In the storied history of the Jets-Dolphins rivalry, they have played a game where both teams were 0-2. Obviously, the winner of this game can still hope to compete for a wild card slot (forget the division), and the loser can start preparing for the draft.
It looks like Chad Pennington will be behind center this [...]

Justin Miller down for the count

And the misery train continues to roll…
Kick returner extraordinaire Justin Miller is out for the season after sustaining ligament damage to his right knee while returing a kickoff this past Sunday. He holds the franchise record with three career kickoff returns for touchdowns, but he’ll have to wait until 2008 to increase that total.
With him [...]

Monday morning ramblings…

It’s the morning after another disappointing Jets loss, and somehow I’m not that worked up about it. Yes, I’m still pissed that Justin McCareins couldn’t catch one of those two sure touchdown passes to him late in the game, but in a way they didn’t deserve to be in a position to tie, much less [...]

Thanks a lot, Justin McCareins

Well, at least we know now that the ball should not go to Justin McCareins in crunch time.
Number 81 dropped two(!) sure touchdown passes late today to seal the 20-13 defeat for the Jets. His stone hands denied Kellen Clemens a victory in his first NFL start who, after a so-so three quarters, played valiantly [...]

It’s been a long week, so today is certainly a break from the roller-coaster ride over the last few days.
OK, it’s the Jets traveling down to Baltimore today to take on the Ravens. Obviously, coming off of last Sunday’s debacle against the Patriots, we all hope that Gang Green can step it up today and [...]

Is Chad going to start after all?

What looked so bleak early on this week may not be so bad after all. On Monday, it seemed quite likely that Kellen Clemens would be the starter against the Ravens, but apparently Chad Pennington has taken a decent share of snaps this week and, although his ankle is still swollen and sore, he may [...]

This story certainly gained a lot of momentum over the past few days, and now the announcement has come from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the penalties the Patriots will play for videotaping the Jets’ defensive coaches during last Sunday’s game.
Bill Belichick has been fined $500,000, the Pats have been fined $250,000, and the big-ticket items [...]

Jackie MacMullan of the Boston Globe has written an excellent column lambasting Bill Belichick for his role in “Spygate” and how his actions are going to tarnish the Patriots franchise. Plus, she intimates that Belichick’s emotions are clouding his judgement. For example, he still can’t get over Mangini jumping ship. In any case, Commissioner Goodell [...]

Pats facing serious fines for spying on Jets

Apparently, this whole spying incident perpetrated by a Patriots employee on the Jets this past Sunday has pissed off NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to the point where he is ready to impose some stiff fines on the Pats. There’s going to be a teleconference this Friday whereby the Pats will be requested to explain their [...]

According to a report from ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, the NFL’s security office has confiscated a video camera along with a tape from a Patriots employee who was on the sideline during last Sunday’s game against the Jets. The NFL is investigating as to whether the camera was pointed at the Jet defensive coaches who were [...]
