The New York Jets are getting hammered on social media.

In Week 8, Aaron Rodgers and his team suffered a brutal loss to a bad New England Patriots team. It was another embarrassing defeat that dropped the Jets to 2-6 on the season. Despite having a healthy Rodgers, firing the underperforming Robert Saleh and trading for Davante Adams, Gang Green is still terrible.

The Jets lost 25-22 despite holding the Patriots to 247 yards of total offense. They outgained their opponents by nearly 100 yards, and limited New England to 3.9 yards per play while averaging 5.9 themselves. The Patriots lost starting quarterback Drake Maye early, and neither team turned the ball over. There is zero reason New York should have lost that game. But they found a way.

The NFL world took to X (formerly Twitter) to rip the franchise for being awful and essentially declare the team's season over.

This Jets season can officially be called a disaster. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it did.

Back to the basement for one of the NFL's worst teams.

Jets need more receivers. More pass rushers. More coaches. Just more. Fix it with more.

More.

The Jets are 0-3 since firing Robert Saleh and were favorites in 2 of those games. Wild.

This is actually one of the worst #Jets teams I’ve ever seen and that’s unbelievable.

2-6. Season over before November. 10+ All-Pros on the roster.

None of this should be possible. But the Jets don’t abide by the concept of “logic.”

They live in their own world of dysfunction.

The Jets need to clean house

Fire the coaching staff, fire the GM and cut Aaron Rodgers

This team is going nowhere, even if they pull this game out it doesn’t matter

They are broken

What a waste of time this team is… pic.twitter.com/p2RWtMVOwo

The Jets just lost to a 'soft' Patriots team.

In a season filled with embarrassing performances, that was the worst.

In a history filled with horrible seasons, this may be the worst.

The #Jets of 2024 are one of the truly colossal failures in recent sports memory.

And it only gets worse from here.

The condemnation is fair. The team is less than the sum of its parts. With Rodgers, Adams, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall, the offense should be better. Meanwhile, the defense has never really been this squad's problem. Still, they can't win games.

The Jets are the NFL's biggest disappointment this season.
