New York Jets Flight Connections 01/06/26

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Todd McShay says not one single player wants to be a Jet. Which on its face is probably mostly true. Mostly, not completely. Players taken early in the draft probably would prefer not to be a Jet if they have other options. Players taken late in the draft probably have a better chance getting significant snaps on the Jets than on almost any other NFL team, so they probably want to be Jets. However, there is broader context here. McShay issued the statement in connection with him counseling Dante Moore to stay in school if...

Keep Aaron Glenn, Build the Environment, and Stop Fearing the “Ruined QB”

Keep Aaron Glenn, Build the Environment, and Stop Fearing the “Ruined QB”

Jets fans have been trained to fear one thing above all else. That a coaching staff will somehow ruin the next young quarterback. It’s an understandable anxiety given the last two decades. But it’s also a misunderstanding of how quarterbacks are actually developed in the NFL. History shows, again and again, that quarterbacks are shaped far more by their environment than by the reputation of their coaches. Coaching matters but it is not the primary factor that determines whether a young QB survives his first few seasons.

There is no secret technique that a coach teaches which permanently damages a...

The Jets made history in many ways in 2025

The Jets made history in many ways in 2025

The 2025 season is finally over for the New York Jets. It was one of the ugliest seasons in an ugly era for the franchise.

The team made history for the wrong reasons in many ways.

To start with, the team became the first since records were first kept in 1933 to go a full season without recording an interception.

Of course, adding to the absurdity of this stat is the fact the team’s head coach Aaron Glenn was a three-time Pro Bowl cornerback during his playing days.

The way the Jets finished the season also was unprecedented.

It is...

Aaron Glenn seems certain to survive the NFL’s Black Monday

Aaron Glenn seems certain to survive the NFL’s Black Monday

The 2025 season was a disaster for the New York Jets. The team posted a dismal 3-14 record and set history, becoming the first team since stats were first recorded in 1933 to register zero interceptions for an entire season. The Jets finished the year with five consecutive losses of 23 points or more and lost their games on average by a bigger margin than the Rich Kotite Jets of 1996.

Despite the team’s failures, it doesn’t sound like head coach Aaron Glenn is in any danger of losing his job. Both local and national reporters indicated over the weekend...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets got blown out by the Buffalo Bills backups yesterday. It was the team’s fifth straight humiliating blowout loss. The loss ended what was arguably the worst season performance in the history of this woebegone franchise. This Jets team set an NFL record that can never be broken with zero interceptions for the season. This Jets team was led by Garrett Wilson in receiving yards with 395. Wilson played seven games. There is just an almost endless stream of fun facts demonstrating the depths to which the Jets have fallen.

There will...

Jets save their worst for last: Season-ending loss to Bills gets ugly

Jets save their worst for last: Season-ending loss to Bills gets ugly

I hate to say it, but I wanted to see the Jets lose in Week 18 to the Buffalo Bills.

It was only partially dude to positioning in the NFL Draft. Of course, as a result of the 35-8 loss combined with the Giants’ win over the Cowboys, the Jets did clinch the number two overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. A win would have dropped the Jets by a couple of slots.

There was more to it, though. Over the years I’ve seen the Jets sell false hope over and over based on meaningless late season wins.

Jets clinch 2nd overall pick in 2026 NFL Draft

Jets clinch 2nd overall pick in 2026 NFL Draft

The Jets lost to the Buffalo Bills in Week 18 action by the embarrassing score of 35-8.

In the defeat, the Jets did gain something. The team clinched the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The team entered Week 18 in the third slot, trailing the Giants in the strength of schedule tiebreaker. However, the Giants’ win over the Cowboys combined with this loss to Buffalo bumped the Jets up to the second pick.

This leaves the Jets in position to potentially get one of the top quarterbacks without needing to trade up. The Raiders own the number...

Jets vs Bills Final Score: Bills backups bash Jets to wrap up an abomination of a season

In the New York Jets’ final game of the 2025 season, on a dreary January day in Orchard Park, New York, the Jets lost to the Buffalo Bills, 35 – 8, for their 14th loss of the season and their seventh loss in the last eight games.

The first half saw the Jets completely outclassed by the Bills backups. The Jets did not get a first down until midway through the second quarter on the way to a 21 – 0 halftime deficit. With Brady Cook under center putting up 24 yards passing in the half the game was all...

Jets vs Bills Second Half Thread

The first half of the New York Jets game against the Buffalo Bills is in the books, and the Jets are trailing the Bills, 21 – 0.

The game opened with the Jets on defense. It did not go well. Josh Allen played one snap to preserve his bogus consecutive games streak. The Bills backups took over and marched right down the field with only token resistance by the Jets defense. The drive ended with a blown Jets coverage resulting in an uncovered Bill waltzing into the end zone for an early 7 – 0 Bills lead.

The Jets took...

It’s week 18 of the NFL regular season and the New York Jets are on the road in Orchard Park, New York for their final game of the season. They will be taking on the Buffalo Bills. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. EST.

Jets updated 2026 NFL Draft order: New York could still get No. 1 pick

The Jets enter Week 18 holding onto the No. 3 draft pick in 2026, with the Raiders penciled in at No. 1 and the Giants at No. 2 after New York won the Tankathon Bowl against Las Vegas in Week 17. The Jets will almost certainly be picking in the Top 5, and they still have a very narrow path the first overall selection depending on the outcomes of Week 18 games.

To secure the first overall pick in 2026, the Jets would obviously have to lose to the Bills (seems doable), and the Raiders would have to beat the...
