Brandon Marshall, the Jets most talented offensive weapon, was invisible in Sunday’s loss.

In the first Jets-Bills game previous year, these were Watkins’ numbers when Revis covered him: three catches on seven targets for 14 yards, with two drops.
Revis’ Jets and Ryan’s Bills will face off Thursday night in a divisional game that holds significance in many ways, shapes and forms. Uzomah. Mike Nugent would nail a 33-yard field goal a couple plays later to cut the deficit to four.
The Jets drove to the Bengals 1 on their next possession, but stalled, leaving it to Folk to kick a 20-yard field goal to make it 20-19. Part of that is due to Fitz getting the ball out of his hands and maneuvering out of risky situations, but that’s more than you might have expected from this unit going up against a tough Bengals D-line. “Getting out there, getting set”. “Unless you have Buffalo questions, I ain’t gonna be here for long”.
The only scoring in the first quarter came with a Baltimore 50-yard field goal with just 50 seconds remaining in the period.
The New York Jets started their season on the wrong foot yesterday, losing 23-22 to the Cincinnati Bengals at Metlife Stadium. Fitzpatrick doesn’t necessarily think that adds any pressure on the Jets heading into their game against the Bills. “We didn’t get the job done”. We went over it in the coaching staff meeting.
NY led 22-20 before the Bengals connected on a 47-yard field goal with 54 seconds remaining.
AJ Green has always been considered as one of NFL’s Top Wideouts, but maybe it’s time for us to talk about him as the best WR in the league. NY put pressure on him all game long, sacking the quarterback seven times for a loss of 42 total yards.
Let’s get something straight: For all the big names and big money allocated to the unit, the 2016 Jets defense has not established itself as elite. “Great team effort by everybody”.
“We’ve got to score touchdowns”, Fitzpatrick said. “You never know what play it’s going to be that determines the outcome of the game”.
Bowles even did his best Bill Belichick imitation when he declared “We’ve moved on to Buffalo” in refusing to answer questions about cornerback Darrelle Revis’ poor performance against A.J. Green, who racked up 12 catches for 180 yards and one touchdown while mostly lining up against Revis. In a unusual twist, he also rushed for 31 yards – but only on 10 carries – in last year’s season opener against San Francisco.
“I can take a punch on the chin”, Revis said. He finished with three total tackles, one of which was a huge one on a third down as the Jets were looking to get in the end zone to force the field goal attempt that was blocked by Hunt.
“We had a bunch of times to win the ballgame offensively, defensively and on special teams”, Jets head coach Todd Bowles said. We have to regroup. Matt Forte gained 3 yards on a run and Marshall had a 4-yard catch, but Bilal Powell gained just 2 yards on third-and-3 from the 8.
The Jets were criticised for their weak schedule being the main factor in their 10-6 record last season. The Jets’ inactives were led by rookie OLB Jordan Jenkins (calf), who was listed as the starter on the depth chart. The Bengals’ inactives were led by TE Tyler Eifert (ankle), who is recovering from an injury sustained in the Pro Bowl.

“No, I’m fine, man”, he said.
