Week 11: New York Jets Team Grades
November 17th, 2013
Final Score: Jets 14 Bills 37
The New York Jets coming off a great
win against the New Orleans Saints and a bye week headed up to
Buffalo with a chance to separate themselves a bit in the Wilda Card
standings, but laid a egg. The loss moves the Jets to (5-5) on the
season, and (1-4) on the road now, but if the season ended today they
would still have the sixth spot in the AFC Playoffs.
Passing Offense Grade (F)
The Jets passing offense was a total
disaster on Sunday, as basically nothing went right. Geno Smith had a
disaster of a game throwing for just 103 yards on eight for 23
passing with no touchdowns. The turnovers from Smith really did the
Jets in during the game, as he lost one fumble, threw three
interceptions, one of which was a pick six to Da'Norris Searcy, and
the other two were to Jairus Byrd. The Offensive Line didn’t do a
very good job protecting Smith either, as they allowed four sacks,
two of which were from Kyle Williams. One good thing for the passing
offense was that they got some weapons back for the playoff push, as
Santonio Holmes, Kellen Winslow, and Jeff Cumberland were all back in
the lineup. Matt Simms got some playing time late in the game and
looked good in junk time throwing for 60 yards on four for six
passing with a touchdown pass to Cumberland.
