This is the least the Jets can do for their beaten-down fans
Halloween night at MetLife Stadium, and with apologies to Robert Saleh, the mantra of the 2-6 New York Jets has devolved into:ALL TRICK NO TREAT.The Jets were granted six prime-time games because of Aaron Rodgers and the star power that accompanied him.They’re 1-3 in prime time heading into Thursday night’s game against the Texans at MetLife Stadium.It is time for all of their stars to play like stars.“The goal is New Orleans,” Rodgers said in the summer.Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans is in the distance right now.
The goal is 3-6 right now.Woody Johnson would love to make the argument that the Jets have the talent to make a Super Bowl run.Plenty of people who don’t own the Jets were making that argument before the season.This ALL TRICK NO TREAT season.The least they could do is give these poor fans that expected and deserved so much better a TREAT:You, Mr.
Rodgers, you go win the game in the fourth quarter with a two-minute drive if your team asks you for one.You, Davante Adams, you remind us of the rare telepathy you have with Rodgers.Stream the game live on Thursday night on Amazon Prime VideoYou, Garrett Wilson, you have it in you to wreck the game with Adams’ presence getting you a lot more single coverage.You, Breece Hall, be the dual-threat Beast you should be every single week now that play-caller Todd Downing seems interested in balancing out the offense.You, Tyron Smith, you quiet the calls for first-round pick Olu Fashanu to replace you and start reminding people why you will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, if you can.You, Haason Reddick, you start making a better case for that elusive big-ticket contract than you did in your Jets debut against the Patriots.You, Quinnen Williams, you be the dominating force you were against the Patriots (1.5 sacks) and get your tackle numbers (18 on the season) up where they belong.You, Sauce Gardner, you improve your tackling and get your first interception since Nov.6, 2022, against Josh Allen.
