New York football is a disaster this season. The Jets and Giants have played seven games total and never really threatened to win any of them. While the Giants have suffered from a combination of injuries and old fashioned ineptitude, the Jets have an air of Mets-style disfunction around them. When they lose, they at least have the decency to find interesting and increasingly embarrassing ways to do it.
Take Thursday night’s loss to the Broncos for example. Not only did the Jets drop a game at home to a previously winless team playing a third-string quarterback, they did it in a way that pissed off the opposing coach and the mother of their own star rookie.
