The cornerstones are crumbling, the faces of the franchise largely contributing to the Jets' downfall this season.
General manager Mike Maccagnan said Wednesday he's disappointed with the way the Jets have played this season but does not regret a couple of his decisions that have had a hand in their 3-7 record.
With the starting quarterback spot up for grabs, the New York Jets head into the bye week with more questions than answers, as they must decide weather to go with Fitzpatrick or Petty.
Jets coach Todd Bowles says he will not make a decision until next Monday on New York's starting quarterback for its game against New England on Nov. 27.
Petty made his first career start in Sunday's 9-6 home loss to the Rams. He was 19-of-32 passing for 163 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Gang Green's Nov. 27 game against the Patriots will not be a nighttime affair on NBC, as originally scheduled.
When the Jets made their first breech of the red zone on Sunday -- it really happened -- our televisions flashed a fascinating stat.
Kicker Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals, including the game-winning 34-yarder with 6:52 remaining in the fourth quarter, as the Los Angeles Rams edged the New York Jets 9-6 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The Jets ran a trick play to get their first score of the day.
Mangold has a sprained right ankle that is likely to keep him out Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
Fitzpatrick was injured Sunday at Miami in the third quarter of New York's 27-23 loss, but returned to finish the game while wearing a brace on the knee. He said Wednesday that he would again wear a brace on Sunday against Los Angeles if he plays.
The cracks in Bowles' once-solid wall widened over the last couple of days, and it wouldn't be surprising if the whole thing comes tumbling down over the seven remaining games.
Sunday's incomprehensible 27-23 loss in Miami was a microcosm for all that has plagued this franchise, with maybe a handful of exceptions, over these many seasons.
Looking to get back on the winning track, the NY Jets offense must find a way to get something going against a solid LA Rams defense in Week 10 of the 2016 NFL season.
Todd Bowles' team is 3-6, matching its loss total from last season, and its playoff prospects already appear highly unlikely. The second-year coach, however, doesn't agree with the increasingly negative perception.
