NFL Twitter roasts Jets for pathetic first-half performance vs. Patriots

The New York Jets could not have played a worse first half in Monday night's Week 7 matchup with the rival New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium.

The Patriots led off the game with a 16-play touchdown drive that lasted nearly nine minutes, and it was a preview of how the rest of the half would unfold.

The defending Super Bowl champions took a 24-0 lead into halftime by earning a 210-65 advantage in total yards, a 14-6 lead in first downs and a total of three turnovers (one fumble, two interceptions) forced. New York's first-half display arguably was its worst at home versus the Patriots since the infamous butt fumble game on Thanksgiving in 2012.

Here's some of the best Twitter reaction to the Jets' awful first-half performance against the Patriots.

Jets are getting their asses kicked on national TV to the one team that they hate the most.

24-0 Patriots.

Jets look like a lifeless, sloppy, unprepared team.

Oh no Sam Darnold do not admit to "seeing ghosts" when you're mic'd up in prime time. https://t.co/E0pukwhL4s

The Jets appear to be the first team to defer the coin toss and then the entire first half.

From @ESPNStatsInfo: The Patriots have a 24-point lead in the 1st half of a road game for the first time since 2012, Week 12 at the Jets, the infamous butt fumble game.

The Patriots currently have more points (24) than the Jets have total yards (20).

If you're ever feeling down on your luck, just remember: at least you're not a Jets fan

Great run by Bell as the Jets dominated the last 10 seconds of the first quarter.

So far, Jets best play was when Anthony Kelly’s foot accidentally touched Van Noy, causing him to be ruled down.

Want some crazy stats?

Time of possession: #Patriots 17:27

The #Jets offensive line is making it look like the Patriots have 20 guys on the field. They aren’t blocking anybody.

Has Sam Darnold ever played quarterback before? Really tough that Jets expected they were going to beat Tom Brady with a guy who has never played quarterback before.
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) October 22, 2019

Sam Darnold said earlier in the week that the Jets' offense could soon be unstoppable. Darnold so far tonight: 2 INTs and a lost fumble.

What a total sh-t show for the @nyjets. 🤔🤮#NFL
— Boomer Esiason (@7BOOMERESIASON) October 22, 2019

Even Mitch Trubisky thinks Sam Darnold has missed way too many throws tonight
