It is not like the Jets are making things difficult.

No not at all. Must be nice having a great Oline, RBs consistently running for 5 yards, and scheme helping guys get wide open.
Not trying to knock Purdy but I'd love to see him bolt to another team and see what he can do outside of a perfect situation.

Every time the Jets get a stop they get a penalty.

Purdy is a cheat code with his contract, he's not elite by any means but if you have a top 10ish QB with a $1M cap hit that's an absurd advantage. Once they have to extend him after this season or next they're going to have a real tough time keeping all these highly paid guys together, and Trent Williams should be retiring around the same time.
Until then, unless you have Mahomes you're going to have to get a little lucky to beat them in the playoffs.

Trent Williams has such an odd looking body type.

OL all-22 random thoughts:
-Guyton got roughed up pretty good a few times by Garrett, and he was almost never left 1-on-1 with him, but Garrett is arguably the best individual player we'll face all year and I've seen him beat triple teams before, so I'll take Guyton's performance as a rookie in an opener any day of the week. What really encouraged me though is that he was left 1-on-1 with Za'Darius Smith a few times and handled him each time, Smith isn't a Pro Bowler anymore necessarily but he's still a good to very good edge rusher and Guyton held up well.
-Beebe is a locked and loaded Pro Bowl center for the next 8-10 years, he might not make it this year but after he gets a year in the league with NFL weight training and people catch on to how good he is, he'll be a fixture for a long time. I think he's at least as good if not better than Biadasz right now, as a week 2 rookie, which is ridiculous when you consider he played 0 snaps at center in college.
-Steele actually looked surprisingly decent, still not worth his contract, but he looked like an average to above average RT which is a huge upgrade over last year. He held up well 1-on-1 against Garrett a few times, he gave up a sack to Smith but he wasn't beaten egregiously and other than that he was solid. Still way overpaid but if he can just be an above average RT that's a huge win.
-Martin looks more or less cooked, relatively speaking since he's still a decent starter, but I wonder how much of his holdout last year was because he could feel this coming. He's pretty much just an above average starting RG at this point, his Pro Bowls are by rep only.
-Schoonmaker has to watch out or he's going to end up 3rd on the depth chart behind Spann-Ford, who looks like the best blocking TE on the roster. If Ferguson misses a game or two Schoonmaker better figure out how to make a few plays in the passing game or he's going to sink like a rock.

I haven't seen it either. Something about it just doesn't intrigue me.

The refs can't even do the simplest of things with any consistency anymore in terms of spotting the ball and administrating what a proper line of scrimmage is. And now they seemingly can't even keep track of what down it is, as you saw in our game.
It's just unreal how despite being regularly raked over the coals by the public/media the refs somehow find a way to get worse at this. Almost as if it was by design.

Yep. I sat there laughing at his eye rolls and posture when he’d throw the ball in the dirt and give his WRs dirty looks.
He really is a piece of shit.

He'd be great as a short yardage/pass protection specialist if we had an actual dynamic RB to pair him with, instead we have Rico f'ing Dowdle.
Bring me Ashton Jeanty next year and give Elliott another 1-year deal and we'll actually have something.
