Let's be honest. The Jets are very lucky that they were hosting the Bills -- because they really didn't play that well.
Whenever anyone mentions the Buffalo Bills being a young, rebuilding team, they can point to Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Jets as Exhibit A.
The Jets are in a zero-sum business right now. Win, move on to the next game, and win again. Do it enough times and they'll save their season.
This was one frantic finish the Jets might consider a turning point if they end up pulling off another late-season playoff push.
The Jets ended their two-game slide with a 28-24 win over the Buffalo Bills yesterday afternoon, got four TD passes from Mark Sanchez and improved to 6-5 .
Mark Sanchez led a Jets' comeback over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday to keep Gang Green's playoff hopes alive. His late heroics keep the Jets in playoff contention.
New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson is sidelined for the second straight game as he recovers from a sprained left knee.
Buffalo Bills starting safety George Wilson will miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets because of a neck injury.
From the outside, it would seem the Jets were falling apart emotionally at just the wrong time -- not that there is any right time for that stuff. But maybe this all will work in reverse, like a new spark plug inserted into a sputtering engine.
Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson won't play Sunday in New York against the Jets because of a leg injury.
Mark Sanchez knows his job is safe. His reps in practice are another matter.
The wide receiver had received permission from the team to do charity work in his hometown in Virginia on Monday, and returned Monday night instead of Tuesday, as originally planned.
A couple of weeks ago Boomer offered his personal tickets for this Sunday's Bills-Jets game to out old friend Omar in Brooklyn.
Rex Ryan may be $75,000 lighter in the wallet. But ask him about his floundering team's future, and he's all rainbows and lollipops.
Even with gloom and doom being the overwhelming feeling among fans and the media, the Jets believe they can still turn things around.
Moving his NFL picks from Thursday to Friday didn't work out well for Neil Keefe. But if starting pitchers can cite an extra day of rest between starts as their reason for failing then Neil can certainly use an extra day between picks as a reason for his struggles.
With his Buffalo Bills having lost two games in-a-row, we had begun to wonder if we would ever hear from our friend Omar in Brooklyn again. Then Omar called in - a humble Omar that is.
This could have been a shining moment against the Patriots. Instead, like we've seen over and over with these Jets, they let it -- and the chase for the AFC East title -- slip away.
See what the Cowboys did to the Buffalo Bills yesterday? Beware, Giants fans. While next week's hated rival Philadelphia continues its 2011 implosion and falls further out of the playoff picture, the Cowboys appear very much alive.
If you thought last week was bad like Neil Keefe did, then you can expect this week this week to be worse. Nine of the 16 games have spreads of three points or less (and the Giants-49ers line is 3.5).
The Jets have now won three in a row but things are far from perfect. They still have a lot of cleaning up to do, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
The Jets went vintage in their 27-11 win in Buffalo on Sunday, riding a tough defense and physically imposing their will on the Bills in what looked like an old school game from head coach Rex Ryan.
Forgetting for a moment that the Buffalo Bills are actually a New York team, you couldn't ask for a better Sunday of NFL football from a New York perspective.
Mark Sanchez threw a touchdown to Santonio Holmes, and the New York Jets' sturdy defense forced three turnovers in a 27-11 win
Keller was shaken up early into the second quarter on the Jets' second drive against the Bills on Sunday.
