What is your favorite thing to come from this win?

For me it was David Gettis getting a second chance and making a big play. The way he played yesterday, running great routes and making a lot of catches, I didn't want the lasting memory from this game to be the drop he had on 4th and 9.

It was 3rd and 2 and Smitty is coming from the right side of the field on a drag route with no one around and could easily get the first down but instead he throws a deep ball to give Gettis a chance and Gettis makes the catch for redemption. A great moment.

The play of Matt Moore was much better. Even though he needs to not throw it to the DE next game.

Agreed but if he does he needs to be in tackling lines this week to prepare. He seemed to not lock onto Smith (Haters say "What?"), he scanned the field and found open guys (Haters say "You serious?"), he stayed in the pocket and threw strikes downfield (Haters say "______?") and he led us on two fourth quarter game tying/winning drives. I say it was a welcome sight and if we get the run game going this team could be legit.

i watched him specifically for this during 1 quarter and i did not see him scanning much at all. he still seems to have his receiver picked out before the play

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
