After a year-long wait, the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets are a hard watch

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Jets players and coaches often talk about how they can’t resort to finger-pointing, even when things are at their worst — which they are right now. “When we saw the field goal team go on we were all happy like: Let’s do what we do,” Reed said. The outside world is going to be pointing fingers — and understandably so — but the guys in the locker room, we have to stick together and I feel like we have the right character guys to do that.” In what has turned into arguably the most disappointing season in Jets history, it is clear that even if the Jets have the right character guys, they don’t have the right guys. He responded, tepidly: “Yeah, I think so.” Sunday’s showing did nothing to make it feel like Rodgers returning to the Jets would be a good thing, for team or player.
