FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets are 0-1 for the first time since 2010. Oh no! It's a crisis. Darrelle Revis is washed up! Nick Folk has the yips! Brandon Marshall can't get open anymore! What happened to FitzMagic?

Relax, it's only one game.

The Cincinnati Bengals are a quality team (except when the calendar says January), and the Jets came within a couple of botched kicks and a blown coverage of beating Cincy.

The biggest question out of the 23-22 loss is how do the Jets respond? To me, that falls on coach Todd Bowles. The Jets have a quick turnaround -- three days to prepare for the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night -- and it'll be up to Bowles and his staff to make key adjustments on the fly. If not, 'ol Rex Ryan will be yucking it up again, just like last Jan. 3.

"We lost the game, we have to regroup," Bowles said after his team blew three leads Sunday. "We don't want to go 0-2. We have to get back to work [Monday]."

The first order of business should be Revis, who played a poor game.

It's easy to batter a man when he's down, and Revis is absorbing plenty of body blows from the over-reactionary crowd on this Monday morning. Revis Island isn't permanently closed. The man is a future Hall of Famer, so he's entitled to some slack. It's not as if he was torched by a second-rate slappy; A.J. Green is an elite wide receiver.

That said, Bowles would be wise to undertake a construction project on the Island. He simply can't use Revis in single coverage against Sammy Watkins, as he did most of the day against Green. The Jets must alter their approach, giving Revis safety help or -- better yet -- using him on the No. 2 receiver and doubling Watkins with a corner/safety combo.

In case anyone forgot, Watkins lit up the Jets for 11 catches and 136 yards in the Week 17 debacle last season, a good chunk of that coming against Revis. So the mind-boggling tally for Watkins and Green looks like this: 23 catches for 316 yards, one touchdown.

"He made some plays, he gave up some plays," Bowles said in his overly kind assessment of Revis. "We busted some plays in coverage."

The Jets' plan was to rotate their coverage on Green, removing Revis from his usual best-on-best responsibility. Revis said he was cool with the plan, but in the heat of the moment, it was Revis versus Green for much of the game. Give the Bengals some credit; they added some wrinkles to their offense, making it difficult for the Jets to execute their game plan.

"We mixed it up as much as we could," Revis said. "We definitely knew they were going to move him around. He was in the slot. They spread us out. They disguised a lot of formations and did a lot of shifting and motions. ... They capitalized on most plays."

Bowles and offensive coordinator Chan Gailey need to solve the red zone issues -- quickly. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdowns in the red zone, but he finished 2-for-6 in that area. After an early 3-yard scoring pass to Quincy Enunwa, Fitzpatrick was only 1-for-4 inside the 5-yard line.

The Jets suffered from an identity crisis, getting too pass-happy near the goal line. Matt Forte was terrific in his Jets debut, but Gailey seemed reluctant to use him. Maybe he misses his old hammer, Chris Ivory. Maybe his misses Tommy Bohanon, because new fullback Julian Howsare made a brief cameo.

Mistakes notwithstanding, this shouldn't be a panic Monday. The last time the Jets made the playoffs was 2010, when they started 0-1 and the sky supposedly was falling.
