Throwing this question out there before the Jets game… How does everyone feel about the game Sunday?
I’m genuinely worried that the season is starting to spiral out of control and it started with last weeks humiliating loss to the Bears. Just a fan wanting to talk sports
How long is Jones’ leash? What if we lose to the Jets?
Remember Mac Jones has been bad this year even when he was at 100 percent.
Team is now 3-4 and wins are a must.
If we lose to the Jets, the media pressure to start Zappe for the game after becomes suffocating.
The Jets have been solid and their run game has been decent. We are weak vs the run so defense may bot be able to win us the game.
Our offense must put up points and that’s been an issue with Mac under center so far.
Most significant Jets game for us in a while
