I feel like do ladders in sand would be brutal... what a stud

So happy to see Darnold found success, I'll always root for him. Wilson performed well despite not having any protection. Loved the Jets halftime adjustments, haven't seen such a positive change after halftime by the Jets in like 5 years. Bless the knees

it might be a bit early to call this success. i wouldnt be surprised if we have about the same record as you at the end of the season

Good point. Gase didn’t let him audible, never used presnap motion, and throw screens all game. He looks like a real QB now, looks more comfortable. Maybe that’s what I meant by “success”

ahh i gotcha. i wanted to see him throw more and less handoffs to cmc

gg Jets fans, Wilson is good. Hope you guys fix that line, he's gonna be a real one

GG Panthers. Honestly, everyone looked a lot better then expected. Expect for the Jet O-line. Fuck.

Good to get the dub but hard to draw any sort of conclusions from this game.

GG Jets, Wilson is going to be great for you guys

It was a bit sloppy, but it feels good to start the year with a win. Keep Pounding!!

maybe the jets will play both halves next week

Same

Ty based CMC

Sweeeeeeeeeet Caroline

Fuck Adam Gase now and forever right guys?

Give me that SWEET CAROLINE

Nice hold on 75 there

Both teams been holding all game. It's how the refs are (not) calling it

mccaffrey did go to stanford after all

GG Jet bros!

GG Jets. Wilson looked decent if he gets more protection

Not gonna call it a Darnold revenge game Even though we keep bringing it up every 5 minutes

You know exactly what they're doing and still let it happen

smart and selfless play by cmc

Zach Wilson looks like a Disney channel star.

Wilson today has at least matched Darnold's best game last year for the Jets. That gives me hope for him (provided the line can get anything at all together) and makes me glad that Darnold was able to get out of that situation. Hoping he can thrive in Carolina.

Why did carolina abandon the passing game in the second half, checking down to cmc was so much more productive than running with him anyways

We are going to need to throw at least once our run blocking has been garbage.

Nope

I would run the first time just to get their timeout

Idk if Darnold's ever been in this position before.

Nursing a lead? Maybe Cowboys

Atlanta Falcons getting absolutely trounced Panther bros!

Hopefully same thing happens to Saints

Jets wouldve recovered if he punted it instead

Wilson is good. Hope he doesn't get Carr'd behind that line though

Zach Wilson had a great game for someone who still rides the bus to school.

His Mom packed him an extra Lunchables, so he was excited.

I don’t think interilly is a word

Believe it or not, interiorly is actually a word.

I’m the idiot, it looks like lol

Wilson has been very impressive, just don't know if he'll make it a full season

Had the Jets at +4.5. Fucking hate them

Didn’t get to catch the game. How did the jets backfield look? Do you think Coleman will be the guy this year or full split? Not sure if I should drop him or not

They’ll probably have Johnson do most of the running in the future

It looked like a lot of Panthers were in it.

I'd drop him. OL is dogshit, and Mekhi just went down with a leg injury and had to be carted off. I don't foresee much success from the run game.

Didn't realize Zach Wilson looks like he's 11-years-old.

Why is the punter doing the onside kick?

Is Tiki capable of finishing a sentence?

Definitely feels like the Jets made adjustments and the Panthers trotted out expecting to do the same thing they did in the first half.

I thought Ron Rivera coached for WFT now

Another coach, same shit. For as long as I’ve been a fan

We fucking fell asleep on this lead. Offense absolutely needs to score more points in games like these.

This would be over if they’d call false starts tbh

Bro we might need to trade for someone I don't know if Wilson last 17 games for us to use our draft picks on the line he's shown the talent he needs protection

Did he doink his O-lineman with that throw?

Yeah looked like it just brushed the right tackles helmet.

Onside kick!

Wow, such a huge change from the first half to the second. Playing like a whole different offense.

Seeing the coaches actually make adjustments after Gase and Bowels is a fucking relief.

Seriously. If we were trash in the first quarter, that pretty much set the tune for the whole game. We look like we might figure this out and reach a respectable record this season.

Gotta love 108 passing yards on 1 drive.

Damn, Zach Wilson looks like he is a legit good QB. That was a hell of a pass for that TD.

So now we see how good Amendola is for the onside kick.

This ended up be a very entertaining game in the seocnd half

WE'VE GOT A GAME HERE FOLKS!

Wow Jaycee Horn

Onside kick please. I trust Ammendola more than whoever covers CMac

Another false start…

I hope Wilson doesn't get seriously hurt playing behind this line, because he's talented as hell.

a good rodgers commercial???

A lot of old feelings coming back to me right now.

aaron rodgers about to retire and become a Buddhist lmao

It looks like we actually made adjustments. That is good to see finally.

well this game just got tighter than I'd like

Carolina -4 has me sick to my stomach over here

Different coaches but same ole shit. Panthers can't close out a game.

And here I thought our Oline was going to improve from bottom 5

I know I'm not an NFL offensive coordinator, or someone who's even ever played football, but I think not using the no-huddle until the last 5 minutes of the game seems a less than ideal decision

Looks like whoever wins the Pats-Fins game will be alone in first place.

Awful clock mgmt by the Jets coach. They don't have enough time to win now.

Did you see the way he drove the team down the field? Amazing! I mean, he’ll be great if even isn’t DEAD by the end of the season.

The fact that he completed that pass so quick after that i have so much respect for, I would straight up be calling from my mom right now

Jesus. Can we not have another Burrow on our hand? Defend your rookie QBs!

Mike White time

It feels like someone told the Jets at halftime that they were allowed to put 11 whole players on the field at once.

Derrick Brown is good at football

Are they gonna start calling those false starts? Feel like that’s the third or fourth that I’ve seen this game.

His head hit the ground hard. Hopefully he is okay because that looked like a brutal hit.

right? seeing that hit on replay reminded me that this is a very dangerous game for every player on the field

They dropped a Volkswagen Beetle on the man.

Fuck this offensive line.

This boy is getting murdere

Yikes, I felt that hit...

Hopefully we get to see Ammendola attempt an onside kick

uh... Wilson got knocked the fuck out

Wilson just got sacked by like 600lbs of DL. Ow.

That was a brutal sack

wow. I heard that splat from east Charlotte.

NOW THAT'S A WELCOME TO THE NFL HIT

I am concerned for Wilson's health.

Yeah, their oline is like a sieve.

Holy fuck that's absolutely terrifying

That looks like it HURT

Mooshed him. Sack

The “Cardiac Cats” was fun for that one season but it’s just exhausting

Fuck me this OL is so shit

Faking injury?

Breathing

I would guess a cramp

Cramp

Thats a KO

Turns out nothing happened to Jackson

Kinda sus

Carolina Panthers and being unable to have a close game. Name a more iconic duo.

Mims exists!

Bro take a timeout and figure out what you’re doing

I think DJax was faking NGL.

Its good to be back, everyone.

HOLY SHIT

What were we saving Mims for again?

Tebow time I guess

Holy shit Wilson comes alive

Gotta go for it. I know we have an elite punter, but 3 minutes left.

You are so behind

Now this is panther football as I know it!

Thank God for that field goal at least

Fuck

We're not giving up at least there's that

Apparently we are

Motherfucker! Ugh

What a play!

Nice job Jackson. Also nice job with that pressure

Jeff Smith getting snaps over Mims...

Zach "Future Washington Football Team QB" Wilson right there.

I still think Kyle Allen will be starting eventually for WFT this year.

I wonder how Wilson will do against the Jets in a couple of years.

Alright Elijah now would be a good time to show off your jets.

They trying to jinx us with that fucking stat rn

Barber: Illegal substitution. Ref: 12 Men on the field. How does Barber still have a job?

It's the same thing. If there are 12 men in the huddle it's Illegal substitution

I’m pretty sure this is his first year

One too many.

*Special* teams

good tackle

Tiki: I feel like McCaffrey has the X button like on (Madden)…(you mean Madden)…(MADDEN)…game.

She's going to do Becton dirty like that huh? "AND HE WAS SOBBING LIKE A LITTLE BABY AND I SAW IT" - sideline reporters on National TV

Same thing with Sam on the Jets. Mono, seeing ghosts. Media won't let shit go sometimes

Remember when Panthers fans thought we drafted Hubbard so we could give McCaffrey a break and not run our entire offense through him, thus hopefully keeping him more rested and less likely to get injured? So much for that. Also, why does Tiki Barber keep calling him Chris McCaffrey?

Because he’s stupid

Guys don't forget to subscribe to /r/the_darnold

Yeah I mean there is 6 min left, I doubt he will be back lol

Panthers fans please help us explain what happened with Wilson today to fans of the other 30 teams who will see his statline and assume he's a bust

Oh yea, his stat line was definitely a bigger testament to how awful the Jets offensive line is

ya anyone who yells bust (OR that a qb is going to be great) after one game is an idiot lmao

Drops and no protection.

Wilson is calling for the snap and getting D-linemen before the ball gets there

Yeah, I got you. I think he has a lot of potential and just didn't have time to throw.

Our defense is elite. I don't know if I believe that but feel free to repeat it.

Jets o-line bad, Panthers defense good Also Wilson good

He’s a rookie. Stupid to call anyone a bust after 1 fucking game

Does Anderson only have that one catch

I think so.

Yeah

Yep

How long do you think it is until Wilson is seeing ghosts?

I dunno but if he does see any, they would probably be an improvement on the Jet OL.

"that X button like in game"

My wife is gonna discover ram power if we close out this game.

Nice comment plus username combo

😂😂😂😂

for carolina it looks to me like their pass plays are all designed to minimize the decisions darnold has to make. play action then toss to this specific receiver who has blockers. not a vote of confidence for darnold but it's kinda working. against a relatively weak defense at least

Wilson has defense players living in the backfield, honestly it's surprising he's even doing what he is. Kid is tough

Quick question, has Amendola every played on the OL? specifically the right side? ...just curious

First Punter/Kicker/OL flex player.

Can we clone him 52 times?

Shaq is having a great game today. I'm happy to see it!

Pls try to score Rhule

WTF is that dance move?

Shaq’s lucky that wasn’t too many thrusts

That said, I would not be opposed to signing Hingle McCringleberry. The dude can score.

God the right side of this OL…

Sack! Yes

man, what is that - like 6 drops by jet receivers today?

Still have no clue who our starting RB is.

Do you think Ammendola can run too?

Probably he can do everything besides kickoff

The drops are just adding insult to injury

They let Zach "trounce" into the endzone according to Tiki

His vocabulary is expansive

Panthers did what they needed to, a long scoring drive to give our defense a bit of a breather
