Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson are suddenly major Jets concerns

The Jets lost an ugly, ugly 10-9 game to the Broncos on Sunday in the rain to drop to 2-2 this season. Here are some thoughts and observations from the game:

1. This was a terrible loss for the Jets. They had an opponent they were favored to beat who had a rookie quarterback making his fourth start. The game was at home. The Jets had a long rest after beating the Patriots on Thursday night with no travel for two weeks. It was all set up for a victory.

Instead, they fell on their faces.

Now, the question is how they respond to this. Look, I get the reaction to this loss. I understand fans want Robert Saleh fired and Nathaniel Hackett banished. Everyone needs to take a breath. This is one game. The Jets looked pretty good over their previous six quarters against the Patriots and Titans. You can’t forget that.

But … the Jets have to make sure this was a blip on the radar screen of a long, long season and not an omen of what is to come this year. They have to get the penalties cleaned up. That falls on Saleh and his coaches. They have to get the offense playing together. They have looked out of sync for much of the first four weeks. Things worked against the Patriots and they’ve had some other really good drives but overall this is not how an offense with this much talent should look.

It could be early-season kinks that need to be worked out and that is understandable. The Jets have a lot of new pieces on offense and the starters did not play in the preseason. It could just be they need more time on task.
