Let's not write their obituary just yet. Yes, they look horrible. But the Jets have been in this position before, only to go on a late season and postseason run and surprise a few teams. This includes the very embarrassing loss by our own Pats after killing them 45-3 a month earlier.
The last time they were 5-5 is 2009. That year, they backed into the playoffs at 9-7 because of the fact their last two games the opponent gave them the win because they were resting players for the playoffs. I don't think 9-7 will get you in this year and the Jets are not going to face any teams resting for the playoffs this year.
The Jets have a very small chance to get into the playoffs. They almost have to win out because they lose all the tiebreakers with all the Wild Card contenders. One or two other teams are going to get at least 10 wins.
