FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New York Jets Large receiver Garrett WilsonAfter being shocked by one of the worst team offensive performances, he unleashed his anger after a heartbreakingly painful experience. 10-3 loss To the New England Patriots Sunday at Gillette Stadium
The rookie said to reporters, “This s—t is sorry.” “We are out here looking sorry — but we know that it’s not our fault. It really hurts. We know that we are better than this. It’s not easy, that’s why it hurts.
The Jets (4-4) lost on Marcus Jones’ 84 yard punt return for touchdown with five seconds left, but it was the Zach WilsonAn offense led by Wilson that was unsuccessful all day. Wilson completed just nine of 22 passes, which was a career low of 77 yards. The Jets also managed six first downs and only 103 yards total.

Garrett Wilson and another receiver Denzel MimsWilson’s mishandled passes resulted in only four receptions totalling 47 yards. Garrett Wilson stormed into his locker room shouting, “I’m done!”
Later, he vented his frustration in front of his locker. Although he didn’t mention names, his rant seemed directed at Zach Wilson as well as the coaches. He stated that the coaches should “put more trust in receiver rooms” and suggested that there is a lack of accountability.
Garrett Wilson stated, “It begins in practice.” It’s time to improve the things we see and what we don’t call out. It must be called out. This is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable. Hopefully this will be a wakeup call for some people in facility. People in facility need to take responsibility for their own lives.”
He refused to name anyone and said it was “all of us”.
Wilson was not done, he continued to question the preparation.
He said, “It begins during the week in practise — coaching and all of it.” We must be precise. Each of us must have a better strategy. This —‘ is not acceptable. It’s not OK. That s —‘ is not going to fly.
The former Ohio State star stated, “Let’s just say it like it is: If we want be where we want it to be,” We know we can do it, but that’s what frustrates us the most. It doesn’t mean we have to play in such games. We lost the game because they didn’t score on offense. Personally, I think it’s important to accept the situation as it is. The results were clear: We were beaten on offense.”
It was a terrible loss for the Jets who lost their 14th consecutive match to the Patriots. A win would have placed them in the AFC East’s top spot. Now they are in last.
They had a chance at pulling it out, and they got the ball at their twenty with just 1:52 to go. They got a penalty first down after two incomplete passes. On a third on 1, they called a pass — a completion for running back Michael Carter for -2 yards. This was the start of New England’s winning punt.

Saleh claimed that Wilson was never his preference. Mike White. Saleh responded that he wouldn’t bench Wilson if the struggles continued, saying it was “the furthest thing to my mind”.
Wilson was not intercepted even though he had two to three balls that could have been easily picked off.
Wilson stated, “Yeah it’s super frustrating.” It was a frustrating day. It felt like my balls got away from me. But we had to find ways to play offense. We had to dig deep, look at the film, and find out what we could do better.
Wilson spoke out about the windy conditions and said, “I think it’s windy as hell up there too, guys.”
Mac Jones The same wind was used and 23 of 27 attempts were made for 246 yards. There were no turnovers.
