Aaron Rodgers had his dreaded Welcome to the Jets moment with offense out of sync

The Jets needed Aaron Rodgers to be Superman, but he finished a dreary, misty MetLife Stadium afternoon battered and beaten and visibly frustrated and in need of a hot tub for both legs, his cape lost and a game lost that never should have been lost.Robert Saleh and Rodgers had 10 days to prepare for the Sean Payton-Bo Nix Broncos and you would have thought it was 10 minutes … 13 penalties? These aren’t the Same Old Jets (I don’t think).But that’s Same Old Jets crap.This was no MVP Rodgers and these were no Super Bowl Jets.“I think we were kinda killing ourselves, I can’t say I had a spectacular game, I missed some throws, the weather sucked,” Rodgers said, “but so did some of my throws.”He was under repeated duress and he came up limping following a fourth-quarter sack looking like a 40-year-old quarterback for the first time this season.It marked the fifth time in Rodgers’ career that his offense did not score a touchdown.“When your defense holds ’em to 10, you gotta win the game 100 percent of the time,” Rodgers said.

“That’s on the offense, it’s on me.Yeah, not good enough.”This was a comedy of errors — except Rodgers (24-42, 225 yards) wasn’t laughing after Broncos 10, Jets 9.

He was wincing (five sacks).He orchestrated an undisciplined offensive unit — five false starts, a field goal following first-and-goal at the 1 — that acted as if his cadence was suddenly a foreign language.“That was way out of character for us,” Rodgers said.“Seems like an outlier.

I don’t know if we need to make mass changes based on kind of an outlier game.”He could not get Greg Zuerlein closer than a missed 50-yard field goal wide right in the final minute.He was gifted one last chance at his 40 with 1:27 and no timeouts left after Will Lutz missed a 50-yard field goal.Aided by a pass interference on Riley Moss against Mike Williams, Rodgers advanced to the Denver 32.

But then threw incomplete for Williams.On the previous series,...
