New York Jets vs Detroit Lions: Fans sound off via Twitter

By Luis Tirado Jr. | Aug 15, 2015

In the Week 1 preseason opener that saw the New York Jets vs Detroit Lions, things didn’t go as planned for Gang Green. The Jets lost 23-3 as their overall performance was sloppy to say the least. Their defense didn’t live up to the hype, they got hit with some injuries and it looks like heading into this upcoming week, the Jets will have much to work on with the fundamentals of the game to bounce back next week against the Atlanta Falcons at home in MetLife Stadium.

We recently asked our followers on Twitter to sound off on their initial thoughts of the game so we can get an idea from a fans perspective on this disappointing loss. Take a look at what Jets Nation said about this game against the Lions:

@TheJetPress Its only game one. My personal opinion the team is still upset about this Geno Smith issue. QB issue bigger concern now.

@TheJetPress The defense was disappointing and need to work on their tackling. Also it is clear Bryce Petty is not ready for primetime. — Jake Dawson (@jdny2) August 14, 2015

@TheJetPress “Don’t Petty him” just give him time and he’ll be the next Rodgers.
