We make too many mistakes for a "great" team. Still think we are great but giving up 3rd and long and getting punts blocked will bite you an the back side someday.

Mike White is going to spend a lot of time with the trainers this week.

It was White after a pick.

White is way more accurate than Flacco and our defense is seemingly not sticky. For a defense that only rushes 4 the Jets always have someone open.

Run between the tackles = great success. Run wide vs wide 9 = no success. 3rd down we run wide. I'm not an NFL coordinator but I feel like running wide is not our best answer.

Jets are the Bill's 12th man.

Might be the guys he's carrying down the field that are keeping him from that 4.3 40 yard dash.

We only rush 4. No reason for guys to be open that fast when you have 7 in coverage.

No doubt. Jets also helping us out with so many penalties. Flacco is not going to convert 3rd and long like White was doing.

Jones is what we wanted from Star. If Oliver and Phillips could both stay healthy we could possibly stop the run and pass rush.

Jets back to beating themselves. We need to stop them when they're in long yardage.

Can't say no one. I'm always going to push for us to run the ball. Even when it isn't working you should have more than 2 or 3 carries in a half. I'm not going to complain if they score without running but you become too predictable and Allen will take a beating.

They love showing Dorsey in the booth.

Oh wait we had a run that didn't gain 5 .......... guess we should stop running.

Nice get Diggs going. How about we run the ball a little.

We easily have more drops and penalties than points at this point.

The Jets actually didn't shoot themselves in the foot on that drive with penalties. I'm not upset with the pass rush. They're not dominating but we rush four. If everyone else is in coverage then I expect the coverage to not be so easy to dissect.

We give up a lot of 3rd and longs. Not just this game.

Elam will be fine. Both Elam and Benford looked good at the beginning of the season. By mid season we had a majority of back ups and rookies playing out there and the lack of starters in the system probably affected the rookies production. Going forward I would imagine throwing one rookie in with White and Poyer for support probably fares better than 2 rookies at CB and 2 back up safeties with no Edmunds and a depleeted D line. Physically there are so many pluses with our rookies they just need time in the system and mentoring with our guys who have been doing it.

I mean you're right but tell that to Allen who was hit multiple times from behind before he got strip sacked and thrown on his head.

Rewatching the game. Quesenberry was even worse than I thought. He straight up fell down on one play without even touching a defender and then Uche ran right by him a play later. I haven't gotten to the sack from Uche which I'm sure will again be someone running right by him.

Guys blowing around the corner is definitely a concern. Josh being Josh saves us a lot of the time but guys coming around the corner with barely a hand on them and a full head of steam is not uncommmon and frequently leads to bad things.

I'm going to put on my flame suit here and say Mac Jones doesn't deserve all the flack he's getting. Poor bastard has Matt Patricia as an OC. I'm not saying Mac Jones is championship caliber but he's standing up there begging for a more explosive offense and I'm not sure Patricia or Belichik are capable of coaching that.

Most to the point and simple answer I can give, while White was in the game the Pats did nothing through the air and Mac Jones was running for his life. I think White's knowledge, size, awareness, and ability to be physical without getting a flag all make him a big difference maker.

First half I saw a lot of White. Second half Jackson was playing where White was before. White was looking good.
