Does Jets' Aaron Glenn sound ready to bench Justin Fields after loss to Patriots?

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields produced yet another woeful outing as the Jets fell to 2-8 on the season via a 27-14 loss at the New England Patriots (9-2) on Thursday night. 

As has been the case throughout the fall, first-year Jets head coach Aaron Glenn defended Fields while speaking with reporters after the defeat. 

Aaron Glenn saw "good things" from Justin Fields vs. Patriots

"There were some good things, really good things," Glenn said when asked how he felt Fields played at Gillette Stadium, per the Patriots' website. "I thought he put some balls out there. We got to have some guys that make some plays for him, too. I know for a fact he's going to say there are some things he can do better. We have to watch the tape, but I thought there were some good things he did out there."

Glenn was right, as Fields did acknowledge he was "not good enough" after he completed 15-of-26 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown versus New England. Fields also led the Jets with 67 rushing yards, and he tallied a score on the ground. 

As Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk noted, though, Fields was sacked twice for 11 yards. That dropped his net yardage for the evening to 105. 

Aaron Glenn ripped for not turning to Tyrod Taylor vs. Patriots

As Matt Clapp shared for Awful Announcing, former player and current NFL analyst Willie Colon ripped Glenn during the Jets' postgame show on SNY for not turning to backup signal-caller Tyrod Taylor when Gang Green entered halftime of Thursday's matchup down by just seven points (14-7).

"Justin Fields is not an NFL quarterback," Colon said. "Let’s be honest. ...And you can’t sit here and tell your team before games, I want them to rally, I want them to give you all they got, when you’re not giving your team everything they need to be successful."

Previous reports suggested Glenn would give Taylor a shot if Fields' passing struggles continued on Thursday evening. Without directly saying so, Glenn indicated during his postgame comments that he never considered going down that road. 

"I'm sure there are some things Justin is going to say, 'I could have done better, could have made some plays,'" Glenn explained. "Then again, there are some plays out there our guys got to make for him also, and you'll be able to see that as you go back and watch the tape. ...I thought he had some really good throws. We just got to finish those." 

It's unclear if Fields or Taylor will start when the Jets face the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 23. 4-5 Baltimore plays at the Cleveland Browns (2-7) this coming Sunday.
