As the Jets head into their bye week, you know what you can say about Gang Green's playoff chances? Bye Bye!
You can expect a lot of hard hitting. And the Jets are ready for that from the Dolphins on Sunday.
Mark Sanchez is a bachelor once again. The couple was together for three months, but the two parted ways because of "the age difference," according to a report.
Seven weeks into the season the Eagles have fired their defensive coordinator and the Panthers have fired their GM. Atlanta remains the league's only unbeaten team, and only three AFC teams have winning records.
His performance in New England showed that he has the stuff to get the job done, but he must now show that over four quarters. Only then will his critics go away, and only Sanchez can shut them up. It remains to be seen if he can do that.
Forget all the scaredy-cat talk. Another AFC East opponent awaits -- the Miami Dolphins, rested off the bye week.
Ryan insisted on Monday that the Jets "go down to win," and those who think that the team was playing "scared" in a 29-26 defeat are "ridiculous."
They won't be favored when they return from a bye week to play at Seattle in Week 10 or when they host the Patriots the following week, but they have an excellent chance of going 8-1 or 7-2 in the final nine games.
One thing is for sure after watching Sunday's game -- make that two things. The Patriots are vulnerable, and the Jets had no business losing that one.
The Jets snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Sunday -- and they managed to do it in as agonizing a fashion as the hardcore and old school fans have ever seen.
Conservatism doesn't play well in the Northeast. And I'm not talking about political campaigns. I'm talking about Jets football.
The Jets had a chance after the Patriots managed just a field goal. New York moved from its 15 to its 40 before Sanchez lost the ball as he was being sacked.
New York's inactives are safety Eric Smith, defensive tackles Sione Po'uha and Kenrick Ellis, wide receiver Clyde Gates, running back Bilal Powell.
Unfortunately, there simply doesn't seem to be any team in the AFC East that can seriously challenge the Patriots.
"The good news is you're tied for first. The bad news is you're tied for last," Ryan said, "but that's kind of the NFL right now.
3-3? The Patriots? It's hard to believe, but as Bill Parcells once said, "You are what your record says you are."
New York Jets backup running backs Joe McKnight and Bilal Powell did not participate in practice, and their availability for the team's game on Sunday at New England is uncertain.
Dustin Keller stood in front of his locker for nearly 10 minutes and, perhaps for the first time in months, was not asked about his two most popular Jets teammates.
The Jets waived John Conner on Wednesday, reaching an injury settlement with the 25-year-old fullback. The fifth-round pick of the Jets in the 2010 NFL Draft has been dealing with an MCL sprain and a hamstring injury this season.
Mark Sanchez is a bare-minimum NFL quarterback. He has a hard time throwing the ball accurately, and the Jets simply don't have the receivers to take on a defense that ranks 28th in passing yards allowed. Tim Tebow, you say? Please.
Mark Sanchez didn't exactly make his fantasy football owners happy with 82 passing yards on Sunday against the Colts. But Jets fans would be more than happy to see this from the starting QB here on out.
While the Jets have shown over the last two weeks that they are beginning to understand the concept of team play, I'm still very skeptical about their chances against their longtime nemesis.
