Posted in “Wisdom comes alone through suffering.” – Aeschylus For New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, this can be considered a season of learning and growing pains. They (the team) indeed had some high points and some low points, as part of the learning process. The Jets perhaps learned a football lesson in their game on [...]

Jones Scores Twice, Jets Squash Buccaneers 26-3
It can be easily said and assumed that during the New York Jets-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on Sunday, offense would come at a premium as the Jets and Buccaneers combined for a total of 434 yards of total offense, which is, for a better choice of words, totally offensive. Nonetheless, the Jets did a good [...]
Ginn The Dolphins’ Tonic, Edge Jets 30-25
One thing can be said for the Miami Dolphins: they find different ways to score on any given week. During Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, despite amassing (and I use the word amassing loosely) 104 total yards of offense. That in and of itself tells you that they found ways to score other [...]
Jets End 3-Game Losing Streak, Blank Raiders 38-0

With the amount of scoring that took place in the final 15 [...]
Thomas Jones a Seahawk? Don’t Be Fooled, it Could Happen
Despite being denied by head coach Rex Ryan, Thomas Jones’ days in green and white could soon be over. According to the National Football Post, the Jets have recently called an NFC West team in order to shop last year’s league leader in rushing. While it was not specified which team the Jets contacted, it’s [...]
Jets Looking for Takers for Running Back Thomas Jones?
Last season Thomas Jones of the Jets led the AFC in rushing, but that is not stopping the Jets from putting him on the trading block according to a report from the National Football Post: The New York Jets are gauging trade interest in RB Thomas Jones(notes), according to National Football Post. The team, bolstered [...]
Jones and Washington Show Up as a Sign of Good Faith…Now Let’s Pay ‘Em
I still stand by my earlier posting that we should pay Leon Washington over Thomas Jones but it is a rare thing in the NFL to see players make the first move of “good faith.” I appreciate that as a fan. I recall when former Jets QB Chad Pennington took a pay cut just to [...]
