"The problem is not primarily that the Jets are losing games, but the fact they are showing no significant progress. Three key points of emphasis have been avoiding turnovers, forcing turnovers and limiting penalties. So the Jets lost a fumble by Breece Hall on the biggest play of the game, became the first NFL team since at least 1933 to open the season without a takeaway after five games and had 10 accepted penalties for 61 yards."
"The latest indignity came on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, where the Jets were back home to face the mediocre Cowboys, aiming to show the world they at least are building something better. Instead, they lost, 37-22, and now are 0-5 under Glenn. The game was not nearly as competitive as that score suggests, thanks to some garbage time scoring from the Jets after an embarrassment of a first half."
"Why was Dak Prescott able to find George Pickens for a 43-yard touchdown pass with Gardner covering him one-on-one in the third quarter? The game already was lost at that point, as the touchdown and extra point made it 30-3. But it was a bad look seeing one of the team's biggest young stars have that done to him."
The Jets have produced an unacceptable, unwatchable and unbelievable season under rookie coach Aaron Glenn, sitting 0-5 with little sign of improvement. The team lost 37-22 to the Cowboys after an embarrassing first half and only garbage-time scoring. Core emphases — avoiding turnovers, forcing takeaways and limiting penalties — have failed: a key Breece Hall fumble, no takeaways through five games and 10 accepted penalties for 61 yards. Coverage breakdowns, including a blown one-on-one on George Pickens, and persistent undisciplined play reflect poorly on Glenn, his staff and the players. Fans expected improvement but continue to see repeated mistakes.
