It's gotten to the point in New York where players are no longer even pretending they want to keep all the issues and problems permeating the organization in-house.
Instead, it's starting to seem like a free-for-all, with Jets players acting more like old ladies in a sewing circle - gossiping and gabbing and he said-ing and she said-ing - and less like professional athletes with million dollar salaries.
But the questionable nature of some players' decision to speak out aside, it seems like, based on the things they have to say, the dysfunction in New York runs deeper than was initially even thought possible.
First up - the apparently strained and disdainful relationship between head coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator, Marty Mornhinweg.
"They talk," a Jets player said, according to a report from Thomas George of SBNation.com. "And then they go snipping behind each others' backs."
Ryan, as has been his wont in past seasons, favors a ground and pound attack, whereas Mornhinweg, as is apparent from his time as a head coach and during his tenure with Andy Reid in Philadelphia, prefers an aerial attack.
Common ground was apparently never found - although the Jets did run the ball an absurd 49 times and only passed it eight before the final drive of their loss to the Buffalo Bills.
"It was like Marty finally gave in to what Rex has been asking him to do all year long to prove his point," a Jets player said. "We lost doing it Rex's way, so, I guess Marty felt vindicated. We don't understand why Rex let it go on this long. Rex allows his coaches to grow and be great. But he also allows them to hang themselves, and that winds up with him hanging himself. Rex is not a confrontational person. He acts like it. He talks like it. But he believes in giving his coaches respect and room."
According to George, sources said that Ryan considered firing Mornhinweg on two separate occasions this season.
But that's not the only tarnished relationship behind this failing season.
General manager John Idzik, who replaced Mike Tannenbaum before the 2013 season, has apparently lost whatever trust he had with Ryan and the players in the locker room through his poor communication with the head coach and his lack of clarity in team-building vision.
"Idzik did not give Rex the pieces he needed to fit his system," another player said, questioning the team's decision to give wide receiver Eric Decker the large contract he received in free agency. "He did not get this team what it needed this year to win. Either he is the worst negotiator in football or he set us up to lose."
Put all these quotes from all these unnamed players together and what you have is a pretty damning picture of an incredibly dysfunctional franchise. Whether or not Ryan is gone at the end of the year seems an almost ludicrous and unnecessary question at this point.
He, Mornhinweg, and plenty of players will be out the door and it will finally be up to Idzik to build the team in his ideal image - something he apparently should have done long ago.
"Idzik, when he took over last year, should have just ran everybody off and found the coach he wanted," a league source said. "This should have been done from the start. It would have been a lot less toxic."
