It’s also hard not to take what you saw Thursday night and start thinking about just how good the Jets could be this season under Robert Saleh.
This is true. But in many years the Jets’ hopes were already slipping away by this point of the season. The Jets seem to win every offseason and the good vibes are always high between March and August. Then, like the leaves changing colors, the Jets’ hopes turn from “We can be a good team” to “Is someone going to get fired?”Before this season, the Jets were 2-16 in September dating back to the second game of the 2018 season.
This is the team that Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh have been building over their time together. It was supposed to arrive last year but Rodgers’ injury delayed the schedule. Now, we can see a talented, deep team that does not have many weaknesses.This is a make-or-break year for the Douglas and Saleh regime. They are out of mulligans and excuses. They either win and save their jobs this season or they will be cleaning out their offices come January.
Douglas has built the Jets steadily, landing stars Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardner and Hall in what might go down as the best draft in Jets history when their careers are over. He supplemented that with sneaky good free agent signings like Tyler Conklin and D.J. Reed. He has made his share of mistakes both in the draft and in free agency but every GM has. Douglas has not been stubborn about moving on from his mistakes.
As for Saleh, many point to his 20-34 record and say it is proof he can’t coach. But Saleh has built a strong defense and overseen a culture change. Remember where the Jets were when he arrived in 2021 coming off a disastrous 2-14 season with little talent in the building and malcontents in the locker room. Saleh has flipped the feeling around inside the organization.
