Jones was flat out amazing today. Barkley was very good. They also really need to incorporate Toney more even when Slayton and Shepard get back. Instead of finding a way to lose, they found a way to win.

Slayton is garbage he should be behind Toney going forward. And Engram should be dealt

So should Shepard. Gotta get Toney snaps and targets. Felt like he could take it to the house on any given play. Never felt that with Shepard

Just got back from the Jets game. What a blast. Incredible game and the stadium was ROCKING even at about 70% capacity. The ups and downs and heart attack-inducing plays made for some wild experience.

First time in years having actual feels for a game.

The crowd was just awesome today.

We were in the Coach's Club (was a business trip and one of the folks I took to the game brought his son) - and of course Fireman Ed was there and going wild. Great stuff as the exec's son was able to get a photo with Ed (dude was just taking photos all game - it must have been exhausting).

What a great experience.

Jets win and Zach looked good and made some plays most QB's in Jet history have never made. And the defense with 7 sacks brings conjures up memories of the good ole days of the NY Sack Exchange and Ken O'Brien making some magic happen...imagine that!!

I still hate Gastineau for making the sack dance a thing. Sack a QB to set up 3rd and 17 then give up an 18 yard screen pass with 5 missed tackles. :shakehead Still, I'll take it.
 
Felt good to root for a Jets victory. The past few years are demoralizing when the team starts out so extremely slow and it drives you to want the best draft pick possible. 0-3 makes you start to think that, but being 1-3 with Atlanta on the docket makes you think that being 2-3 into the bye week is possible. That might have been best case scenario when the season started and you saw the schedule.

Wilson was eye popping at times today. He took those safe throws at times. He took shots down the field and improvised. If they can ever figure out a running game, the offense could take off. Crowder was huge for Wilson. He made those short/intermediate throws easier for him. The route on his TD was a professional play. He does things that others on the roster cannot do.

Even with Henry going off, I think the defense was overall strong. Pass rush was phenomenal. The corners were solid overall. Hall was the best of that bunch. Quincy Williams was a great pickup for the team. Tennessee held the ball for a long time, but they didn't let them get explosive plays. Probably in part because AJ Brown and Julio Jones were out, but you can't do anything about that.

The Wilson deep pass to Davis was amazing live. We were watching his hand telling Davis to go and BOOM. What a bad-ass throw that was.

Agree 3000000000%. There was a throw over the middle that I found even more impressive.....it looked like he made the decision at the last minute and then just sidearmed a laser to the receiver in stride.

This might be the first time in maybe 3-4 years but I actually expect the Jets to win on Sunday in London. I know this is the Jets we are talking about and that this is blasphemous talk of mine, but I really think last week is the kind of game that can kick start a team.

Falcons sure they are talented especially on offense, but they have no defense to speak of. Wilson should absolutely torch them . Ryan will do some good things as well vs Jets but we have a good enough defense to cause him some problems.

I think we are looking at a 31-21 type of win fellas. We head into the by at 2-3 and all of a sudden the sky isn't falling so much...eh? lol

You're thinking of the Falcons from 5 years ago. Today, Atlanta is not a good team. How the Giants lost to them is a mystery. Jets are 3 point underdogs because its the Jets.

I just looked at the Falcons D numbers cause I've heard people talk about how bad they are.

Opposing QBs have a 70.5% comp, 1056 yards, 11 TDs, 0 INT so far this season.

Hope Wilson has another good game. Build the confidence.
