Jets & Giants Equals at Horrible in 2024

 If you were a betting man, and decided to put down some dough on the Giants AND Jets both being horrible this year, it would have been an ill-advised bet ... back in August. 

But, now? Well let's just say both the Jets and Giants are back in familiar territory -- at least familiar for the past decade -- both are 2-6 and buried in last place in their respective divisions. 

For the Giants this was expected.

The Giants made a lot of bad decisions the past two years, namely re-signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a multi-year deal, and letting running back Saquon Barkley walk to the Philadelphia Eagles. We could look at Big Blue's infamous appearance on 'Hard Knocks' in the off-season, and come to the conclusion that the ship Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are running isn't exactly tight. 

Yet, owner John Mara gave both the dreaded vote of confidence last week, hinting he won't make any sudden moves during the year, or in the off-season. We'll see how he feels come January when the season ends. 

The Giants need to hit the re-set button regardless. 

As for the Jets, this was supposed to be their Super Bowl season. 

They had a healthy Aaron Rodgers, a top-5 defense, and young skill players like Garret Wilson and Breece Hall in the mix. 

Instead everything has gone snake eyes for Gang Green. 

Rodgers looks old and beaten; he struggles to make plays on the field, and the owner acquiesces to his every demand. Many believe Rodgers is the reason why Robert Saleh was abruptly fired after the Jets trip to London in Week 5. He is also believed to be the reason why the Jets decided to take on all of Devante Adams expensive contract from the Raiders. 

Bottom line nothing is working for the Jets. 

Since firing Saleh, the Jets are 0-3, and look worse each and every week as they coast through a five game losing streak. 

They play host to the Texans on Thursday, and play Arizona 10 days after that. In short, Lord knows when the Jets will win a game again this season. It's that bad. 

So as the baseball season comes to an end, we are left with the ruins of football, and it ain't looking good.
