It’s been yet another embarrassing and frustrating season for New York Jets fans as Gang Green was utterly crushed by the Buffalo Bills 38-3 Monday night in Detroit.

The offense is still as listless as it has ever been, the defense is doing all that it can, and the team’s most consistent player is still probably Nick Folk. After three seasons of the same tired mediocrity and multiple failed draft picks and experiments to fix the offense, namely the quarterback position, the time has come for owner Woody Johnson to close the circus that the Jets have become, and go out and find a coaching and front office staff who have a concrete and sensible plan for fix the team’s cavalcade of problems.

As the time piles on loss after loss after loss, the seedy inner workings and backroom squabbles and arguments come into the light, which is the telltale sign of the coming end of a coach and/or GM’s tenure for an organization.

According to a report by Mark Cannizzaro, Rex Ryan has been coaching the whole season with the knowledge that John Idzik will be firing at the conclusion of the season. In the report, Ryan hears about this not from Idzik but scouts and coaches from other teams told him that Idzik was planning to can Ryan and bring in his own head coach, which infuriated Ryan to no end.

It’s easy to see that Ryan is a different person this season; the fire and passion that once permeated every decision of Ryan’s is now gone, replaced by defeat and ambivalence.

The undermining of Ryan by Idzik is apparently more devious than that, as its was reported by Manish Mehta that a media official for the Jets stopped Ryan from talking about his visit to see his sick father, former NFL coach Buddy Ryan, over the Jets’ bye week, showing the GM’s growing paranoia over the perception of himself and the organization.

It’s obvious to everyone that Ryan’s time as head coach of the Jets is on its farewell tour, as the GM that’s out to get him will gladly push him on to the sword on “Black Monday.” But if Johnson had any sort of common sense, he’d push Idzik onto the same sword as in his two-year tenure. The only thing that Idzik has to show for it is a failed Geno Smith experiment and an utter mess of a franchise that can sink much lower than it already has.
