Jets fans buried kicker Greg Zuerlein on social media after missing two crucial field goal opportunities against the Bills on Monday night.
In a tightly contested showdown at MetLife, Zuerlein had not one, but two chances to break a 20-20 deadlock.
Late in the third quarter, the kicker hit the post in a 32-yard attempt. He would get another chance from 43 yards early in the fourth but smashed the woodwork again – leaving fans infuriated as the Bills secured a 23-20 win.
‘I will NEVER forgive Greg Zuerlein for tonights performance,’ one fan wrote.
‘We would be 4-2 if Greg Zuerlein was a better kicker,’ a second added.

‘First game under a new regime was not terrible, you can’t coach or uncoach those penalties man it’s sloppy as f***,’ a third lamented.
‘The NYJ have to clean it the f*** up and tell Zuerlein to tighten the f*** up, that’s TWO GAMES that could’ve been decided by his boot man.’
A fourth added that ‘Greg Zuerlein should be cut tonight,’ while a fifth added: ‘What about Greg Zuerlein being an absolute bum?’
Zuerlein made two of his four kicks for eight points before folding when his boot mattered most. The stat has moved him to 6-8 this season.
In a 10-9 loss to the Broncos in September, Zuerlein was torched for missing a 50-yarder in a 3-4 performance.

Their third consecutive loss has moved the Jets to 2-4 this season. Before Monday, they suffered back-to-back defeats to Denver in Minnesota.
The Jets opened their season with a loss to San Francisco, before a pair of wins over Tennessee and New England. They will look to return to the winning column when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers and rematch the Patriots on the road on the 20th and 27th of October, respectively.
They will close out the month on the 31st when they host the Texans at MetLife Stadium.
