Jets fans shrugging at a 31-24 loss to Detroit because moral victories and a healthy Sadiq beat whatever last year was.

What happened

G.Smith drove them to the DET 1 with a shot to G.Wilson, then a J.Goff-to-I.TeSlaa 49-yarder and a J.Gibbs touchdown flipped it, with a C.Clark strip-sack sealing the door. K.Sadiq looked the part and the two-point conversion to S.Shepard briefly mattered, but an offensive line this expensive shouldn't be getting its quarterback sacked into fumbles in a one-score game. Fun to watch, ugly to explain.

What fans said

  • “I liked the fight. But it feels useless if Breece and GW5 are out for any time.”

    Before the usual boring 🤡’s start the tired ass FIRE Glenn narrative today.. Let’s look at what’s really happening 👇🏽 Geno has played 2 good games so far not turning the ball over + kept them in the game vs Lions (2nd half) went toe to toe with Goff in that stadium w/o his #2
