The New York Jets are in a miserable state, sitting at 2-6 for the year and losers of five straight. The team has fired their coach and done little to support star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“Yeah, frustration for sure,” Rodgers said to the press after the Jets’ 25-22 loss to the Patriots. “We’ve got to score touchdowns… Can’t leave it up to Greg [Zuerlein] or try and pin it on Greg. We had a lot of opportunities to score 30, to make it a two-score game at times, and didn’t do it.”
On the Mike Francesa Podcast, the broadcaster did not hold back, calling out the Jets organization for their inability to succeed, even with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback.

Mike Francesa sounded off: “Everything the Jets touch turns to garbage, complete and utter garbage. I never thought they could top some of the stuff they’ve done in the past.
“Today (after the Patriots defeat) was as low as it could possibly be. They lead (the NFL) in penalties, they lead the league in drops, they lead the league in stupid plays. Rodgers is hurrying to get the play off on every play.”
Other sports pundits, like ESPN’s Evan Cohen, have suggested that the Jets trade Davante Adams and even bench Rodgers if they lose on Thursday against the Houston Texans.
