    I know these things are kind of a nonsense but its good to see nfl.com has finally caught up with what we have known for weeks - we are now the lowest rated team in the NFL. Enjoy it while it lasts (it may last a while)

    NY Jets - RANK 32

    Previous rank: No. 31

    Gotta agree with what Rich Gannon said on the Jets-Titans broadcast. New York was up three, facing a third-and-5, with just over two minutes to play. Tennessee crowded the line of scrimmage with 10 players. Why not take a deep shot with single coverage? Would that be aggressive? Sure. Who cares when you're 3-8? Go win the darn game. The Jets played not to lose. Understandable, given the game situation, but not with Tennessee begging them to make a move. Would be nice to see teams destined for top-five picks in the 2019 NFL Draft take a few chances.

    CBS has Jets as 32nd as well. Meh.

    Were Jets ever #1 on ESPN Power Rankings during regular season?

    After Sams first throw we were ranked 32. After the Lee interception return touchdown we were 1. Then immediately back to 32. What a night in Detroit...

    Well, somebody has to be 32nd. Might as well be the Jets.

    So the Giants are 'better' than the Jets just because they have one more win than we do? They're terrible and just as bad as the Jets IMO. To Saquon Barkley's credit he is pretty damn good, and I like his personality as well. He's being very diplomatic and not running his mouth. Hopefully Beckham doesn't rub off on him. Anyway, I hate those bastards, and the more they fail the happier I am.

    I picked them to go 7-9 so as of right now I CAN STILL WIN! By the way, don't ever listen to anything I say, especially when it comes to predictions. I suck.

    If any team played the Jets today, they would win. Can anyone argue against this? They deserve last place

    The Jets would lose if they played themselves. At least it would go into OT.

    I bet the closest we got was after beating Tennessee in week 12 in 2008 to go to 8-3. We might have been top 3. Definitely not #1.

    Never cracked top 3 in 1998. There were three teams with 1 or 2 losses, and we lost 3 of our first 5 games.

    We likely would have been #1 at 10-1 back in 1986 (before the roof caved in), but I don't think ESPN power rankings existed back then.

    If you recall, at 8-3 folks were seriously considering a Jets Giants SB.

    The highest I remember us being was #2 on ESPN in week 8 or 9 after that long winning streak we had.

    Wonder how many sane neutrals will be watching Jets vs Bills this weekend instead of the other interesting play-off implicating games around the league based on this ranking. Calculating..............0

    I need to get my head checked but i will be. I think we will lose out now. 3-13. That is depressing. Great having a good draft pick, but if Mac is picking then it could be hack 2.0.

    And Leon Washington took 2 dumps before kickoff (and said that's why he knew he'd have a great game). When's the last time a Jet RB dropped a pre-game double deuce? .

    (crowell's EZ stunt doesn't count).

    I'll believe it when we get the #1 overall pick. Go Niners!
