Turn out the lights, the party’s over…
Believe it or not, the season ends today for the Jets. It’s been a dismal one, and this marks the end of a (hopefully) bad stretch and the beginning of a new era for the franchise.
There’s not much to say about this game. The Chiefs are 4-11, so this [...]

When your team is 3-12 entering the last game of the season, it’s hard to find many positives in a dismal year. However, there are signs that the Jets will be in a position to improve next year with a solid foundation of young and veteran players.
Of course, the offensive line, the defensive line, and [...]

First of all, I hope all of you out there had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. Although it hasn’t been a great time for the Jets and their fans, hopefully our own lives and those of our friends and families have been enriched by our time together.
Anyway, this Sunday’s game against the Chiefs [...]

I’m still trying to get over yesterday’s infuriating loss.  That was the seventh loss this season by seven points or less–that is truly the mark of a bad team. If you can’t find a way to win when the game is up for grabs, that is pure evidence that your personnel is not very good.
With [...]

Titans 10, Jets 6

If you needed any further evidence that the 2007 New York Jets are a bad football team, all you need is to point to this game. The Jets were absolutely hideous on offense, with the offensive line being the number one culprit. The Titans’ Kyle Vanden Bosch was a beast–three sacks while making any one [...]

I haven’t paid much attention to the Jets this week as I, like most of us, have been hurriedly finishing up my holiday shopping as well as wrapping up some projects at work so I can take some time off this coming week and simply relax.
However, there is a game today, and it’s an important [...]

The Jets have been getting a lot of praise this morning for their effort against the Patriots yesterday. Most pundits have been saying that the Jets played the Pats tough and their defensive scheme, featured by the disguising of who would be rushing Tom Brady, made things difficult for the Pats offense. Darrelle Revis continues [...]

Patriots 20, Jets 10

Although many Jet fans did not expect the Jets could have won this game, the fact of the matter is that the Jets could have won this game. And that’s what makes it so disappointing.
The Jets had many opportunities–4 times in the red zone, and only one field goal to show for it. There was [...]

The word for today’s game is pride.
This is arguably the most important game in the last 10 years for the Jet franchise. The odds are overwhelmingly stacked against them. They are a 3-10 team on the road facing an undefeated team; the Patriots have put up staggering offensive numbers; and the Jets are starting an [...]

Lost in the unstoppable force that is the Patriots is the fact that their defense is not that great. Going into this week, fourth overall in the NFL and 13th against the run. In other words, you CAN run on them, and the Eagles a few weeks ago demonstrated that if you can throw good [...]
