Jets Drop to Woe and Five with Loss to Cardinals

 CARDINALS 30 - JETS 10 

What's there left to say about the New York Jets at this point? 

The Arizona Cardinals walked into MetLife Stadium and put a severe whooping on a Sam Darnold-less Jets team that couldn't do anything right. How does punting on fourth and one twice within the first five minutes of the game sound to you? 

Or how about the fact the Jets faced a third and short and fourth and short at the Cardinals' 13-yard line and couldn't get a first down, and couldn't score as Arizona held an early 7-0 lead. 

Joe Flacco? Even he had no answers. How could he when every big throw he attempted his recievers like Chris Herndon and Jeff Smith were dropping passes like it was going out of style. The only positive was Jamison Crowder, who hauled in eight balls for 116 yards, including a 52-yard reception in the third quarter, and a touchdown that really wasn't to cap off that drive. 

In short it was just another embarassing defeat. 30-10. It wasn't even close. 

Kyler Murray did exactly whatever he wanted to do, throwing for 380 yards and a touchdown, and running for 31-yards and a score. He had himself a fantasy day. Who doesn't nowadays against the Jets?

Yet, here the Jets stand at 0-5, a team with no life, no presence, no fight. They look and play like a group that had given up the ghost long ago and is playing out the string -- in October. 

If that isn't enough grounds for firing head coach Adam Gase, who knows what will be? 

The Atlanta Falcons fired Dan Quinn, Sunday following the Falcons 23-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He is the second head coach fired within the week, following Houston's Bill O'Brien. Yet, Gase doesn't even come close in resume to those two, and his team loses by 20 to an 'ok' Cardinals team, and still keeps his job. Makes no sense, but these are the Jets for a reason. 

Schedule Changes: 

Due to the League-wide COVID-19 outbreak, the NFL has had to rejigger its schedule and it affects the Jets. New York was schedule to play at the LA Chargers in Week 6, but will now face the Miami Dolphins instead. The Chargers game will be moved to Week 11. The Jets bye week moves up from Week 11 to Week 10. The reason for this is related to the fact the Patriots-Broncos game, scheduled for Monday, was postponed til next Sunday. The Broncos  were scheduled to play the Dolphins next Sunday, but now that they will face the Patriots instead, it created an opening for Miami, and their matchup against the Jets was moved. It makes sense since both the Jets and Dolphins were originally scheduled to play each other in consecutive weeks in late November.
