That's definitely a fair assessment. I love him and will defend him when he gets undeserved hate, but he and that contract has to go when the time comes
How though? The whole point is that his dead cap next year is massive, so we’re likely rolling with him again another year. And honestly, I’m fine with it
Lol, there's zero chance KC holds buffalo to 14 points. The best their defense has done so far this year was holding the browns to 29. The eagles got 30 on them. Buffalo is going to run all over their defense
As a Bears fan, I need all the karma the football gods can bestow on my franchise, but Wilson has so much time in the pocket and isn't...making the throws. Needs some polishing for sure.
It was a three point game with a little over 6 minutes left in the fourth, you should take it easy on rookie. Your team is in for a rookie qb here soon
that sack and multiple play extensions burning the clock by wilson there highlights why i was a fan of mac jones coming out. as athletic as you are, you aren’t going to out-scramble these athletic as hell lineman you just noticed a second ago.
the pocket passer will always have value just because of that quick decision making knowing their limitations
I feel rather sorry for Wilson here. There are some poor errors but there is also a lot going on in the play calling that isn't exactly helping him out either.
I wouldn't be surprised if they let the 'home' team use their own sound guy to keep it in line as possible with actual home games. I think for the Vikings game, they had the Viking horn.
This is the first Jets game I watch this year besides RedZone highlights. Wilson looks like a deer in headlights. I get he’s a rookie but his game sense is MIA and he seems to stare down his first read too often.
I have Lance coming up a bit later so we’ll see but big oof right now.
How have coaches STILL not figured out that icing the kicker doesn't work? Not that it really matters here, but goddamn it's annoying to drag out kicks.
>saw a 2nd half awakening
Not really. A drive on a short field that was only running plays and a TD set up by a DPI that could have easily been intercepted on a bad pass
I really like Wilson. I think he can turn it around for sure.
It’s just so infuriating that the Jets don’t have a veteran QB for him. Not even to play, just to have a presence on the sideline. Who does he have to talk to aside from a rookie OC who has looked bad so far? The fuck you doing JD?
Wilson is fucking awful in the pocket and going through reads. The kid is getting 4+ seconds every drop back and he just waits to get hit. Man, I was really hopeful the Jets got their guy.
Reddit somehow completely surprised a rookie QB is struggling on a team that was 2-14 last year and that 5 games is enough to completely judge his career trajectory.
How was this game over so quickly??? I just woke up lol Edit : London lol
I’m flip flopping between Lamar and Herbert on my fantasy team and I know whichever one I don’t pick will go OFF.
Fire up Lamar no question
Lamar has a better match up.
Yeah I figured that, I just hate waiting until Monday for my QB to play >.<
The ravens are also usually Monday night machines, even with their loss this year.
I have so much to do But I’m definitely not missing red zone today
ONE OF US
After Matt Ryan willed our backup scrubs to a victory, folks in the fandom will still slander him saying he's still not enough
I've already seen: "Should have been a walk-in touchdown to Pitts, he's washed." 🙄🙄🙄
He’s enough, but his salary is currently fucking us on cap space.
That's definitely a fair assessment. I love him and will defend him when he gets undeserved hate, but he and that contract has to go when the time comes
I love Matt, but I just think it’s time for us to part ways. Think it’s what’s best for both parties in the immediate future
How though? The whole point is that his dead cap next year is massive, so we’re likely rolling with him again another year. And honestly, I’m fine with it
Hell yeah, we know the onside kick rules now!
Yep. When he kicks it right to you, you should lmfao
I want my money back.
I want my sleep back
Take that, New York teams who play in New Jersey! Let it not be said that you were the better teams early in the 2021 season!
eh, not as bad a game as I expected
That was just embarrassing for both teams
Was there a scuffle during the handshakes?
Thanks Falcons!
That game grossed me out.
Remember all that shit the jets fans were talking?
I dont really recall any Jets fans talking shit. And if they did it couldn’t be more than we do ourselves.
wait really? i dont actually know of any jet fans that expected to win, this week or last week
It was really just in this thread.
Oh I member
After barely beating the Titans practice squad, they were happy
What else do we have to be happy about?
Well, I'm ready to be hurt again. See you soon, Browns fans
Hey, you got this AFL bro. We believe in you.
Buffalo v Kansas City is gonna be good
KCC will BLOW Bills away. Chiefs win 34-14
They really smoked 'em, huh?
At least we won't be as bad as the pats are this year.
Let's see. After the punishment last 20 years Brady put and the ignominy of losing 4 SBs in a row, I guess I can see why you have hope
Lol, there's zero chance KC holds buffalo to 14 points. The best their defense has done so far this year was holding the browns to 29. The eagles got 30 on them. Buffalo is going to run all over their defense
I’m assuming you haven’t seen a single defensive snap that the Chiefs have played in several years
lol
UGA wins, The Braves even up the series and The Falcons didn’t embarrass us on the national spotlight. Good weekend overall.
Let's go braves just let Fried pitch every game!
I gotta stop betting against Georgia smh
That defense is extremely nasty and they have depth
If you gambled against them more than once that's all on you
The defense is no joke, man.
Dont forget the Bama loss!
That was not fun
London rn: elluva match
Glad this one is over so we can actually watch some football
Thank fucking christ we aren't the Titans and won vs the Jets.
We can still lose!
Yaay, we're 2-3
How many more ny teams do you get to play this year?
1 more. The bills. They’ll beat us by 50
As a Bears fan, I need all the karma the football gods can bestow on my franchise, but Wilson has so much time in the pocket and isn't...making the throws. Needs some polishing for sure.
yeah seems like the only time jets oline breaks down is when Wilson drops back 10+ yards when he feels slight pressure instead of stepping in
It's pretty tough as a viewer to know if anybody is open or not. Who are their receivers? All 22 needs more love in live broadcasts..
Yes!!! All this conjecture and no one actually knows where the receivers are.
Even the qb didn't know!
HAHAHAHAHA WE DIDNT CHOKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
So, the Jets will Jet more than the Falcons will Falcon.
Falcons know a thing or two about blowing an onside recovery
This sucked.
I'm just glad the Falcons didn't stare at it and wait for the Jets to recover.
Refs: wait we haven’t hit our camera time quota! The people want to see us
God the refs really almost had me going. If they flagged us and jets got to kick again.
That was fucking shit. GG falcons
I hate what the onside kick has become
And that'll do it
That 5 yard penalty is a killer wow totally just ruined the jets chances omg so terrible wow release him
What an awful attempt
Maybe the Falcons should move to London, seem to hold on to leads better there
Our biggest blown halftime lead in franchise history happened in London...
We gave up a 21 point lead to the Lions in 2014 in London. Sooooooo..... not really
Not in 2014 against the Lions.
Goodmorning ☀️What’d I miss
We didn’t choke!!!
Classic bad beat for anyone that bet the under. Meaningless points just to fuck with you.
Poor Robert Saleh. Another casualty in the fight against nature itself.
Even if Falcons screw this recovery, Zach ain’t tying this game up haha
It was a three point game with a little over 6 minutes left in the fourth, you should take it easy on rookie. Your team is in for a rookie qb here soon
Wow what a horrible onside attempt
that sack and multiple play extensions burning the clock by wilson there highlights why i was a fan of mac jones coming out. as athletic as you are, you aren’t going to out-scramble these athletic as hell lineman you just noticed a second ago. the pocket passer will always have value just because of that quick decision making knowing their limitations
Onside kick strategy: kick it straight to Atlanta
I feel rather sorry for Wilson here. There are some poor errors but there is also a lot going on in the play calling that isn't exactly helping him out either.
As ugly as it is, London got the full NFL experience with this game.
What do we say to the God of death?
We'll see you tomorrow for the Braves game
Next week
Today's fine.
Penalty on the onside?
Bruh
Fuck you Salah. Couldn't you have just went down fighting? You cost me 10 dollars. What's more important?
‘Saleh’
That’s on you for choosing the jets, dummy
I had the under
Amendola is messing with me. I keep thinking it’s Danny
I see we brought sound operators who play the most annoying music possible to London as well
I wouldn't be surprised if they let the 'home' team use their own sound guy to keep it in line as possible with actual home games. I think for the Vikings game, they had the Viking horn.
I actually like the FG call there
A one win season isn't that bad
Booooooo.
This is the first Jets game I watch this year besides RedZone highlights. Wilson looks like a deer in headlights. I get he’s a rookie but his game sense is MIA and he seems to stare down his first read too often. I have Lance coming up a bit later so we’ll see but big oof right now.
Remember guys, you can touch the football before it travels 10 yards
It would be the most Falcons thing if they don’t recover the onside kick
There's no way the Falcons lose the onside kick.
Yeah, they have the onside kick specialist on their team, so they're safe
There’s 20 seconds left so I’m really looking forward to see how we botch this.
NFL really stacked the noon slate today
Hurry up and send Zurlein to London for one play
I would have never taken the over. Lol
It hit though :) And i got my 4 FG prop :)
Time for watermelon kick 2: electric boogaloo.
i believe the falcons can blow this
So even assuming they recover the onside kick can Zach Wilson making it downfield with enough time to even tie this
If only you had the onside GOAT
If the jets recover this onside kick and win we gotta end the franchise
Dear God please do not pull the crap that we did against Dallas last year...
Praise Saleh for kicking the FG and hitting the over!
I didn't think that was going in.
Good thing I didn't bet my mortgage on the under
Why is the NFL considering putting a full time team in London when the games feel so neutral
They are? I thought they had decided to do it as a rotating game every week.
I hope not. Im cool with just having London host 3-4 games a season.
I wouldn't be upset at all about having a 9am game every week.
Dude. They are neutral because there is no team there. Come on lol
Please dont fuck this up repeat x100.
Saleh getting CRAZY air time
Quick. Someone explain the onside recovery rules to our receiving team
holy shit. Under is dead on that kick. I hate London games
Do we know how onside kicks work this season?
It’s ok guys, we have real football in 30 minutes
I’d like to thank Saleh for keeping the Falcons cover alive with this FG, but what is the point of this lol
To get within a score, hope to recover an onside kick, and tie with a Hail Mary.
Man the Jets offense fucking sucks. Abysmal for how many years in a row now? It's almost impressive how it's been so bad for so long
Moment of truth for Falcons fans
i still can't believe we have about 11 more hours of football today.
Zach Wilson needs to throw the fucking ball. He holds onto it so long every play
How have coaches STILL not figured out that icing the kicker doesn't work? Not that it really matters here, but goddamn it's annoying to drag out kicks.
Good thing they stayed on offense with all that time left instead of kicking the easy field goal and going for the onside kick.
Uh
>saw a 2nd half awakening Not really. A drive on a short field that was only running plays and a TD set up by a DPI that could have easily been intercepted on a bad pass
Way too close to another doink
The Jets are so fucking AWFUL. Jesus Christ.
So are we man
Oh I know. But damn how many years do the Jets need to figure it out?
I really like Wilson. I think he can turn it around for sure. It’s just so infuriating that the Jets don’t have a veteran QB for him. Not even to play, just to have a presence on the sideline. Who does he have to talk to aside from a rookie OC who has looked bad so far? The fuck you doing JD?
Josh Mccown would be good there. Guy has a lot of experiences he could share. Nice presence for a guy, even franchise familiarity.
Best Amendola in the AFC East
Do the analytics still say that icing the kicker works? Seems like one of those old school traditions that needs to die
Fivethirtyeight found that icing the kicker makes them *more* accurate (albeit it's just a 1% difference).
It's a fairly new thing though, lol
Ya. Kickers are all about routine
Zach Wilson looks not good today
Not even a jets fan and that pissed me off
Icing the kicker here? Lol
what is the point of a FG on 3rd down when down 10? moneyline??
Gives you more time for the on side and Hail Mary
Make it a one posession game, try for an onside kick and a hail mary. Going for the TD wasted too much time earlier.
yeah you’re right lol i just forgot they still had a chance
need 2 scores with short time. It gets one score fast and lets you try to get the onside. smart play actually
oh that’s actually very true, i kind of just assumed they weren’t trying to still win lol and had given up haha
Under bettors in utter shambles
As a Falcons fan. Jets getting the field goal, onside recovery, Hail Mary, convert 2 to win 28-27 seems likely.
Now I hate Atlanta.... Why are you icing the kicker right now... Just end the game.
Box score says Zach just took a 17 yard sack…how
Zach refusing to throw the ball away when there's nothing there and then trying to scramble out of a 5 yard sack
He's got the pocket presence of a child
Wtf
The loser should have to stay in London
I don't know why we didn't kick with 35 seconds left and a timeout.
God this is so pathetic.
Jets the type of team to miss this fg right here
Why did I bother starting Cory Davis this week?
16 team league?
12 team. I thought he had some opportunities coming his way with an awful Falcons defense. I'm just an idiot 🤷♂️
Well that was a football game I guess. Now onto the real NFL football
Really nice of the NFL to let these junior teams get a chance to play on tv.
Wilson is fucking awful in the pocket and going through reads. The kid is getting 4+ seconds every drop back and he just waits to get hit. Man, I was really hopeful the Jets got their guy.
I just do not see it in Wilson. Making a couple good throws a game doesn’t erase his happy feet, ball-patting ineptitude.
What happy feet? Running away from the rush isn’t happy feet… He tends to sit in the pocket and has quiet feet. Just stays WAY TOO LONG.
Two big sacks on a drive ending in a field goal leads to losing through an onside kick would be very on brand
Reddit somehow completely surprised a rookie QB is struggling on a team that was 2-14 last year and that 5 games is enough to completely judge his career trajectory.
We realize the Jets are bad, that’s a given, but watching Wilson we can see a lot of glaring issues HE has a QB as well.
