To a man, the Jets believe they are a playoff team. They didn’t look like one and they didn’t play like one when they flopped 27-6 to the Chargers on Monday night.
You close your eyes and allow the imagination to run wild:
Look! It’s Aaron Rodgers walking to the home pregame locker room without a limp and without the use of a cart.
Look! It’s Aaron Rodgers launching bombs on the field before Jets-Chargers.
And then one of these days, here comes Aaron Rodgers, trotting into the Jets’ huddle, a marvel to modern science, uplifting a franchise desperate to end its 12-year playoff drought.
For all of Jetkind, it is a dream worth dreaming.
Just Heal, Baby!
To a man, the Jets believe they are a playoff team.
They didn’t look like one and they didn’t play like one when they flopped 27-6 to the Chargers on Monday night.
And the jury remains out on whether they can be one with Zach Wilson.
The shame of it all is the 4-4 Jets blew an opportunity to close to within half a game of the first-place Dolphins.
Wilson isn’t throwing interceptions. That’s all well and good.
But he isn’t throwing touchdown passes either.
This was one of those occasions when he reminded us that he is a backup quarterback in the NFL.
