Grading the Jets: Special teams are the only group above water

OFFENSE: Christopher Johnson can no longer call Adam Gase "a brilliant offensive mind." On what grounds? Don't say anything about injuries. You play with who you have. But you have to be aggressive. The Jets ran 62 plays and 28 were designed runs. We know they didn't have Le'Veon Bell and Jamison Crowder. But the Niners' defense didn't have Richard Sherman, Dee Ford and lost Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas in the first quarter. Yet the Jets still didn't get in the end zone until there was 1:23 left in the game. There should have been more creativity. The Jets got in the red zone twice in the first half. The first time, they went backward with Frank Gore running for minus-2 yards and Sam Darnold getting sacked for a 6-yard loss. The Jets had to settle for the field goal. On the next series, the Jets got to the Niners' 20 and were stopped on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1. "A brilliant offensive mind," as Johnson called Gase, has to be able to call a play that gets a yard there. Didn't happen.
