Eagles Expose the Jets* Deficiencies
@The last time the Jets began a season with three consecutive victories, it was six years ago, in Rex Ryan*s first year as coach.// That bunch bragged about its swagger and its talent and its defense, about its everything © comporting itself, then, as the antithesis of the Jets under Todd Bowles today.//
@Bowles demands excellence from his players and expects humility in return.// And also perspective.//
@The Jets changed in silence Sunday after absorbing their first defeat of the season, by 24 17, at the hands of the previously winlessPhiladelphia Eagles, in a performance that exposed the Jets* deficiencies and resembled so many other embarrassing showings at MetLife Stadium.// ©The result evoked an opinion offered last week by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who said the Jets were not good enough to look past Philadelphia.//
