This was close to the worst-case scenario for the New York Jets.
After a rousing rendition of the national anthem by the MetLife faithful, the Jets came out flat and faceplanted after halftime.
Maybe it wasn’t quite as ugly as some of the blowouts from last season, but the second half really made Jets fans shake their heads and sigh, “Same old Jets.” (How could anybody argue with that sentiment after looking at the 24-9 final?)
While it’s too early to overreact to one game against a projected top team in the AFC, it’s fair to wonder what went so wrong.
