The New York Jets’ 2024 season hit another low point Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, encapsulating their year-long struggles in a single game.
Despite strong defensive play through three quarters, the offense once again failed to deliver.
The familiar recipe for disaster played out – poorly timed turnovers, squandered opportunities in crucial moments, and a flood of undisciplined penalties that have become the team’s hallmark.
The situation has become so dire that prominent analyst Mike Francesa unleashed a scathing critique of the Jets’ coaching staff on his podcast.
In a no-holds-barred segment of “The Mike Francesa Podcast,” the veteran commentator ripped into the coaching staff’s decision-making abilities, particularly targeting their situational choices as the worst he’s seen from an interim coaching regime.
“Please don’t let the doors hit you on the way out. I wouldn’t hire any of them for anything. I mean, that’s the worst coaching staff I’ve ever seen, what are they doing? They can’t make a right decision ever,” Francesa fumed.

His criticism focused heavily on the Jets’ kicking game woes, pointing to a season-long pattern of missed field goals and extra points that have proven costly.
For Francesa, it’s not just poor performance – it’s a level of coaching incompetence he claims he’s never witnessed in his extensive career following the sport.
While Aaron Rodgers has shown glimpses of both brilliance and inconsistency this season, the latest defeat can’t be pinned solely on his shoulders.
His numbers tell part of the story: 28 completions on 42 attempts for 256 yards, managing one touchdown without any interceptions, though he did take a sack and lose a fumble.
At 4-11, the Jets have mastered the art of finding new ways to lose. Any positive momentum they generate seems to vanish beneath an avalanche of costly mistakes, and close games consistently slip through their fingers in the final moments.
For the faithful Jets fanbase, the only silver lining is that just two games remain in this nightmare of a season.
