Three takeaways from the Jets' loss to the Patriots

The Jets showed no resistance in Sunday’s home finale against the AFC East rival Patriots.

Here are three takeaways from the Jets’ 42-10 loss to New England:

1. Things got chippy at the end of the first half

There wasn’t much drama in a game that New England led 35-3 at halftime, but things got heated on the field and there appeared to be some gamesmanship from the coaches.

Aaron Glenn called a timeout after New England, up 28-3, ran the ball with less than two minutes left. The Patriots came out of the timeout throwing. Then Mike Vrabel used his timeouts in a drive that ended with Drake Maye’s touchdown pass.

It didn’t end there. Vrabel called his last timeout with 19 seconds left after Brady Cook was sacked.

“Defensively, we hadn’t had a whole lot of opportunities to play,” Vrabel said. “Those guys want to rush. They want to play defense and so I called it and [it] really didn’t affect the game.”

The half ended with Jets rookie right tackle Armand Membou very animated and needing to be calmed down. Membou wouldn’t go into details but said, “Once they got up on us, just getting cocky and everything.”

Maybe this dormant rivalry will have some spice next season.

2. Glenn and Woody Johnson are disappointed

Being 3-13 with one game left isn’t what Johnson expected when the owner hired Glenn last January. It isn’t what Glenn expected, either.

“I’m disappointed,” he said. “I know he’s disappointed.”

Glenn said he and Johnson have good, honest dialogue about what the team needs to succeed. Glenn won’t share those conversations or the ones he has with general manager Darren Mougey, but they’re about doing what it takes to avoid another season like this.

“I do know there’s a belief in me,” Glenn said of Johnson. “I do know I believe in him. And that’s why I’m glad I took this job. It’s because of ownership and what he’s about, what Mouge is about, what this organization is about.

“It’s the one thing that I think about on a daily basis: how we can get over this hump so we can be a team that’s going to win continuously. That’s all I think about, and I think he knows that too .  .  . So now we got to figure out what do we do to make sure we get over that hump and move forward.”

3. The Jets could consider another quarterback change

Brady Cook is struggling to lead this team. It could be Hendon Hooker time next week against Buffalo. It couldn’t hurt.

The Jets signed Hooker to their practice squad recently. He was elevated to Cook’s backup with Tyrod Taylor (personal reasons) inactive. Hooker knows the offense from his time with the Lions.

Cook, an undrafted rookie, definitely was overmatched against New England. The Jets ran only 20 plays in the first half and he threw for 39 yards and an interception. He had 81 passing yards in the fourth quarter after the game had long since been decided.

“We need to figure out a way to sustain drives,” Cook said.

Cook threw a bad interception, putting his turnover total at eight in four games. He has thrown only one touchdown pass.

“We want to see him play,” Glenn said. “It hasn’t been to everyone’s liking and I think he would say that also, but he’s a young guy. I do think he still has the traits to be a good quarterback in this league. He’s just got to continue to get reps.”
