  Greg McElroy's second turnover -- a strip-sack by Phillips -- with 4:46 to go should do it. #nyj

  3:16PM EST

  Now i will change my earlier comment sporano play calling is terrible!

  Rex getting booed for not going for it on 4th and 1 on his own 41 down 3? Alright then. #nyj

  I've seen some really bad football in the last month.

  A third-and-25 draw? Do you really want Norv Turner as your OC? #Jets

  1:58PM EST

  Sorry, ref said Wilkerson. it was Coples.

  1:52PM EST

  Think that was Coples, not Wilkerson that the flag was intended for. Making a play for a third week with a $15,000-plus fine. #nyj

  1:52PM EST

• Brian Costello

  Wilkerson hit with a roughing the passer penalty. That'll be a fine.
