The Jets are formally eradicated from playoff competition, and that’s no shock at this level. The shock will likely be once they some day make it.
Counting the 2024 season, the Jets have now missed the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons. That’s the longest streak within the NFL, and it’s additionally longer than any present playoff drought within the NBA, NHL, MLB or WNBA. The Jets are alone in futility in American sports activities.
The final time the Jets made the playoffs was after the 2010 season, when head coach Rex Ryan and quarterback Mark Sanchez led them to their second consecutive AFC Championship Sport. It’s been downhill from there.
The arrival of Aaron Rodgers final 12 months was supposed to alter issues, but it surely has truly sunk the Jets right into a deeper gap. Final 12 months Rodgers was harm 4 performs into the primary sport and the Jets went 7-10; this 12 months Rodgers has performed each sport and the Jets are 3-10. The roster is in worse form each due to Rodgers’ personal wage cap hit and the personnel strikes they made to appease Rodgers, most of which haven’t panned out.
There’s not a lot cause to be optimistic in regards to the Jets subsequent 12 months, both, though they’ll have a brand new coach and sure a brand new quarterback, and maybe start a rebuild that might get the franchise again into the postseason. Hopefully in lower than 14 years.
