New York Jets fans have every reason to be furious after Monday night, as the team fell to 0-4 for the first time since 2020 under Adam Gase with a brutal 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Former players are included in that frustration.
After the defeat, former Jets offensive lineman Damien Woody took to X, blasting Aaron Glenn and the coaching staff for costly penalties, lackluster defensive play, and an overly conservative offense, which contributed to the team’s fourth consecutive loss to start the season.
Woody lambasted the Jets with multiple harsh criticisms throughout the night, calling them “conservative on offense” and labeling the team’s performance as “beyond embarrassing.”
The Jets committed 13 penalties for 101 yards and failed to secure a turnover for the fourth straight game. New York, meanwhile, lost three fumbles.
This latest loss is among the most crushing for a fanbase that has endured years of frustration. The Dolphins entered Monday night without a win, yet they outplayed the Jets in every critical moment and facet, leaving New York as one of two winless teams in the NFL.
The sheer volume of penalties, the continued inability to generate a single turnover this season, and the costly mistakes on both sides of the ball have fueled questions about the team’s discipline and direction.
Fans and former players like Woody have every right to be irate. Losing to a winless team in prime time, especially with the season already slipping away in late September, has only added question marks regarding head coach Aaron Glenn and the organization’s fresh regime.
The Jets will return home to face the 1-2-1 Dallas Cowboys next Sunday, still searching for their first victory and grasping for answers in a season that already feels over before the calendar has even flipped to October.
