NFL Overreactions Week 8: Raiders, Jets Established As Worst Teams
The Jets try to keep pace with Oakland for title of NFL’s worst team
Long story short, the Jets suck – period. It will be surprising if Rex Ryan keeps his job this week, as the Jets fall to 1-7 after their embarrassing 43-23 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Quarterback Geno Smith was pulled after throwing three interceptions in the first four possessions while his backup, Michael Vick, fumbled the ball four times, losing it twice and threw a pick.
Smith’s line read: 2-for-8, 5 yards, 3 interceptions.
“We didn’t execute,” Smith said. “And when I say `we,’ I mean myself because it was just atrocious the way I started out.”
Ryan (who, again, should be fired) lost his composure on the sideline, having to be restrained by his staff when he went off on an official while he watched his team get completely dismantled at home. The last time the Jets had a long losing streak last for seven games, Herm Edwards was on his way out.
Look for Ryan to follow suit.
“Let me tell you,” head coach Rex Ryan said, “I’m getting sick and tired of the losing, that’s for sure.”
It’s safe to say that everyone around the Jets – players, staff, fans – are all tired of the losing.
That’s for sure.
