Week 8 New York Jets Team Grades
The New York Jets suffered their worst
loss of the season on Sunday to the AFC North Cincinnati Bengals, who
dominated the Jets, and handed them their fourth loss of the season.
The Jets record now half way through the season is (4-4), which is a
bit better than most people probably would have predicted at this
point.
Passing Offense Grade (F)
Sunday was not an easy day for the Jets
passing offense led by Geno Smith, who had one of his bad games
against the Bengals good defense. Smith finished throwing for 159
yards on 20 for 30 passing, but the big problems for Smith were the
two interceptions he threw, both of which were returned for
touchdowns. To Smith's defense one of the interception might not have
been his fault, as there was a clear mis-communication between him
and Jeremy Kerley. The poor play from Smith, and the lopsided score
led to Matt Simms getting some action, and Simms finished up in mop
up time throwing for 17 yards on three for seven passing. The one
bright spot for the passing offense was the nice game put together by
David Nelson, who caught eight passes for 80 yards.
