Jets' offense isn't just bad, it's historically bad in feeble loss

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When New York Jets CEO Christopher Johnson hired Adam Gase in January, he paraphrased an old Wayne Gretzky quote, saying, "He's coaching to where football is going." No, he didn't mean the 1970s, but that's exactly where the Jets have landed.

The Jets did absolutely nothing on offense in Sunday's predictable loss to the New England Patriots, 30-14, leaving them at 33 points scored in their 0-3 start -- the third-worst start in franchise history. They scored 24 points in 1971 and 21 in 1976, the year Lou Holtz came out of the college ranks to revive the Jets.
