I disagree that the Jets are trending down. They're 9-3-1 against the east this year, a conference made up almost completely of teams they couldn't beat for a playoff spot last year. I think they are a better team this year, they just got moved into a much more difficult conference.
Given that all of their key players are younger than their prime playing years, I'm pretty sure the Jets will continue to improve over the next 5 years. Whether they're good enough to compete for a playoff spot (or more) at that point remains to be seen, but there is no question that the team is improving.
