Jets Report Card: Robert Saleh's Team Looked Like It Didn't Belong With 49ers

Dismal Performance Raises Questions About Jets' Future

Offense Struggles, Defense Dominated

The New York Jets' disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday has raised serious questions about the team's future.

Despite facing a 49ers team missing several key players, the Jets looked disorganized and outmatched, failing to score a touchdown and committing costly turnovers.

The offense, led by quarterback Zach Wilson, struggled to gain yards and sustain drives, while the defense was unable to contain 49ers quarterback Trey Lance or slow down their potent rushing attack.

Zach Wilson's Struggles Continue

Wilson, who has been under scrutiny for his inconsistent play, had another poor outing, completing just 18 of 38 passes for 154 yards and an interception.

His decision-making was questionable, and he was sacked four times, further hindering the Jets' offensive production.

The Jets' running game, which was expected to be a strength, was also ineffective, gaining only 67 yards on 20 carries.

Defensive Disarray

The Jets' defense, which had shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, was unable to contain the 49ers' balanced attack.

Lance ran for 54 yards and a touchdown, while the 49ers' running backs combined for 192 yards on the ground.

The Jets' pass rush failed to generate pressure on Lance, allowing him to complete 11 of 18 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown.

Coaching Decisions Questioned

Head coach Robert Saleh's decisions also came under fire, particularly his decision to start Bryce Hall at cornerback.

Hall, who has been struggling with injuries, was repeatedly targeted by the 49ers and gave up several big plays.

Saleh's decision to keep linebacker C.J. Mosley on the field despite his poor performance also raised eyebrows.

Looking Ahead

The Jets' loss to the 49ers has cast a shadow over the team's future.

With a 1-3 record, the Jets now face an uphill battle to make the playoffs.

The team's performance has raised questions about Saleh's coaching ability, Wilson's long-term viability as the starting quarterback, and the overall direction of the franchise.
