The offensive line of the New York Jets is probably more controversial than the team’s quarterback. Zach Wilson continued his play with the team until Aaron Rodgers’ return. However, what’s not fixed is the team’s offensive line.
The Jets are currently in third position in the AFC East division with just four wins and six losses. They are playing next against the strong and top team of the same division, the Miami Dolphins, on Friday, November 24, at 3 p.m. at MetLife Stadium. Before the matchup, the Jets team decided to wish their fans “Thanksgiving Day.”

Although the New York franchise wished their fans with a creative post, the “D-Line” caption caught the fans’ attention. As we know, this season, the Jets’ O-Line (offensive line) has major issues as they keep shuffling.

Hence, picking up this issue, fans took a playful jab at the Jets this Thanksgiving and shared some hilarious comments on the post.
Fans think O-Line sits at the kids’ table.
The Jets’ offense is struggling because of multiple issues with their offensive line. They’ve had to shuffle their linemen due to injuries that impacted the entire offense. In their latest game on Sunday, left tackle Mekhi Becton got injured, adding to their challenges. They already have six different starting offensive lines in as many games. Players like Chris Glaser and Carter Warren, who played their first career snaps, had to step out due to injuries.
The team started this season with eight offensive linemen but now has used thirteen different players due to injuries. Having four backup linemen, with two of them being the backups to backups, is making it particularly tough for the Jets this time. Hence, bringing some humorous remarks on the Jets’ situation, fans shared hilarious comments about the post. One social media user said, “The o line can starve.”
Another one asked for a kid’s section for the Jets, commenting, “O line sits at the kids’ table.”
