-With a game against the Buffalo Bills Thursday night, the Jets won’t have much time to get over Sunday’s narrow loss. “On the busted coverage [for a 54-yard touchdown], I’m supposed to get help”. We got down there plenty.
-Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn’t think his slow start is a result of his inactive offseason. Play action and a respectable running game will have to be present to keep the Jets defensive front from pinning their ears back.
After getting down to the 4 on its next drive, NY stalled with two incompletions to Brandon Marshall and a catch for no yards by Bilal Powell. The Jets were hurt by drives sputtering in the red zone and having to settle for field-goal attempts rather than touchdowns. “Poor execution. It’s something we pride ourselves on”. Didnt get it done. The first missed extra point in Folk’s career and a blocked 22-yard attempt came back to haunt the Jets (0-1). Linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin added a seventh sack, but I think the fact that the defensive front three produced six sacks says a lot about how porous the Bengals’ interior defensive line was. “I feel like I let the team down. We just didn’t get it done”.
Calvin Pryor The Jets may choose a different coverage option knowing Clay’s athleticism in the pass game. Following a NY punt, Dalton capitalized on a secondary miscommunication and hit Green one-on-one against Revis 54 yards to put his team up three.
The Jets were flagged for illegal formation on Nugent’s field goal, which came together in frantic, fire drill fashion as the Bengals who were out of timeouts, sprinted on to the field. His yardage total in one game with Cincinnati would have been his second-best output with New England a year ago, so long-term optimism is now replacing the skepticism. It also gave the Jets terrific field position with just over 9 minutes left, putting the ball at their 42.
Revis looking overmatched against Green sparked memories of his struggles against receivers like Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins in 2015 along with discussion about whether the Jets need to change the way they deploy Revis on a weekly basis.
Mike Nugent was both the hero and villain in the game going 3 for 4 in field goals. At the end, we needed to make a play. After an 11-play, 63-yard drive, the Cardinals would set up for a game-winning field goal with 41 seconds remaining, but the 47-yarder would miss wide left and the Patriots would escape with the win.
Andy Dalton overcame an interception and being sacked seven times, the highest in his career, to lead the Bengals offense. All three phases came up short, but the secondary was one of the biggest offenders. We went over it as a coaching staff … and went over every play. “Great team effort by everybody”. And with a chance to jump-start the final drive, he dropped a Fitzpatrick pass deep over the middle that was slightly behind him.
Josh Shaw sealed the victory with an interception of Ryan Fitzpatrick in the closing seconds, helping Cincinnati improve to 7-7 in openers under coach Marvin Lewis.

“You just have to move on to the next kick”, Folk said.
