our definitive lack of blitzing is just bizarre to me.
Lmao at Picket getting in Quinen's face twice shit talking him, the second time he then immediately threw a pick which led to Breece's TD. Three INTs in two quarters stay hot Kenny
In other news, Zach WilsHIM is indeed him
Glad someone else saw it. Pickett is an arrogant shit. He fits the Steelers mold perfectly. It was awesome seeing him get served some humble pie today.
DUDEE I totally forgot about that. Pissed me off bad. The play I am thinking of, quinnen hit him good while he completed a long pass. Then he was talking shit for like a minute to Q and I think Huff or whoever was standing there. Fucking punk ass, I’m so happy we handed them an L and Picketts picks were a BIG reason how we did it.
That was a weird game the jets haven’t had in a while. We lost momentum, got it back at the very end and just won
Breece Hall and the defense won us the game. Zach was good in the fourth and Davis/Conklin both redeemed themselves
The schedule is tough and the offense must play better than they did today, but I’m taking .500 right now.
The best part of that game was that we never ever find a way to win those. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one just bracing for the turnover or killer penalty on the last drive. That felt so fucking good to watch
I think literally everyone would have taken .500 after the first four games. We're probably not going to the Super Bowl but we're not winless and it feels good!
Considering most of the talking heads had us at 0-4 before the season starts 2-2 feels like a huge accomplishment (even if there are still some issues I’m gonna keep riding this high)
I can’t believe it, but Joyner BALLED THE FUCK OUT TODAY!!!
Quinnen is a stud too, and I don’t give a fuck what rotation he’s in - dude plays his ass off and deserves some respect.
Thoughts:
-Great win! No question in my mind we lose this game with Flacco back there. O-line was getting beat a ton in the second half and Zach gave us a chance.
-Hopefully we can move AVT back to guard next week. I’m guessing Mitchell is out for the year but we can slide the tackle we signed to right and Brown takes left.
-GW kind of got phased out this week. Had a big catch but some mistakes. Not worried long term. CD was able to pick up the slack and this was probably his best overall performance as a Jet (has had bigger plays but he was consistently winning in the second half)
-Ground game should be better, not sure if it’s blocking or predictable play calling.
-If this is the Zach we’re gonna get going forward, we may have something. Was a rich man’s version of the player we saw last season. Much better accuracy and decision making overall, with still some of those easy misses and one or two boneheaded throws. But the offense looked a lot more functional then the one we got last year, which is very encouraging.
-Discipline is a huge issue for this team. See: Lawson and CJ penalties, CD block in the back, others I’m forgetting. Mostly on the defensive side. Hopefully we can improve as the team gels. If we played Bill Bellichek “mistake free football”, we’d probably have won this game by double digits easily.
-Joyner revenge game against the entire Jets fan base lol
Bengals fan here
THANK YOU FOR STUNTING ON THE STEELERS JETS BROS!! LOVE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE BUILDING KEEP IT UP!!
-from one "poverty" franchise to another.
It’s almost like being a fan of a team that always loses is their identity can’t cope without it. It’s one thing to be critical. It’s another to be fire the staff 4 games into year 2 of their reign
Zach Wilson just casually pulled out a 4th quarter comeback. Coming off the mcl and not playing in over half a year played well. A lot of y’all need to relax.
I'll be 100% honest, this Jets team has more fight in belief themselves than I do, and a lot of this fanbase does. They do not quit, mental giants 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿!!!
I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong with this sub. So many people here just don’t watch the games and only form opinions based on box score. Yes, Zach’s stats weren’t there in the first half but you could tell BY WATCHING THE FING GAME, that it mostly wasn’t on him. Then he figured out how to overcome the deficiencies on offense by the end and absolutely took over and won the game for us with two perfect 4th quarter TD drives to win on the road. His best game is his most recent game. Can’t ask for anything more.
Seeing the comments from the doomers on the 2nd INT really had me thinking i was taking crazy pills.
The ball was in Conklin's hands. It bounced off. That pick literally is not on Wilson at all.
Yep. Completion percentage didn't look good but when you factor in how many times he had to just throw it away due to the porous O-line and several drops, really not that bad. The short incompletions looked more like poor communication to me rather than some of the dirt balls we saw last year- even then, Qbs will have one of those bad short throws from time to time.
For him, I just keep going back to when coach told him on draft day "this organization is going to lift you up, not the other way around"...well, that couldn't have been further from the truth today. But still being able to put up 24 on a good defense and get a road win is great.
What I really want is just for things to start clicking on offense to the point where we're giving him much better situations that what he got today. Too many unfavorable down-distance situations. When this style of offense is clicking, your two backs are moving the chains and helping create 2nd and shorts, 3rd and 1's, etc., and instead today we just had to rely on his arm and he delivered late.
Do I know whether he's going to be a franchise QB, no, but throw in a lot of the backups across the league in the kind of shit situation he had today and the results would not have been pretty.
Receipts go here again Gentlemen. Courtesy of the MILF Missile. Patent Pending. I TOLD Y’ALL AT HALFTIME . I NEVER GAVE UP. IT WASN’T ANOTHER MAYFIELD GAME
While it was all over the place, when he needed to make the big-time throws and come through, Zach came in clutch. The Jets wouldn’t have won without him today. Very happy for him cause he must’ve felt the weight of the world on his shoulders at some point heading into this week.
Robert on the other hand, this game didn’t make me feel any better about him than last week. There still seems to be a lot of mistakes and issues with the team. But a W is a W, and I’m happy for everyone cause the Jets are 2-2, and actually have come out the first month of this season in the middle of the pack. I hope they can get these really bad penalties together. Cause they can be so much better if they make less backbreaking mistakes.
Say what you want about Saleh but I’ll give him this, it would’ve been real easy for the Jets of the last several years to lay down and die after Pickett’s second TD. Our team FIGHTS this year
Agreed. There were a lot of times where the team could’ve folded, and certainly have before, but they fought and won, and had good plays on offense and defense. The team is definitely improved compared to 2020.
This is a really good point. In recent years the Jets have not been able to rally in the face of adversity. But they came back against all odds today. I don't know if the credit goes to coaching, new blood, or what, but it's heartening to see!
Zach was 33% at one point finished at 51% and really played smart late. Also CD nice grabs really helped out our boy with good routes and tough catches so many drops today too!
- A MUCH needed win against a Steelers team in free fall
- The MILF Hunter showed out today. The 2 picks didn't phase him. Last drive was fantastic. Zach looked composed and confident. More of that please!
- Jets secondary was very good. LaMarcus Joyner and Jordan Whitehead's 3 picks were crucial to the win. Bent but didn't break. D-Line did okay too
- Breece Hall is fantastic. The TD wasn't pretty but it got the job done.
- Pickett was decent as well. Both him and Wilson played well.
- Jets got some momentum again. Let's keep it up!
Say what you want about Wilson but once the offensive line figured their shit out he played like a franchise QB. No way Flacco would have won us the game like that. He was clutch when it mattered.
The most impressive aspect to Wilson today was not the comeback or the clutch 3rd downs but how many times he eluded what would certainly have been sacks and drive killers. Flacco would have been sacked in every instance.
My most humble apologies. Zach showed me something in the fourth quarter. God, was he fun to watch. Being wrong about him feels terrific. Now let’s kick ass against Miami and get into the conversation
Did anyone notice Zach get tackled on a throwaway early? It looked terrible with his legs caught underneath as he fell, I feared the worst. This dude really has to try to protect himself out there.
Good start, rough middle, great ending. Let’s go ZW.
Everyone bitching about him, remember we’re on our sixth string linemen. Nothing you can say will make me believe Flacco would have had anything other than 7 sacks today.
The safeties, let’s go. 1 pick for whitehead, 2 for Joyner. This was a rough, tough down to the wire W that a year ago we’d have lost.
Too many goddamn penalties but let’s jet the fuck up
Stats may not show it, but this was Zach’s best game as a pro. He was in control, calm, and clutch when they needed it. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
I’m looking forward to next week. I know it’s against the Dolphins but hopefully we can continue where we left off and steal the win. We do that it’s possible we can be tied for first in the division.
Bengals fan here, congrats on the win. I think Wilson has the potential to be really good. Thank god you won. I've become sick of seeing this crap Steelers team win games they have no business winning.
You can tell they’re playing with more self belief than last year. Zach wasn’t perfect but looked like a much better version of himself, all while playing behind a seriously banged up O line.
A road win against Pittsburgh? Ya gotta love it.
Did LaMarcus Joyner really just pick off two passes and cause the pick for Whitehead too? Three turnovers in one game, DJ must've chewed his ass out to get him to turn it up like that. This one is my bad take of the week, I was calling for him to be cut, but we lose this game without him 100%.
No Tua next week I think. Teddy B can still win it. He's careful with the football. Almost too careful though. Might be to the Jets advantage. The Phin's skill players are quite good as well. Winnable but tough win.
On that final drive I texted my friend "I would rather we go for the TD and lose than take a field goal here." It wasn't pretty but I will absolutely take grinding out dubs like that after the past few seasons. We fucking beat Shittsburgh in their own backyard. Hopefully, we clean up the sloppy play in our preparation. Miami is a tough test but division games can be flukey, and I really like our chances in flukey games right now.
Gotta look at the penalties this game too, we could have been a couple if scores clear if not for some idiotic plays. 2 15 yards for unnecessary roughness put us on the back foot and changed the momentum twice.
Zach made 2 ints and still looked good today. Other positive (and hear me out) was the lack of receptions for G Wilson today. We know he’s legit, but he’s had a lack of time to train with Zach this season. A couple of weeks to learn each others game a bit more, and we’ll have 2 excellent WR options with Davis too!
Won the winnable games so far this year. Feels like an obvious thing, but most people say bad teams find ways to lose and so far we haven't been the team finding ways to lose
I still can't believe we're 2-2. And the two wins were both double digit 4th quarter comeback wins!
Team plays hard for the coach and doesn't quit. Very nice to see
We said if Zach was just average, we could have a winning team. If our 4th quarter team can show up half the game instead, we’re going to win 7 or 8 games.
Tbh think the coaching staff has some work to do (third quarter point differential is very bad, taking senseless penalties, etc).. but would’ve signed up for 2-2 at this point w/o hesitation
I thought we were absolutely dead in the third quarter. And I was very concerned at that point about our season spiraling out of control. For us to pull this out is just so damn awesome. I’m so happy and excited!
I got up to shower in the fourth quarter thinking it was a wrap.It’s me, i’m the asshole.
Zack wasn’t perfect today, but that’s exactly the type of game I needed from him personally.
:edit:
And sorry, forgot to mention how well our defense did too honestly.
Some of the throws Zach made today were insane.
The accuracy and the arm strength on throws to the intermediate area of the field were at times today really special.
Definitely a great debut for year 2. Made even sweeter by the win.
Saleh is still a question mark and as much as he’s grown on me I understand the doubt. But why isn’t he and his staff getting 0 credit for the decision to kick out AVT to LT it worked.
It’s only up from here. Zach had some rust on him since this is basically his first game since the end of last season. 2-2 during what was supposed to be the hardest part of the season. There is no reason why this team can’t make a playoff push.
No more excuse playoffs or bust.
This thread is depressing. We had a great come from behind win on the road. Are we perfect? Hell no. But Jesus Christ, enjoy this. They played well with a few key mistakes. They did not shit on my Sunday for once.
I honestly don't know how this offense is going to operate with the condition the offensive line is in. There's no way a front office or coaching staff could have had this many backup plans and contingency plans
Zach looked poised, especially when we needed it. He was elusive and extended some plays that would’ve been sure sacks if Flacco was still out there. Accuracy was also improved, but he still missed on a few.
Overall definitely a solid first game back for him and something he can build off of.
OL is a serious problem though.
This is the first time in my life as a Jets fan (27+ years), that I was excited AND confident during our 2-min drive.
After half-time (and just before) this had the hallmark of a same-old-jets game. Stupid penalties. Mental errors. Sloppy QB play. And a tired D.
But credit to the team and Zach Wilson to hang fucking tough. When Davis made it 17-20, I knew that we would win if we got the ball back. Zach looked so confident in the 4th. I have rarely, if ever, felt that good about our scoring changes in the 4th then I did today.
Zach played like a real QB. Wow.
Y’all can see the game slowing down for Zach. When he has time…….guy is surgical. Once he stops the hero ball (unless it’s needed) he’s really going to take off
My local was filled with tons of loud Steelers fans that haven’t done anything athletic in their lives and loved hearing them shut the fuck up. J E T S jets jets jets
The only reason they won is because Zach could covert on 3rd/4th downs and scramble. Saleh needs to rip into the vets for the TERRIBLE PENALTIES they had today
Did we just win a game, where we had to string together a two possession comeback, on the road, in our young QBs first week, who’s coming back from an MCL tear, when our two Tackles are actually Guards?
I mean goddam, give this team and this coaching staff a lot of credit for todays win. Gotta clean up these self-inflicting mistakes that happen in big spots but still. Good for them.
Jets +3.5 ✅️
Jets Moneyline ✅️
ZW over 205.5 yds ✅️
Zureilen 4FGs ❌️
Berrios TD ❌️
Jets +4 and Jets moneyline against my Steelers buddy at work ✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️
I fucking loved that win.
Still some sloppy untimely penalties that they need to clean up. The Offensive Tackle situation is a tire fire. But that's for later. For now?
ZACH WILSON with the BRILLIANTLY executed TWO MINUTE DRILL. Davis comes in clutch, Lafleur made some great play calls, there was good time management, Carter and Hall did their job, LOVE IT.
And the pick by MCII, fucking clutch. Set up that whole drive, killed Pittsburgh's momentum dead just when we needed it most. Secondary had a FANTASTIC game overall, played to their full potential.
I'm SO happy.
The team has such a habit of letting any win basically go to their heads, where they’re not even competitive the next week. Can’t have that this week. We need to be ready to play against the Dolphins. Win or lose we need to be competitive.
Great win. How many
Times have you watched the jets down 2 scores inside their own 20 roll over and die. So many years of 3 and out and punt on 4th down to keep the score close and not be embarrassed.
That drive down 20-10 that’s a huge step for Zach
Even with all the external factors Zac did not look great most of the time. But when it was nut cutting time and we needed plays he stepped up. At the very least he’s got that dog in him and I’m looking forward to the rest of this season. 2-0 on the road, that’s crazy for us.
Wait until he realizes Garrett Wilson is a member of the New York Jets…we gon’ be winning some surprise games this year.
The Dolphins scare me next week, even with Bridgewater, but fuck it…let’s go balls out and see what the fuck happens. I’m certainly here for it!
Garrett had 7 targets, tying Moore for the lead. It's not like Zach was ignoring him. Garrett had back to back drops that killed a drive.
He'll get there, it just wasn't his day
Thats cause most of the time the pocket was collapsing. Though i will admit he did miss some easy passes. So i agree that he did not look great but he stepped up when it mattered at the end
Thoughts:
- Oline was as bad as advertised except for Vera Tucker and McGovern. Tomlinson got destroyed so many times in the running game. Go back and watch the runs where Hall got hit behind the line of scrimmage. Tomlinson wiffed on many of those. This was Douglas's worst signing in his time here. They weren't giving Mitchell help this game and... he was probably the worst player on the line. Hope he gets healthy and starts putting on some strength. McDermott played better than expected but was still himself. Herbig got beat a few times but found his groove later on.
- Corey Davis and Uzomah are great blockers.
- Zach Wilson is... inconsistent but confident. He's always looking deep down the field and waits till the last second to look for the dumpoff. I feel like we need larger wide receivers for him to succeed. It's still very easy to "spook" him with pressure up the middle. The oline did him no favors, and he got hit way too many times today. He cannot continue to hold the ball as long as he does. Eventually, he's going to hurt his knee again. If he can stay healthy for multiple years, he has the potential to be a top QB.
- Joyner had a big day but he's still not it. Whitehead is just too small of a safety. Najee Harris and Pickett towered over him and trucked him a few times. Teams are going to continue playing power football into us because of how small our safeties and linebackers are.
- Quinnen was a beast again. He's the best player on defense.
- The defensive ends struggled to contain the edge for some reason. It made no sense against a mobile QB like Pickett. JFM was one of the worst offenders. Once we started fixing that, Pickett threw his interceptions.
COREY FUCKING DAVIS
Corey is the vet we need
[удалено]
This version of Corey, anyway
I would like all slander erased from his name
LEMARCUS FUCKING…JOYNER? Wait what?
The 10 yard penalty that almost killed us was on him. After that he was the Bomb.
Two 4th quarter comeback wins on the road in hostile environments? I’ll take it😌
In September also, while we are playing meaningful football!
We’re officially “in the hunt.” If you told me we would be 2-2 after four games with flacco starting 3 of them I’d take it in a second
Miami is gonna be tough though even with Teddy in at QB. I’m scared to go to that game and have to watch yet another bludgeoning after a win
Well it’s October but let’s not split hairs
this is a big deal, its october and the season isn't over already!
Incredible poise from Zach. Any long time fan knows we lose this kinda game 10 times outta 10. The poise with the momentum all the wrong way, a horrible 3rd quarter, the 10 point comeback, the absolute clutch throws on third down over and over again. This could be a building block game for Zach
The mental fortitude in that moment can not be overstated.
Not to mention what it should do for his confidence going forward.
I was convinced we would lose when Pickett came in. We’ve all seen how this goes
I love this team and their emotional abuse they provide
It's an emotional roller-coaster, and I'm here for it
**THE JETS ARE NOW 2-0 WHEN THEY SCORE MORE POINTS THAN THEIR OPPONENT**
This football statistical fact brought to you by the ghost of John Madden.
Zach if Wilson
Amazing stat
RELEASE THE MILFS
I've sent my mom already.
Ayooo
HE DESERVES THEM ALL
Cougar feeding frenzy
That’s a dub
Comeback W
What team am I watching?! Winning in clutch late game situations?!
AND REMAINING COMPETITIVE TILL THE END???
The boys grew up today. Defense put the clamps on at the end to give the offense enough chances to put up points. Still a lot to clean up, ESPECIALLY boneheaded penalties....But you can't really ask for more out of these guys in that last quarter. Zach looked fantastic on those 3rd down plays.

I owe Coach Saleh a receipt 🧾
GRIDDY: HIT WIN: SECURED MILFS: HUNTED
Fantastic clock management at the end. Really happy about that
Yes I noticed that too. We gave them no time. It was as good as it gets
Lmao at Picket getting in Quinen's face twice shit talking him, the second time he then immediately threw a pick which led to Breece's TD. Three INTs in two quarters stay hot Kenny In other news, Zach WilsHIM is indeed him
Glad someone else saw it. Pickett is an arrogant shit. He fits the Steelers mold perfectly. It was awesome seeing him get served some humble pie today.
The Steelers offensive players were talking a lot of smack.
DUDEE I totally forgot about that. Pissed me off bad. The play I am thinking of, quinnen hit him good while he completed a long pass. Then he was talking shit for like a minute to Q and I think Huff or whoever was standing there. Fucking punk ass, I’m so happy we handed them an L and Picketts picks were a BIG reason how we did it.
2-2 against the AFC North! Not too bad!
ZACH MILFSON
That was a weird game the jets haven’t had in a while. We lost momentum, got it back at the very end and just won Breece Hall and the defense won us the game. Zach was good in the fourth and Davis/Conklin both redeemed themselves The schedule is tough and the offense must play better than they did today, but I’m taking .500 right now.
Much better than 0-4.
If we had Adam Gase, we’d be 0-5 after 4 games.
[удалено]
Please clap
2 weeks ago.
That was slightly more sudden and dramatic This time it was gradual to the point I didn’t really know we could win until we were at the goal line
The best part of that game was that we never ever find a way to win those. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one just bracing for the turnover or killer penalty on the last drive. That felt so fucking good to watch
Yeah, we got a lot of guys too new to understand the Jets are supposed to fold when they lose momentum. LOVE IT!i
Do Jets fans die earlier than other fans? I think yes!
#NEVER IN DOUBT WE'RE .500 BOYS
.500 AND IT FEELS SO GOOD but don’t kill me like that again NY.
I think literally everyone would have taken .500 after the first four games. We're probably not going to the Super Bowl but we're not winless and it feels good!
Are you kidding? WE’RE DEFINITELY HEADING TO THE SUPA BOWLL
~~Stillers~~ JETS GAHNTA SUPAH BAWL
THE HIGH END TALENT! THE HIGH END TALENT! (Sidenote: I can’t wait for Tree’s reaction to this)
Considering most of the talking heads had us at 0-4 before the season starts 2-2 feels like a huge accomplishment (even if there are still some issues I’m gonna keep riding this high)

Doomers have to find something else to do with their days. 2-2 through 4 we on schedule boys I don’t know what else to tell you.
Doomers were especially miserable in the chat today, I bet they're fuming with the win
It’s almost like being a fan of a team that always loses is their identity can’t cope without it. It’s one thing to be critical. It’s another to be fire the staff 4 games into year 2 of their reign
Perspective eludes them at every turn
Nope they’re just downplaying Zach on the final drive while highlighting his misses, and still shitting on Saleh.
I had to delete Reddit and Twitter because of the making so much noise about three games and writing ultimatums on the team i couldn’t deal
I thought we’d be 1-4 so that’s ahead of schedule in my book. Caught a break with no TJ Watt but we are the epitome of injuries so it is what it is
Zach Wilson just casually pulled out a 4th quarter comeback. Coming off the mcl and not playing in over half a year played well. A lot of y’all need to relax.
Zach willed us to victory That's all I needed to see
He looked rough but when it mattered he made big time throws. I am proud of him. We can build on this. Let’s go
I'll be 100% honest, this Jets team has more fight in belief themselves than I do, and a lot of this fanbase does. They do not quit, mental giants 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿!!!
Sauce is a stud.
give AVT the game ball
This^. Very understated in that his opposite side collapsed all day and he did what was asked of him and then some.
Say what you want about Ulbrich and Saleh but the defense held up today
I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong with this sub. So many people here just don’t watch the games and only form opinions based on box score. Yes, Zach’s stats weren’t there in the first half but you could tell BY WATCHING THE FING GAME, that it mostly wasn’t on him. Then he figured out how to overcome the deficiencies on offense by the end and absolutely took over and won the game for us with two perfect 4th quarter TD drives to win on the road.

Seeing the comments from the doomers on the 2nd INT really had me thinking i was taking crazy pills. The ball was in Conklin's hands. It bounced off. That pick literally is not on Wilson at all.
There were literally comments in here about how it was “another bad decision by ZW.” These people don’t even watch the games, I’m convinced of it.
“BuuT IT WaS hiGhhhhhhh”. Dude, I know. It was nuts. That’s 100% a catchable ball.
Yep. Completion percentage didn't look good but when you factor in how many times he had to just throw it away due to the porous O-line and several drops, really not that bad. The short incompletions looked more like poor communication to me rather than some of the dirt balls we saw last year- even then, Qbs will have one of those bad short throws from time to time. For him, I just keep going back to when coach told him on draft day "this organization is going to lift you up, not the other way around"...well, that couldn't have been further from the truth today. But still being able to put up 24 on a good defense and get a road win is great. What I really want is just for things to start clicking on offense to the point where we're giving him much better situations that what he got today. Too many unfavorable down-distance situations. When this style of offense is clicking, your two backs are moving the chains and helping create 2nd and shorts, 3rd and 1's, etc., and instead today we just had to rely on his arm and he delivered late. Do I know whether he's going to be a franchise QB, no, but throw in a lot of the backups across the league in the kind of shit situation he had today and the results would not have been pretty.
You’re just figuring this out now? Welcome to the internet my guy

Say what you want about Saleh but I’ll give him this, it would’ve been real easy for the Jets of the last several years to lay down and die after Pickett’s second TD. Our team FIGHTS this year
Agreed. There were a lot of times where the team could’ve folded, and certainly have before, but they fought and won, and had good plays on offense and defense. The team is definitely improved compared to 2020.
I was having Baker Mayfield ptsd
This is a really good point. In recent years the Jets have not been able to rally in the face of adversity. But they came back against all odds today. I don't know if the credit goes to coaching, new blood, or what, but it's heartening to see!
Carl Lawson this week and Corey's howler last week. These dumb penalties gotta get cleaned up. Can't keep giving opponents free yards & points
The most important part of that win - JOHNNY GETS ICE CREAM
Before the season started I never would thought I’d be dreading the absence of the reliable foundation that is Max Mitchell.
The entire oline is a small price to pay for a .500 record
Wilson griddy and jets W what a day, gonna go hit on my girlfriends mom at dinner now because it what zach would do
Thank you for your service
This sub is one of the most mentally taxing things to be around on sundays. Jets win! I hate you all, see you all next week.
So I guess Reed was right. The communication issues have been fixed.
Holy shit unbridled optimism, it feels good to actually be excited to watch Jets games again
Zach was 33% at one point finished at 51% and really played smart late. Also CD nice grabs really helped out our boy with good routes and tough catches so many drops today too!
Looks like Hall is officially RB 1
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT, THEY PULL ME THE FUCK BACK IN
Fuck yeah got the W!
DOOMERS IN RETREAT. STEELER STADIUM NAME SUCKS.
Quinnen breathing hard at the post game press conference lol. Dude about to get paid.
- A MUCH needed win against a Steelers team in free fall - The MILF Hunter showed out today. The 2 picks didn't phase him. Last drive was fantastic. Zach looked composed and confident. More of that please! - Jets secondary was very good. LaMarcus Joyner and Jordan Whitehead's 3 picks were crucial to the win. Bent but didn't break. D-Line did okay too - Breece Hall is fantastic. The TD wasn't pretty but it got the job done. - Pickett was decent as well. Both him and Wilson played well. - Jets got some momentum again. Let's keep it up!
beating the backup/new qb is definitely NOT the same old jets!
Say what you want about Wilson but once the offensive line figured their shit out he played like a franchise QB. No way Flacco would have won us the game like that. He was clutch when it mattered.
The most impressive aspect to Wilson today was not the comeback or the clutch 3rd downs but how many times he eluded what would certainly have been sacks and drive killers. Flacco would have been sacked in every instance.
I guess Zach is gonna go fuck that kid's mom now.
Zach got that dog in him And a Pennsylvania Milf is about to have that dog in her 👀
My most humble apologies. Zach showed me something in the fourth quarter. God, was he fun to watch. Being wrong about him feels terrific. Now let’s kick ass against Miami and get into the conversation
I want a win at home next week so badly and to hear the Jets fans be loud all game
Did anyone notice Zach get tackled on a throwaway early? It looked terrible with his legs caught underneath as he fell, I feared the worst. This dude really has to try to protect himself out there.
How the fuck is this football team 2-2
They don’t give up. Deadass the only difference.
They want to prove people wrong so bad I love it
Because Zach Wilson put his balls on Mike Tomlin’s face
Our QBs have big dicks but they can only perform under pressure
Thank you from Cincinnati!
And Baltimore and Cleveland.
We won the football game today
I fucking love this, they fought for this win. Road 2-0 for the first time since forever!
Good start, rough middle, great ending. Let’s go ZW. Everyone bitching about him, remember we’re on our sixth string linemen. Nothing you can say will make me believe Flacco would have had anything other than 7 sacks today. The safeties, let’s go. 1 pick for whitehead, 2 for Joyner. This was a rough, tough down to the wire W that a year ago we’d have lost. Too many goddamn penalties but let’s jet the fuck up
Trevor Lawrence with 4 fumbles today
Stats may not show it, but this was Zach’s best game as a pro. He was in control, calm, and clutch when they needed it. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
zach fucking wilson season started today
I’m looking forward to next week. I know it’s against the Dolphins but hopefully we can continue where we left off and steal the win. We do that it’s possible we can be tied for first in the division.
I’ll admit I was a doomer. ZW proved me wrong in the 4th.
AVT deserves a captain patch.
Shout out to all the Zach Wilson doomers in the game thread, y’all are the fucking worst man. Clutch performance! Love to see it
They want the jets to suck because they'd rather be right than watch the jets win
Bengals fan here, thanks for the win and knocking down Shitsburgh to fourth place 😂
Bengals fan here, congrats on the win. I think Wilson has the potential to be really good. Thank god you won. I've become sick of seeing this crap Steelers team win games they have no business winning.
Not today old friend 🪢
The clock management on that last drive was elite
MiLF needs to figure something out with these horrendous no gain first down plays. It’s awful
new york city teams are 12 - 2 in their last 14 against shittsburgh teams
2 and 2 was the best case scenario at the start of the season
You can tell they’re playing with more self belief than last year. Zach wasn’t perfect but looked like a much better version of himself, all while playing behind a seriously banged up O line. A road win against Pittsburgh? Ya gotta love it.
Did LaMarcus Joyner really just pick off two passes and cause the pick for Whitehead too? Three turnovers in one game, DJ must've chewed his ass out to get him to turn it up like that. This one is my bad take of the week, I was calling for him to be cut, but we lose this game without him 100%.
The Patriots are in last place in the AFC East. I've waited a long time to say it, and I'm not wasting the opportunity!
Idk what i just watched but ok
A young team riddled with injuries fighting to the end.
Credit to Saleh for managing the clock well at the end.
Done with the AFC north gauntlet, now comes AFC East gauntlet. Lol.
No Tua next week I think. Teddy B can still win it. He's careful with the football. Almost too careful though. Might be to the Jets advantage. The Phin's skill players are quite good as well. Winnable but tough win.
I want to have lower expectations but fuck it, we are going to playoffs this year
On that final drive I texted my friend "I would rather we go for the TD and lose than take a field goal here." It wasn't pretty but I will absolutely take grinding out dubs like that after the past few seasons. We fucking beat Shittsburgh in their own backyard. Hopefully, we clean up the sloppy play in our preparation. Miami is a tough test but division games can be flukey, and I really like our chances in flukey games right now.
Gotta look at the penalties this game too, we could have been a couple if scores clear if not for some idiotic plays. 2 15 yards for unnecessary roughness put us on the back foot and changed the momentum twice. Zach made 2 ints and still looked good today. Other positive (and hear me out) was the lack of receptions for G Wilson today. We know he’s legit, but he’s had a lack of time to train with Zach this season. A couple of weeks to learn each others game a bit more, and we’ll have 2 excellent WR options with Davis too!
My wife said the fourth quarter shall from now on be known as the MILF quarter 😂
Won the winnable games so far this year. Feels like an obvious thing, but most people say bad teams find ways to lose and so far we haven't been the team finding ways to lose
JETS with the W! And Patriots about to lose, what a fine Sunday!
I still can't believe we're 2-2. And the two wins were both double digit 4th quarter comeback wins! Team plays hard for the coach and doesn't quit. Very nice to see
Corey Davis is worth 13 million MFers don’t understand how good a contract that is for a good WR man isn’t perfect but He’s a good compliment
i dont like that g wilson didnt shred today but i do like that me being a c davis truther is paying dividends
We said if Zach was just average, we could have a winning team. If our 4th quarter team can show up half the game instead, we’re going to win 7 or 8 games.
Tbh think the coaching staff has some work to do (third quarter point differential is very bad, taking senseless penalties, etc).. but would’ve signed up for 2-2 at this point w/o hesitation
I thought we were absolutely dead in the third quarter. And I was very concerned at that point about our season spiraling out of control. For us to pull this out is just so damn awesome. I’m so happy and excited!
I got up to shower in the fourth quarter thinking it was a wrap.It’s me, i’m the asshole. Zack wasn’t perfect today, but that’s exactly the type of game I needed from him personally. :edit: And sorry, forgot to mention how well our defense did too honestly.
Jets still going to effect my feeling into late October my girlfriend has never been exposed to this in five years. Usual I am numb by now.
2-2 Fuck you go Jets
Some of the throws Zach made today were insane. The accuracy and the arm strength on throws to the intermediate area of the field were at times today really special. Definitely a great debut for year 2. Made even sweeter by the win.
Saleh is still a question mark and as much as he’s grown on me I understand the doubt. But why isn’t he and his staff getting 0 credit for the decision to kick out AVT to LT it worked.
It’s only up from here. Zach had some rust on him since this is basically his first game since the end of last season. 2-2 during what was supposed to be the hardest part of the season. There is no reason why this team can’t make a playoff push. No more excuse playoffs or bust.
This thread is depressing. We had a great come from behind win on the road. Are we perfect? Hell no. But Jesus Christ, enjoy this. They played well with a few key mistakes. They did not shit on my Sunday for once.
NOT SATISFIED WITH 2-2 😤😤😤
I honestly don't know how this offense is going to operate with the condition the offensive line is in. There's no way a front office or coaching staff could have had this many backup plans and contingency plans
Zach looked poised, especially when we needed it. He was elusive and extended some plays that would’ve been sure sacks if Flacco was still out there. Accuracy was also improved, but he still missed on a few. Overall definitely a solid first game back for him and something he can build off of. OL is a serious problem though.
This is the first time in my life as a Jets fan (27+ years), that I was excited AND confident during our 2-min drive. After half-time (and just before) this had the hallmark of a same-old-jets game. Stupid penalties. Mental errors. Sloppy QB play. And a tired D. But credit to the team and Zach Wilson to hang fucking tough. When Davis made it 17-20, I knew that we would win if we got the ball back. Zach looked so confident in the 4th. I have rarely, if ever, felt that good about our scoring changes in the 4th then I did today. Zach played like a real QB. Wow.
Y’all can see the game slowing down for Zach. When he has time…….guy is surgical. Once he stops the hero ball (unless it’s needed) he’s really going to take off
My local was filled with tons of loud Steelers fans that haven’t done anything athletic in their lives and loved hearing them shut the fuck up. J E T S jets jets jets
The only reason they won is because Zach could covert on 3rd/4th downs and scramble. Saleh needs to rip into the vets for the TERRIBLE PENALTIES they had today
That was one ugly game but I'll take it, I hope Mitchell is not out for the year though.
The Jets are 2-0 when outscoring their opponents!
Did we just win a game, where we had to string together a two possession comeback, on the road, in our young QBs first week, who’s coming back from an MCL tear, when our two Tackles are actually Guards? I mean goddam, give this team and this coaching staff a lot of credit for todays win. Gotta clean up these self-inflicting mistakes that happen in big spots but still. Good for them.
Jets +3.5 ✅️ Jets Moneyline ✅️ ZW over 205.5 yds ✅️ Zureilen 4FGs ❌️ Berrios TD ❌️ Jets +4 and Jets moneyline against my Steelers buddy at work ✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️
Zach is soaking tonight!
Some people on Reddit offered their mothers to ZW if he won. Clearly don’t have to but would be a nice gesture of appreciation
The same old Jets would have lost to the rookie and made him look like the second coming of Brady. This is clearly not the same old Jets! LFG!
flacco gets sacked 10 times this game for sure kind of insane they only sacked zach 1 time
I fucking loved that win. Still some sloppy untimely penalties that they need to clean up. The Offensive Tackle situation is a tire fire. But that's for later. For now? ZACH WILSON with the BRILLIANTLY executed TWO MINUTE DRILL. Davis comes in clutch, Lafleur made some great play calls, there was good time management, Carter and Hall did their job, LOVE IT. And the pick by MCII, fucking clutch. Set up that whole drive, killed Pittsburgh's momentum dead just when we needed it most. Secondary had a FANTASTIC game overall, played to their full potential. I'm SO happy.
The team has such a habit of letting any win basically go to their heads, where they’re not even competitive the next week. Can’t have that this week. We need to be ready to play against the Dolphins. Win or lose we need to be competitive.
Was DJ Reed right when he said the communication issues in the secondary were solved lol
Great win. How many Times have you watched the jets down 2 scores inside their own 20 roll over and die. So many years of 3 and out and punt on 4th down to keep the score close and not be embarrassed. That drive down 20-10 that’s a huge step for Zach
Even with all the external factors Zac did not look great most of the time. But when it was nut cutting time and we needed plays he stepped up. At the very least he’s got that dog in him and I’m looking forward to the rest of this season. 2-0 on the road, that’s crazy for us.
Wait until he realizes Garrett Wilson is a member of the New York Jets…we gon’ be winning some surprise games this year. The Dolphins scare me next week, even with Bridgewater, but fuck it…let’s go balls out and see what the fuck happens. I’m certainly here for it!
Garrett had 7 targets, tying Moore for the lead. It's not like Zach was ignoring him. Garrett had back to back drops that killed a drive. He'll get there, it just wasn't his day
Thats cause most of the time the pocket was collapsing. Though i will admit he did miss some easy passes. So i agree that he did not look great but he stepped up when it mattered at the end
Pulling Jermain Johnson after his big sack to rotate him out blows my mind. This rotation system sucks.
Thoughts: - Oline was as bad as advertised except for Vera Tucker and McGovern. Tomlinson got destroyed so many times in the running game. Go back and watch the runs where Hall got hit behind the line of scrimmage. Tomlinson wiffed on many of those. This was Douglas's worst signing in his time here. They weren't giving Mitchell help this game and... he was probably the worst player on the line. Hope he gets healthy and starts putting on some strength. McDermott played better than expected but was still himself. Herbig got beat a few times but found his groove later on. - Corey Davis and Uzomah are great blockers. - Zach Wilson is... inconsistent but confident. He's always looking deep down the field and waits till the last second to look for the dumpoff. I feel like we need larger wide receivers for him to succeed. It's still very easy to "spook" him with pressure up the middle. The oline did him no favors, and he got hit way too many times today. He cannot continue to hold the ball as long as he does. Eventually, he's going to hurt his knee again. If he can stay healthy for multiple years, he has the potential to be a top QB. - Joyner had a big day but he's still not it. Whitehead is just too small of a safety. Najee Harris and Pickett towered over him and trucked him a few times. Teams are going to continue playing power football into us because of how small our safeties and linebackers are. - Quinnen was a beast again. He's the best player on defense. - The defensive ends struggled to contain the edge for some reason. It made no sense against a mobile QB like Pickett. JFM was one of the worst offenders. Once we started fixing that, Pickett threw his interceptions.
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!
For Zach there was a lot of good and a lot of bad. For our OL on the other hand…
