The New York Jets are a really bad football team. Like, a really bad football.
We all knew this going into Sunday’s Week 6 game in Miami and they only solidified their status as the worst team in the league with an absolutely miserable first half against the Dolphins in which they had more penalties than first downs and trailed 21-0 at the break.
Adam Gase’s awful offense continues to be awful, especially with Joe Flacco getting the start for an injured Sam Darnold. You have to wonder how many hours Gase has left as the Jets’ coach because this is getting really embarrassing for a franchise that is used to being embarrassing.
Just look at what the Jets did in the first half:
The #Jets have more penalties than first downs.
They have more penalty yards than both passing and rushing yards.
They are 0-for-8 on third down.

NFL Twitter crushed the Jets:
I have watched a lot of bad football in my life. I’ve never seen a team as bad as the 2020 New York #Jets. There isn’t anything they do well. They are unprepared, undisciplined, and look like they absolutely hate playing. If ownership isn’t embarrassed by this they never will be.

The Jets actually prepared for this game. Like the offense and defense put together a plan they thought might work. They spent an entire week doing that.
And this is the result.

Dolphins 21, Jets 0 at halftime of the game you're not watching.
In case you haven't heard, the New York Jets are not a good football team.

Lol
Adam Gase every 3rd and 3 or less runs a 2 man pick or 3 man pick. The same one. Every time. 🤢 @nyjets— Dan Orlovsky (@danorlovsky7) October 18, 2020

This is actually the worst football team I’ve ever watched at any level. I’ve seen bad #Jets teams before but this is a historic level of ineptitude.
I hope you are having an amazing Sunday, Christopher Johnson!
