New York Jets fans shouldn’t be surprised, but their team was just listed as one of the most miserable franchises in the NFL.

Mike Sando of The Athletic recently did a piece where he gathered the “misery meter” to some of the more underperforming teams in the NFL, and lo and behold, the Jets are right there.

New York is the only winless team in the league and after 15 seasons without a playoff appearance, it’s no surprise why it’s front and center on this list.

It seems like the Jets’ issues always stem from something different. From having a great offense, with not enough defense; to having a great defense, but the offense is barren.

And then when the Jets picked up Aaron Rodgers a few years back, the fans thought that the playoff drought was going to come to a conclusion – and then he popped his achilles in the first drive.

The drama hasn’t ended. When it was clear that the Rodgers/Jets marriage wasn’t working, the Jets hired coach Aaron Glenn, who served as a defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions to be their head honcho.

In 2024, Glenn helped Detroit finish sixth last season in rushing yards allowed per game, and 11th in points per game allowed.

This season as the Jets head coach? New York currently allows the second most points per game, and the sixth most rushing yards allowed with an 0-5 record -- the first ever in Jets history.

One anonymous executive told Sando that he was fascinated that the Jets (and Raiders) can’t do anything right when it comes to their coaches’ specialties.

"What I think is so interesting is the two guys that want to run the defensive programs and get the veteran quarterbacks to run the ball and play defense can't run the ball and can't play defense,"

Jets running back Breece Hall has been solid so far to start the season, and ran for 113 yards in yesterday’s loss against the Dallas Cowboys, and even Hall has subtly indicated that he’s starting to lose patience with the only franchise he’s ever known.

“I’m in my fourth year,” Hall said, “and I don’t have a lot of time left to prove what I want to do and who I can be in this league.” 

And he’s not wrong. Running backs in the NFL have such a short shelf life, averaging a career span of 2.57 years. Because of that, there has been constant contention with running backs and teams about getting rewarded with a higher paying contract.

With Hall already passing that 2.57 mark, he’s facing a contract season. And given that quote, it sends a strong message to the Jets that he may be thinking about life after Gang Green.
