Some big drops and missed throws. But the killer to me is throwing it on third down at the 1 yard line when the Vikes still have a timeout. You run it and at worst make them burn the TO. If you get to the 2-3 yard line on 1st down and can't punch it in with 4 runs then wtf is going on.
This game proved Mike White is high quality NFL QB. He’s our guy. Buffalo, Miami and Seattle are legit games we can win. Toss up games but we got a 50/60 chance of winning. That’s a conversation i like. Plus we are likely to win 10 games n make the playoffs. If the D can have 60 min solid game, we are beating teams down the road.
As long as we're cherry picking takes here, Wilson could have had 2 tds if he doesn't step out of bounds in the second half and has a quarter of a step more speed in the first
Heartbreaking loss but the past years would have been a beat down. Absolutely needed this win though because don't feel good about going into Buffalo next week.
Team was too focused on running down the clock the berrios drop drive. We weren't playing the bills and chiefs and the defense was playing amazing. The last drive had too much focus on scoring too far out, when they could have easily gotten closer.
Mike White with a 59.0 passer rating. Slightly better than Zach in the most recent Patriots game, worse than Zach‘s first Patriots game (even despite Zach’s 3 bone headed picks in the first Pats game). Other than the Zach’s Steelers game which was about the same as this game, Zach statistically out played Mike White every other start this year.
At the end of the day he’s got the confidence to drive the ball down the field in the clutch moments and the whole team is behind him. Zach has done that once against the Steelers and has been abysmal since. Mike white got us to the red zone 3 times in the 4th quarter alone while being down 17 at one point. I’m not saying he’s gonna be our franchise QB yet but the red zone play calling was fucking horrible. This fan base has to stop calling for a QB job after every loss it’s insane. He’s played two games this season and thrown for 300+ yards each game . When Zachs on the field our wide outs aren’t even touching the fuckin ball
ive never had a jets qb in my 23 years make throws like mike did today. yea he missed wilson but berrios has to catch that fuckkiingg balll. im 3 twiste teas deep and im not stopping until i pass out.
2ND AND GOAL FROM THE FUCKING 3/4 YARD LINE AND YOU THROW IT 3 TIMES????? HOLY FUCKING SHITTTTT!!!!! BURN THEIR TIMEOUTS AT THE VERY LEAST ONCE. MIKE IS 6'5 BRO QB SNEAK IT 3 FUCKING TIMES. MIKE PLAYED HIS ASS OFF.
You run it 3 times or QB sneak it 9/10 times it’s a touchdown. Piss poor redzone one play calling by MiLf today. Get a fucking analytics guy next to him.
Vikings fan here Gg! Mike White is legit! I'm rooting for you guys come play off time! We say FTP (Fuck the packers) do you guys say FTP? (Fuck the patriots) If so, FTP AND FTP!
Red zone calls were terrible. Lafleur still sucks. Mike makes the easy passes but Wilson makes some of the other ones. Need mike to scramble a few times. He doesn’t. Wilson would have. D put us behind too early. Stayed on the field too long. Offense was woken up too late. Great freaking game though. I’m a jets fan. Whatever qb we have is who I’m rooting for. But this one could have played out different I feel. Initiate downvoting.
I partially agree with your take. Except with ZW out there, he would have missed 70% of those first down check downs MW made. Zach would have made the GW pass that MW overthrew, but probably would have been behind him and not been a TD. He also would have scrambled for a couple more first downs. MW's ability to lead players on short routes is far superior to ZW. Either way, if MiLF would wake the fuck up this was an easy win. MiLF made ZW look way worse than he his, but ZW still needed to be sat. It was encouraging to see him not sulking like a little bitch on the sidelines this week.
Regardless of how we all feel about the loss I think Mike White has made it obvious that he is VERY clearly more deserving of the starting job right now than anyone else on the roster.
I dont understand why everyone is killing Berrios when the throw was slightly behind him just like a lot of other throws that receivers couldn't hold onto this game. It's a tough catch. Yeah he probably should have caught it but by no means was it easy.
I dont know how any of you can call for anyone to be fired after a game like this. The play was there and Berrios just dropped it. MiLF was cooking up completions all game. Give me a break.. Jets played very very well and are a competitive team who lost to another very good competitive team. Sucks to lose but that was the most entertaining Jets game I’ve watched since maybe 2010
I feel like a lot of people didnt watch the last decade of sickening performances by this team. We were down 20-3 and they never quit for a second today. Best game since last year's game vs Cincinnati which was maybe the best game since Geno in ATL on MNF.
Is it too much to ask for to see a Jets team execute in all 3 phases of the game? It feels like with an average level of performance from our WRs we win that game pretty comfortably
I know it's not a popular take but I'm fucking proud of how they fought back on the road against a loud crowd against a now 10-2 team. I'm not happy with some things but this is a team to be proud of for their fight.
That one’s on coaching. Abysmal play calling at the 1. Can’t stand trying to get cute when you have 2 downs to go one yard. QB sneak is the single harfest play to stop for one yard or less. Get some guys to push and get the td
I’m devastated but this team fought tonight. We were out of this at HT and the Vikes are a good team this year. It’s too early for these Jets to peak but my god, we’ve got a hell of a team here with a few acquisitions on offense for next year. We will crush the division within the next two years.
Mike White balled out and showed so much grit. Just wish our WRs could’ve made one more play for him. Defense played their asses off despite playing vs the refs in the first half. I know it sucks to lose but really proud of how the team played today
We almost pulled off the insane comeback. Our redzone issue are haunting today. Mike white is a baller anyone who says its his fault is wrong. Terrible drops and terrible penalties cost us this game
Some of you are fucking delusional bashing Mike White in this thread. Zach Wilson would have NEVER, EVER had this team in this game like White did today.
Oh man!!! Pulling my hair out today. What damn damn good defensive ball game for us today. The offense sure turned it around in the second half too. Mike white put us on position to win that game when Braxton dropped it. We clean up our ability to close out drives and we’re a serious contender. What a game though. I haven’t been so excited watching us play in a while
Questionable playcalling to say the least, but the Jets should have been ahead very late. That Berrios drop might define the entire season. Backbreaking.
y'all Mike White did not have a great game. was making the wrong throws all game and could not do anything in the red zone. better than Zach but anyone saying he deserves no responsibility for this loss is blind
Lmao what a bunch of babies in this thread. That was a top 3 team. Our receivers( minus gw) sold all game. White looked pretty fucking good. Refs were all over our D early.
No it doesn’t. They proved this is a different team. They came back from 3 score deficit and honestly should’ve won if Berrios held on. We wanted to hang with the big boys in December well we just did. This is a gigantic turnaround in 1 year and they are massively over performing.
we dont need a stellar offense but for this to work we need an offense that can take advantage of situations like that. luckily i think we can grow into that team
Such a winnable game. God damn man, just so brutal. LaFluer was great outside of the redzone but was maybe the worst we have ever seen in the redzone. So many drops from our receivers. Just a heart breaking brutal lose.
I think Mike LaFleur could be an outstanding coach, but I think he really isn't gameplanning well at all. He is the one I believe is holding the team back.
MLF had a bad game no doubt but fact is the GW td was in berrios's chest and he dropped it. Can scheme all you want if players don't execute it doesn't matter.
We should be proud of that performance that was a hell of slog especially with the crappy ref calls. We are playing meaningful football folks! We go again!
Ya this is the takeaway. A lot of mistakes and things to cleanup but that was a good game that we had a chance to win (and should have) against a very good opponent.
Now I'd rather go for it 4th and goal but do you kick the FG then hold them to a 3 and out and attempt to get into FG range and win instead? That goal series was fucking pitiful play call.
I don't think so. Having the ball from their 25 after a FG would make the field position way worse. It was the right decision absolutely. Playcalling leading up to it not great.
Post game thread
Some big drops and missed throws. But the killer to me is throwing it on third down at the 1 yard line when the Vikes still have a timeout. You run it and at worst make them burn the TO. If you get to the 2-3 yard line on 1st down and can't punch it in with 4 runs then wtf is going on.

No QB sneaks hurt my soul
Heartbreaking loss but the past years would have been a beat down. Absolutely needed this win though because don't feel good about going into Buffalo next week.
Team was too focused on running down the clock the berrios drop drive. We weren't playing the bills and chiefs and the defense was playing amazing. The last drive had too much focus on scoring too far out, when they could have easily gotten closer.
I love watching this team . Most fun I’ve had in years
Yea I don’t mind this loss. We tired and came close. Was not a blow out and could have won. Fun.
I agree. Not liking the drama behind, but all for seeing the Jets play well against a good team. So many shining moments.
Mike White with a 59.0 passer rating. Slightly better than Zach in the most recent Patriots game, worse than Zach‘s first Patriots game (even despite Zach’s 3 bone headed picks in the first Pats game). Other than the Zach’s Steelers game which was about the same as this game, Zach statistically out played Mike White every other start this year.
Never seen people get so excited about a QB after kicking 5 fields goals in a loss
This is an idiotic post.
Lol
Hello Mr. Zach Wilson,
At the end of the day he’s got the confidence to drive the ball down the field in the clutch moments and the whole team is behind him. Zach has done that once against the Steelers and has been abysmal since. Mike white got us to the red zone 3 times in the 4th quarter alone while being down 17 at one point. I’m not saying he’s gonna be our franchise QB yet but the red zone play calling was fucking horrible. This fan base has to stop calling for a QB job after every loss it’s insane. He’s played two games this season and thrown for 300+ yards each game . When Zachs on the field our wide outs aren’t even touching the fuckin ball
How do you watch that game as a Jets fan and come away thinking Mike White was the problem?
Jets OC horrible
Yea I thought he’s play calling was really lack luster till the fourth. Mike can rip it
I just don’t understand our playcalling. I just don’t get it.
Never before have I broke down on my knees and cried like that. I'm absolutely devastated.
First time?
I was at the game I feel you brother
I don't understand wtf LaFleur was thinking in those red zones possessions. His play calling was simply horrendous and the reason we lost this game.
What a boring take. I knight made it in on any if those runs you'd be calling it great. Coaches coach. Players play. That's it.
Horrible. Have we not learned from Russell Wilson not handing off in the Super Bowl
ive never had a jets qb in my 23 years make throws like mike did today. yea he missed wilson but berrios has to catch that fuckkiingg balll. im 3 twiste teas deep and im not stopping until i pass out.
OC and Berrios sold, every red zone visit should’ve been a td, instead we pass on the 1 and settle for field goals🤦♂️
These makes Buffalo a must win pretty much, and it’s going to be very hard to beat the bills twice
If we could've actually established the run, this could've been a W. White played great for how much we needed to rely on the pass game
Exactly
2ND AND GOAL FROM THE FUCKING 3/4 YARD LINE AND YOU THROW IT 3 TIMES????? HOLY FUCKING SHITTTTT!!!!! BURN THEIR TIMEOUTS AT THE VERY LEAST ONCE. MIKE IS 6'5 BRO QB SNEAK IT 3 FUCKING TIMES. MIKE PLAYED HIS ASS OFF.
You run it 3 times or QB sneak it 9/10 times it’s a touchdown. Piss poor redzone one play calling by MiLf today. Get a fucking analytics guy next to him.
Vikings fan here Gg! Mike White is legit! I'm rooting for you guys come play off time! We say FTP (Fuck the packers) do you guys say FTP? (Fuck the patriots) If so, FTP AND FTP!
We just straight up say fuck the pats. But, I'm all for FTP
GG that was a nail-biting game bro
Dude please get off our sub.
Fuck the Vikings go away
Red zone calls were terrible. Lafleur still sucks. Mike makes the easy passes but Wilson makes some of the other ones. Need mike to scramble a few times. He doesn’t. Wilson would have. D put us behind too early. Stayed on the field too long. Offense was woken up too late. Great freaking game though. I’m a jets fan. Whatever qb we have is who I’m rooting for.

What are you smoking this game isn’t even close with Wilson playing
Do you think the QB was the problem with this game?
We lose that game 38-3 with Wilson
Wilson makes none of those throws
Regardless of how we all feel about the loss I think Mike White has made it obvious that he is VERY clearly more deserving of the starting job right now than anyone else on the roster.
Absolutely
Some really weird takes in here.
Just like the play calling
Calling a pass play on 3rd and 4th goal from the 1yd line is what lost this game. Fucking moronic
I dont understand why everyone is killing Berrios when the throw was slightly behind him just like a lot of other throws that receivers couldn't hold onto this game. It's a tough catch. Yeah he probably should have caught it but by no means was it easy.
Even if he does catch it, the Vikings have over 90 seconds to get into field goal range.
Dude wtf that pass was right on the money. Elijah Moore brings that in. Shame on MLF for the shit play calling and Berrios for dropping it.
Yeah it’s a little behind him but if you wanna be a receiver in the NFL, ya gotta be able to catch that.
He’s a fucking NFL receiver. If it hits you in the hands you catch it, and if you don’t it’s considered a drop..
It was right in his chest and he dropped it going to the ground.
Merry Christmas Vikings. Enjoy your 14-3 season and 2nd round playoff exit.
Haha so salty. Enjoy this L. Then next week you'll get demolished by Buffalo. Stay mad.
Yeah that team is going to get manhandled in the playoffs
1st round playoff exit they won’t get the bye
Why does it always have to be a fucking heartbreaker
Lost is lost. Man up and look forward to the remaining games. Just play hard and see if we make the playoffs
I dont know how any of you can call for anyone to be fired after a game like this. The play was there and Berrios just dropped it. MiLF was cooking up completions all game. Give me a break.. Jets played very very well and are a competitive team who lost to another very good competitive team. Sucks to lose but that was the most entertaining Jets game I’ve watched since maybe 2010
I feel like a lot of people didnt watch the last decade of sickening performances by this team. We were down 20-3 and they never quit for a second today. Best game since last year's game vs Cincinnati which was maybe the best game since Geno in ATL on MNF.
For real, I'm with you man. We had nearly 500 yards of offense and people are acting like we got our asses handed to us or something.
Mike White played wonderfully I don’t wanna hear shit
Are you that blind. How many incomplete passes. Look at the damm stats
No Mike white slander allowed it was not his fault
So we looked good. The season is over losers
How can anyone say the season is over while holding a playoff spot? Most dumb take I've heard.
Just short, it happens. Mike White is still the answer, WRs just let us down a bit in some key spots.
& that’s why berrios can’t start over the rest
Have we beat a team with a WINNING record besides the Tua-less Dolphin?
If you aren’t paying attention enough/not smart enough/too drunk to remember the Bills game, why comment?
Buffalo???
Is it too much to ask for to see a Jets team execute in all 3 phases of the game? It feels like with an average level of performance from our WRs we win that game pretty comfortably
Jets are a good QB away from being legit SB contenders.Hope they go after a vet QB in the off-season.Defense is spectacular.
Mike whites our QB
This loss isn't on White, though. The play calling in the RedZone was abysmal all game.
Berrios dropped the go ahead TD. I don’t understand how that’s on the QB
I know it's not a popular take but I'm fucking proud of how they fought back on the road against a loud crowd against a now 10-2 team. I'm not happy with some things but this is a team to be proud of for their fight.
refs didn't help us in key moments, defense had some holes, great game overall. Berrios please catch that lol
That one’s on coaching. Abysmal play calling at the 1. Can’t stand trying to get cute when you have 2 downs to go one yard. QB sneak is the single harfest play to stop for one yard or less. Get some guys to push and get the td
MLF really let them down in key situations. Berrios drop aside, no excuse to not score in 3 tries from the 1.
I’m devastated but this team fought tonight. We were out of this at HT and the Vikes are a good team this year. It’s too early for these Jets to peak but my god, we’ve got a hell of a team here with a few acquisitions on offense for next year. We will crush the division within the next two years.
Mike White balled out and showed so much grit. Just wish our WRs could’ve made one more play for him. Defense played their asses off despite playing vs the refs in the first half. I know it sucks to lose but really proud of how the team played today
MLF was not the coach for this O
I guess you can't blame Zach for this one.
Imagine the Jets with Gino smith
3 plays from the 1 to win the game really hurts. This team can hang with anyone. Get em next week.
They quite literally can't as you just fucking pointed out lmao
Atrocious red zone play calling. Get that shit fixed ASAP.
If we had a red zone offense, this would have been an easy win
Breece Hall would have been able to punch it in.
We almost pulled off the insane comeback. Our redzone issue are haunting today. Mike white is a baller anyone who says its his fault is wrong. Terrible drops and terrible penalties cost us this game
OP Have no idea why you are getting downvoted 100% with you
I'm gonna got sit in a dark room and stare at a wall for the rest of the day
Some of you are fucking delusional bashing Mike White in this thread. Zach Wilson would have NEVER, EVER had this team in this game like White did today.
Oh man!!! Pulling my hair out today. What damn damn good defensive ball game for us today. The offense sure turned it around in the second half too. Mike white put us on position to win that game when Braxton dropped it. We clean up our ability to close out drives and we’re a serious contender. What a game though. I haven’t been so excited watching us play in a while
Questionable playcalling to say the least, but the Jets should have been ahead very late. That Berrios drop might define the entire season. Backbreaking.
We had the game on lock if we ran the ball on 3rd and 4th down at the 1. Throwing it twice was bad. Once, sure, but two times is bad.
Exactly. I though on 3rd we were gonna qb rush, we had a perfect formation from viking
Yeah and if we did that everyone would’ve still complained about it.
Sure it sucks, but fuck it man White wasn't done any favors with those dropped passes, we were in that game right up to the last second.
y'all Mike White did not have a great game. was making the wrong throws all game and could not do anything in the red zone. better than Zach but anyone saying he deserves no responsibility for this loss is blind
Dam ur blind
he obviously gives us the best chance to win though with who we have
White played great. shitty play calling in the red zone and the Berrios drop screwed them.
He threw for almost 400 yards….
Lmao what a bunch of babies in this thread. That was a top 3 team. Our receivers( minus gw) sold all game. White looked pretty fucking good. Refs were all over our D early.
That’s what I’m saying. Other than the play calling, which has been kinda bad since week 1, this was an awesome game.
You’re celebrating losing dude. This “happy to be here” bullshit is a loser’s mentality. We threw it twice from the one…OC is accountable
I’m out on Moore. He ain’t it
Anyone else think that last pass was on the way to Garrett Wilson in the back of the endzone before Mike White got hit?
Nah that was too on target
Elijah Moore was open marched up with a LB on the last play 🤮. Good game though, they fought back.
Hang your heads boys this one hurts. Some things never change
No it doesn’t. They proved this is a different team. They came back from 3 score deficit and honestly should’ve won if Berrios held on. We wanted to hang with the big boys in December well we just did. This is a gigantic turnaround in 1 year and they are massively over performing.
if you didnt think MLF was a partial problem with ZW i hope you see it now.
berrios usually catches those. that was the game
we dont need a stellar offense but for this to work we need an offense that can take advantage of situations like that. luckily i think we can grow into that team
As a reciver, he makes a good punt returner
This team just doesn't have the push for short yardage running. The injuries and underperformance from Tomlinson are killers in red zone offense.
Tomlinson is the biggest let down on this team completely useless
Fuck my life
The Vikings guy was never touched. That was a safety
Didn't he come out of the end zone and slide?
He gave himself up
Mike White played his heart out and SHOULD NOT have been throwing it 60 FUCKING TIMES.
Absolute agony
im going to hurt myself and its going to be the jets fault
I don't think that's how that works
Man, you guys have a scary defense. If you figure it out on O, watch out.
just wait til we have lamar 😤 lol
Red zone play calling really let them down today. We should have had that one.
This one stings. But this team is good man.
We def should have won that game but I think we looked pretty good just got off to a bad start
We deserve to lose 2nd and goal at the 1. We’re not going anywhere unless Lafluer fixes that we had two golden opportunities
White probably hit every receivers hands on an incomplete pass at some point today.
As a huge berrios fan I am just broken hearted
Such a winnable game. God damn man, just so brutal. LaFluer was great outside of the redzone but was maybe the worst we have ever seen in the redzone. So many drops from our receivers. Just a heart breaking brutal lose.
On the 1 to win it holy shit
One or two QB sneaks win the Jets the ballgame, Mike is 6'5" he's gonna get in from the 1
I feel like I just watched the Superbowl and we lost. :-(
Poor play in first half hurt.
Also that miss to G. Wilson on the second to last drive.
I’m shaking I’m so mad
🤣🤣🤣
3rd and 1, 4th and 1 And 2 shotgun passes?!?!
That loss is on MLF.
57 passes are you fucking kidding me lefleur? You moron.
You watch the game or the box score?
Jimmy G hurt. Dolphins about to get a free win.
We should have won 😭 😭 😭 need touchdowns. :(.
I think Mike LaFleur could be an outstanding coach, but I think he really isn't gameplanning well at all. He is the one I believe is holding the team back.
Berrios dropped that TD for his best buddy Wilson.
I wish White had just run it instead of passing it to Moore. He had a lot of space for at least 5 yards.
MLF had a bad game no doubt but fact is the GW td was in berrios's chest and he dropped it. Can scheme all you want if players don't execute it doesn't matter.
Can’t beat good teams with Felid Goals
Red zone woes cost us today.
Braxton berrios not catching that TD thet hit him In the chest lost us the game
Remember almost as many points as the eagles and bills got against them. And held them to less points than the bills
Where are our RTP calls goddamn it.
Another Jets vs Refs game
The idiocy of some of the comments are outstanding
Ready for the clowns to blame the L on Mike White because they only look at the box score.
Berrios really dropped the ball this fourth quarter.
Right in the hands for a touch down man. That lost us the game
Literally
Berrios has to be fucking sick
White had an open field on that last third down... What the actual fuck was he thinking not running for it???
Time. Probably had no idea exactly what the clock was, but no TO's, wouldn't have gotten out of bounds and wouldn't have picked up the first.
They did not play a great game and almost won.
We should be proud of that performance that was a hell of slog especially with the crappy ref calls. We are playing meaningful football folks! We go again!
Ya this is the takeaway. A lot of mistakes and things to cleanup but that was a good game that we had a chance to win (and should have) against a very good opponent.
moral victories do not equal actual victories.
Y’all played a good game, that was entertaining af
Shut up bitch
Sorry ass shit offense can’t score on 3 plays FROM THE FUCKING ONE YARD LINE
typical jet football if you ask me.
Cimini make yourself useful and destroy MLF today
Now I'd rather go for it 4th and goal but do you kick the FG then hold them to a 3 and out and attempt to get into FG range and win instead? That goal series was fucking pitiful play call.
I don't think so. Having the ball from their 25 after a FG would make the field position way worse. It was the right decision absolutely. Playcalling leading up to it not great.
How many times did we fail to score a TD from a goal to go scenario
Amazing how everyone is piling on pro bowl berrios who’s been great for us since he signed for one (very painful) drop
Because if he didn’t drop it we likely win the game. Obviously everyone is gonna pile on him
Has he done anything receiving this year?
That punt return was ass too
Dude this sub is so fucking insane.
He’s a great return guy. Not receiver. Big difference.
Worst fucking birthday ever
Vikings might actually be the worst 10-2 team in NFL history. Cant wait to watch their 1st round exit lol
