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 [...]

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 [...]

It looks like Kellen Clemens will get the start against the Chiefs this Sunday, as expected. This is an important start for him as this will in all likelihood be the last day that Chad Pennington will wear a Jets uniform so, for all intents and purposes, this is now Clemens’ team, and the spotlight [...]

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 [...]

Pennington feels his time in New York is coming to a close

It seems that Chad Pennington has seen the writing on the wall and is pretty much convinced his time as a New York Jet is about to end. As we’ve said here time and again, he’s done a fine job, but he is not the right fit for this team any longer and it is [...]

In last spring’s NFL Draft, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn nearly slipped out of the first round before the Browns grabbed him. However, people tend to forget that the Browns took left tackle Joe Thomas out of Wisconsin with the third pick, and he has been a monster. In fact, he was just selected as [...]

Believe it or not, this was an enjoyable game to watch for Jet fans. There were a number of fans, as well as “experts”, indicating that the Jets were ripe to be picked off by the winless Dolphins. For about a few fleeting moments in the second quarter, they were sounding right. Luckily, logic prevailed, [...]

Darelle Revis gets kudos for his play

One of the few bright spots in this otherwise dismal Jets season has been the play of Darelle Revis. He is second on the team in tackles and has really done a good job of covering the opponents’ top receiver after a slow start to the season.
Revis has certainly proved his value as the number [...]

The Steelers are putting out the vibe that they will not be taking the Jets lightly this Sunday. They are on a roll right now, and with the Colts going through some injury issues, they want to keep the momentum going and win enough games to get the #2 seed going into the playoffs. As [...]
