Bilal Powell Jerseys 2019 , and the team's embarrassing 41-10 defeat at the hands of the Matt Barkley-led Buffalo Bills on Sunday stung him."We just want to get back to that winning feeling," Adams said Tuesday during his weekly paid radio spot on WFAN. "Golly, I hate to say it, man, but I felt like I almost forgot what it feels like. And I'm a winner. It's just tough." The Jets (3-7) have lost four straight as they hit the bye week with speculation surrounding the future of coach Todd Bowles, who appears will remain in his job for now. Beyond this season, however, would seem unlikely.Adams has been vocal in his support of Bowles, repeatedly saying it's on the players to execute on the field. He said in an interview with Bleacher Report during the offseason that when he arrived to the team as a first-rounder out of LSU, there was a questionable culture surrounding the Jets in which they were used to losing and not everyone put out a full effort.He was asked on WFAN's "Carlin, Maggie & Bart Show" if that culture had changed, and Adams pulled no punches."Honestly, I could sit here and sugarcoat everything, but things have not changed," he said. "Obviously
White Trevor Siemian Jerseys , we're still losing. And I'm not saying that we have guys like that in the locker room, but at the same time, it's not changing. It hasn't changed and we've been losing. At the end of the day, we're going to get it fixed. Soon, the sun will shine."It would be difficult for Adams to spin anything in a positive light when the team has seven losses, and he again made it clear he fully supports Bowles. But, his remarks certainly won't help his coach in the eyes of the Jets' brass.Adams acknowledged that the Jets prepared during practice last week to face rookie Josh Allen as Buffalo's starting quarterback — despite Allen missing the three previous games with an injured elbow — and there was little film on Barkley, the fourth-stringer who wasn't named the starter until Saturday.Barkley, who hadn't played since the 2016 season finale while with Chicago, threw two touchdown passes to lead the Bills to a rout.Adams acknowledged that he didn't have his best performance, but said the Jets lacked energy in the game and he saw "people were down" on the sideline. But he wouldn't say whether he thought the team quit Sunday."Just know one thing: As long as I'm on the team, I will not let that happen as best I can, and I damn sure won't quit," Adams said.He also added that he spoke to teammates at halftime — "there were definitely some words said" — when the Jets were trailing 31-3."We just got whooped, man
Trevor Siemian Jerseys 2019 ," Adams said. "It's really as clear as day."Adams is generally considered one of the main emotional leaders on the team, despite being in just his second season. He said he was heading home to Louisiana for a few days before the team gets back together for work next Monday."A lot of frustration, a lot of emotions," Adams said. "I've got to be around family, man. I've got to get down south and just clear my mind. I'm not going to sit here and say I'm happy. I'm not happy with what's going on. Obviously, no one is in the building. I always say this: I classify myself as a winner no matter what. It's very tough to go out there and come up short."I've got to get away, man. I've got to go home and just be around my loved ones." It was the prime-time football game that kicked off decades of must-see TV.Broadway Joe and the New York Jets traveled to Cleveland to take on Leroy Kelly and the Browns in the 1970 season opener, with excited viewers around the United States glued to their sets — along with a club-record 85,763 at Municipal Stadium — to watch the first “Monday Night Football” game.The Jets fell behind 21-7 on Homer Jones’ 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the second half, but Joe Namath’s 33-yard touchdown pass to George Sauer in the fourth quarter cut the Browns’ lead to three at 24-21.Billy Andrews sealed the win for Cleveland by intercepting Namath late in the game and returning it 25 yards for the final score.It was the first in what would become the longest-running sports series in TV history. The teams will meet again this Monday night at MetLife Stadium — this time with the Browns’ Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr. sharing the spotlight with the Jets’ Le’Veon Bell, and both teams looking to avoid starting the season 0-2.Here’s a look at how that first “Monday Night Football” game affected each team in subsequent seasons:NEW YORKThe glory days of Namath and the Jets were already fading, two seasons after winning the franchise’s first — and, still, only — Super Bowl title.There was plenty of optimism in 1970 after New York made the playoffs the previous season, but the loss to the Browns was an omen of disappointment to come.The Jets rebounded the following week with a 31-21 victory over the Boston Patriots
Color Rush Trevon Wesco Jersey , but Namath was lost for the season in Week 5 when he broke his wrist against Baltimore in the teams’ first meeting since New York’s Super Bowl victory.Al Woodall replaced Namath and helped snapped the Jets’ six-game losing streak with consecutive wins against the Los Angeles Rams, Boston and Minnesota. They then skidded to the end of the season with three straight losses.Namath came back, but played in just 23 games over the next three seasons because of various injuries. The Jets went 17-25 during that span and didn’t get back to the playoffs until the 1981 season — four years after Namath retired following a one-season stint with the Rams.That 11-season postseason drought is the longest in franchise history, with this current Jets squad second at eight years.CLEVELANDThe Browns were coming off consecutive appearances in the NFL championship game, losing to the Colts in 1968 and the Vikings in 1969. There was lots of uncertainty about the future, though, as the merger between the NFL and AFL was completed and Cleveland moved to the newly formed AFC.The win over the Jets on Monday night didn’t springboard the Browns to continued success. Cleveland opened the season 3-1, but scuffled to a 7-7 finish and failed to make the playoffs. It was also the final season for coach Blanton Collier, who retired.Nick Skorich took over and guided the Browns back to the postseason the next two years while going 19-9 in that span. But Cleveland then went through several years of mediocrity while failing to reach the playoffs again until 1980 under Sam Rutigliano.The Browns are still looking for their first Super Bowl appearance — joining the Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions and Houston Texans as the only active franchises to not make it to the NFL’s biggest game.These days, Cleveland will take just making it to the playoffs, of course. The Browns’ 16-year postseason drought is the league’s active longest skid.MEMORABLE GAMES1979: The Jets tied it on Kevin Long’s 5-yard TD run with under a minute left, but Pat Leahy missed what would have been the go-ahead extra point. The Browns fumbled the ensuing kickoff and the Jets recovered, allowing Leahy to redeem himself by booting a go-ahead 21-yarder. But Brian Sipe rallied Cleveland down the field and Don Cockroft kicked a tying 35-yarder to send it to overtime. An interception of Matt Robinson by Oliver Davis gave the Browns the ball in the extra period, and Cockroft’s 27-yarder won it 25-22 for Cleveland.1987: Another OT game
Youth Trevon Wesco Jersey , this time in the teams’ only postseason meeting. Freeman McNeil’s TD run gave the Jets a 10-point lead with just over four minutes left, but a late hit by Mark Gastineau on a third-down play kept the Browns alive. Bernie Kosar rallied Cleveland to tie it and send it to overtime. Mark Moseley missed a 23-yard field goal in the first overtime, but was good on his 27-yarder in the second OT to send the Browns to the AFC championship game with a 23-20 victory.2002: The Jets took a 21-3 lead under Chad Pennington, then Tim Couch marched the Browns back in the second half. Phil Dawson kicked a 35-yard field goal to put Cleveland ahead 24-21 with 3:30 left, and Courtney Brown blocked John Hall’s 44-yard tying attempt in the closing seconds to seal it for the Browns.2010: Moments after Nick Folk’s field goal put the Jets ahead by seven with 2:42 left, Colt McCoy rallied the Browns to a tying touchdown to send it to overtime. Appearing as though the game would finish in a tie, the Jets got the ball with 24 seconds left. Mark Sanchez connected with Santonio Holmes, who took the short pass 37 yards for a touchdown to give New York the 26-20 victory.2018: The Jets grabbed a 14-0 lead on two touchdown runs by Isaiah Crowell, who celebrated the second against his former team by wiping his rear end with the football in the end zone. It was all downhill from there for New York. Rookie Baker Mayfield replaced injured starter Tyrod Taylor in the second quarter and dazzled in his NFL debut, leading the Browns to a 21-17 comeback victory that snapped Cleveland’s 19-game winless streak.
