We start again

The New York Jets will be nearly starting from scratch in 2025, with a new management team and a new coaching staff. To make matters worse, Joe Douglas left behind a salary cap burden far worse than the messes of Mike Tannenbaum or Mike Maccagnan. Douglas’ relentless adding of voidable years, including the albatross contract of Aaron Rodgers, paints a bleak picture.

Having Mike Tannenbaum aid the Jets in a general manager search gives me reason for pause. Tannenbaum knows many of the top candidates, but he hasn’t been an NFL executive since 2018 after he left...

Are the Jets hurting themselves by playing it “safe”

There are many reasons that the New York Jets are not winning games this season. Among the most important are that the offense is struggling and that the defense has taken a step back. However, small reasons can accumulate over time as well and lead to losses.

One such smaller issue may be the New York Jets’ decision-making on 4th downs. The NFL has trended towards more regular attempts to convert on 4th down rather than punting in recent years. This has largely been due to improvements in the use of...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets welcome Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in a game that means a lot for the Seahawks’ playoff aspirations and almost nothing for the Jets. Smith has resurrected his career with the Seahawks, becoming a starting quarterback again in 2022 after eight years as a journeyman backup for various NFL teams. The 34-year-old quarterback had an excellent year in 2022, leading the Seahawks to a wild card playoff berth and finishing with a passer rating over 100. Since then...

Black Friday features an AFC West rivalry game

It’s week 13 of the NFL season, and that means a recently established Thanksgiving tradition: Black Friday Football. This afternoon the Kansas City Chiefs host the Las Vegas Raiders in an AFC West rivalry game. The game is scheduled to start at 3:00 pm EST. The Chiefs are 13.5 point home favorites in this game according to our friends at Fanduel Sportsbook.

This is a game between the haves and the have nots. The Las Vegas Raiders fall decidedly in the have nots category. The 2-9 Raiders may be the worst team...

The Jets come out of their bye this weekend as they are set to face the Seattle Seahawks, a team quarterbacked by former Jet Geno Smith.

The Seahawks find themselves in a tight race in the NFC West. The Jets find themselves far outside the race for the AFC East and the race for the Playoffs.

This game could tell us a lot about how the Jets will approach the rest of the season. How much fight will they show going forward? Did the bye week allow the team to reset itself? Will we see anything redeeming about this football...

The fan confidence rating remains at 6 percent.

Each week we ask Jets fans for their opinions on the team in surveys we call SB Nation Reacts. Let’s take a look at this week’s results.

The Jets are obviously in the midst of a very disappointing season. The team had big expectations prior to 2024, but things have not panned out. Most of our surveys lately have shown fans lacking confidence in the team’s direction.

What if any impact did the bye week have? Did it lead fans to mellow a bit? Is there hope for some sort of small...

The Jets take on old friend Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday

The New York Jets are essentially out of playoff contention already, but they will be seeking to restore some pride in front of their home fans on Sunday against a 6-5 Seattle Seahawks team. The Seahawks are looking to consolidate their place atop the NFC West against a team that last beat them 20 years ago.

Let’s break down the Seattle roster going position by position:

Quarterbacks

Geno Smith last played for the Jets eight years ago, but he will still enjoy an opportunity to get...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. I hope that everyone was able to enjoy the food, the holiday, and the football from yesterday. Today we will also be seeing a Black Friday game, something that will likely be a staple for the league going forward. As for the New York Jets, the team may be without running back Breece Hall, and the questions continue to linger surrounding Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. At one time, the quarterback suggested that he...

Week 13 of Thursday Night Football features an inter-conference showdown

Thursday Night Football, Week 13. Tonight the Green Bay Packers host the Miami Dolphins. The Packers are 3.5 point home favorites in this game according to our friends at Fanduel Sportsbook.

The 5-6 Miami Dolphins got off to a terrible start this season. Starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was injured in the second game of the season and the Dolphins offense collapsed, scoring 15 points or less in five straight games and losing four of them. Tagovailoa returned to action five games ago, and the Dolphins offense sprang to life, scoring...

A couple of traditional Thanksgiving Day matchups are on tap this afternoon

Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season gets underway with a couple of traditional Thanksgiving Day afternoon games.

At 12:30 pm EST the 10-1 Detroit Lions host the 4-7 Chicago Bears in what looks like a mismatch on paper. However, divisional rivalry games are often unpredictable, and the Lions might be overlooking a bad Bears team that has lost five straight games. Throw in the short week to prepare and who knows, maybe this game turns out closer than anticipated.

At 4:30 pm the 4-7 Dallas Cowboys host...

The Jets have played eight times on Thanksgiving in the past. They are an even 4-4 in those games. Below we will take a look at them.

November 24, 1960: New York Titans 41 Dallas Texans 35

The American Football League played games on Thanksgiving, and the Jets played on Turkey Day in each their first three years of existence. They were called the Titans at that point. Playing against the future Kansas City Chiefs, Don Maynard caught 10 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown, while Art Powell added 8 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown.
