Despite the slightly raised expectations, things went south very quickly for Gang Green. A pair of touchdowns from Colts tight end Dwayne Allen jump started them on their way to a 41-10 victory. It marked an extreme low point in what has been a very disappointing season for Todd Bowles‘ Jets.

When Richard and Justin discussed this lousy effort from the Jets, the main theme that came up was the appalling lack of effort from Gang Green. Both co-hosts made sure to criticize the roster for the lack of fire on a national stage.

This led to major criticism of Bowles as all his failure to get the team motivated was evident once again. Richard and Justin also made sure to weigh in on what the future holds for Bowles after such a poor season.
