The Jets have reached the level of misery "Luke Falk is our quarterback"

The Jets will face the Patriots next week. For all the shocking information that will follow, keep it in the forefront of your mind. Decrepit, depressing and discouraging like the Jets' 23-3 defeat against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night football But what is most painful is that their season is almost worse.

Last year, the New York Jets fell to the Cleveland Browns. Thursday Football during the third week, the Browns ended their run of almost two years without a win with a win back. In a way, the Monday night defeat was worse for the Jets than losing to one of the most unlucky teams in the history of the NFL. The slow-motion catastrophe in New York began last Tuesday, when the Jets cut kicker Kaare Vedvik and signed Sam Ficken, their fourth kicker of the year. On Wednesday, quarterback Sam Darnold was sent home after a training session with strep throat. On Thursday it was revealed that Darnold had a mono, not a sore throat, and that if he played football, his spleen could break. Nothing says that the New York Jets look a lot like this ESPN chart:

The absence of Darnold has made Trevor Siemian, a seventh-round pick that Broncos GM and the famous bad quarterback evaluator John Elway formed in 2015, the quarterback starting from New York. MNF Announcer Joe Tessitore said a Jets staff member said, "We're not watching [Siemian] As a substitute, we consider him a starter who happens to be in the same team as Sam Darnold. Maybe this way of thinking is how Jets coaches fall asleep at night. We do not consider the Jets as a terrible team, we consider them a competitor of the Super Bowl who happens to be in the same division as the Patriots..

Siemian was injured in the ankle in the middle of the second quarter by a late touchdown by Cleveland defender Myles Garrett, while the Browns led 13-0. He had to have an MRI test on Tuesday morning. Before the injury, Siemian completed three passes in six attempts for three yards in the pass. It's an average of 0.5 meters per pass. Factor in both sacks he caught who lost 17 yards, and the average Siemian recoil lost 1.75 yards. At over a third of the game, the Jets had 1 meter. Enter quarterback Luke Falk, a sixth round pick in 2018 that followed Gase from Miami to New York this year. Falk had 198 yards on 20 out of 25 passes, although Cleveland felt insurmountable from the two-point mark from the moment Falk came in.

The Jets' seven consecutive home defeats are the longest winning streak in the NFL. The team has 14 players that the team has recruited, the least in the league. the Monday night football graphic team it's mocked the inability of the team to find a competent kicker. Trumaine Johnson, who has a contract with the team for $ 45 million over the last three years of the off-season, has been suspended. The offensive line yielded four sacks and even more shots to Garrett throughout the match. Damien Woody, former Jets offensive lineman and analyst at ESPN tweeted"It's about as bad [an offensive line] play that I saw. "

Joe Namath, the legend of the Jets, pronounced even harsher words, even if it has nothing to do with the match. Earlier on Monday, the Jets tweeted happy birthday to Bennett Jackson, but the team then cut Jackson at hours later and removed the tweet. Namath quotes-tweeted a comment with his thoughts on the situation during Monday night football.

"The first words Don Maynard heard at Shea Stadium in 1965 were:" Son, it's a matter of coolness, "said Namath. wrote. "When they're done with you, they will not even say goodbye to you." Of course, this case may have changed. Just not birthdays. "

There were two positives for the Jets on Monday. Their defense, led by former Browns coordinator Gregg Williams, embarrassed the Browns offensive line for much of the night and angered Cleveland's Baker Mayfield quarter early and often. While the final score looked like an explosion, the match was much tighter than it seemed and the Jets' defense was a greater threat to score than the attack for the second week in a row. . Running back Le'Veon Bell, who looked great on Monday, always seemed to be looking for more distance, even when the game was out of reach. Bell finished with 21 runs for 68 yards and a 3.2 yard per run score far better than the one presented.

But these two bright spots made the Jets fail late. Williams' defense was burned by Odell Beckham Jr. on Beckham's homecoming, which was matched by a rematch against Williams. Beckham says that he wanted to hurt him in the 2017 preparatory game where he sprained his ankle. Beckham escaped for a 89-yard touchdown at the end of the third quarter and he had a striking one-handed grip along the sideline in Cleveland, but he missed a third goal and three games later because the referees pulled him off the court for his tinted visor.

Bell nearly reduced the Browns' lead to 23-10 with 17 yards rushing midway through the fourth quarter, but Browns linebacker Joe Schobert put his hat on the head and l? blew up. in the air. The ball landed in the arms of Browns T.J. Carrie's cornerback.

Cleveland has not played well by an effort of imagination. Mayfield looked nervous, throwing an interception and missing a few passes. Williams blitz clearly put Mayfield in the head: he would get rid of the ball quickly, even if he had good protection to avoid a hit. Their offensive line always looks porous. Cleveland's next five games are all against teams that started 2-0, including the Rams on Sunday evening football next week.

But their schedule is not comparable to the Jets, which, if you remember, will face the Patriots next week in Foxborough. The Jets will be able to heal their wounds after this game in Week 4, but they will then face the Eagles, Cowboys and Patriots. again. This second match of the Patriots is also on Monday night football. As bad as the Jets season and as weak as Monday, do not forget that this team is not even close to the bottom.
