This game has been laughably officiated. I get calls will be wrong but every single mistake has gone Phillys way.
That sideline review wasn't close...Brown's elbow was out of bounds, then he resets his hands on the ball after a quick bobble. Possession was clearly established after his elbow hit. WTF were they looking at if they couldn't see that clear as day.
 
Hate to post negative vibes after a nice win like that, but Saleh is a moron for not running the clock down & kicking a FG.

They would have found a way to Jets it up. Take the points and let the defense continue to do its thing.

Jets curse or not, you can't give them the ball back at the end of the game with a chance to win. I'm glad they got away with it, but it's not smart football. As a coach that's the way to lose your job.

The Eagles had two time outs, though. If the Jets got stuffed a few times and Philly used time outs they'd have gotten the ball back with like 50 seconds where a FG would win it.

I feel like I am going back and forth on it, the Jets defense was so good. You are forcing them to score a td with the td.

I can’t get over how well the defense played. They need to sign Huff to an extension during the bye week.

I definitely understand the wisdom of taking the FG and running off time. But for me, if I'm Saleh, I'm 100% confident those guys are not going to score a TD on my defense the way it has been playing.

A field goal? A field goal to win, that's one of those things where one sloppy missed tackle nets an extra 15 YAC, or one terrible pass interference call or something goes against you, and suddenly Philly is sitting on a 56 yard kick to win.

I'm more comfortable in betting that we don't allow a TD than a FG, even if the FG scenario is with a minute and no time outs. Too much crazy shit in the latter scenario for me, and in this NFL, it almost feels like that scenario is a sure win for the offense given how good the two minute offenses are for most teams and how good kickers are.

Anyway, it is what it is. I was fine with the call at the time and it worked out.
 
How good is Josh Allen actually? Some games, with his physical skills, he looks literally unstoppable and like a future HOFer. Other games he looks like all the bad things in his draft profile and like he's just kind of "eh."
