The New York Jets were burned both on and off the field in Week 8.
The Jets (2-6) lost to the New England Patriots (2-6) in a 25-22 final. It was not a pretty showing as the scoreboard shows.
New York is now on a five-game losing streak and falling to New England is the lowest point. The Pats are among the worst rebuilding teams in the NFL… and still, the Jets failed to beat them.
The headlines reflected that.
Here is a nation media reaction roundup to the Jets loss to the Patriots:

Jets need to trade for , Jets need to do this and that. Maybe just maybe the Jets are a bad team with an old quarterback who isn’t who he was and giving him all the power in the organization was a terrible idea

In a season filled with embarrassing performances, that was the worst.
In a history filled with horrible seasons, this may be the worst.
The #Jets of 2024 are one of the truly colossal failures in recent sports memory.
And it only gets worse from here.

The Jets are 0-3 since firing Robert Saleh and were favorites in 2 of those games. Wild.

So, are we ready to say firing Robert Saleh appears to be a mistake? #Jets pic.twitter.com/vWVBayOjny

The Jets went all in on 2024 and won’t dump their kicker who costs them 4-6 points every week. It’s hilarious.

Winning percentage as Jets starter:
Zach Wilson .352
Aaron Rodgers .333 (really .250)— Steve Palazzolo (@StevePalazzolo_) October 27, 2024

Just when you think the Jets can’t hit a new low.
Greg cost em Denver, Bills, Pats.
This is total unacceptable embarrassment.
This is like Mark Sanchez running into Brandon Moore’s ass on loop.
