Better question: why didn’t Gase just call a QB sneak? Way higher success rate and we’re not running the same play that just got stuffed with a far inferior player.

Horrible call by Gase

I'm happy to know Sam recognized it at the line. I was screaming in my house for the sneak when I saw they didn't line up over McGovern.

God I hate feeling like I know more excrement than the coach of my favorite team

Need a new one for a new board...

On the 4th-and-1 play: Gase says Darnold did not have the freedom to call a QB sneak. He has that freedom on some plays, but not in that particular situation. Gase reiterates he was happy with the play call, jus not execution. Van Roten missed LB to blow up Adams run. #Jets
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

I see everyone praising Sam for this play (and it’s a phenomenal play)... but the traits that allow him to make this play are the same traits that resulted in the interception last week that everyone killed him over. Bottom line with him is he’s going to make some throws that scream “rookie mistake” but he’ll also make throws like this. That’s the type of QB he’s always been, and that’s who he’ll always be. I don’t think we should expect him to change in that sense.

His magical chaos will be magical at times, but also head scratching. I think heismanberg said it last week but that roll out where he took a sack instead of throwing it away was way worse in my mind than the pick.

The sack was worse because there was no excuse for it. That was a pure boneheaded move. The interception was bad for different reasons. He either should have thrown that earlier or not at all. At least it was already 3rd down, so it just served as a short punt.

This made me think "what's Sam's capacity to process?".  But looking at these Wonderlic scores he's on a par with Josh Rosen the supposed  brainiac of that draft class, with Goober-of-Buffalo a cut above them all and Lemar Jackson pulling up the rear - here, last is first and first is last.

Josh Allen (Wyoming): 37
Josh Rosen (UCLA): 29
Sam Darnold (USC): 28
Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma): 25
Lamar Jackson (Louisville): 13

The Jets are the worst team in the NFL right now, and if they continue on that path and lock in the No. 1 seed, they should and probably will look to trade Sam Darnold.

And the #Steelers should be willing to outbid the competition for him.



I hope Gase and Maccagnan burn in hell.

GVR is so bad.

That was a really bad job by Andrews at center too. 

We're going to miss McGovern the next few weeks.

Yeah, I wasn’t even looking at Andrews. Really bad.

When does Clarke come off the IR? Was he done for the year?
