Misery Index · Miserable
Jets fans done litigating the short-yardage play sheet and just waiting for Glenn's firing to make it official.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
The J.Sherwood fumble recovery at the NE 36 handed the Jets a live chance in the third, and G.Smith's 48-yard strike to O.Cooper looked like a pulse — then came the sack, the stalled short-yardage snaps, and a G.Smith interception by C.Woods aimed at K.Sadiq that effectively closed the door. Fans are no longer debating the playcalling in shotgun on fourth-and-short. They've just stopped expecting it to work.

The @nyjets currently own picks 9, 10 and 11 in the draft. That'd be pretty funny.

THE NEW YORK JETS HAVE A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY TO REBUILD THEIR FRANCHISE: The #Jets currently hold the 9th, 10th, and 11th overall picks in the 2027 NFL Draft. General manager Darren Mougey has a ton of draft capital to work with moving forward. Franchise changing picks. 👀
