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 […]

I’ve kind of laid low the last week or so because, frankly, what is there for a Jet fan to say about the Super Bowl? The contest is between two of your most “hated” rivals–the Patriots and the Giants. Whichever team wins will surely be a thorn in our collective sides, correct?
Well, first and foremost […]

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 […]

There are a number of quarterbacks who may be playing for new teams next year, including Derek Anderson, Rex Grossman, Daunte Culpepper, J.P. Losman, Donovan McNabb (though that seems more unlikely) and, of course, Chad Pennington.
Despite what Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum said recently when he opined that Chad will compete for the starting QB position […]

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 […]

Well this is certainly an interesting development. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum said today that he expects Chad Pennington will be back on the team next year and will go up against Kellen Clemens in training camp to compete for the starting quarterback position.
This is strange, to say the least. Why would the Jets organization commit […]

The Jets are wasting little time in looking to improve the team’s depth. This report indicates that the team is showing interest in running back Joe Smith of the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League. Smith ran for over 1500 yards last season and has had brief stints in the NFL with the Jacksonville […]

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 […]

We all realize that the offseason is only a few days old and there is a lot of time between now and the NFL Draft in the spring, but the speculation has already begun as to who the Jets may select with the sixth pick in the first round.

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. […]
