Analyst Has Encouraging Message For Jets Fans
There are no moral victories in the National Football League.
However, if there were, then the New York Jets would’ve had one of the greatest of all time.
At least, that’s how NFL analyst Peter Schrager seems to feel.
In the latest edition of Good Morning Football, the renowned analyst stated that Jets fans should feel much better about their team now than they did a couple of days ago.
“You’ve got to wake up feeling far better this Monday as a @nyjets fan than you did last Monday. Zach Wilson went toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes, and the building was rocking. It’s not all doom and gloom and the season might not be done just yet.”

He claimed that Zach Wilson actually played as well — if not better — than Patrick Mahomes, adding that a questionable defensive holding penalty on CB Sauce Gardner cost the Jets a chance to tie or win the game.
Schrager stated that this offensive game plan was way more similar to what people expected when they hired Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator, adding that it might have been one of Wilson’s better performances of his career.
And now that they have a date with the 1-3 Denver Broncos on the road next week, the Jets might be able to salvage their season by taking them down at Empower Field at Mile High.
Wilson and the Jets had looked quite limited on offense throughout the season, but it seems like Hackett and his staff finally shifted and adjusted the playbook to something more suited to Wilson’s needs and game.
Zach needed an almost-perfect performance to put the doubters at ease, at least for one week.
It’s still early in the season, and while it’ll be tough, the Jets could still turn things around and make the playoffs.
