More wins than last year, Jets post game thread

[RaiderandBulldog]

With the win in New York today. The 2026 Raiders have already passed the win total from last year. We all wanted improvement and now it’s official in the record books,

[16 to 88]

Now I've let it digest a bit.

1. Zuhn out there looked much better than JPJ at RG, For that matter the played better(ish). Note, I didn't say they played great.

2. Defense. The first half was house of horrors. 2nd they did just enough, but it certainly wasn't pretty.

3. Kirk continues to put this team on his back and all he does is generate offense. 16 TDs is tied for first, and 4th in yards.

4. Gutsy call by Clint to go for the FG.

5. Game ball to Laube. First KR of the season and we sorely needed that at that point in the game to help blunt the onslaught of the Jets.

6. I'd say Bowers but we all know how good he is at this stage of the game.

In all a ugly win, but one we desperately needed. The next two games especially aren't going to be easy. I'm hoping for the same thing: improvement each game, stay close in each one and have a shot. No NE style blowouts.

I couple of other things, was the announcer (not vilma) drunk in the booth today? At the beginning of the game, twice he said it was Jeanty on the field. He's right up in the booth so not only can he see the players on the field but he has TV screens as well and supposedly assistants helping him? Then when Smith threw that first long pass and it went through the guys arms and bounced all over the field he yelled he caught it. I'm 3,000 miles away and clearly saw what he didn't. lol

Something else that caught my eye was after the replay when they overturned the short line of gain and gave the jets a 1st down an official is over their high fiving the Jets HC. Why would you do that!?? It gives such a look of impropriety. I would say our next four games are brutal...

AT the 49ers (after their bye)
Seattle
At the Broncos (after their bye)
At the Browns (after their bye)

That bothered me as well. I think the Broncos and Browns are very beatable. Winning the 49ers game will require a few miracles. Kubiak will need to tap into his inner Herb Brooks.

Seattle is a bit of a wild card. 1-The Commanders beat them. 2-Kubiak knows their strength and weaknesses very well. His game planning could be the X factor in that one.

We get them at home which is really only an advantage because we do not play in Seattle.

Just win podcast Just exposed Mike Washington. Raiders had their 2nd best YARDS BEFORE CONTACT game of the season, yet YARDS AFTER CONTACT was the 2nd WORST it's been all season. Mike Washington had negative yards expected. 25 carries against the worst defense in the NFL and a negative EPA. Ashton Jeanty had 4.5 ypc.

Mike Washington average dropped to 4.2. Another 25 carries against the whiners and that average will continue to drop. If Mike's carries ever match Jeantys we will see what the truth is. The results so far show that Mike isn't better, there is just a bias against Jeanty.

[SuperRaider]

Right now; the raiders need to stay with Washington as the lead running back; Jeanty is great at being the passing down back as he can catch the ball and we do need him for that;
