Maybe it’s different posters at times but there were a ton of ‘jets are dangerous and a not much lesser version of the ravens/fields is underrated’ takes in the preview threads haha.. it always gets me when people hype up a team all week then we destroy them and everyone is like ‘ehhh it’s a bad opponent’ like how can people point out all these strengths/good players and matchups on the opposing roster then suddenly they have none of that after they lose to us 😂 all the people that have always maintained ‘the jets are bad’ I have no problem with of course

I think some fans are a little too close to the team and it’s hard to see it unbiased.. a lot of the times the runs up the middle/underneath throws etc have been working but we only focus on the bad ones was just going through this in another thread but I think the gameplan against bad/mediocre teams is a little more conservative because if we protect the football theres no way we lose those games some of it was the jets dbs/pass rush actually looking pretty good today too

Most of those were bad/mediocre at best opposing qb performances but they were kept in the game by Josh turning it over multiple times against an inferior opponent. He’s taken big strides to prevent games like this the last year or so Russ: 193 passing yards Josh 2 ints bills offense had 4 turnovers total Easton: 215 passing yards 1 total td Josh 3 turnovers easton’s second lowest passing yds per game in his career Thompson: 40% completion, 220 yds passing 2 ints Josh 3 turnovers Trevor in Jax: 118 passing yards Josh 3 turnovers Trevor in London was a bad game for the defense for sure obviously we have not done well defensively against great teams in the biggest games but I think a lot of these supposed bad performances against bad teams are getting misremembered quite a bit

Looked pretty clear he got hit in the face…any serious injury he’s not runnin off the field that fast

I think worthy is simultaneously good and the most overrated player in the league somehow lol.

I think the score differential ended up about right…if more things went the jets way early the bills wouldn’t have gotten as conservative late

I love how people talked up the jets as a mini-ravens offense all week and now that we throttled them ‘it’s just the jets’ 😂

Pretty sure it’s just partial toe ligament tears…could end up being months I’d imagine but I’m not a doctor of course haha I don’t think he’ll be 100% the rest of the year

Idk if either of those guys will be themselves when they come back tbh…rice has missed a ton of meaningful football and is coming off a knee injury. If worthy has to wear a shoulder harness that’s a pretty big deal

Yea I was just sayin they’ve been getting calls but that evened it out

Kinda felt like it to me but I’m a little biased obviously lol. I think aj brown got hosed on a spot earlier and that 3rd down tush push got in

KC and the chargers might’ve swapped places this year lol that tipped int in the end zone had such a chargers vibe

Nobody really digs into it much cuz they usually win anyway but Andy Reid does some very bizarre stuff at times 😂. They can’t even run on a light box I can’t imagine why that was the call there

Elliot had 50+ yard issues after making a 59 yarder against us in the rain huh hah

That’s how it looked to me never got a replay though

Absolutely was lol

Now that the dust has settled a bit as much as it sucks and was a big failure I don’t think 13 seconds was the crazy impossible sequence that it gets hyped up as. The 3 timeouts def made it a lot more possible. The biggest part of the failure was giving up a 49 yard attempt on that blown Kelce coverage over limiting them to like a 60+ yard prayer Especially after we basically pulled off another 13 seconds-level sequence against the ravens ( 25 seconds no timeouts) We had one against the lions on thanksgiving a few years back too where it was 23 seconds and 3 timeouts but we only needed 7 seconds to get in fg range hypothetical 12-13 seconds for the ravens and no timeouts there’s no shot they get in fg range though def agree. At least on our 7 second to get in fg range play we had the threat of timeouts makin them cover the whole field.. I was just curious if people still feel strongly about how difficult 13 seconds was 😂

Seemed to be the kind of plays the ravens were leaving open most of the game though tbh. Felt like more execution issues early on offense to me than anything schematic…rewatching the game a couple times a lot more of those quick at/around the LOS plays either worked or should’ve worked than I initially thought. The ravens just shut a lot of them down with insane tackling early which seemed to gas them out down the stretch I think the book on Josh is to force him to take that underneath stuff and hope he gets as impatient as his fans do haha.. if the ravens weren’t as good as they were early against the short yardage runs early I think we would’ve scored 50+

I love Lamar but this seems to be a growing theme…he’s gotta be making plays late when teams are loading up to stop Henry from icing the game and it seems not super uncommon that he doesn’t It feels like there’s just so much variability in how defenses play different qbs that these metrics are close to worthless.. if a team plays a lot of over the top pass coverage and makes you nickel and dime them down the field obviously you’re gonna do it but your advanced metrics take a hit for yards per attempt over a season long sample size maybe comparing dudes using qbr and such matters but for a single game comparison it just doesn’t work

I feel like the ravens offense was a much taller order to stop this time…we like to play a lot of man against them so the motions and such don’t cause personnel mismatches in the running game. Zay flowers and Deandre Hopkins are way harder to man up than anyone they had in the playoff game and maybe Hairston over strong would’ve made a big difference there too. when you’re manning everyone up with a single high safety or doing some cover 0 stuff if Henry breaks the second level he’s gone so it’s very boom or bust. Boom or bust against the ravens is probably fine though as you’d prefer a quick score to them picking up 5 yards a carry and just killing all the clock. People are saying it’s same old mcd based on the result but it really is kinda the opposite philosophy than what we normally see from him against other teams imo lol i know people are seein fields/hall as a ravens lite but I think the defensive approach is gonna be entirely different. Against someone like fields you want to make him grind out drives packers really are good but it’s kinda under the radar because two of the teams in their division were insanely good last year…they had 11 wins last year despite losing every close division game. One of them Jordan love got knocked out of. I think the Vikings and lions got worse so it’ll probably be a little more clear the packers are good this time

I feel like every big enough city where it’s logistically possible is just angling for hosting a Super Bowl and that’s the real reason we’re seeing so much of this. i just happened to be in Cleveland this year at the time Huntington bank field hosted a huge concert and it was an absolute sh*tshow haha so I wonder if any of these smaller cities will even get to host even with the fancy indoor stadium

That specific bishop play was snap trickery on the ravens part that caused that mess…it was actually really crafty and I’m glad Harbaugh didn’t save it for some huge play in the playoffs lol. Kinda odd to drop that one in a game where you have no reason to believe you won’t win anyway they got up to the line and just instantly silently snapped it and the bills got caught in the disguised look…I’m sure bishop would’ve creeped down way closer to the LOS otherwise.. seems like we were not ready for a few quick snaps that night

Yea I’m all for people preferring indoor/retractable roof on a personal comfort level but these business and strategy reasons I’ve seen people come up with for indoor football are a little ridiculous in my opinion

I feel like busts outside of the first half of round 1 are shockingly common lol chiefs drafted a first round DE two drafts ago that just doesn’t ever play and most people probably haven’t even heard of Way way too early to know for sure but I thought Nate Wiggins looked pretty bad in pass coverage against an ok group of WRs Sunday night. Ravens and chiefs are two of the best front offices in the business…if they’re missing on round 1 picks everyone is 35 snaps I think it was like 70%

The more I rewatch our game the only thing that felt lucky to me was the tipped td the Henry fumble was nice but there was time to get a regular stop anyway so idk how necessary it was.. And in this alternate universe where that happens, maybe we convert on the 2 pointer Jets looked pretty solid though I’m gonna watch that whole game I was switchin back and forth between a bunch of different games Sunday
