STUPOR MEN. BUST! KNOCKED DOWN.

The New York tabloids deservedly roasted the Jets for their season-opening loss to the Ravens — when it came to expectations versus performance, no team had a worse opening weekend than New York, which trumpeted their Super Bowl aspirations all offseason but fell flat on their collective faces with the 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

Consider all of this: The Jets finished with just 179 yards of total offense, gained six first downs (tying a franchise-low) and were 1-of-11 on third-down conversions. Much of that can be attributed to the fact that New York was facing a world-class defense, but it didn’t stop there. New York committed 14 penalties for 125 yards, and the Ravens picked up a franchise record six first downs by penalty. The low point? The Jets were flagged for 12 men on the field ... when preparing for a kneel down.

Oh, yes — compounding things was a season-ending injury to nose tackle Kris Jenkins, who suffered a left ACL injury and will force the Jets to go the rest of the way without their best run defender.

For Jets fans who spent the offseason enjoying the bluster from coach Rex Ryan and his team and dreaming of a Super Bowl, it was your basic garden-variety nightmare.

“Offensively, there was nothing. There was no rhythm,” Ryan told reporters Tuesday. “You’ve got to credit Baltimore. They did a great job in putting us in third-down situations and they got off the field, whether it was 3rd and 7, 3rd and 2, 3rd and 5, whatever. They were able to get off the field.

“We didn’t do a good enough job on defense from our end of it in getting them off the field, whether it was penalties or a play they made.”

It wasn’t the best way for the Jets to start Patriots’ week.

“This team we’re going up against [New England], we’ve got to find a way,” Ryan said. “That team right there is going to score and we have to be able to score, obviously.”

The biggest concern for Ryan and the Jets has to be the stagnant offense, specifically the passing game. Against a Baltimore defense that had two starters out because of injury, second-year quarterback Mark Sanchez was just 10-for-21 for 74 passing yards, with the longest completion of the night going for just 13 yards.

There were some positives, including the performance of running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who rushed for 62 yards and averaged 5.6 yards per carry in his first outing with the Jets. But Monday’s offensive output for New York — coming on the heels of a preseason where the Jets’ first-team offense scored two touchdowns in 18 possessions — must be addressed.

“I think we have the ability. I don’t think there’s any doubt,” Ryan said of his offense. “I know we have the ability, but we’ve got to find a way to convert on third down and keep drives alive. It was the perfect storm. That led to the defense getting off the field at the rate we normally get off the field at. There were a lot of third-down opportunities that Baltimore converted. When you’re 1-of-11 on third down, really 1-of-12 when you put the fourth down in, you’re not going to beat anybody.

“We’ve got to get better. We see the same thing on the practice field. We’ve got to be better. If that’s dialing things back, we’ll search for the right answers. I have confidence in our players, I have confidence in our coaching staff that we’ll get it done.”

Penalties aside, the New York defense was certainly competitive enough against the Ravens. They only yielded 10 points, sacked Baltimore’s Joe Flacco twice and forced three turnovers — two forced fumbles and one interception, that by cornerback Antonio Cromartie.

While Cromartie and rookie Kyle Wilson were a mixed bag at corner, Ryan said there were no such problems about Revis. Saying the cornerback was “outstanding” after missing most of preseason because of a contract dispute, the Jets coach said he has no qualms about sending Revis out to cover Randy Moss this week with only a couple of weeks of practice under his belt when the Patriots meet the Jets.

“He’s the only guy in the league that you can do that with. That’s why we’re so fortunate that we have this guy,” Ryan said. “He’s a great player and we just need to get better away from him, and we will.”

It is still early, but if the Jets aren’t able to get better, they face the unappetizing possibility of opening the season 0-2 with the next two games on the road.

“We’ve got to go, come out ready to work, hard hats on, ready to work. Let’s go,” Ryan said. “We’ve got to get this game behind us, move forward and come out with that kind of passion and energy that we expect around here.”
