It feels like the offensive line is the real Achilles heel of this team

Why do jets overlook the tackle weakness. They got 1 QB hurt and will likely get Wilson hurt as well.

O-line is fucked, in JetsLand. Of course Zach Wilson is gonna struggle, when the O-line is getting pushed five yards backward immediately off the snap.

Duane Brown is done. Move Mekhi back to LT and let any of the other RT options play there. They're all better at RT than Brown is at LT.

I love how no one ever mentions that the Jets O line is horrendous. The injury to Rodgers was the best thing that could have happened to him. All we would be hearing right now is that Rodgers is washed.

I'm as devastated over what this season will be as anyone... but I really don't think you can put that whole game on Zac. When he had ANY protection to make a throw quickly, he was actually looking improved. Those interceptions came in basically garbage time when the Jets were down 3 scores and he was trying to force a miracle. The offensive line is just MISERABLE.

“Paying condolences to me as if it was a family member” 😂 That sums up what it was like for the Jets fans

Let's be honest thought Rich: Aaron Rodgers was never gonna make it through a full season with this offensive line anyway. If anything, maybe four snaps gave us the quick band aid rip we needed rather than seeing him go down after we started winning a bunch of games.

To fans like Rich, the offensive line only mattered because it didn't protect Rodgers. Now that Zach's in, if you can't win the game with your arm with an even tougher pass rush, you're not ready.

I usually side with rich but he's wrong on this one. Zach was pressured on 58% of his dropbacks, receivers were dropping good passes, and those INTs came late when Zach was trying to make something happen. I would be the first to say this was Zach's fault but it wasn't. We just got beat by arguably the best team in the NFL

I don't get why people are all over Zach for getting exposed by one of the best teams in the league. Wilson played decent the 1st half, and the Dallas Defense continued to bully the whole jets offense in the 2nd half.

Not once did I hear anyone talk about how terrible that offensive line was. A lot of times Zach had no time to do anything at all. It wasn't until the 4th quarter down by 20 points he started trying to force things & threw those pics.

Being a QB in the draft and getting the call from the Jets seems like a very bad omen for the player!!

You can’t blame Zach for yesterdays game. The interceptions were hero ball with the jets trying to narrow a game that escaped them Penalties, defense not holding a 3rd down, no run game to the right side, or not running similiar pass plays over the middle like the garret Wilson would have made this a game. But to all Jet fans cowboys are a superbowl caliber team but for next week it’s time we finally have our perfect game against the patriots who have had our number for a decade

Starting to feel sorry for Zach. He has really been humbled and actually sounds like he's learning...

Cowboys fan here: The Jets should not have abandoned the run. Especially when there are not 1, but 2 studs in the backfield. It would have taken the pressure off the QB and not let him run for his life forcing throws and making mistakes. This isn't on Zak Wilson, it's on the play calling.

Zach was not good but did these guys watch the game? Defense was not good, running game was terrible, offensive line was a turnstile. They got dominated in every phase. But let’s only blame Zach.

Bringing in Hackett was their mistake. With both Hackett and Rogers being on the same page both thought it'd be easy to get everyone else on board. In the meantime, the shortcut of doing that didn't give anyone pause to think of what may happen if an aging QB gets hurt. Oh yeah, let's not forget not having a plan to protect your aging QB. You bet your butt the lack of situation awareness on the Jets is baked in.

Hackett left Denver for a reason. Zach should have had 6 key plays he and the line were fine with. A TE should have been assigned the entire game to double team Parsons. The Jets should not have mentioned Hall was on a set carry count this week. AND---HACKETT MUST LEARN TO ADJUST AT HALFTIME!!!

I honestly think your first problem to solve is the offensive line. That O' line already got Rogers hurt. Only a matter of time before they get Zack hurt.

Zach played relatively well in the first half. Those INTs are garbage time. Maybe it's something to do with the OL being bottom tier trash for over a decade now. Beat the Pats, go 2-0 in the division. That's literally all that matters right now. Beat the Pats at home.

I don't like the Cowboys but I don't think any quarterback would have won behind this offensive line. Parsons might be the best defensive player since Larence Taylor. I have to admit Dallas is the best NFL team in football. That defense is awesome.

Forget QB situation they have O line situation

Genuine question for any Jets fan; with the Bills and Dallas in the first 2 games, would you have taken a 1-1 start even with AR8 at QB? I agree that the Jets have problems and a backup QB is a priority, but the Pats game looks like an real opportunity to right the ship.

Opening up & blaming Zach and saying he looked lost all game & they were dedicated to the pass not the run makes me think he didn’t even watch the game - they would have a good run, then a run for loss - they would have a good pass followed by getting stuffed on 3rd and short - Breece dropped at least 2 screen passes - ZW had one bad throw the entire first half - operated a magnificent 2 minute drill (not looking lost) would have connected with GW for a TD but arm got hit - that same first half the defense got marched on - couldn’t get out of 3rd and long - dropped a pick 6 and got worked by the ref’s - second have continued with drops and bad runs and the defense finally got gassed - ZW didn’t throw the first pick until they were down 18 in the 4th and running for his life - so to open the segment dunking on Zach & saying he was lost, the defense was bad but it’s on the QB, what freaking game did you watch? This was also on the road against a top 3 defense on a short week with the left side of line leakier than a screen door on a submarine - this was a team loss - ZW was actually a bright spot in the first half - the play calling - the run blocking - missed opportunities - bland defensive performance are more to blame - yeah he lost it at the end and it’s concerning - RB ran the wrong route on second INT & 3rd int was a 50-50 deep ball to GW - fine kid can improve - but this was a team and coaching loss through and through

No QB couldve played well being pressured like that

The O-line looked like they were on roller-skates and they got no push up front at all. Zach led the team in carries. You're basically telegraphing it to the opposition to just rush the passer. Btw, Zach played very well up until he was asked to carry the team on his back and do something that no other Jets QB had ever done. NYJ have never won a road game when down by 14 past half-time. Now they are expecting Zach to do this? With the resources spent on the offensive line, it still looks like a mess. Brown is a shell of himself, and Tomlinson looks like he forgot to play LG after leaving the 49'ers. Connor McGovern had arguably his worst game as a Jet and AVT was getting manhandled and Becton had multiple penalties. Zach has his issues, but he looks improved, but you can't expect him to carry the team when the line is collapsing on him in 2 seconds.

Dead wrong this time Rich. This game was NOT on Zach. Why are you blaming him when the O-line statistics show 3 of line were LAST in the NFL, and the other 2 were in the bottom 10 and bottom 20 out of 54???Give the kid a break.

Unfortunately that’s football. Your QB could be facing the hardest team in the NFL (we still don’t know) but if you don’t have the best help and don’t okay amazingly, the fans and media with chew you up and spit you out. Poor Rich

Rich, you can’t pin this on Zach being “unready”. Rodgers would have gotten absolutely crunched yesterday, we don’t win that game regardless who’s behind center when we can’t block

the rant against Wilson is quite unfair given how good the Cowboy's defense is. Most teams are not going to be able to dropback against the Cowboys. The failure is Hackett's here for calling so few running plays. Even against Belichick is not going to be a good indicator. The Dolphins didnt light it up yesterday against the patriots. Wilson is starting to be a victim of perception where he gets no break/pass from no one.

I agree with many comments here that this is really a o-line and coaching issue. I think Wilson looked as good as he could with a failure of an o-line.

2 things can be true at the same time. We have a horrible O-line AND Zach is still not ready. They play off each other as well.

Zack Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are a symptom of the actual problem. The offensive line couldn't block a beer fart.

When the season is over we will look back and say," Zach wasn't so bad after all. Since no one else did much better."

4 carries though, that OC has got to be dressed down. unbelievable

As a Raiders fan ,Aaron Rodgers fan and Routing for the Jets this year. I feel Jets fans pain

Props to Rich for being honest on his platform.

Broncos fan here. Hacket not calling any run plays was the problem.

Give Zack a chance. Run the ball. What the heck? I thought they would use the incredible RBs to protect Zack. But Breece gets 4 touches.

I am actually wondering if Rich actually watched the game. I have bashed Zach Wilson a ton since last year but he was actually pretty good for 3 quarters considering he had 1 second to throw on 40-50% of the the drop backs. Rich freaking out over one game is kind of nuts

Still got them in your top 10 teams, Rich? As a Broncos fan, Hackett is a hack. Broncos may still suck, but they look way better doing it.

Nathaniel Hackett was not the primary playcaller in Green Bay for a reason and got fired in Denver for a reason.

How the hell do you blame this game on Zach when they couldn’t protect Michael Vick if they had him.

It’s a punch in the gut to the Jets team when they know Zach Wilson is under center they know they have no shot they should get Wentz just 2 years ago he threw 26TD to only 6 INT with the Colts

Rich I took screenshots of each passing play at 2 seconds. Do that and you sill see a superb performance. You will see something like 17/27 260 yards 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. The last couple of interceptions would never have happened. Throw in the drops and it would be 19/27 and 290 yards or more and 3 touchdowns or more. What is the completion pct of passes where the QB had 2 seconds to pass? And even with that performance they might have lost.

Hmmm it’s almost like us broncos fans were warning you about the Nathaniel Hackett experience

Got to protect your QB!!!

I tried to warn you Jets fans it's even worse than you thought, you fell into the same trap Denver did last year. Your OC Hackett has a very complex scheme and the two QBs that have been in it struggled mightily in their first season in his scheme. Rodgers is one, he had one of his worst seasons in Hackett's first season as GB offensive coordinator (the pay off was Rodgers back to back MVPs once he mastered the scheme). Russel Wilson was the other last season. There's just no way Zach Wilson is going to be able to adjust this season.

Football has always been a difficult sport for the Jets. I don't care who they got on the team, its just been difficult😔✈️✈️✈️

I think Nathaniel Hackett could work with Rodgers, but he feels like the WORST guy to try and salvage an offense out of Zach Wilson

No matter what happens I need GW to get 1800 yards. Like Rich said I love Garett Wilson.

Went from Super Bowl aspirations to…with the first pick in the draft

Soon as Aaron went down their season was over and that’s a shame because Wilson is still too inexperienced to know what he is doing

Considering how Zach had to scramble and made some impressive runs... think Rodgers can do that, healthy at 39 pushing 40? It's the O LINE!!!

Before the season started weveryone said if we could be 3 - 3 after the first six games, things would get easier. we are 1 - 1 last time I checked. If you want to look at the stat line and blame it all on Zac, that's your prerogative. I saw a quarterback who looks a whole lot different in the pocket than he did last year. For him to be the leading rusher means he was running in the right direction. Jordan Love is getting much love because he sat behind Aaron Rodgers. Well Zac has picked something up in the last 5 months. Lets shore up this line, beat New England and Denver and we will be 3 - 3 after the first six.

I sure miss the days of Richard Todd, Freeman McNeil and lack of the immediate disappointment. Jets are gonna Jets.

Rich's obsession with the JETS is reaching Skip Bayless/Dallas levels. Pretty soon every episode is going to have an hour or so devoted solely to talking about them.

Horrible take by Rich here. The saying “Zach isn’t ready” was not applicable to the game yesterday. That d-line was camping in his lap. What he was able to accomplish with that being the case is a bright star of improvement. It’s obvious Rich didn’t watch the same game and is just looking at the box stats…

Zach played solid this game

Brady and mahomes would’ve struggled behind this trash line yesterday. This isn’t Wilson’s fault at all. He really does look like he’s seeing the field better than before. This is your fandom talking more than sober analysis. Give the kid a week or two to adjust to the offense that was designed for rodgers and not him. And blame this OC where he deserves blame for the terrible play calling and blame the organization as a whole for not addressing their offensive line issues.

Great words from Garrett Wilson on behalf of Zach Wilson...

The fact that Russel Wilson looks actually decent this season makes me think Hackett has some responsibility tbh

Did we watch the same game? We threw because we couldn’t possess the ball all game. We couldn’t possess the ball all game because we couldn’t run and couldn’t block. Zach had no time to throw and when he did receivers were dropping balls left and right. All those passing plays were drawn up trying to either end the half or come back from down 20 in garbage time. This was total domination by the Cowboys.

I really enjoy these clips. That being said, why is there a hum whenever Rich speaks? Noise gate covering up some bad hum coming from something in the audio chain.

The kid did not play well, that's for sure. But Rich, you are correct - the coaching sucked. It's like they're trying to set him up to fail. No run game. No screen game. Consequently no play-action. Look at what the Eagles did when the Vikings were shutting down their offense AFTER ONLY THREE SERIES! The coaches need to be able to make obvious adjustments to help their players be in better positions.

Super cold take from Rich. Top defense in the nfl against the Jets' midget football league O-line. Everyone in the comments pointed this out, but it's fun for Rich to pile on Zach, I guess. He looked good on the three dropbacks in which he wasn't pressured. Parsons is unbelievable. Also, Zach said, "I think I'm seeing the field better," because he can't directly say the O-line sucks; e.g., when Zach knew Garrett was going to the corner of the endzone before he cut left, but Zach's hand was hit on the throw. No time to act on what he sees. He's trying to be a good leader. End of rant. Can't wait for the next negative video clip.

Slow down Rich, remember the game plan was 1) Jets D is elite! - we'll get you the ball back and provide the opportunities for you on a shorter field, force some TOs, etc. Where was that D? Dallas had it 42 minutes converted 3rd down after 3rd down, dropped an INT, 2) We'll use our running attack so Zach doesn't have to do it all...uh...duh...Dallas is gonna stack the box to make Zach throw and they got stuffed, turns out our OL isn't that great at run blocking either - btw...I do think the Jets get that TD before half to GW if Zach doesn't get that ball tipped and it's a little different game going into half. 3) Minus points 1 & 2 ----yeah it did come down to Zach and by that point Dallas D is teeing off. I get the pain, and you expect it to click right now or never for the kid, but that's NOT the recipe for winning right now, and you can't blame it all on him. Please let me know what other back-up QBs are thriving right now.

Jets getting that great number two pick for us.

Defense was giving them HELL But this is 110% on coaching.

Season gonna go by fast

These Jets guys wear their hearts on their sleeves. I sort of love them for that.

The impression I have is that the Jets had an offensive game plan coming into this game, but it wasn't a game plan specifically for this Dallas defense. Any team that really wants to compete with Dallas right now is going to have to scheme up a way to slow Parsons and the Cowboys stunts down. Otherwise running your offense will be difficult to almost impossible.

Y’all getting the Hacket special. As a Broncos fan I feel for you.

Garrett Wilson, man, what a great kid.

Excellent breakdown of the game. Imagine if Jets offensive game plan was as good as Cowboys?

Jets had 4 three and outs, Cowboys had 3. The story line of the Jets having three and out after three and out over and over and just over taxing the defense is over played.

“4 snaps and 75 seconds” is the new “butt-fumble”

Zach Wilson is not why they lost. He played well, he struggled trying to make the plays but the Cowboys were in his face the whole game. Not his fault at all. Come on man. Wilson played solid, we just got beat!

Anyone who’s played any football knows that if your line is getting destroyed, nothing good can happen.

Zach Wilson looks like the High School quarterback in a musical

As a cowboy fan I’ll say Wilson didn’t do anything wrong; the jets were overmatched up front, played from behind the entire game, OC abandoned the run completely. It’s not like the 3 picks is why Dallas got a big lead, the 3 picks happened when they were down big and running out of time so he had to take chances. I’d rather a qb go down swinging like that then playing cautious.

The Jets should have drafted a QB this year.

We knew if the defense is playing out of their mind they would be totally doomed with Zach Wilson behind that O-Line.

Rich I love your commentary but it seems like you didn't even watch the game. Zach really didn't make any mistakes till the fourth quarter. If you think he was lost this game like last year your dead wrong.

Micah Parsons spent more time in the Jets backfield than Zach. It was that bad.

Garrett Wilson is a class act. How can u not root for that kid !

Man oh man. The turnaround from three weeks ago.

0:02 someone needs to gif this 😂😂😂😂

I feel your pain, Rich. I watched 40 years of my Saints battling year in and year out, always believing next year.... what a joy when Sean and Drew came to town. I follow your Jets waiting for just such a year, hang in there, it's right around the corner!🤎⚜️🖤😶‍🌫️🏈🏈🏈

Zach Wilson needs to be able to throw and be a part of the offense. It's not far to hand cuff him and then give him all the blame. Wilson needs to audible, call his own plays as necessary and give everyone the middle finger and let it fly. He has a great arm but is so muted and put in a straight jacket he wasn't allowed to participate. Defenses THRIVE OFF of that situation.

What a terrible take Rich. Throwing it all over the place? Zach was 5/9 at halftime, then they came out and fumbled first possession. The split was 12 runs/10 passes at that point. Breece dropped two screen passes and was hit behind the line on 3 of 4 carries. Not a gameplan problem, 100% a production problem. Zach was never given a chance until it was desperation time and the D had their ears pinned back, and you're out here saying the exact opposite.

I missed this game. When I saw Wilson’s stats I shook my head. Then I watched the game. To blame Wilson for this game is just an emotional response.

You got in right Rich. Run the ball, protect your vulnerable QB.

Rich, normally you are spot on with your takes but this ain't it. Zach wasn't good, but literally no one would be behind that line. Zach did what he had to do and once we got into a position where hero ball is our only hope, Zach stunk it up. Who would have thought the qb who had the problem trying to play hero ball playing hero ball is a bad idea! God I hate having to defend Zach but everyone was dropping throws when they hit them in chest. Lining a TE out wide when we're getting dogged in the trenches. Everybody stunk that game but Zach felt like he was the only one to get off the bus in offense. Bad video, didn't even talk about the OLine trying to kill every QB behind them.

this loss is on the offensive play calling...no question

Love it! A 40 year old QB and an offensive coordinator that couldn't make it one year before being run outta town, what could go wrong?

I wonder how many fans bought into season tickets for the first time in their lives solely because of Rodgers? I'm sure a chunk of those people couldn't really afford the tix but made some sacrifices (or maxed out their credit cards) in order to obtain them - and after 4 plays realized "I'm f'd. I couldn't really afford these but obtaining Rodgers was the push I needed to make me want to buy season tix."

I think you got to think of it as the Jets can move on from Wilson knowing that he isn't good, and they can let him go after 3 seasons instead of thinking he might be ready in year 4. Condolences on Roger's that was a rough injury.

I am sick and tired of feeling this way about my NYJ. 43 yrs of agony and defeat.
