The NFL world continues to turn at breakneck speed. Two weeks ago it seemed the Jets were on the right track and the Bills were world-beaters — now, in back-to-back weeks, the Jets have struggled to put points on the board while the Bills lost back-to-back games to other (presumed) AFC bluebloods. One thing that remains consistent: Some kickers just don’t miss.

twitter.com/BeQo2Wn2So — Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) October 6, 2024 The Athletic NFL writers Mike Jones, Ted Nguyen and Dan Pompei share their thoughts on all of these storylines and more. The Jets were close but, for a second straight week, too uneven offensively to come away with a win.
If you’re GM Joe Douglas, do you trade a Day 2 pick (and maybe more) and convince his boss to pay up for Davante Adams ? Nguyen: With Aaron Rodgers’ age and their defense, the Jets have a small window to make some noise. I would trade a Day 2 pick to get Adams. Unless Douglas really doesn’t believe this team has a shot at winning late in the year, he has to make this move.
This offense desperately needs another playmaker on the outside. Rodgers got what he wanted with the Jets — in Green Bay, he complained about the motion-heavy, play-action-heavy system. With the Jets, he has a static offense with him at the controls, and without a lot of schematic advantages.
They need someone to take the attention away from Garrett Wilson and take defenders out of the box. Adams wil.
