Its pretty unbelievable they are heading into the bye 5/0 - stunning actually.

Better hope they get Jones back after the bye; Chandler + Gaskin DO NOT EQUAL Aaron Jones

Jets have a very good D, especially the corners. I suspect Saleh did some stuff with them that lot of other secondaries could not.

Sam should shoulder some of lackadaisical play, but the WR's were tested by that Jets secondary and were handled pretty, pretty well. 

Coach McCardell is not a happy camper right now.

That would be part of my take as well.  Sauce was getting pretty unhappy with getting called for all his grabbiness tho.  I wonder if the refs were told to let them play so the London experience was better for viewers?

Also, jet lag can be a factor, no one is talking about how garbage Rodgers looked.  Sam was way better than 3 pick A-ron.

Jefferson and Addison weren't getting their typical separation. But I liked how we kept going after them to draw the DPIs. A little surprised we didn't adjust better and throw more to Nailor, Powell and Mundt underneath. I think KOC wanted to stay aggressive and not let the Jets dictate what his offense was going to do. Maybe a little too much though. 

The play call for Mullens fresh off the bench was ballsy.

Some data to support this:

Sam got popped in the ribs, I'll put up that maybe that had something to do with his poor play overall after that. But he did play poorly. Let's hope its just a short-term thing. He should be feeling good both knee and rib-wise in 2 weeks.

There was a lot more holding going on than what was called, I suspect you are right that the refs were just letting it go much of the time.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

The entire offense was off. Sam was off and when he made the throw we had drops. The run blocking got stuffed. Either Darnold or KOC forgot what a checkdown is, instead forcing everything downfield. KOC again got cute when he should have been running the clock (and the ball). Those 2 ST penalties were brutal and gave the Jets at least 7 points.

And what's with the weekly clown show with the play clock running out resulting in either burning TOs or a delay of game flag? Maddening.

Anyone taking bets as to whether Ingram gets a 2nd contract (or not)
