The New York Jets suffer 13 consecutive years without playoffs

The New York Jets have experienced a prolonged drought of playoff appearances, extending 13 years without making it to the postseason. This streak has resulted from a series of questionable decisions in team management and player acquisitions over the years. Notably, the team's decision to acquire Tim Tebow in 2012, intended to bolster the offense as a backup to Mark Sanchez, was widely criticized and ultimately ineffective. Furthermore, the team's 2014 NFL draft under General Manager John Idzik is infamous for its lack of success, as he utilized all 12 draft picks without a measurable impact on the roster. The combination of these poor choices reflects a broader pattern of mismanagement within the organization that continues to plague them, leading to low expectations among fans and stakeholders alike.
