Following the New York Jets' 22-25 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, Frank Schwab and Jason Fitz explain why this is a new low for Gang Green in a season already full of low moments.

Shame on the Jets for playing like trash, but shame on everyone who decided they were suddenly going to be a Super Bowl team, because guess what?

It's not now, that's wrong.

It's all summer.

That was wrong.

The Jets are exactly what I expected them to be all along.

Yes, you were right.

I was wrong.

I thought, I thought Aaron Rodgers would fix everything.

I mean, it's obvious they're a bad football team, bad, bad, straight up, bad.

And as many people have pointed out, Zach Wilson has a better winning percentage than the Jets' starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

That means: Stay with the Jets.

That said, what else could absolutely be said about this Jets team?

This felt like Drago landing the final right hand against Creed.

Like any hope you had, hey, maybe the Jets can turn things around.

I know a very popular network spent way too long when I was at the gym today.

Looking up, I think this is what we're really talking about: Can the Jets make the playoffs?

What should I go?

Jim Bora style?

Like we're just talking about one game, like we're talking about the playoffs with the Jets.

If you had that hope in the back of your mind, it's done.

Now.

They are just a bad football team.

They are in last place in the AFC East.

And there's a reason why they're just not good and it's not going to get much better.

It's that they win a few more games.

But again, bad football team, this whole project didn't work.

And I'm not saying Aaron Rodgers is going to leave his team or anything, but you have to imagine him sitting there saying, “Why am I?”

Can I just be done now?

Can I just retire today?

Because he knows it will be just grind for the rest of the season.

None of this will be fun.

It looks like the Jets team wants to start the offseason soon.

I mean, it's just disgusting for them to lose this game.

Again, Drake did what the Patriots had when Drake May made plays.

He gets thrown out of the game and I think, oh my God, this is going to get ugly.

And you, I just kept watching the game, obviously eight games going off in the morning.

I just kept watching the game.

Will the Jets eventually leave?

Why didn't they do that? They're still two points ahead and just haven't got it done.

You don't have it in you.

You don't have the heart.

You, this team is soft.

They have no heart, they have no desire.

They just look like they're ready for the end of the season again.

They just look like we're going to get out of here and then, in the offseason, it has to be a clean affair.

Right.

As if there was no one to come back from this debacle.

Like this was a dark, dark day for the Jets and all of their fans because all of that Eric Rogers hype was full of hope.

It was kind of broken before today, but now it's just as dead as you, you just lost to the Patriots and Jacoby Burette.

Uh yeah, that's just a terrible way for this whole, uh, this whole project, this whole venture that they've taken.

It's just a strange ending.
