December 2011
There’s a lot of blame to go around for the offense’s woes this season. Mark Sanchez is usually more than willing to accept responsibility and the blame for these issues. But how much of the blame should be placed on Mark?
December 24, 2011Same Old Jets Make Their Return
posted by: Site Admin | 6 comments | Jets Regular Season
This wasn't just another must win game with a playoff berth on the line, but another must win game against the cross-town rivals, the New York Giants, whose season also depended on the outcome of this contest. All the hype, pressure, trashtalking, big expectations in what was probably the biggest, most anticipated game of the season - they lost it, just like many Jets teams before them. These were the Same Old Jets all over again. The Same Old Jets that comfortably led two AFC Championship Games, among many other must-wins, only to find another way to lose.

I: Being a Ghost Story of the New York Jets
The Eagles game was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The burial had taken place and the crushing defeat in Philadelphia was as dead as a door-nail.
December 22, 2011A Look Back At Other Jets Week 15 Collapses
posted by: Murrell2878 | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
Some people wonder where the SOJ (Same ol’ Jets) mantra comes from. Well, unfortunately you don’t have to look much further than last week’s abysmal performance. This was their latest display of putrid football when they needed to play their best. We have seen the Jets bounce back from this mess before. We’ve also seen them completely fall apart. What the end of the 2011 season will look like is anyone’s guess. Here’s a look at some other recent Week 15 collapses.
December 20, 2011Jets Fall Out Of Top 10 In Power Rankings
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Power Rankings
The New York Jets fell out of the top 10 in all three major power rankings following their abysmal display against the Eagles. But they are still in the top 12, which obviously means that all three top websites still consider the Jets being a potential playoff team. ESPN dropped the Gang Green from #10 to #12. FOX Sports, who had them at #9 a week ago, lowered them to #12 as well. Finally, CBS Sports put the Jets only one spot down - from #10 to #11.
December 18, 2011Jets Get Embarrassed In Philly
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
In what was another game of high hopes and expectations, another must win, the New York Jets laid yet another egg, getting thoroughly embarrassed by the Philadelphia Eagles, 45-19. Just like in Week 3, or just like in Week 9, when the Gang Green had to win to make a statement and take over the first place in the division, they just came out flat and got totally outclassed. This time the division lead wasn't on the line, as the Jets had lost any realistic hope for the division title a while ago, but the Gang Green could have solidified their Wild Card claims with a win in Philly, but it just wasn't to be.
December 17, 2011Rough Final Stretch Awaits The Jets
posted by: Barry the Baptist | 1 comments | Jets Regular Season
Most Jet fans would love to be in the situation that the Patriots are in come Sunday. Of course that is the very achievable scenario of winning just one of the next three games to claim a division title and more importantly the potential for a bye week and even more important at least one game in front of your fans in the playoffs. Only somebody who owns stock in a defibrillator company would feel comfortable with the situation the Jets are facing. It certainly is a daunting task that remains ahead of the Jets but they know they control their own destiny which may or may not be a good thing.

DT Mike DeVito and RB/KR Joe McKnight, both of whom missed last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, are listed as "probable" and expected to play tomorrow against the Eagles. McKnight will be back returning kickoffs where he was replaced last week by CB Antonio Cromartie. CB Marquice Cole will not play with a knee injury. He was injured during the Chiefs game, and returned to the game but has not practiced with the team this week.
December 15, 2011A Look at the Eagles Offense
posted by: Murrell2878 | 1 comments | Jets Regular Season
This week the Jets are traveling to the City of Brotherly Love to play the 5-8 Philadelphia Eagles with a clear objective - win and stay in front of the race for the final Wild Card spot. To achieve this objective the Jets must try and stop one of the league’s most potent offenses. The Eagles have dealt with injuries to their star quarterback, injuries to their receiving core and a bout with diva wide receiver. At times they have shown their potential to be an explosive offense gaining over 400 yards in 7 games this season. But frequently they have shown to be ineffective and mistake prone – ranking 30th in turnover ratio and last in the NFL in INTs thrown.
December 14, 2011Jets Solidify Their Position In Top 10

For the first time since week 3 the New York Jets are now in the top 10 of all three power rankings, while their cumulative position is the highest since week 4. ESPN put the Gang Green one spot up from #11 to #10. CBS Sports followed ESPN's suit, moving the Jets from #11 up to #10 as well. Finally, FOX Sports kept them at #9, just like a week ago.
SS Jim Leonhard will indeed miss the rest of the season with a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, coach Rex Ryan announced today. Leonhard was carted to the locker room in the second quarter of yesterday's 37-10 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Last year Leonhard was also lost for the season after fracturing his right tibia in practice. S Brodney Pool will take Leonhard's place in the starting lineup.
December 11, 2011Jets Cruise Past Kansas City But Lose Leonhard
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
QB Mark Sanchez threw a couple of touchdown passes and ran for another two, as the New York Jets easily cruised past the Kansas City Chiefs, 37-10. It was the Gang Green's third win in a row but it might have come with a rather high price tag. S Jim Leonhard reportedly has a torn ligament in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season. On the positive side, besides the win, the Jets now control their own playoff destiny, as Cincinnati, Oakland and Tennessee all lost today.

OG Brandon Moore, who's listed as "questionable" for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, said that he will play on Sunday despite missing all three practice sessions this week. If Moore cannot play, then OG Caleb Schlauderaff would replace him in the starting lineup. DT Mike DeVito is listed as "doubtful" is more like "out."

RB/KR Joe McKnight (elbow) along with DT Marcus Dixon (hip) were limited in practice today and are listed as questionable.McKnight, who leads the league in kickoff returns, will be a game-time decision.
December 8, 2011Westerman Wins Starting Job Back
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine announced that LB Jamaal Westerman will replace LB Garrett McIntyre as the starting outside linebacker in the base defense. The battle for this position has been going on since LB Bryan Thomas was lost for the season in Week 4. Westerman started in Week 6 against the Dolphins but then lost the job to LB Josh Mauga who started in Week 7. McIntyre started in the last three games.
I can't contain my disappointment any longer over the fans that are on Rex's case. It is becoming redundant reading news articles, comments from readers, former players, media-types, et al, beating up Rex for, well – everything! Talking too much; over-rating his team; putting the "bull's eye" on the teams back; foot-gate; finger-gate; cussing and swearing. The list goes on and on, all accumulated over a short near-3 year period. The media pundits and fans of THIS team, let alone other teams, continue to pile on.

December 4, 2011Jets Make Another Comeback, Beat Redskins 34-19
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
RB Shonn Greene's three touchdown runs and QB Mark Sanchez's 4th quarter touchdown pass to WR Santonio Holmes propelled the Jets past the Washington Redskins and one step closer to making the playoffs. It wasn't pretty though as the game was rather even throughout the first three quarters. The Jets took the lead in the final quarter on a 30-yard TD pass from Sanchez to Holmes. Then, three plays later, LB Aaron Maybin sacked the quarterback forcing a fumble that was recovered on Washington's 9-yard line. Two plays later Greene scored his second touchdown of the game, sealing the deal.
