Jets Disgrace Themselves Again Against Banged Up Niners

 49ers 31 - JETS 13 

Leave it to the Jets to find a way to not only lose, but get destroyed by a football team that suffered five critical injuries in the process as the 49ers dismantled the helpless Jets 31-13. 

 

Just days after Jets CEO praised head coach Adam Gase, calling the embattled coach "Brilliant," one has to wonder what the Jets front office is thinking now. 

The Jets were noncompetitive, and played unmotivated over the course of 60 minutes. It was really a game between the 49ers and the MetLife Stadium turf, with the Jets just there to keep things interesting. 

Raheem Mosert's 80-yard touchdown less than 30 seconds into the ball game punctuated what was a horrible day for the Jets as the Niners took the early 7-0 lead. They never looked back. 

Before leaving the game with a high ankle sprain, Jimmy Garopollo torched the Jets defense, completing 14-of-16 passes and 131 yards, including leading two scoring drives with a pair of touchdown passes to Jordan Reed as the Niners built a 21-3 advantage into the half. 

And think about it folks, the Niners lost Garopolo, defensive end Nick Bosa, defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, Mosart and Tevin Coleman in this game, and still held the Jets to two field goals before New York scored a garbage time touchdown late in the fourth quarter. That is how bad the Jets are, and how good the Niners depth and coaching is. 

Bosa, by the way, could be out for the season with an ACL tear in his knee for San Francisco. 

As for the Jets, their offense was putrid yet again. Sam Darnold looked totally lost yet again, completing 21 of 32 for 179 yards. For the better part of the afternoon he was throwing into the teeth of the Niners battered front seven, and looked completely uncomfortable in the pocket. It is almost like Darnold has gone backwards in time and returned to playing like a rookie. 

Head Coach Adam Gase clearly has no answer for his third year quarterback, and the front office did next to nothing to get him a supporting cast. When your so-called franchise quarterback is throwing to the likes of Braxton Berrios, Chris Hogan and Josh Malone, it's not a good thing. 

At 0-2 the Jets look like a team that is defiantly on its way to becoming the NFL's worst team. Put them on the clock right now for the number 1 pick in the 2021 draft, this sorry excuse for a football team is not ready for primetime.
