This is purgatory for Jets fans like me. Look, I'm thrilled that the line was rejuvenated, if only for a week. But I don't see how it will be enough to get New York to the postseason tournament.
Jets fans can now take a deep breath. If they can get to 4-4 at the bye, they'll be alive and kicking.
Shonn Greene ran for a career-high 161 yards and three touchdowns to power a rejuvenated "Ground-and-Pound" offense that rushed for more than 250 yards.
Jets tight end Dustin Keller and rookie wide receiver Stephen Hill are active for the team's game against Indianapolis after missing a few weeks.
The offense may be confused, but Jets tailgaters can't afford to be. If you're heading out to the game and giving it all for our boys in green, the rules of the road remain the same.
The New York Jets thought they had the same when they traded up to draft Mark Sanchez fifth overall in 2009. Now, they won't even commit to him as the starting quarterback beyond this week.
There will be no dramatic Super Bowl return for Darrelle Revis. Head coach Rex Ryan said Revis will have surgery next week to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, suffered almost three weeks ago at Miami.
The Jets are not going to win the division, but they can take baby steps, and that will put them in contention for an AFC Wild Card spot. It looks hopeless right now, but the schedule makers have given them a chance to rise up out of the muck.
"I would say he would have to go to church, temple — wherever he goes — find a nice girl and get laid," Lawrence Taylor said of Tim Tebow. "I mean, marry her if he has to, but he's got to get some of that pressure off."
Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes, Cedric Benson, running back for Green Bay, and Carolina center Ryan Kalil all have something unfortunate in common: they recently suffered Lisfranc injuries.
Drew Stanton's time as Jets backup QB was brief -- one week, to be exact. His reasons for signing and then asking out could provide insight into a franchise mired in Sanchez vs. Tebow.
If the Jets don't get to 3-3, it's going to be hard to stay in the race for a playoff spot. Playoffs? Did I just say playoffs?
Why not go all in? Bring Terrell Owens into the circus. Ryan can wear a ringmaster outfit on the sidelines, something the Jets could market in advance of Halloween. Set up three small rings on the sideline. Owens could ride in on a white horse.

"I wasn't trying to hurt him, obviously," Jets guard Matt Slauson said. "I must have just caught him by surprise, but unfortunately, things like that happen."
