Are the Jets on their way to a third unhappy receiver this season? Maybe not to the level that Denzel Mims and Elijah Moore were at but Garrett Wilson certainly was frustrated with the offense in Sunday’s 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots.
Wilson feels he and the rest of the Jets’ wide receivers aren’t getting enough chances to make plays and that the coaches need to put more trust in them.
Garrett Wilson also said the coaches need to put more “trust” in the receiver room, give them — him — a chance to make plays. https://t.co/LrG5zZCvVr

Wilson also expressed major frustration with the offense. “This (expletive) is not ok,” he said. “Straight up, is it not ok. How many total yards did we have? That (expletive) is not going to fly. We got the dudes. It’s time to be consistent. It’s time to win the games we should win.”
“It is unacceptable,” Wilson added. “No one wants to feel like this but that’s not enough. You’ve got to do something about it. I feel this is a wake up for some of the people in the facility. For us in the facility to get on our details.”

Wilson caught two passes in the loss to the Patriots for 12 yards on a day where the Jets had just 77 passing yards and 103 total yards of offense.
Wilson didn’t express anyone by name, but this is one of those “tell me who you’re upset with without telling me who you’re upset with” deals. It doesn’t take too much to figure out who he wants to point the finger at, and it’s not at himself.
The Jets have talent at the wide receiver position and Sunday would have been a good day for that talent to shine because the Jets couldn’t run the football at all (59 rushing yards). Unfortunately, Zach Wilson had more than enough trouble getting the ball to his receivers, limiting their potential and leading to just three points in the game before the back-breaking punt return by Marcus Jones.
