A lot of penalties negated big plays for the Jets, some where warranted, some were borderline, but it does feel like we got a cheap win. However, I will take it and Leonard Williams is a man possessed out there, playing like Aaron Donald.

I wasn't comfortable with anything at any point in the game. I kept wondering to myself "how are we going to F this one up?"
If you're referring to the holder Dickson being injured, I wasn't worried about FG attempts like I was about possible punting situations. We went for it...and made it...once on 4th and 6 where we otherwise would have punted, and it turned out to be the difference in the game as we kicked a FG on that drive. That's another situation where Lady Luck was shining on us.
We can't complain about our luck. In addition to getting a free 3 points because our punter was injured, we got bailed out by the Jets with penalties a bunch in that game. The Jets drew 12 flags, we had just 5.
There's not much we can take away from that game. Obviously, our special teams were horrible, our defense gave up way too much yardage on 3rd/4th and long, Geno didn't look good at all, our running game sucked especially in short yardage...but we won. Put that one behind us.
The Cards lost today, so we have a one game lead in our division going into Glendale next weekend. I'm making my annual trip to Las Vegas next week, so at least I can wear my colors with some degree of pride. I'm not as optimistic about the rest of the season as I was before this game. There's no way we're going to get anywhere if we don't improve our short yardage game. it's been a problem all season.

On the ensuing KO we fumbled the return and put the Jets at the 27, and yes the defense gave up another TD on a short field, but after that drive, they clamped the Jets down.
They held the offense to 2 TDS
Held the Jets Passing to 185 yards
Held the Jets Rushing to 89 yards
Had the big Pick 6, and blanked them the entire 2nd half. I think it's clear our defense is our biggest strength and gives me hope we clinch this division. It still wont be easy, and our offense didn't play great, but they didn't play bad. The special teams was the massive failure in this game.

I would so love to get a stud QB while JSN and DK are in their prime who can truly use the short and long game with these two receivers. We're not able to use D.K. moonshot speed and skills enough. JSN is better than Lockett taking nothing away from Lockett. That kid is amazing.

Yeah, Metcalf had another disappointing game. He was non-existent in the first half, didn't make a single catch. For the game, he was targeted 9 times and came up with just 4 of them. On one reception, he bobbled it, which caused him to come up short of a first down, and on another, he failed to turn up field and get the extra yard he needed for a first down. At one point, he comes out of the game with what appeared to be a serious leg injury then suddenly bolts onto the field like Superman out of a phone booth as if nothing happened.
This week, he had 4 catches for 66 yards, no TD's. Last week, he had 4 catches for 59 yards, no TD's. He hasn't scored a TD since Week 7 against the Falcons. He hasn't had a 100-yard receiving game since Week 4 vs. the Lions. Whether it's our scheme, if he has a nagging injury, or whatever, he's not producing.
