For now, we are learning that Robert Saleh isn’t afraid to absorb accountability. Results must follow, of course. But this is a start.
“Poor communication by the coaching staff,” Saleh said, insisting that he and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur should have made it abundantly clear to Wilson that his first, second and only options on the play should have been to hand the ball to Berrios, that all signs pointed to that choice was the best choice even before the game film provided back-up testimony.
Robert Saleh took accountability for the fourth-and-2 mishap at the end of the Jets’ 28-24 loss to the Buccaneers.His players were less harsh, Wilson saying that if he’d made the 2 yards — or if he’d handed it off and Berrios had gotten stuffed — the conversation would be different. Berrios put it even more simply: “I fully trust 2, he sees game through a different lens than I do. He makes that call and I’m riding with that call.
It was also the right decision. You get the first down, you’re going to beat the defending Super Bowl champions. Right decision, wrong call. They cancel each other out, and so the Jets are 4-12 instead of 5-11, with one more game left in Buffalo next week. He’s right.
But if we are judging him fairly, it is right to mention that the Jets have improved across the first 16 games and 17 weeks under his watch. It’s important to remember how hapless and helpless the team looked in September to fully appreciate the fact they outplayed the champs for 59 ½ minutes in January.
Joe Tryon-Shoyinka celebrates after stopping Zach Wilson on fourth-and-2 before the Buccaneers’ game-winning drive.The Jets themselves weren’t accepting moral victories — safety Elijah Riley probably put it best, saying, “It sounds cool but you’ve got to win those games; so what we played them close? You have to finish and get the win.” But that is a significant step forward out of the decade-long morass that has suffocated this franchise. Still, harsh as it sounds, that’s the easy part.

Brown walks away from Bucs; Brady rallies team past Jets | AP NewsEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Antonio Brown was apparently frustrated and angry. So he walked away. From the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And possibly his NFL career. The mercurial wide receiver was kicked off the Buccaneers after a bizarre, shirtless exit from the field before Tom Brady coolly led the Bucs on a 93-yard drive in the final minutes for a 28-24 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.
