The Day After (Another Loss) — Jets Notes
It is almost over, only three more games (they better be losses) and the Jets can get on to the off-season and wiping away the memory of Adam Gase: – Other than an incredible INT by Marcus Maye and an impressive KO return by Corey Ballentine (60+ yards) there’s nothing positive to say. – Why… Read more
Game Observations; Ty Johnson & Targeting Playmakers
You’ve got to be kidding me, that was way too close for comfort! Henry Ruggs finally woke up and played like a #1 pick and bailed out the Las Vegas Raiders and kept the NY Jets draft position intact. The Raiders remain in the playoff race and the Jets stay in the lead for Trevor… Read more
Young Players Starting to Stand Out
Interesting dynamics going on in the last two games. Two close losses (good) and within the contests young players are flashing (better). On top of that I’ve been impressed with the fight I’m seeing. There’s been no “loafing” and players seem dialed in looking to win the game. Are these indications that a young roster… Read more
Game Notes; Build the Line Around Becton
That was a close game but Jaguars fans got punched in the mouth as the Jets pulled out a last second loss to continue their quest to the #1 pick. Let’s take a look: – It really stinks Mekhi Becton got hurt because he was putting on an absolute clinic at LT. Totally sealing off… Read more
Game Notes; Why is Gase Still Employed?
I’m sorry I didn’t post earlier but the Jets committed another personal foul against me, “roughing the writer” and I had to recover. Who can be shocked that they lost (37-28) to a QB making his first start on a short week. A totally undisciplined mess of a game that continues to indict not just… Read more
49ers @ Jets Week 2 Recap: Jets Lose to Backups, Suffer More Injuries
Game Recap In a Week 2 that saw so many injuries across the league, the Jets and Niners suffered a handful of injuries themselves. San Francisco defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas both left in the first half with knee injuries, and neither would return. Wide receiver Breshad Perriman was injured while blocking on… Read more
Game Rewind; Gase Refuses to Run and Setup the Pass
Each week KRL will provide mid week thoughts on the previous game. In case you missed it here was the initial reaction that was posted on Monday (NY Jets Monday morning game notes). General Notes – The game stunk – It took 3 hours out of my life that I’ll never get back – They… Read more
Jets @ Bills Week 1 Recap: Darnold, Offense Falter; Look Unprepared
Game Recap The 2020 season did not get off to the start the Jets were hoping for. Instead, the offense started off slower than molasses, gaining 4 total yards on their first three drives. On defense, they allowed Josh Allen to throw for a career high 312 yards, most for a Bills passer since 2016… Read more
Darnold in the Rain; Other KRL Game Notes
In a game that was extremely hard to watch and had a pre-season feel to it, the Jets ended the season with a 13-6 win over BUF. A torrential downpour, odd play calls and some questionable plays that weren’t challenged highlighted an ugly game. The Jets end the season with a 6-2 second half and… Read more
Jets Fall To Ravens; KRL Game Notes
If you’re looking for the usual “the sky is falling”, “fire everybody” hot takes after a Jet loss you’re looking in the wrong place. The Baltimore Ravens are the superior team and on their way to being the #1 seed in the AFC. The Jets are not that. To me yesterday’s game was an opportunity… Read more
Gase Needs an Assistant with Gray Hair; KRL Game Notes
It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t anything to brag about but the Jets won for the fourth time in five games as they squeezed by the Miami Dolphins 22-21. I had multiple questions about this team coming into the game: – What would the defense look like without Jamal Adams? – Would the offensive line… Read more
Bengals Slap Jets Back To Reality; KRL Game Notes
The Jets were slapped back to reality as they lost to previously winless Cincinnati Bengals 22 – 6. Issues that had plagued the team before the win streak re-emerged as the offensive line was awful and penalties wiped out any big plays the offense generated. Of course they had to make “history” as they lost… Read more
