For all 32 owners & coaches and all 1696 players that is EXACTLY the idea. Same reason why you could be 0–16 but the season recap NFL Films does on you will say nothing but positive things.so the idea of being mic'd up is only so we can hear positive comments? Screw that...
It sounds like Gase is spooked. He knows he doesn't stand a ghost of a chance of keeping his job past this season. Darnold's poltergeist experience was a memento mori for the coach. Gase is a dead man walking -- and he knows it.

Maybe there are already ghosts filling those empty seats. Sam will see a sellout.Their next game is in Jville? Everyone in the stands should be wearing a ghost costume.
I agree.How is that different than a QB being miked up where he says to the OC, "They disguised that well; I totally didn't see that."?
I mean, he WAS seeing ghosts. He was a totally fooled on coverages and such. He was being honest. Yeah it looks bad but why? We all know he's a very young and inexperienced QB facing an historically good defense. The issue is only if he doesn't learn from this moving forward. But the comment itself? Who cares?
By agreement, they're supposed to be edited.Disagree. This is what “miked up” is about, catching the raw unfiltered expressions in the heat of the moment. Yeah it sucks for the player but it makes for great entertainment value, and that’s what the NFL is delivering, not warm fuzzy cuddles to soothe the egos of fragile snowflakes who melt under pressure. And it’s part of what he gets paid the big bucks and gets star status for, putting himself in harm’s way psychically as well as physically.
What the over/under on the number of fans who show up in ghost costumes at his next Away game?Geez, the fact that he said this 10 days before Halloween ensures that this will be the longest week and a half of his life....................

I hadn't thought of it from that angle...good point!I can't help delighting in the irony of the Jets, who started the whole "Patriots are cheaters" canard because of the placement of an otherwise legal camera, agreeing to mic up their quarterback and having the result blow up in their collective faces.
Joker, you should be miked up for 24 hours...now, that would be high quality Reality TV!here's a bad comment...**** Samchez, screw Googly Gasbag Gase, ES&D bigmouth Jete morons
Sounds to me like a guy being honest with himself. Guy went through hell, and had crap for support or preparation from his coach. Seems a departure from your typical perspective expressed on this forum. If this were a young Russel Wilson, or RGIII, would you hold such a harsh perspective on the player? Or would the player be a victim?I've never spent any time on an NFL sideline but it's hard to believe you want a QB who says stuff like that even when he's in the midst of a terrible game. That doesn't sound like a guy who believes in himself.
If the average person had a modicum of compassion and understanding, they would take the comment at face value and gain insight into the player, the game and situation rather than seeing the player with disgust.Guess I don't see the problem/controversy.
Its a player basically just saying how well the other team is playing.
To me its like Brady saying to Edelman (or Welker heh) in the Superbowl: "Its like throwing in a forest out there." (best I remember it)
A game he lost.
So a lapse in immune system effectiveness is indicative of a person's character? That's harsh, man.The dude got mono at an age where he is eligible to vote. Let that sink in and then I ask...what would make the Jets even possibly think he was going to potentionally give a "positive" legendary soundbite? That sums the Jets up right there.
There are not enough laughing emojis on here for that franchise.
Bottom line: Players say things like this on sideline a lot. Jets --and Darnold-- got screwed here.
