We’re near the midseason mark, and the New York Jets’ first full campaign with Aaron Rodgers is already circling the drain. It’s hard not to think otherwise after seeing how Rodgers hasn’t learned anything of note while recent trade acquisition Davante Adams essentially compared the Jets’ morose vibes to the hapless Las Vegas Raiders.
Sunday’s on-field timeout episode against the New England Patriots showed that Rodgers and the Jets really might be irreparably disorganized.
You see, dearest readers, the Jets used all three of their first-half timeouts … after running just 10 plays … in the first quarter.
Timeout and general clock management can’t get more incompetent than that:
The Jets are a mess.
They've used three timeouts (all on offense) before running 10 plays.

The Jets blew out the Patriots in the early season. New England remains one of the NFL’s worst teams. If New York can’t win by double digits again, we’ll point to fiascos like this as even more glaring symptoms of a larger team issue.
