The New York Jets are struggling with a disappointing 2-6 record, plagued by close losses and critical mistakes. Cornerback D.J. Reed expressed frustration over the team's inability to finish games, while tight end Tyler Conklin noted the team's tendency to falter in crucial moments.

After a recent loss to the New England Patriots, the Jets are on a five-game losing streak, raising questions about the future of the season. Owner Woody Johnson's decision to fire head coach Robert Saleh and replace him with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has not yielded positive results, as the team has lost all three games since the change.

With the NFL trade deadline approaching, general manager Joe Douglas faces tough decisions about the team's direction. Players like Quinnen Williams are performing well, but overall, the team is struggling with consistency and execution across all units.
