Jets Week 17 report card: One of the worst-coached teams ever

Grading the Jets’ 40-14 road loss to the Bills on Sunday:

Offense

This was another week of offensive futility.

The Jets did not reach the end zone until the fourth quarter when they were already down 40-0 and Tyrod Taylor was at quarterback.

QB Aaron Rodgers (12 of 18, 112 yards, 2 INTs, 44.0 rating) had a terrible game.

His second interception flipped the momentum toward the Bills in the third quarter.

The Jets’ three first-half possessions ended in a turnover on downs, an interception and a safety.

The offensive line allowed four sacks of Rodgers.

WR Garrett Wilson (7 catches, 66 yards, 1 TD) has been vocal about his unhappiness but he was part of the problem with a fumble Sunday.

Grade: F

Defense

What has happened to this once proud unit?

The Jets were no match for Bills QB Josh Allen (16 of 27, 182 yards, 2 TDs, 104.2 rating, 5 rushes, 17 yards, 1 TD) and the Buffalo offense.

Allen did not even play his best game but he was good enough in this one.

The Bills scored five touchdowns and were 3-for-3 in the red zone.

The Jets failed to sack Allen and barely got any pressure on him, which made their defensive backs have to cover for way too long.

It’s hard to find anything the Jets defense is doing well at the moment and they commit so many dumb penalties.

Grade: F

Special teams

This was a pretty nondescript game for this unit.

Punter Thomas Morstead did pin the Bills at the 1-yard line with one of his punts in the third quarter.

The Jets did not do much in the return game.

They did allow a 45-yard kickoff return to former Jet Ty Johnson.

Kicker Greg Zuerlein did not attempt any kicks in his first game back from injured reserve.

Grade: C+

Coaching

The Jets are one of the worst-coached teams you’ll ever see.

They don’t play complementary football.

They are terrible in short yardage situations.

They are a sloppy team that has talent but still finds ways to look hideous.

The Jets committed 16 penalties, including five personal fouls, on Sunday.

Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich is now 2-9 since taking over for Robert Saleh and his team looks lost.

Grade: F
