    We darksiders basically have been complaining because we haven't seen much competitive football over the last few years. Today, although they may lose, at least the Jets showed up and played thru all 4 qtrs for once. Not sure if Saleh's statement made the players circle the wagons and defend him, but this team today hasn't looked much like last week's edition. For one Sunday at least, the Jets looked competitive against a fairly equal opponent.

    Thank you Jets! Now keep it up....

    I need a win in September so badly. It’s so damn depressing. This one the only game we had a chance to win in the first nine.

    So being competitive is the goal now I see. The 4th quarter was far from complete. This team will be lucky to win 4 games this year.

    For once, this was a game into the 4th qtr. I'm listening to the announcers beg for patience as Saleh and JD are building a juggernaut. All we have to do is wait for it...

    Our expectations have been lowered so badly that we consider it a moral win if we can stay within 2 scores

    Yes.. Its come to that now. Just being in the game in the 4th qtr is the goal now as I'm sure Saleh will tell us in the presser how proud he was of his players.

    Pretty much.. Don't forget to add in the "they're only a few players away" refrain.

    They're are doing everything they can do to soften the plunge but they won't. Far too afraid of a QB controversy when Zach comes back which is why they trot out a 37 yo QB who's next win in a Jet uni will be his first. He gives us the best chance to win I guess..

    We have been competitive in 5 of out last 6 games being ahead, tied, or within 3 points during the 4th quarter.

    I'll take it. It was a game in the fourth quarter at least. Bunch of backbreaking plays and penalties, because this is the Jets, but at least it was an entertaining watch for the most part. Pretty much all I want to see at this stage. I'm so far beyond investing any psychic energy in this enterprise.

    Hey, a win is a win. A miracle win is kinda special though.

    I take back everything bad I've said about Flacco.

    Flacco to Wilson looks like a thing and Moore is still better than Wilson in my book and apparently Corey Davis doesn't want to be an afterthought just yet either.

    What's the saying, don't get too high after a win and too low after a loss? Trying to enjoy this while realizing there are 15 games left.

    Well I have nothing to say!

    I NEVER expected heroics from sleepy Flacco and voila..smh

    Now would it be too much to ask to have a few wins in a row?

    The CS had its BEST game

    Give credit
