NFL World Reacts to Jets' Embarrassing Blowout Loss to Cowboys

Some fans were saying this year's Jets are the worst team they've seen from the franchise.

The Jets fell to 0-5 on the season after a crushing 37-22 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

It was an embarrassing loss on all fronts for New York as they hosted the Cowboys at home. The Jets started off the game with a field goal on their first drive, but then didn't score again until the start of the fourth quarter with another field goal. In that span, the Cowboys scored 30 points.

While New York did score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, by that point of the game, the outcome was all but decided.

Quarterback Justin Fields and the New York offense can’t seem to click, and oftentimes they don’t even have the chance to—the offensive line allowed Fields to get sacked five times on Sunday.

Through five games, Fields is already getting questioned as the team's starter, and coach Aaron Glenn is already on the hot seat. He's just the fourth coach in the Super Bowl era to allow the his opponents to score at least 27 points in the first four games of the season, per ESPN's Rich Cimini. Not a great look for a coach that came in as a defensive mind.

Jets fans and the NFL world in general were understandably pessimistic about the team's future this season.

Here's some of the negative reactions the Jets received on Sunday afternoon.

Aaron Glenn screamed at his team so loudly Monday night that they came out today and played their worst game of the year.

No fire, no fight, no chance.

The #Jets aren’t anywhere near the worst team in football. But they’re playing like it.

How does Aaron Glenn survive this season? The Jets are getting worse by the week. He’s a defensive coach and the defense is awful. Etc …

It’s saying a lot but this is the most unwatchable Jets season we have seen since Kotite

Jets/Mets fans, you don't HAVE to do this. You really don't.

Jets just need to clean out almost everyone on this roster.

Watching Friday night lights is better than watching the Jets play football…
