    You’re either willfully ignorant or as I suspect because no one is this dumb, trolling. Go read my posts in this thread and you’ll find multiple posts where I say Zach Wilson has been far from perfect and MLF has been flat out awful and some situations. That would require you to read and understand something which is not your strong suit.

    It’s an unbelievable stretch to pretend like we should have scored 40 points or else that means MLF was bad and it’s even stupider when you say we couldn’t even score 3 touchdowns, and then scoff at the notion that we were intentionally running out the clock by running 15 times in a row.

    Becuase youre just rambling instead of reading and comprehending. 3 tds a game is about the NFL average. You wanna look and tell me that this team cant score 7 more plus points a game?

    I’m talking about one specific game and you are giving me a link to team averages across the first six weeks of the season? Somebody here is definitely not comprehending

    They completely manhandled Mims. Mims they dont even activate for games. Mims has talent, let him play now. He can thank Moore. Moore is very foolish and childish, and has dropped his narcissistic mask. This is who he is.

    If AJ Brown is pleading his free Willy nonsense how about a swap... Moore for DeVonta Smith?

    Wtf are you even talking about anymore? In your stance to defend every player and coach blindly, youre going on and on about how everyone else is wrong and "some guy" says they should put 30 to 40 on the board, yet that guy shows you that, yes its very feasible given their schedule and you ignore it. Tell me one game where this team shouldnt have score 1-3 more TDs? Theyre already top in the league and didnt even score most those points till the 4th quarter. So you mean they shoudnt try and score in the first half of games?

    You dont even know what youre arguing about. Maybe we need to send you home for the day to cool off and just deactivate you this weekend.

    yeah he’s gone off the rails no doubt. He’s arguing they didn’t try to score on purpose. That tells you all you need to know

    Let me get this straight. The new criticism du jour is that we didn't score enough points in a win last week. Because a couple of gurus here happen to know best that GB is sooo bad defensively yada, yada, yada. Funny, I don't recall them getting blown out like that at home before, but what do we know. Yep, now winning is not good enough, gasping for the most ridiculous negative straws is the new norm. My Lord what a farce some of these inputs are.

    The last team to score 70 points was Washington in 1966

    Deeply disappointed in Moore. One player I would never expect that from. Meantime Mims, who gets nothing but shit from many, sits in the background patiently for a chance. And quite frankly, he did nothing but earn it in pre season. Unfortunately, he might now get the chance under some unhappy circumstances.

    It's unfortunate Moore did this, he clearly has friends influencing him i.e. AJ Brown.

    Dude is gonna get his chances but why try to sour everything, it's fucking stupid

    I disagree, but even if you're right, Mims should be rewarded for his hard work and changing his attitude by making him active this week and giving him some opportunities. Since they're going to be running the ball a lot, it makes sense since Mims is a very good blocker. Also, Moore has basically been running a lot of sideline and 50-50 routes, neither of which fit his talent/skills, but they do fit Mims' skills and talent. A lot of Mims catches with the Jets have been sideline routes.

    I love Berrios, but he already gets designed plays for him every week. I'd rather see Mims get a shot.

    What does the game being 19-17 going into the 4th have to do with anything? Did the game end there and I'm oblivious? Or did we score 3 more TDs and end up winning 40-17? Do TDs somehow matter less in the 4th than those in the first 3 quarters?

    The YPG is the least impressive of the 2 stats I gave you. What's more impressive is being 10th in scoring considering we put up 9 and 12 in 2 of the games when Flacco was under center. A point I've been trying to make to you in my posts that you choose to ignore for whatever reason and default back to YPG. I also literally said the offense only scored 20 points in the post you quoted, did you choose to ignore that as well?

    No, the offense is not moving the ball the way YOU think it should. We're 4-2, with an offense that's 10th in scoring and you somehow want people to believe that our OC isn't using guys in the correct way? Again...pretty bold statement but that's just my opinion.

    My assumptive take of where things are:

    Moore and the staff met today, and didn't make a lot of progress. If they had, at worst, Moore would be 2nd string this week. The fact that they are excluding him for the week suggests they are taking this to phase 2.

    No, this isn't just your bad boy punishment from daddy. Their still not seeing eye to eye and now Moore is being sanctioned. The ball is in Moore's court. How will he handle it, and what will his attitude be when he returns? Tune in next week to find out on the Jets of our lives.

    The thing is, in the GB game he was never open. He was blanketed every snap. That's on him. Even worse, he was dogging it quite a bit, jogging through his routes, and putting forth little effort. He needs to sit more than one week.

    Again youre missing the point. Moore isnt wrong in his assessment. Its how he went about it is wrong. Olif you think this team can keep playing like this and win, youre sadly mistaken. Were all happy with the wins, but to act like its been great or perfect is just a silly take. It hasnt been offensively. Its not the players faults either. Theyre not being put in positions to succeed.

    There's no good way for the Jets to handle this in the open. Disgruntled players and locker room politics will always get out of hand - as the tweet above from Sauce indicates.

    The Jets are either figuring out how to make a trade happen before the deadline or they are going to de-emphasize him for long enough for him to cool down and accept the status quo. Most likely if that happens they will move him in the off-season.

    There is a huge difference on the second contract between being a 40 catch guy and being a 70 catch guy and with the talent on hand on the Jets right now Moore is going to be a 40 catch guy for the forseeable future.
