The Jets are just plain cursed.

Don’t believe in otherworldly spirits or divine intervention? Fair enough. But one way or another, you have to admit: This team has a knack for the dramatic, the insane and the catastrophic.

This week, they managed to squeeze in all three.

For decades, the Jets have managed to make headlines in all sorts of crazy ways. So maybe there’s another weeklong span that can rival this one.

So, we’re not saying that this has definitely been the most ridiculous week in franchise history. But it at least has to be close, right?

Just look at all that’s happened over the last five days:

Sunday

• The Jets carried a 16-0 lead deep into the third quarter and a 16-3 edge into the final 15 minutes against the Bills. Then, they managed to blow that lead and lose by one point, after failing to turn three of their four takeaways into points and having their kicker miss both a PAT and a field goal. Sixteen points matched the worst blown lead of the entire Todd Bowles’ era and ranks inside the top 20 blown leads in Jets history.

Monday

• Head coach Adam Gase, speaking to reporters, took a surprisingly blunt approach and publicly criticized several different units, including wide receiver Robby Anderson. He never specifically named any players and didn’t cross any lines with his comments, but the tenor and tone of the discussion went far beyond the typical Monday post mortem.

• Just a few hours after airing his dirty laundry, Gase was handed a gift by general manager Joe Douglas – in the form of wide receiver Demaryius Thomas. The Jets traded a 2021 sixth-round pick to the Patriots for Thomas, marking the first-ever trade between Bill Belichick and his New York rivals.

• Defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd openly admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs and copped to a six-game suspension, which was the result of two positive drug tests this summer.

Tuesday

• On the heels Kaare Vedvik’s struggles in that loss to Buffalo, the Jets decided to bring in five kickers for a workout. They chose Sam Ficken, who’s kicked in four NFL games, and sent Vedvik packing. Ficken became the team’s fourth kicker in the past month.

• With the Jets preparing to face the Browns on Monday Night Football, a report emerges that Gase actually wasn’t particularly fond of Sam Darnold when evaluating quarterbacks ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft. He much preferred now-Browns QB Baker Mayfield. Not all that meaningful in practice, but a bit awkward.

• Gase, who was fired by the Dolphins at the end of last season, takes some subtle delight in his former team’s misery during Week 1 when asked about it on the radio.

Wednesday

• Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa is ruled out for the remainder of 2019 with a neck injury. The news came out of nowhere because Enunwa played throughout the Week 1 loss and was not mentioned among the injured players after the game. He was briefly evaluated mid-game, but returned to the field within a few plays. Now, questions linger about whether his career is in jeopardy because this is his second season-ending neck issue in three years. He missed all of 2017 after sustaining a blow during training camp.

• Both linebacker C.J. Mosley and defensive linemen Quinnen Williams – two of the team’s highest-profile defensive stars – remain sidelined after exiting Sunday’s loss early.

Thursday

• Darnold, after missing Wednesday’s practice due to illness, is diagnosed with mononucleosis and ruled out for Week 2 – and is deemed likely to miss several games. Suddenly, Gase’s offense has lost its leader, just one day after losing one of its top targets.

• To make matters worse, running back Le’Veon Bell – the biggest free agent of 2019 – is held out of practice with a shoulder injury and sent for an MRI. The tests later came back negative. He should be able to play against the Browns, but there’s no guarantee yet.

• Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. accuses Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams of running a Bountygate-esque system during his time as a coach in Cleveland. Beckham said he blames Williams for “dirty plays” that led to him getting injured in a 2017 preseason game with the Giants. Beckham ultimately missed most of that season as a result of the injury and its ensuing setbacks.

The scariest part? It’s still only Friday. There’s more than 72 hours left until kickoff.

In other words: Plenty of time for more craziness.
