“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” “The Jets did that this year. You watch.”

"But everybody’s got a little stink on their hands. It’s not just Russell. It was a (poor) offensive line. It might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. "

    That’s what I said. He said the Broncos did things wrong and embarrassed themselves last year. Then he said he thinks the Jets are doing the same thing this year. Then he listed other examples where it’s happened in the past. The statement wasn’t about dissing the Jets, he was talking about why the Broncos were so bad last year and used other examples to support that and also threw some shade at the Jets. But that doesn’t mean he “blasted” them and the order you put the quotes in the body make it seem like he was saying the Jets embarrassed themselves and it is the worst coaching job.

      That’s my impression and the impression of some journalists - a very direct criticism if you will of Jets by Payton. This kind of fighting words directed at another team isn’t common in NFL. There are several articles off this interview and they all had similar impression.
