On a scale of 1 to 10, the crew is feeling very 4th-quarter-Jets. This week, Joe, Matt, and Alana break down a surprisingly tight 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. Was it a moral victory or familiar heartbrk? We talk Geno’s late fumble, electric 100-yard days for Garrett Wilson and Kenyon Sadiq, injury updates on Breece Hall, and that bizarre dropkick attempt.

Plus around the NFL: Jameis wins, the Giants trade for JJ McCarthy, Drake Maye’s 6-INT nightmare in New England, and potential trade buzz around Marvin Harrison Jr. Finally, we preview a tricky matchup against Case Keenum and the Chicago Bears before dropping our score predictions.

Joe, Alana, and Matt are back and talking Jets football and the expectations for the 2026-2027 season ahead!

This week on Three Cranky Jets Fans, we hold a solemn—but deeply sarcastic—funeral for the 2025 New York Jets season. Joe opens the show with a full eulogy for a year that began with cautious optimism and ended in historic misery. Blowout losses, missed tackles, errant passes, and shattered dreams are laid to rest beneath the foul stench of the Meadowlands.

After welcoming the remaining members of Jets Nation, Joe, Matt Callahan, and Alana Close-Morone turn the episode into a full-on group therapy session.

Topic 1: Joe recaps the unthinkable 3–14 season and explains why this team belongs in the same historical dumpster as the worst Jets teams of all time. No interceptions. Record-setting blowouts. A finish so bad it rewrote the history books.

Topic 2: Matt runs through the league’s post-season coaching carnage—seven head coaches fired—and marvels at how Aaron Glenn somehow survives it. From Harbaugh to Daboll to Carroll, it’s a bloodbath… just not in Florham Park.

Topic 3: Alana looks ahead to the offseason chaos: trades, free agency, the second overall pick, and whether there’s anyone worth keeping. The crew plays armchair GM, debates veteran QBs, rookie development, roster depth, and the overwhelming need for… well, an entire defense.

Finally, the big question: Who’s really to blame? (Spoiler: Woody Johnson’s name comes up.)

We close out the episode thanking listeners for sticking through a strange season of Jets football and podcasting alike. Follow, review, and join us again as draft season approaches—maybe before, maybe after, maybe both.

Until then: harden your hearts… and don’t buy any Jets merch.
