Jets fans, who are notorious for booing any player their team selects at the NFL Draft, broke into thunderous cheers at Radio City Music Hall Friday night upon hearing that Gang Green had chosen Smith. The reason for this euphoria was the belief that beleaguered Mark Sanchez’s days as a Jet were numbered. I hate [...]

Now that Super Bowl XLVII is behind us, the attention will turn to our area since MetLife Stadium will be hosting the game next year. You can start counting the “Snowmageddon” headlines. Nobody gets worked up if the NFC or AFC championship games, which take place two weeks before the Super Bowl, are played in [...]

In a fitting finish, the New York Jets’ season folded on Monday Night Football in Nashville, amidst a flurry of fourth-quarter turnovers by quarterback Mark Sanchez, who was outshined by backup quarterback Tim Tebow in the final boxscore by default, even though Tebow also accomplished little himself. Five turnovers (four interceptions and a fumble) by [...]

Last week’s hero, Craig McElroy, didn’t dress. Tim Tebow did, but didn’t play while making a return to his hometown. And, although starter Mark Sanchez was back in a familiar role, he wasn’t asked to do much. None of that continued quarterback drama mattered however, as the New York Jets (6-7) went back to the [...]

Thanksgiving wasn’t the first time that the Jets have been humiliated by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and it probably won’t be the last either. What made things abominable was how the Jets, and particularly QB Mark Sanchez in particular, looked like the Keystone Cops of the silent film era as they gave [...]

Not since the Pilgrims at Plymouth had a group from Massachusetts enjoyed a feast quite as much, and the New York England Patriots were certainly thankful that the New York Jets were so giving on Thanksgiving night. After a scoreless opening quarter, four first-half turnovers, a trio of Jet penalties on a single Patriots drive [...]

Losers of three straight games and five of their past six while facing an early 7-0 deficit on the road, the New York Jets weren’t quite ready to give up on their season. Instead, the Jets (4-6) scored the next 27 points to beat the St. Louis Rams (3-6-1) on Sunday, 27-13, and for the [...]

Just three weeks ago, the injury-plagued New York Jets were saving their season, coming off of an easy win over playoff contender Indianapolis and were poised to take over first place in the AFC East with an apparent upset of division rival New England on the road. But, the Jets (3-6) let that game in [...]

Five weeks ago, the Miami Dolphins let a home game they probably should have won against the New York Jets slip away in an overtime loss. This time, on the road, the Dolphins (4-3) made sure they’d put the Jets (3-5) away early. “To say I never saw this coming is an understatement. This one, [...]

The New York Jets seem to have little problem with beating teams at their own level or lower. Defeating apparent Super Bowl contenders is another story. For the third time on the past four weeks, the Jets (3-4) had a chance make a statement against a team that’s expected to seriously compete for a berth [...]
