“We just didn’t get it done”.

Against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, the New York Jets cornerback was burned by A.J.
Next came an incompletion to Decker, and then Josh Shaw picked off Fitzpatricks next throw to Decker the Jets only turnover of the game to seal it for the Bengals. The quarterback gauntlet coming up isn’t as formidable as the one from early 2014 (when they faced, in order, Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, Matthew Stafford, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady), but based on what we just witnessed even the meek Bills, Thursday’s foe, will give the Jets fits like they did twice previous year.
Revis understands an 0-2 start (against two AFC opponents, including a division foe) could send the Jets’ season into a tailspin.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Ryan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets kept getting close to the end zone.
Then, there is the reality of starting 0-2 in the National Football League and trying to make the playoffs. Seattle converted fourthand-1 early in the drive on a 7-yard run by Christine Michael, but the big play was Wilson finding Baldwin for 22 yards on a crossing route on fourth-and-4 near midfield.
“I don’t really buy into that”, he said.
“Now, we’ve just got to go out there and prove it”.
Neither do the Bills.
“I don’t know what pressure is”, Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall said.
Despite Revis’ blunders, the Jets still almost pulled off the win.
Trailing 20-16, NY went to the ground game in a big way, running the ball nine times in 10 plays to get down to the 2. Coach Marvin Lewis knows that the leaky line is one area that needs to improve starting next week against Pittsburgh. After the game was over, Revis recognized that he did not get his job done. “Our quarterback will not make it through the season if we give up seven sacks a week”. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 19 of 35 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns against one interception.
The defense continued to be locked in, as Steve McLendon got his first sack in green and white.
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton connected with Green on all 10 of his targets while Revis was in coverage, according to NFL Network data. Revis played “off” on first-and-10. It’s my honour going against him.
But none of that annoys me, and I assume every long-suffering Jet fan, is to the play-calling in the red zone, especially on that next-to-last drive when we all were sitting on our couches thinking the same thing.
Revis is the NFL’s highest-paid ($17 million) cornerback as if his Island were still exclusive. It was a rough start for Revis, who will have to take on Buffalo’s Sammy Watkins next.
Bowles said Revis has earned that right. In fact, you could easily make the case that the Jets’ home loss to Cincinnati was more impressive than the Giants’ win over a questionable Cowboys team. After all of their mistakes, the Jets were still in position to win the game. Poor execution. Something we pride ourselves in. Didn’t get it done. Folk had never missed an extra point in his career, going 312/312 before that PAT. Folk, however, would miss the extra point. While many fans will point to kicker Nick Folk leaving four points out on the field, the game was lost in other areas.

“I’m very confident”, he said. Uzomah. Mike Nugent would nail a 33-yard field goal a couple plays later to cut the deficit to four.
