Jets’ Playoff Drought Hits 12 Years

Sleepless in Seattle.

That’s what Jets followers are feeling after a 7-4 season with playoff hopes…grew to become 7-9 and playoff elimination with nonetheless a recreation left. What the heck occurred? This Jets collapse would have been onerous to fathom, if not for tortured historical past of the franchise. Twelve years now of no playoff appearances, greater than anybody else within the NFL. It’s been a dozen years of futility. And there nonetheless isn’t any reply for an important place in sports activities.

No touchdowns. 5 straight losses. Geno Smith getting revenge in a 23-6 win. There’s loads to unpack on a brand new episode of “Gang’s All Right here” podcast after a very embarrassing exhibiting from the Jets in Seattle towards the Seahawks on New Yr’s Day. Jets YouTuber Matt O’Leary, Brian Costello and me have you ever lined on the newest episode of the pod.

Gang’s All Right here Podcast with Jake Brown & Matt O’Leary:

• SLEEPER IN SEATTLE: I open up the present with a monologue on the Jets’ pitiful turnaround from 7-4 to 7-9. The group didn’t present up in Seattle. They had been lifeless. The Jets had playoff hopes and now they’re finished. We go away this season nonetheless asking: who the heck is the Jets QB? They aren’t on the roster.
• MATT O’LEARY STATE OF JETS: “Simply Jets” podcast host and YouTuber joins me for the opening section. At one level we had been dreaming of ending the playoff drought. It’s again to planning for QB and mock drafts and free company. It’s unhappy that that is the place we’re proper now after speaking a few group forward of schedule just some weeks in the past.
• MIKE LaFLEUR’S MURKY FUTURE: Completely horrible day calling performs. Third-and-4 draw play is unacceptable. There was no trickery in any respect. They by no means used Chris Streveler, which is not sensible since he was energetic. LaFleur’s job needs to be in query with how horrible the offense has been. Matt thinks they may run it again with him.
• FUTURE JETS QUARTERBACK: Mike White was dangerous Sunday. He’s not going to be the beginning QB subsequent season. He’s proven he’s a superb backup to step in and make a number of begins, however he’s in all probability not the franchise QB. The Jets beginning QB subsequent season will not be on the roster. Derek Carr may find yourself being the man. Possibly Jimmy Garoppolo. Possibly a pipe dream in Aaron Rodgers. The Jets have to discover a legit veteran QB to take the reigns no less than for 2023.
• BRIAN COSTELLO: Coz stops by for the second half of the present from Seattle.

  – Coz questions LaFleur for the primary time and wouldn’t be shocked in the event that they determined to maneuver on from him. That was a horrid day of playcalling. No touchdowns the final two weeks. 4 of their final 5 video games. That’s onerous to be that dangerous. Laborious to kill the protection when the offense simply will not be scoring.

  -The one approach Robert Saleh is gone is that if Sean Payton comes right here. It’s playoffs or bust for Saleh subsequent season.

  -Coz was on the newest “One Jets Drive” episode.
