We'll talk about whether fans should root for the tank. Should Jets fans be rooting for losses to improve the team's draft position in 2026 and maybe get a quarterback? We'll talk about why the Jets commits so many penalties. And we'll talk about so much more. It is our weekly mailbag show. Each Wednesday, we try to do a mailbag with listener questions. Thanks so much to everybody who sent in questions. Let's begin with our first question. John, who do you blame more for the Jets start in 2025, the players or the coaches?

I think everybody's got to take some blame for the way the Jets have started the season.

And by everybody, I even include the previous regime, Joe Douglas and Robert Sala,

because I think Douglas and Sala made big mistakes that are still impacting this team.

You know, they haven't been gone for that long. And of course, a lot of that goes back to the way the Jets handled 20, 23 and 2024,

all the resources they borrowed from the future to try and load up around Aaron Rogers.

I mean, at the point the Jets traded for Rogers, the common perception around the fan base was,

this is going to hurt the team in 2025.

The question was, would you have enough success in 23 and 24 to justify it?

Of course, the answer was no.

So not only did you hurt 20, 25, you had no success in 23 or 24.

But even stepping away from Rogers, I think if you look at Douglas' record, a lot of the issues the Jets have go back to mistakes he made.

Look at Douglas' draft record.
