The Jets are still losing — and even worse, they are wasting Garrett Wilson

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Garrett Wilson, wearing a plain black rain jacket with the hood over his head, leaned against a backdrop with the New York Jets logo on it. “I am going to go back and watch it again, but there were some really, really good opportunities that I feel like we missed out on.” And when Saleh was asked specifically about Wilson, he was short — and clearly perturbed: “I’ll have a better answer for you tomorrow.” Tim Boyle was benched late in the third quarter for Trevor Siemian. Before Sunday, Wilson ranked fourth among all wide receivers or tight ends in ESPN’s “open score” metric, which tracks how open receivers get on their routes. “I feel like I’ve got a lot more to give,” Wilson said. After the game, Saleh would not commit to next week’s starter at quarterback, saying: “I’m not there yet.” Against the Falcons, Boyle completed 14 of 25 passes for 148 yards, no touchdowns and an interception.
