Earlier today the New York Jets finally re-signed CB Antonio Cromartie whom they acquired last season from the San Diego Chargers. Cromartie, 27, will sign a 4-year contract worth $32M. Last season Cromartie registered 42 tackles (41 solo), defended 17 passes and intercepted 2. As we all know, the Jets wanted to sign CB Nnamdi Asomugha but the latter chose to join the Eagles, so the Jets had to settle for Cromartie instead.

Earlier today LB/DE Jason Taylor was given a tour of the Jets facility and introduced to some of his potential teammates. LB Calvin Pace and DE Shaun Ellis both expressed their desire to see Taylor as in green and white. "I think it’s be good for us," Pace said. "It's always good to add another body to the mix. His track record speaks for itself so it’s positive."
The New York Jets listed 8 players as "probable" for the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. Although DE Shaun Ellis, who has a broken hand, is more "questionable" than "probable" for this game. Ellis will give it a go but he has trouble grabbing and if he feels he's hurting the team, he'll take himself out.
DE Shaun Ellis, FB Tony Richardson and RB Thomas Jones were back on the field today after missing yesterday's practice session. Ellis, who has a broken hand and a banged up knee, was limited. Richardson (rib) and Jones fully participated in the practice session.

QB Mark Sanchez was limited in practice this morning after missing last game with a knee injury. He split first team reps with QB Kellen Clemens who replaced him last Sunday against Tampa Bay. Head coach Rex Ryan said that he will name the starter for the game against the Atlanta Falcons later in the week. Although it's pretty obvious that Sanchez is going to start unless he reinjures his knee.

The New York Jets beat the Buffalo Bills in Toronto to keep their slim playoff hopes alive and get back to .500. QB Mark Sanchez left the game in the 3rd quarter with a knee injury and did not return. It was the defense, however, that won this game for the Gang Green. The Bills were limited to just 194 yards of total offense and only 71 passing yards. DE Shaun Ellis and CB Darrelle Revis came up with huge plays at the end of the fourth quarter to kill Buffalo's last hope to win this game.

If you've watched this team for as long as I have, you really should not be surprised at what happened yesterday in the Meadowlands. The Gang Green dominated their opponent, the Miami Dolphins, for almost the entire game, limited them to just 104 yards of total offense and still found a way to lose the game! Yes, those were the Same Old Jets that we got so used to seeing over all these painful years of amazing wins and shocking heartbreaking defeats. There was one thing though that we hadn't seen until yesterday - two back to back kickoff returns for touchdowns!
The same old Jets struck again this afternoon against the hated Miami Dolphins, losing a game where they gained almost four times more yards than their opponent. The Gang Green limited Miami to just 104 yards of total offense and only 10 first downs, yet they managed to find a way to lose in a typical Jets' fashion. This time it was special teams that allowed two back to back kickoff returns for touchdowns, basically giving the game to the Dolphins. After the game head coach Rex Ryan said that this Jets team can beat any team in the league and can also lose to any team in the league. It took him 8 weeks to realize what Jets fans have known for years!
All Jets players practiced for the second consecutive day this morning, although WR David Clowney (ankle), WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), DE Shaun Ellis (knee, ankle), LB Bart Scott (knee), CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) were limited. All are expected to play on Sunday against Miami with the exception of Sheppard, who will most likely be a game-time decision.

Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith will miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders due to hamstring and quadriceps injuries respectively. While Cotchery will most likely be ready for the Dolphins next week, Brad Smith could be out next week as well, according to head coach Rex Ryan. WR David Clowney will make his second start in a row, replacing Cotchery in the starting lineup. CB Lito Sheppard, who returned last week after missing the previous three games and reaggravated his quadriceps injury, will not play on Sunday as well.
It's now almost a certainty that WR Jerricho Cotchery will miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills with a hamstring injury. Cotchery sat out his second day of practice in a row this morning. WR Brad Smith (quad) also did not practice for the second straight day and is doubtful to play on Sunday. WR David Clowney was getting reps with the first team along with WR Braylon Edwards. TE Dustin Keller was lining up wide in three receiver sets.

DE Shaun Ellis will be in the lineup next week, as his one game suspension is over. Ellis was suspended by the league due to a 2008 arrest for marijuana possession. The Jets also released CB Marquice Cole, who was inactive for yesterday's game, to make room for Ellis on the 53-man roster.
According to head coach Rex Ryan, there are about six spots still up for grabs on the projected 53-man roster that every NFL team must finalize by 4 PM EST this Saturday. The Jets currently have 75 players on their roster and will have to cut 20 of them to comply with the league's rules (the Jets will be allowed to carry two players over the limit due to the upcoming suspensions for LB Calvin Pace and DE Shaun Ellis). Once these cuts are finalized, the Gang Green will be able to put 8 players on their practice squad.

Several fans threw snowballs at New York players and staff as they walked off the field after the Seahawks' 13-3 victory. Ellis then walked over to a pile of snow, picked up a large chunk and tossed it into the stands at Qwest Field, appearing to hit at least a few fans. No one was believed to have been injured.
After last week's debacle against the Denver Broncos, the New York Jets continued their free fall this afternoon, as they lost to the 4-8 San Francisco 49ers. With Miami and New England both winning today's games, the Gang Green are now in a 3-way tie for the first place in the AFC East.
