- **Event Description**: Alright Jets Family, let’s talk about where we are and where we’re headed this Sunday.

Last week in Jacksonville was a rough one. The Jets just couldn’t slow down Trevor Lawrence and a Jaguars offense that seemed to have answers for everything. Giving up 48 points is never acceptable, and short fields, missed assignments, and breakdowns across the defense made it a long afternoon. There were a couple of bright spots, including QB Brady Cook throwing his first career touchdown pass and Isaiah Davis providing a spark on the ground, but the game was essentially out of hand by halftime. It was one of those losses that forces some serious self evaluation.

And that evaluation came fast.

On Monday, the Jets made a major change by firing defensive coordinator Steve Wilks after just 14 games, following one of the worst defensive stretches in franchise history. Head Coach Aaron Glenn made it clear that the lack of improvement and structure on that side of the ball could no longer be ignored, especially after allowing 82 points over the last two games. Defensive backs coach Chris Harris will step in as interim coordinator for the final three games, with Glenn heavily involved in game planning. Whether it’s scheme, effort, or accountability, something had to change.

Then came another roster shakeup with the release of wide receiver Allen Lazard. Lazard never really found a consistent role this season, and his departure signals that the Jets are clearly turning the page and taking a long look at who fits moving forward. With younger players getting opportunities, these final games are all about evaluation and seeing who wants to be part of the solution.

Now we turn our attention to this Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

At 3-11 versus 4-10, this Week 16 matchup is one of the most consequential “tank games” of the entire season. From a pure draft perspective, a Jets win actually hurts us. A loss keeps the Jets mathematically alive for the No. 1 overall pick and strengthens their position for a top five selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. A win, on the other hand, helps the Saints and could drop the Jets in draft order due to tiebreakers like strength of schedule.

And yes, quarterback is front and center in this conversation.

Both franchises are clearly still searching for a long-term answer at QB. The 2026 draft class is expected to feature several high-end quarterback prospects, and draft position matters a lot if you want a real shot at a franchise guy. The Jets are in a unique spot since they also own the Colts’ 2026 first-round pick from the Sauce Gardner trade, currently projected around the middle of the round. That gives them flexibility to build, or package picks to move up if needed.

Meanwhile, the Saints have been showing some life lately behind rookie QB Tyler Shough. If he continues to progress, New Orleans may feel comfortable using a higher pick on other needs like pass rush, secondary help, or an offensive playmaker instead of another quarterback.

So yes, it’s strange territory. You want to see effort, development, and pride. But from a big-picture standpoint, Sunday’s result has real implications for the future direction of this franchise.

As always, we’ll be together at Gaspar’s Patio Bar and Grille for the watch party. The big screens will be on the Jets game, the Jets Family will be in the house, and we’ll ride it out together like we’ve been doing for over two decades. If we get a good turnout, we’ll run the 50/50 raffle. If not, we’ll still be giving away Jets merchandise so everyone has a shot to walk out with something.

Wins, losses, draft talk, frustrations and hope, this is what being a Jets fan is all about. Come out, grab a drink, talk football, vent if you need to, and support the green and white with your family.

If you’re a Jets Fan, you’re family.

J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!!!
