Whod’ve thunk it? The Giants somehow, someway beat the Patriots! This was not a fluke of a victory–no bad calls, no incredible gaffes, etc. The Giants EARNED this win by outplaying the supposedly immortal Patriots in every phase of the game.
For Jet fans, I think we have to be pleased for the Giants. They beat [...]

We’re still not even through the “in-between week” of the Super Bowl frenzy and already there is a lot of buzz and speculation as to what may happen at the upcoming NFL Draft.
There’s been quite a bit of talk that the Dolphins will look to deal the No. 1 pick because their executive vice president [...]

The Jets have officially hired former Oakland Raider and Nebraska head coach Bill Callahan to be an assistant head coach and to take charge of the running game. Nothing wrong with the organization bringing in skilled and experienced coaches to get the players to work on and improve their technique, especially as far as the [...]

Arkansas running back and Heisman runner-up Darren McFadden announced today that he is entering the NFL Draft this year.
He is projected to be a high first-round pick, and most mock drafts have him going anywhere from the second pick down to the eighth pick. With the Jets standing at number 6, there has been some [...]

It appears that the Raiders are going to keep defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and not fire him, as was reported earlier this week. The Jets were ready to hire him and fire their own defensive coordinator Bob Sutton, but Raiders owner Al Davis decided to keep Ryan over head coach Lane Kiffin’s objections. Just when [...]

In the last few weeks there have been a number of football pundits who are saying that the Jets should keep Chad Pennington after all because Kellen Clemens was not very impressive and it would be risky to go into a new season with a quarterback who may not be the answer. I submit that [...]

There are reports indicating that the Jets are going to fire defensive coordinator Bob Sutton and hire the Raiders’ soon-to-be ex-defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who happens to be an old friend of Coach Mangini. They both were assistants with the Patriots for four seasons.
The Raiders were no great shakes on defense this year, but the [...]

It’s only the first day of the offseason, and already there is a ton of Jet news out there for us to digest.
First of all, yesterday’s win over the Chiefs turned out to be a “loss” in terms of draft order. If the Jets had lost, they would have picked third in the 2008 Draft. [...]

Leave it to two bad teams to play their last game of the season into overtime. The agony was prolonged more than anyone had a right to be subjected to it.
This was a bad game, no question about it. Both teams demonstrated their ineptness on offense–Kellen Clemens couldn’t seem to get a rhythym going, and [...]
