00:00The Vontae Adams has been traded from the Las Vegas Raiders for a conditional third

00:08round pick to reunite with his former quarterback in Green Bay.

00:13But this time for the New York Jets, the Vontae Adams, the newest New York Jet as of about

00:20two hours ago.

00:21Yeah, you can make the case, Ben.

00:23The Jets lost the battle last night, but they won the war because I can't help but think,

00:28you know, if the Jets beat the Bills, and Mike Williams in particular plays really well

00:33and doesn't screw up every other play like he did last night, then maybe the Jets don't

00:37pull the trigger, at least not right now.

00:39But because it was so bad last night, and Rodgers afterwards with his postgame press

00:44conference, he would call out Mike Williams on that last interception.

00:48I think that was all the Jets could take, and they said, all right, let's go pull the

00:51trigger.

00:52So, Scott, there is so much to get to here.

00:55The timeline of how this plays out, a little bit murky as well, but we'll try to paint

01:00it here.

01:01And we'll use Monday Night Football and the huge trade on this Tuesday morning to try

01:07to lay out the path for a second consecutive week of what remains for a struggling franchise

01:13just trying to get to the playoffs.

01:15And if after last night in a two and four start, losing to Buffalo on Monday to end

01:20out week six, and the acquisition and addition of Devontae Adams can turn the tide for the

01:27New York Jets the remainder of this season.

01:30Scott, let's start with the end of week six, the closing game of the opening third of this

01:362024 NFL season.

01:38The New York Jets at home as a slight home underdog against Buffalo falter in a monumental

01:45game because of what has happened in the last week.

01:48The firing of Robert Sala, the demotion of Nathaniel Hackett as the OC, the elevation

01:54of Todd Downing as the new offensive play caller first game under interim head coach

01:58Jeff Ulbrich with all the attention and onus and pressure on the shoulders and right arm

02:05of a 40 year old quarterback in Aaron Rodgers.

02:08The game was critical for the New York Jets with an outright victory at home.

02:14They would be an even 500, but even at 500 would be in that first place spot in the division

02:21with the direct tiebreaker in front of Buffalo.

02:24Scott, that did not happen.

02:26The Jets come up short at home once again, 23 to 20.

02:30They fall in three straight games.

02:33Josh Allen and Buffalo do just enough.

02:37You can blame whatever you would like for why the Jets lost last night.

02:41The officiating, which was overwhelming, 22 total penalties, more than 200 total yards.

02:48I don't really think Scott, it was skewed to either team, costly calls on both.

02:54You can blame whatever you would like for the New York Jets, but at the end in a game

02:59they had to have, they did not.

03:01And as Aaron Rodgers said after the game, the Jets gave it away.

03:05It did feel like that.

03:07Yeah, it's a rare, rare opportunity, Ben, when a game is worth really three games.

03:13Because if Jets win, they're three and three, Buffalo falls to three and three.

03:18Jets though would technically be in first place because at this point they would hold

03:21the head-to-head tiebreaker.

03:22So for all intents and purposes, that puts them one game up.

03:26They lose as they did.

03:27Buffalo goes to four and two.

03:29Jets fall to two and four.

03:31And now Buffalo's up two in the standings.

03:33But again, now they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker.

03:35So in essence, they are up three, or up three games.

03:39So this was like a three-game swing and it was there for the Jets.

03:43But you know, and that's why I know a lot of people are today, you know, the optimistic

03:46Jets fan is going to say, well, we played a lot better.

03:48We ran the football.

03:50We looked a whole lot better on offense, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?

03:52The bottom line though is you lost.

03:54And that's what the Jets have been doing.

03:56You know, even last year when Zach Wilson, a quarterback, Ben, they weren't getting blown

03:59out of games.

04:00They were in games in the fourth quarter, almost all of them.

04:03But they found ways to lose.

04:04So to me, you know, it's, you know, the great song, you know, leaders change, but the results

04:09remain the same.

04:10Jets play a close game, but they found a way to lose.
