Ever since Joe Namath's last snap as a Jet, the team has had about as many starting quarterbacks as Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts.
Jets fans probably feel like Roy Hobbs in "The Natural," forced to listen to psychobabble about how losing is a disease. But we stand by our teams no matter how dire it gets.
How do we even put postmortems on this flat-lined franchise? Is it off with Rex Ryan's vocational head? Or do we blame the GM who didn't see fit to spend $20 million in cap space?
The answer to that question is of course yes, but New York fans are probably wondering just how much more suffering is awaiting them.
Smith admitted he was frustrated to learn he was no longer the Jets' starting quarterback. But he wasn't surprised. He also didn't have much of a reaction: "I just went on with my day."
Never a dull moment with Rex's Gang Green...
Jets general manager John Idzik's press conference aired during Mike Francesa's show on WFAN on Monday afternoon, and the host was not at all impressed with the GM's performance.
John Idzik blames himself for the mess that has become the New York Jets' season. No, the general manager isn't happy with the job he has done. And, no, this isn't what he envisioned in his second year in charge of the franchise.
Ryan said that the decision "isn't any long-term deal or whatever," but adds that it is "the right decision for this time."
It wasn't clear from the clip what set off the fight. But the Bills fan "had been shooting his mouth off" during New York's loss "and the Jets fans took exception," one person told TMZ.
Seven straight losses. The remainder of the season is meaningless. Why even debate the merits of who is the better quarterback between Geno Smith and Michael Vick?
The Giants are on the brink of falling off the side of the mountain, but they have a fighting chance because they have Coughlin and Manning.
New York loses their seventh game in a row as Gang Green falls apart on both sides of the football.
Whether it was Geno Smith or Michael Vick, it really didn't matter much on a mistake-filled day for the Jets. "Let me tell you," coach Rex Ryan said, "I'm getting sick and tired of the losing."
Understand that by all rights, Rex Ryan has eight more games to go in his Jets coaching career. The only question is whether he chooses execution or suicide.
It's been 40 years since the Cardinals got off to such a good start. They didn't even live in Arizona back then.
When it comes to the Jets, one can always expect it to get worse. And yesterday provided another example in that line of thinking.
He's back! Sort of. Fireman Ed led the J-E-T-S chant at WFAN's Blow Off Some Steam for Gang Green pregame party at Redd's Restaurant & Bar near MetLife Stadium, hosted by Craig Carton of the Boomer & Carton show.
The Buffalo Bills are in the AFC East race riding their best start in three years, though they'll have a much different look offensively with their once-dangerous backfield tandem out of action.
As the Jets went through their final practice Friday before facing the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, Percy Harvin was looking more and more like someone who has turned the page on the old chapter of his football career.
The Jets are suddenly throwing money around on new contracts. But what about the one guy who many think really deserves a new deal, Muhammad Wilkerson?
A shoving match breaks out in a section of the MetLife Stadium stands. While security officers hustle to the scene, a beyond state-of-the-art surveillance system is recording every detail.
Craig Carton has planned a massive "Blowing Off Some Steam for Gang Green" pregame party for all you long-suffering Jets fans. We have the details.
Some days are better than others -- just ask Al Dukes.
The Jets aren't quite sure how much of the playbook Harvin will have down by kickoff against Buffalo. And, even if they did, they'll just keep everyone guessing — especially the Bills.
