Optimism filled the air entering the 2016 season, and why not?
Fresh off a 10-6 season that saw them sign a dynamic running back, trade for former pro-bowler Ryan Clady to fill the hole left by D’Brickashaw Ferguson, and re-sign the quarterback who broke the franchise record for touchdown passes in a season after a long hold out were just a few reasons why expectations were high.
The New York Jets set a 2016 blueprint to win now. Unfortunately, “now” hasn’t worked out.
Sitting at 3-8 heading into Week 13 of the NFL season, winning now is no longer an option.
