"Gang Green found a new way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on Sunday, pulling off an improbable comeback to take a late lead on a Will McDonald IV blocked field goal, only to have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers march down in the final minute and hit a game-winning field goal for the 29-27 victory. The Glenn era has started similarly to previous Jets regimes, with New York dropping to 0-3, and the concept of moral victories does nothing to improve the win column."
"Defense was supposed to be the Jets' strength, and Glenn was supposed to bolster it, considering he was responsible for rebuilding the Detroit Lions' shambolic unit into a force. Instead, New York recorded just one sack and two knockdowns on Baker Mayfield despite the Buccaneers missing three starters from their offensive line. The secondary play has been poor, the linebacking corps has been mediocre, and there is an alarming lack of depth."
New York rallied to take a late lead after a Will McDonald IV blocked field goal but surrendered a final-minute touchdown opportunity and lost 29-27 to Tampa Bay. The loss dropped the Jets to 0-3 and mirrored past late-game defensive collapses earlier this season. The defense produced just one sack and two knockdowns on Baker Mayfield despite the Buccaneers missing three offensive-line starters. Secondary play and the linebacking corps have been subpar, and depth concerns are apparent. Aaron Glenn expressed confidence in the roster and coaching staff while acknowledging a need to improve quickly over the upcoming stretch of games.
