00:00I thought if the Jets won that football game, they'd go out and get Devontae Adams the next
00:04day or the next couple days and away they would go.
00:07They lost that football game to the Buffalo Bills and then went out and made that move.
00:13So what do you think about the New York Jets currently sitting now at 2-4 on the season?
00:18Here's the tough part about it because we do want to analyze what actually happened
00:22in those previous weeks.
00:24If things went okay, the New York Jets would actually have a positive record.
00:29Forget about the 49ers game.
00:30They got lost.
00:31They were outclassed.
00:32They were just blasted in that game.
00:33They beat the Titans and they beat the Patriots.
00:35Two teams you're supposed to beat.
00:36The Titans are terrible and so are the Patriots.
00:38So they're 2-1 on the season.
00:40Then they come up and play Broncos, Vikings, and Bills.
00:44The Broncos, decent football team I think we could say now.
00:47The Vikings, very good football team.
00:48The Bills, a competent football team.
00:51They shouldn't have lost those three games.
00:53You can make an argument that they should have at least went 2-1.
00:57You can even make an outside argument they should have won all three of those football
01:02games.
01:03If Aaron Rodgers did anything against the Broncos, they would have won.
01:07If Greg Zerlein would have made a field goal in that Broncos game, they would have won
01:11that game.
01:12Fast forward to the Vikings game, which is overseas in the UK.
01:15Aaron Rodgers was the single reason they lost that football game.
01:18Nobody else.
01:19Through two of the worst interceptions you're ever going to see, through another interception
01:23which directly resulted in points because it was a pick six, and then the final drive
01:27of the game where Garrett Wilson just stoned his guy on a double move.
01:30Aaron Rodgers had one of the worst throws of his career that didn't even come close.
01:34It would have been a walk-in touchdown.
01:36He was the reason they lost that.
01:37The Buffalo Bills game, Rodgers wasn't the reason they lost that game.
01:40Their kicker absolutely stunk.
01:41Their defense and offense were making too many penalties and they lost.
01:44But you could make an argument of those three games, no worse than 2-1.
01:49So then would the outlook be a little bit different for the New York Jets?
01:52Possibly so.
01:53Now we're looking at the Jets going on Sunday Night Football to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
01:57We'll talk about that hot topic in just a little bit with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.
02:02But they're favored to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
02:05They're going to be favored to beat the New England Patriots.
02:08They'll be favored to beat the Cardinals, even though that game is on the road.
02:11They'll be favored against the Colts at home.
02:13They'll be favored against the Seahawks at home.
02:14And by that time, December, when the Dolphins roll around, we're expecting Chua Tagovailoa
02:19to get back.
02:20They probably will be an underdog in that game, depending on what the Miami Dolphins
02:23have done over the past couple of weeks.
02:24Are they still involved in the playoff process?
02:26You get it.
02:27But there sometimes is a time to buy in on the Jets.
02:30I just don't think I can actually do that, though.
02:32Because if you listen to me on the SportsGrid network at any time previous, I thought it
02:36was the Buffalo Bills in the offseason.
02:39The more I take a look at that Buffalo Bills roster over the offseason, you know what?
02:42I actually think I can get decent football play out of Aaron Rodgers, because that's
02:45all we're asking for.
02:47I don't think anybody was saying, Aaron, I need you to go back to 2012 with the Green
02:50Bay Packers and be that type of athlete with that type of arm and get after it.
02:54You just wanted, from a Jets perspective, we have a great defense that can win a World
02:57Championship.
02:58Now we just need the quarterback that can play big in big spots and just make the right
03:03decisions in the pocket.
03:04You haven't gotten that yet.
03:05But I just told you, there's a lot of these games where they're going to be favorites
03:08here.
03:09And there's a lot of talent on that roster.
03:11Garrett Wilson, Devontae Adams.
03:14That's a good one-two punch you're going to get in the NFL at the wide receiver position.
03:20That's a line that's a little bit better than last year.
03:21I'm going to give them marginal, right?
03:23Because even though they rebuilt it, spent a lot of money, still Aaron Rodgers gets buried
03:26a little bit too much.
03:28Two quality running backs and a defense you can lean on.
03:31This team is supposed to make the playoffs, but they also went from as a favorite to make
03:35the playoffs with that loss to the Buffalo Bills, as an underdog to make the playoffs.
03:39So I see people chatting up there in the chat box about the Jets at this point.
03:44I just don't know if I want to double down on the Jets yet.
03:48They did make a good move in getting Devontae Adams.
03:51I didn't think it was really going to make a difference on the season, whether or not
03:54they can win it all.
03:55But let's just say they do stay healthy and play decent football and make the playoffs.
03:59At that point, I'm really going to doubt Aaron Rodgers, those running backs, those wide receivers,
04:04and the capabilities of that defense.
04:06Now if you really want me to start to turn the page on the New York Jets and say, you
04:09know what, Donnie, from going from liking the Jets to hating the Jets, to maybe even
04:13back liking the Jets, get Hasan Reddick back on that team.
04:18You're all in at this point right now.
04:19Terry Jones isn't all in, no matter how much he told you in the offseason.
04:22The New York Jets, they're all in right now, and Woody Johnson's telling you as much.
04:25Now the most talented roster, he stated, in 25 years being with the New York Jets, and
04:30I agree with that.
04:31They are really talented.
04:32Get Hasan Reddick, get that pass rush cranked up, and maybe you can catch lightning in a
04:36bottle.
04:37I'm not willing to bet on it right now, but I certainly can see it happen.
