30. As has been the case throughout most of this disappointing year, the Jets once again looked non-competitive. Hence the continuous questions regarding the effort of Todd Bowles’ squad, who have been crushed by the Dolphins (34-13) and Patriots (41-3) in consecutive weeks by a combined 75-16 count. Starting quarterback Bryce Petty would be knocked out of action once again and Ryan Fitzpatrick would get the call. But the duo combined for three interceptions while the Jets as a team turned over the football four times. To say that this team looked lifeless against the rival Patriots would not be a stretch of anyone’s imagination. <p>Offseason Plans: There have been whispers that head coach Todd Bowles’ job could be in jeopardy but you also get the sense some people are reaching when it comes to that theory. One things the Jets need to do before they dive into the draft or free agency is to determine whether their 2017 starting quarterback is currently on the roster.</p> <p>Draft talk: Some would debate taking another quarterback but that seems like a waste of a choice when the team has yet to determine if 2016 second-round pick Christian Hackenberg can play. It’s the secondary that was a major disappointment this year and some cornerback help has to be on the list of April priorities.</p>. 4-11. Previous: . New York Jets. 27. team
