The New York Jets season is, finally, over. They were blown out at the hands of their division rival, the Buffalo Bills, by a final of 35-8. With the loss, the Jets secured the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and now plenty of time will be devoted to what they may or may not do with that selection in April. This game was a tough one to watch, and analyze. The Jets didn't field their best, most talented unit for this game with players such as Breece Hall being named inactive. And even with that, this group made the Buffalo backups look like an All-Pro group themselves. Now that this year is in the rearview mirror, the focus can be on the complete revamp of this roster in the offseason. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

It's not much of a surprise that the New York Jets lost to the New England Patriots, it's more about what it looked like in the 42-10 loss on Sunday. Let's face reality, the New York Jets (through trades and injuries) have seen their roster get gutted and are in a glorified tank to secure the best possible spot in the 2026 NFL Draft. So when that roster steps on the field against perhaps the best team in the AFC, this result feels some what expected. Yet, allowing the Patriots to score touchdowns on their first six posessions and watching Drake Maye sit down midway through the 3rd quarter isn't exactly what you want to be seeing as a Jets fan. This is the Jets reality. A gutted football team that doesn't really belong on the field against the Patriots (or most teams for that matter). And luckily, for everyone involved, there's just one more to go. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The New York Jets offense did a whole lot of nothing in a 29-6 loss against the New Orleans Saints. It was the second straight start for Jets QB Brady Cook, who the team said they wanted to continue to evaluate. Well, they couldn't have liked what they saw. Cook was sacked eight times and committed two turnovers. As a team, it was a day of just 195 yards of total offense for New York. On the other side of the ball, a much better effort was shown early. New defensive coordinator Chris Harris had that side of the ball playing at a much better level in the opening stages, which included a turnover created on the Saints first drive of the game. But, in a theme for the Jets over the last couple of years, the offensive struggles put too much on the defense's plate and the 29 points scored by the Saints were just too much for today. Two games remainn for the Jets, against two divisional foes with the New England Patriots up next. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official. Join the Lo
