New York Jets owner Woody Johnson didn’t hold back at the NFL’s fall owners meeting, offering a brutally honest — and slightly humorous — take on his team’s offensive struggles.
Speaking to reporters, Johnson quipped, “If we could just complete a pass, it would look good.”
The line drew laughs in the room, but for Jets fans, it hit a little too close to home. The team has struggled mightily to find consistency on offense, particularly through the air, as quarterback play and protection issues continue to derail drives.
The Jets, who entered the season with playoff aspirations, have seen their hopes dim amid lackluster offensive performances. While the defense remains one of the league’s best, the inability to generate momentum or sustain drives has frustrated both players and fans — and now, even ownership.
Johnson’s comment may have been tongue-in-cheek, but it underscores a growing sense of urgency within the organization. With trade rumors swirling and calls for change mounting, questions loom about how long the Jets can stay the course with their current offensive setup.
Despite the lighthearted tone, Johnson made it clear he still believes in his team’s potential.
“We’ve got talent — we just have to execute,” he said. “It’s about putting all the pieces together and finishing.”
For a franchise long defined by quarterback turmoil and offensive inconsistency, Johnson’s remark summed it up perfectly: one completed pass at a time.
