, but they went 1-for-6 in the red zone and Braxton Berrios dropped a touchdown pass that would have given the Jets the lead with 1:43 left in the game. It is the ultimate what-if for the Jets: What if Berrios catches the ball? What if they win in Minnesota? Does that give them a momentum boost?
If Braxton Berrios hangs onto this potential touchdown in Week 13 against the one-and-done Vikings, does the Jets’ season end differently?That is what the Jets are left with now. Wondering “what if?” Watching the games on Wild Card weekend reaffirmed that the Jets easily could have been there. They were in the same class as most of the teams playing, but they couldn’t finish the job in the regular season.I always rewatch the Jets season once the offseason hits.
1. I forgot how many mistakes the Jets made in this game that really hurt them in the 24-9 loss. Michael Carter dropped a potential touchdown pass. Breece Hall had a fumble deep in Baltimore territory. Tyler Conklin fumbled away a first down. The defense had several breakdowns to allow long Lamar Jackson touchdown passes. It took a few weeks before the Jets really started clicking.
Breece Hall’s late fumble was an example of the mistakes the Jets made in Week 1 that they cleaned up as they evolved into a playoff contender.2. The defense was not a cohesive unit yet. There were several miscommunications on long plays that you did not see a few weeks later. Despite the defense not being great in this game, there were signs of what it could become. The defense was fast and flew around the field delivering big hits, something we would see all season.
3. A fair question to ask looking back is whether White should have been starting at the beginning of the season instead of Flacco as Wilson recovered from his knee surgery. Looking back, I think the answer is clearly yes. White played better than Flacco did when given the opportunity. I acknowledge this is a total second guess. Flacco had a better training camp than White did, and seemed at the time like an obvious choice to start.
