-I thought it was a great job by the coaching staff to have this team prepared with good game plans on both sides, considering the travel to London. Can't be ignored, teams are not operating at peak levels in a game like that... Team came out fast with good energy.
-Defense dominated the game, great job on the final two drives when Miami started with the ball in our territory, real clutch on both of those drives, especially on the pass interference on Skrine, Jets buckled down tremendously, it was a great job and great play calling by Jets defensive staff...
-Offense started hot, but the limitations of Fitz were apparent in the second half. The missed FG, several drives that just stalled, with a top 15 QB this team is a contender, there is no question about it. But with Fitz, I get the feeling that the Jets could be more with Geno, but there is no way Bowels will replace him right now. The offense could be more dynamic, and more potent in the passing game. They are very solid, but a top 15 QB in this game today and the Jets blow the Phins out of London and back to the US without a plane.
-Phins are just not a good football team
-Penalties need to be cleaned up. There were several very questionable calls. And where the hell was the call on the deep pass to Smith that should have been called a pass interference? I thought the refs were extremely liberal on the pass interference calls, that was the story. But I also thought that some of the plays were savvy veteran decisions to prevent a bigger play, which does factor into their effectiveness despite the help to the offense.
-Ivory is a beast, he's just unbelievable. I'm still looking forward to Ridley coming back later this year, I think the Jets will need the depth in this offense, with the passing game being average for the moment.
-The Jets weapons at WR can be utilized so much more than they are, but their talent is what is saving Fitzpatrick right now IMO. Fitz is the right QB right now, he's making good decisions for the most part, the intangibles and decision making is working right now, but a good defense will provide bigger challenges...
-OL, despite all the fan paranoia with Winters in the line-up was outstanding. Winters had a very good game, the entire OL had a very good game, I don't see how anybody can complain about the OL play.
-Fitz has no idea what to do with Devin Smith, Smith is out running every pass Fitz throws, the timing is not there yet, and Fitz may not be able to get there. But once that timing gets there, and Smith settles down a bit, he's really going to be a player for us!
-Injuries piled up a little bit, but they all looked minor, and the bye week comes at a good time for players like Harris and Williams.
-Sheldon coming back can make this defense special, and it already is pretty close to that.
-A 3-1 record going into the bye is more than any of us expected and even asked for, it's big. Buy I really think this team isn't close to what it can be, especially if the QB play can get better, and it can, I just don't know if Fitz is the guy to get the offense where it could be.
-Still can't say enough about how clutch the D came through in that 4th quarter, Miami had all the momentum with the offense not executing, and Quigley having an up and down game. I think the Jets really look at the punters during the break, Quigley has a big leg, but he's inconsistent, that needs to be cleaned up. But the D really shined through on those two drives late, HUGE and clutch play by the overall unit.
-I thought Deon Bailey made two critical plays, just picked up this week, he came up big, we could have something there with this player.
-The trenches and the defense were the story today, penalties kept Miami in the game that the Jets clearly dominated, despite the offense stalling out on several drives in the 2nd half.
The bye comes at a good time, we will get some more players back, and the timing and passing game needs the work during the longer break!!!!
