I think the issues stem from leadership. This recent slide reeks of 2019. Jets couldn't win a game to save their life and grab hold of 1st in the Central. Same crap here in 2021. There was no Matt Hendricks to parachute in to help bring backing to Wheeler's leadership. All I hear, albeit unconfirmed, is that Wheeler is a terrible leader, and he's grooming Schiefele to be just like him.
I don't know if Maurice is also the problem, but he's certainly not helping anything by letting the "locker room take care of it themselves".
Jets need new leadership IMO and I think Lowry is the guy for this team. We also need some more size and sandpaper. Buff's loss was a huge detriment.
