Jets owner Woody Johnson called his team’s performance “absolutely unacceptable” in a TV interview yesterday.
Johnson, appearing on Bloomberg TV’s “Money Matters,” reacted to the 49ers’ 34-0 dismantling of his Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
“The coaches and I were not happy with what happened yesterday, and the players aren’t either,” Johnson said. “So our job now … we are still leading in the AFC East, but that performance was absolutely unacceptable.”
Johnson acknowledged the Tim Tebow questions will grow because of Mark Sanchez’s struggles.
“It doesn’t mean Tim Tebow is going to be starting next week, but it’s a question that’s going to be asked more frequently if this progresses because it’s unacceptable,” Johnson said. “We failed in all three areas — offense, defense, special teams — and we let our fans down.”
Johnson said he believes in Sanchez.
“There’s going to be more pressure, but this quarterback can get the job done,” Johnson said. “He really can. He had a bad day, the whole team had a bad day. Receivers have to be in the right spot. A few plays here and there, which is the norm of football today that went against us … and it could have been a different game.”
