The coach’s firing didn’t help the Jets win against the Bills on Monday night.

And Troy Aikman believes things could only get worse for the reeling Jets.

“I could see it completely unraveling, maybe that won’t happen, I know the players won’t be okay with that,” Aikman said after Monday Night Football’s 23-20 home loss to the Bills. “But I could see it happening because I think they put so much into winning a game and getting back on track this week and the owner (Woody Johnson) says this is for the best Team he’s had for 25 years, all those things, but they didn’t make it. They’re back where they were, and now what’s the answer for them? They don’t have it.”

A Jets season that began with great ambition suddenly appears to be another chapter in the “Trust the Jets” book, where the team is suddenly 2-4 and no longer looks like a real contender.

Monday night, in the debut of new interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, offered a chance to take the division lead and beat a tough opponent, but the Jets instead put up a sloppy performance and suffered a disheartening loss.

The once-vaunted defense had no answer for Josh Allen as it failed to get a crucial third-down stop in the fourth quarter that would have allowed the offense to get the ball back.

Kicker Greg Zuerlein missed two field goals, which proved costly in a three-point game.

The team committed 11 penalties for 110 yards, including a holding violation that negated a touchdown in the third quarter.

And for the third game in a row, future Hall of Famer Aaron Rdogers had the ball in his hands and had a chance to win late, but he fell short. He threw an interception on his last pass in two weeks.

The highlights of the Thursday Night Football loss to the Patriots in Week 3 are a distant memory, although the offense functioned better under new player Todd Downing.

“Honestly, I don’t know where they go from here,” Aikman said. “This week, with all the changes and then some momentum comes in, you start doing some things better than you were doing them and we see that from time to time when an interim coach takes over and like a team might react to it. Losing the game like they did with the penalties and the missed field goals and not capitalizing on the red zone and all those things, I think is going to be really hard for them. Short week now.”

The Jets’ season isn’t over yet, but they have a tough task ahead of them on the road against a solid Steelers team in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football, and the division-leading Texans are coming up in Week 9.

It’s getting late early for Gang Green.

“They’ll talk about, ‘It’s a long season,’ and it is,” Aikman’s ESPN partner Joe Buck said after the game. “But after all those changes, it’s kind of the same frustrating result for the New York Jets, even though I thought the offense looked a lot better tonight.”
