This was always set up to be a make or break year for the tandem of New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan and head coach Todd Bowles. Last year was a mulligan.
The national media suggested the Jets wouldn’t win a game and the roster was devoid of proven talent. The bar was set so low that the Jets just had to do the bare minimum to ‘exceed’ expectations.
The training wheels are off now, this team is expected to learn how to ride a bicycle sooner rather than later.
