Only twelve more to go...

This is worse than the 0-16 Lions of 2008.  This is the worst NFL team since the '76 Bucs.

Yes, this watch is legitimately on.  At this point, who are we beating?  Even if the Pats sit everyone week 17, we still might lose by 20.

Nah man this is an 0-16 team.

If you don’t think so then you’re new to football.

The 2020 Jets are right at or near the top of being the worst NFL team I’ve ever seen.  And I’m being objective as possible.  Putting aside totally that I’m a Jet fan and angry.

Kyler Murray is going to put up 700 total yards on us.  Can't wait!

It's a foregone conclusions this doesn't work. Either we screw up the top pick and some other team drafts Trevor or we secure the pick and Trevor publicly humiliates the team by refusing to come out.

Right but at least the winless streak will continue one more week!

This team is not going 0-16. We will win meaningless games that you can't imagine yet. We are the Jets. The Jets are the GOAT bad team in meaningless games in November/December. A few young guys with no real future in the league will play above their heads (e.g. Herndon two years ago) and a few opponents will overlook us. Please remember this post.

So much Jets blame to go around with 0-16 a real possibility

October 2, 2020 | 12:01pm

 
 

The Jets suffered another embarrassing defeat on Thursday, falling 37-28 to the previously winless Broncos on national TV. Here are some thoughts and observations from the game:

1. It is now fair to wonder: When is this team going to win a game? I usually think talk of 0-16 or 1-15 is silly and alarmist, but I think it is fair this year. Thursday night was the Jets best chance to get a W and they failed. The Broncos are a team with numerous injuries to key players, including their best defensive player Von Miller and their starting quarterback Drew Lock. The Jets were facing a third-string quarterback in Brett Rypien making his first NFL start on a short week. The Broncos had to travel across the country.

Everything was set up for the Jets to win and they couldn’t. So, what makes you believe they can beat anyone at this point? It is a toss-up of which is worse – the offense or the defense. The talent level on this roster is terrible. The Jets look like an expansion team right now. They will get some healthy bodies back next week, but will it make a difference?

Looking at the schedule, maybe they can beat the Dolphins once? That seems to be their best hope right now. The Chargers don’t look great, but they are better than the Jets. There are surprises in the NFL and maybe the Jets pull one off, but right now 0-16 is not that crazy a thought.

2. While Adam Gase is rightly taking plenty of criticism for the Jets’ 0-4 start, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams should not skate. Williams’ unit looks atrocious right now.Like Gase, he does not have great players to work with but that does not totally excuse how poor they are playing.

The defense failed to get a sack for the second straight game. Nothing is working, even against Rypien. Other than the fourth quarter when Rypien threw them a couple of passes, the defense did nothing against a player making his first start. They did not get near him. They gave him open receivers to throw to. Everything about the Jets defense right now looks soft. The coverage is soft. They are giving up long runs. They look lost out there.

Then there is the discipline problem. Williams coaches right up to the line of dirty play and sometimes crosses it. Remember he was suspended for his role in the Saints Bountygate scandal? You can find an audio recording on the internet of him telling his players to injure the other team. The seven personal fouls against the Broncos are inexcusable. They handed Denver seven first downs. You can’t win games like that. Williams needs to get his unit under control and find ways to pressure the quarterback. image.gif.b7197a215b0a9c885d0b32bb2a0a7a9c.gif

3. The loss of Jamal Adams is really starting to show. Adams was an eraser for the Jets. He covered up a lot of their blemishes in the last few years with his play and the energy he brought. The Jets don’t have that kind of player on defense right now. Adams was not always a great leader off the field, but he always was on it. He led by how hard he played and breathed life into his teammates. The Jets desperately need a spark right now. Adams used to be the one who provided it.

4. The Jets are the worst red-zone offense in the sport right now, scoring touchdowns on 22 percent of their trips. That is staggering. The Jets went 0-for-3 on Thursday night. It has gotten to the point where you just assume Sam Ficken is going to need to kick a field goal when the Jets get down there.

I think some of the criticism of Gase’s play-calling is overdone, but his red-zone play-calling is terrible. He is too often predictable when he gets close to the end zone. It is astonishing to consider that the Jets have scored five offensive touchdowns this year, and only one has come on a play ran as it was called and designed. The Jets scored once against the Bills on an audible by Sam Darnold. The Josh Adams garbage-time touchdown was on a designed play. Then, Darnold improvised on touchdown passes to Braxton Berrios against the 49ers and Colts and ran 47 yards for a touchdown Thursday night.

Gase has nine days to prepare for the Cardinals. He needs to do some self-scouting of his red-zone calls and figure out how to be more productive.

Revealing stat

The Broncos gained more first downs from penalties (7) than rushes (4). The Jets defense gave Rypien a huge assist in this game.

Surprising snap count

Jeff Smith played 73 snaps (95 percent), the most of any wide receiver in the game. Smith was activated off of injured reserve just before the game. Smith showed promise in training camp before injuring his shoulder, but it was surprising to see him play this much.

Game ball

Jamison Crowder returned from his hamstring injury and had seven catches for 104 yards, including several big catches late in the game. Crowder is one of the few playmakers the Jets have.

100% Darnold the puncher will have some good games which will knock us out of 1.1 and cause an entire off season debating is Darnold any good

I thought that until last night, which I thought for sure would be a win.  These new and creative ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory has a "team of destiny" feel to it.

I don't think 0-16 is happening, but anything in the 0-2 wins range is certainly on the table.  The absolute best this team will do is 3-13.

Nope.

This is a historically bad team.  I can't see them winning a game.

I agree usually theres something like Ryan Fitzpatrick, todd and rex defense , or full slate of bad teams . That will help us win a few meaningless games throughout the season.  This team is bad in all phases . I definitely think they are going bottom out and go 0-16 . I would like think we can split with miami but man i think fitz feasts on this defense
