Jets reach new low in loss to Dolphins, and it’s fair to wonder if Robert Saleh is in trouble

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Robert Saleh was once known for his fire. “It’s just, we’re trying to score,” wide receiver Garrett Wilson said about the Hail Mary. “That’s one of them things where that could describe a lot of things so far.” Epitomizing their season, the Jets saw Tim Boyle’s Hail Mary attempt at the end of the first half turn into a pick-six touchdown for the Dolphins. Boyle threw another interception in the fourth quarter — along with a late touchdown to Wilson — and didn’t do much to make the Jets feel like they were appreciably better off with him than someone else at quarterback, finishing with 179 yards on 38 pass attempts. Some in the Jets organization might want to use the Aaron Rodgers injury as an excuse, or the injuries to the offensive line, or the lack of useful weapons outside of Wilson or running back Breece Hall — but they aren’t the first team to suffer through bad luck, to lose their quarterback or to fail to build an adequate roster of talent capable of competing with good teams.
