"the Giants and the Jets both are 0-2, a pitiful reflection of their overall ineptitude and yet a steep disappointment based on where we were less than a month ago. Back then everything was rosy, optimism was high and there was legitimate hope that this season would be different from so many of recent vintage. Aaron Glenn was the coach who was going to change the Jets. Russell Wilson was the quarterback who was going to fix the Giants. So far everything feels morbidly similar."
"The Jets at least have the luxury of time. Glenn is two games into his tenure; the same goes for general manager Darren Mougey. Frustrations may be mounting, but there also is an underlying patience. It is far too soon to suggest that Glenn isn't the long-term answer for this franchise that he was perceived to be over the summer."
Both New York NFL teams started 0-2 and are underperforming after optimistic offseason expectations. Aaron Glenn and Russell Wilson were seen as fixes, but early results remain disappointing and similar to past struggles. This is the fifth season in the past decade in which both teams opened with two losses, and recent injuries have compounded the sense of setback. The Jets’ leadership changes are very recent, offering time for adjustment, while frustrations coexist with patience. Glenn needs to learn and improve as a head coach, and belief and focus among coaches and players are required to reverse outcomes.
