The 2021 New York Jets failed to meet expectations on multiple levels. The defense gave up the most points in the NFL (29.6 per game) and the offense scored the fifth-fewest points in the league (18.2 per game).
While we saw flashes of success for multiple players on the offensive side of the football, the 2021 season was that of growing pains; both for the fans and players.
Key cogs in the offense missed large portions of the season or were generally unhealthy. This led to an obviously anemic offense.
Going into the 2022 season, however, the narrative around the offense has changed; and should mean that the leeway for offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur should as well.
