Desperate Woody Johnson has all his chips on table with no Jets excuses left

PITTSBURGH — Woody Johnson’s chips have now aggressively been shoved to the center of the table. The last chip — maybe the last chance at this thing before the Jets brass is napalmed for the umpteenth time in Johnson’s 24-year tenure as the team’s owner — was the acquisition of star receiver Davante Adams this week in advance of Sunday’s must-win game at Pittsburgh. Johnson last week fired his head coach of three-plus years, Robert Saleh, expecting the shake-up to provide a spark for his underachieving team. He expected his team to play a better, more disciplined brand of football under interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich — with fewer penalties, as well as a more efficient offense with embattled offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett having been demoted and tasked with overseeing the Penske files. And this is what Johnson got in Monday night’s 23-20 home loss to the Bills: a carbon copy of the performances the Jets delivered under Saleh’s watch as they went 2-3 in the first five games. The Jets committed 11 penalties for 110 yards, were 1-of-4 in the red zone and missed two killer field goals. They enter this game against the 4-2 Steelers on a three-game losing streak — coming up short by a combined 10 points. Will Davante Adams, the latest addition in the Jets effort to surround quarterback Aaron Rodgers with everything he wants, make up for those 10 points moving forward? “It’s a must win,’’ receiver Allen Lazard told The Post.“We’re 2-4 right now, and I think our talent definitely isn’t a reflection on our record.

We’ve got to put together four good quarters and do whatever it takes to come out of there with a W.’’ This game features a Jets team frantically making changes in an effort to keep their season from sliding down a ravine, and the other, the 4-2 Steelers, making a significant change at quarterback this week in an effort to go from good to better, maybe even great. The Steelers could easily have left good...
