The New York Jets saved the worst for last in what will go down as one of the most forgettable seasons in team history. Gang Green got their doors blown off by the Buffalo Bills backups in a 35-8 loss.
The Jets had no answer for Mitch Trubisky, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson as they ran roughshod over a Jets defense that became the first in NFL history to go a full season without a single interception. Pair that with the team being the first since the 1970’s to lose by at least 23 points five times in a row and Aaron Glenn’s club put together one heck of a year.
The good news however, is that the Giants won their game earlier in the day, meaning the Jets jump up to second in the NFL draft which means if Oregon’s Dante Moore declares, the Jets can land a quarterback without having to give up a bounty of picks to move up.
Glenn put the failed season on himself after the game, saying it’s “on me” in coming up short of any and al goals the team had before the season. The head coach said he’s looking forward to meeting with owner Woody Johnson, who he has “a lot of confidence” in, along with Darren Mougey, to right the ship.
Given their current situation, you could argue that the Titanic, in its current state, is in better shape than the Jets. They don’t have a quarterback, they don’t know if they have a coach, the running back’s future is up in the air, and only one wide receiver has proven himself to be an impact player. And let’s not get started on the defense that couldn’t, to quote Bart Scott…stop a nose bleed.
It’s going to be a long offseason, Jets fans.
