The recent post-bye-week record means nothing. Like seriously this isn’t even a talking point.

The Jets are, in fact, 0-7 in their past 7 post-bye-week games. 4 of those losses came against New England, a team that’s had the Jets’ number for the past 15 games regardless of relative bye week placement. Only 2 losses came against teams with a losing record, and one of those records was 0-1. 4 losses came against teams over .500, and 3 losses came against teams at least 4 games over .500.

The Jets fielded their week 1 starting QB for the entirety of the game in only 4/7 losses. In 2 losses, the Jets fielded a QB who had never taken an NFL regular season snap prior to their entrance. In 4 losses, the Jets fielded a QB over the age of 35. 4 losses were single digit losses. In 2 losses, the Jets had 1st year head coaches AND rookie QBs.

In both of Saleh’s 2 losses, Zach Wilson either got injured or had a historically bad day.

In these 7 games, the Jets fielded:

1. Ryan Fitzpatrick in a 5-point loss to the 8-2 Patriots.
2. Josh McCown in an 8-point loss to the 7-3 Panthers.
3. Josh McCown in a 14-point loss to the 7-3 Patriots.
