Aaron Glenn has another long Monday ahead after the Jets turned their best scoring day of the season into a 38-33 loss to the Raiders. Braelon Allen ran for a career-high 147 yards, Adonai Mitchell delivered 142 receiving yards, and New York still walked out of MetLife Stadium at 2-6. The defense and special teams left the offense with too much to overcome, while Minkah Fitzpatrick’s postgame comments added another layer to the frustration. Today’s Jets News roundup covers the fallout, the young players worth watching and the draft picture, with clearly dated links and the latest debates from the JetNation forums.

Finding Silver Linings in yet Another Embarrassing Jets Loss – JetNation (November 1, 2026)
Glenn Naughton looks beyond another ugly defensive afternoon to identify the pieces New York can still build around. Allen and Mitchell supplied the headline performances, but the larger argument is about a young group of offensive weapons that includes Omar Cooper Jr., Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq alongside Garrett Wilson. Naughton also highlights contributions from Darrell Jackson and Jack Heflin on a depleted defensive line. The draft outlook offers another possible bright spot, although projected slots remain fluid. It is an assessment of what might help the next stage of the rebuild, not a reason to excuse allowing 38 points.
Jets vs Raiders Week 9 Recap: New York Falls 38-33 – JetNation (November 1, 2026)
Brandon Natale recaps the scoring swings that made this loss so frustrating. Allen powered the running game, Mitchell produced a career day, and Wilson was involved far more often than in the previous two games. Yet a kickoff-return touchdown, defensive breakdowns and a late red-zone possession that ended in a field goal kept Las Vegas in control of the finish. The Jets had one last chance before a desperation interception ended it. The linked headline says Week 9; the November 1 Raiders game was the Jets’ Week 8 matchup. The result leaves New York at 2-6 with another productive offensive effort wasted.
Jets Inactives vs Raiders – JetNation (November 1, 2026)
Phil Sullivan’s pregame availability report explains the personnel backdrop to Sunday’s loss. Hall remained out, leaving Allen to handle the lead role, while David Bailey and Joseph Ossai were unavailable on the edge. With T’Vondre Sweat already on injured reserve, those absences put more pressure on the remaining defensive linemen. The report also notes that Dylan Parham avoided the inactive list after carrying a questionable designation during the week. This is Sunday’s confirmed inactive list, not a new injury report for the next game; any changes in availability will need fresh practice and team updates.
