As the Jets head into their bye week, you know what you can say about Gang Green's playoff chances? Bye Bye!
Maybe the winds from Hurricane Sandy can blow the Jets out of town. It can take them all, starting with Mark Sanchez.
Halfway through the schedule, the Jets are broken. The season has spiraled out of control, and the chances of stopping it may be about as slim as Sandy veering east instead of west.
It's tough to find clever ways to eulogize the Jets, who have no identity on offense, and little talent on defense.
Rex Ryan was frustrated again after Sunday's loss, a feeling that's becoming a regular thing for the Jets coach.
The miserable Jets were steamrolled by the Dolphins 30-9 on Sunday.
The Jets retired Dennis Byrd's number 90 on Sunday. The fans at MetLife Stadium gave the inspirational Byrd a standing ovation.
11-year-old Dante Cano presented pink flags to NFL officials at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Bart Scott's streak of 119 games came to an end on Sunday as he missed the Jets' game against the Dolphins.
Rex Ryan wants his Jets to "empty the tank" against the rival Dolphins on Sunday.
Cromartie nearly let out an obscenity when he was first asked about Bush's comments, before catching himself and adding,"I'm not going to say what I really want to say about Reggie Bush."
You can expect a lot of hard hitting. And the Jets are ready for that from the Dolphins on Sunday.
Mike Pouncey took his turn at firing up the back-and-forth banter between the Dolphins and Jets.
When asked about his playing time in a recent interview, the typically guarded Tim Tebow offered a surprising critique of the loud-and-proud culture under coach Rex Ryan.
As the Jets are busy preparing to take on Ryan Tannehill and the 3-3 Miami Dolphins, the rookie signal caller dialed up Boomer & Craig to offer a Miami perspective on the big AFC East showdown.
An incredibly impressive streak may come to an end on Sunday. Linebacker Bart Scott, who has played in 116 consecutive football games, is in jeopardy of sitting out on Sunday with a lingering toe injury.
It's nothing to laugh at or be snide or condescending toward. If he is any sort of man, Bush does owe Revis an apology for what was more than a slight, but really was trivializing and glorying in the injury of another human being.
Tebowmania is alive and well, though apparently not within the NFL ranks.
"I'm grateful for another opportunity to play this guy, and he will remember that hit," Landry said. "Every time he sees me, he will remember that hit. If I'm in the box or I'm coming downhill, whatever, he will remember that hit."
Talk about a bad stretch for Mark Sanchez. The Jets quarterback fumbled away a chance to beat the Patriots, and was voted by his peers as the second-most overrated player in the NFL. But that's not all.
Rex Ryan thinks Bush should apologize for his comments a few weeks ago that Darrelle Revis' season-ending injury was a case of "what goes around comes around."
Byrd's triumph over tragedy will take center stage this Sunday when his No. 90 jersey is retired at halftime of the Jets-Dolphins game at MetLife Stadium. The painful memories of that fateful December Sunday from 20 years ago will surely come to mind.
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.
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.
