Someone shared a joke. It was a photo of Tom Brady in a Jets uniform. Would New Englanders suddenly hate on Brady and would New Yorkers suddenly love Brady?

New Englanders would hate him for going to New York, New Yorkers would love him IF he won.

I just want to say the NYPD member who sang the National Anthem last night gave one of the best renditions I've ever heard before a game or any other time. I'd be happy if the Jets had her sing before every home game while making a sizeable donation to the 9/11 victims fund.
Zach Wilson did a lot of things badly in the game last weekend. I gotta say though, on the touchdown scoring drive, he, and the whole offensive squad, actually looked really good - it was like you just flipped a switch and suddenly it was a different offense out there. There was a lot of crisp execution, Wilson throwing into "tight windows" successfully, receivers making some tough catches and doing a good job of gaining yards after the catch. It wasn't just one lucky play, I think that was like a very nice 85 yard drive. As a Pats fan, I was worried - thought "Oh s---, one more possession like this and they lose". I don't see enough Jets to understand what's going on there, but it looked like there is potential, even with Wilson under center.
Jets played a helluva game last night. They came to play, and did. If it weren't for two dropped TD passes they would've won.

And a missed field goal attempt that at least may have led to OT.
Zach Wilson seemed like two different QBs in the game, it'll be interesting to see if the improvement shows up in their next game, fingers crossed that he'll show he's actually worthy of having been a #2 overall pick.
And the defense looked damn good last night!
If the team that played quarters 2,3, and 4 last night shows up in their remaining games , maybe the playoffs aren't yet out of reach?
I have to give Zach Wilson some real credit for not giving up. I know that both his play and his leadership have at times been sorely lacking, but, he's attracted such angry and fierce criticism from (nearly) all sides for quite awhile now... most recently Joe Namath was on the record, completely losing his s--- during his attacks on Wilson. Namath even said the NY head coach needed to be fired for supporting Wilson.
But Wilson is still going out there, and I didn't see the game, but apparently he put together a pretty good performance against a tough opponent in KC. I think a lot of people would have thrown in the towel by now - in fact maybe long before now, but he's still trying. I don't know where his career will ultimately go, but props to him for having the fortitude and self-belief to withstand withering criticism week after week and keep going.

He did, Jets also had 2 easy TD passes dropped and a missed FG against KC/
Congratulations to the Jets generally and to Nathaniel Hackett in particular for the win versus the Broncos today. I am not even a Jets fan, but it really bothered me when Sean Payton called Hackett the worst coach in history. Hopefully Payton gets asked about that now - two weeks after having one of the biggest losses in NFL history he loses a game to the guy he called the worst coach in history - karma strikes deep!
