As it turns out, the rest of the world has company.
Not even the Jets know what to make of the Jets these days.
But after alternating wins and losses to a 5-5 record, the Jets can’t think abut the fact they’re still technically in the playoff race.
“We’re not going to be a playoff team until they say we’re in the playoffs,” right guard Willie Colon said, via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. “Right now, we just lost to the f--- Buffalo Bills.”
Colon called the up-and-down nature of their season a “broken record,” and wide receiver David Nelson said there was “a lack of maturity” in their inability to do anything two weeks in a row.
Mostly, the Jets appear to be what many imagined going into the season, a talented defense with a rookie quarterback who has been alternately acceptable and “awful,” which was his word for it yesterday.
Until they can decide which one they’re going to be as a team, consistency will be impossible.
