The Jets keep finding new ways to test the limits of loyalty, and this week is no different. On this episode of Three Cranky Jets Fans, Joe Close-Morone and Matt Callahan hold down the fort while Alana battles through an illness (don’t worry, she’ll live to rant another day).

We start with a painful recap of the Jets’ latest disaster against the Miami Dolphins, a 34–10 loss that somehow felt even worse than the score. We break down the lone bright spot—a punt return touchdown by Isaiah Williams—along with shaky quarterback play, the mysterious “phantom” injury to Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor’s role, and the bigger question no one wants to ask: does it even matter who the QB is at this point?

From there, Matt takes us around the league for some of the most noteworthy (and ridiculous) NFL moments of the week. The Chiefs stumble, the Colts lose Daniel Jones and summon 44-year-old Philip Rivers out of retirement, and somehow this chaos might still help the Jets thanks to that extra first-round pick from the Sauce Gardner trade. Meanwhile, the rest of the AFC East looks annoyingly competent—because of course they do.

Finally, we preview Jets @ Jaguars, and… yeah, it’s bleak. Trevor Lawrence is playing better, the Jags look legit, and the Jets look like they’re heading for another long Sunday. We debate the quarterback situation, set expectations appropriately low, and lock in some truly grim predictions.

Stick around to the end for our trademark send-off, questionable optimism, and a reminder that hope may be dead for now—but there’s always 2026.
