The New York Jets, without question, are an up-and-coming team with their above-average running game, their shut-down defense (especially their secondary) and a rising star in quarterback Mark Sanchez. All of those attributes would be put to the test as they visited Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship [...]
It probably is hereditary, but New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has his team believing that they can advance far in the playoffs. His father Buddy, a relatively successful football coach in his own right, carried the same demeanor. Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals would provide its first real test of the type of [...]
For about a week or so, the big question that was tossed about in light of the Indianapolis Colts’ quest for an undefeated season was whether Peyton Manning and Co. would play the entire game Sunday against the New York Jets. The issue was laid to rest in the third quarter when head coach Jim [...]
“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 Sunday [...]
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.

Jets running back Thomas Jones rushed for over 200 yards last Sunday at the age of 31 and he believes he can continue for another four or five seasons. “I can play another four or five years if I want to, God willing, if I stay healthy,” Jones said Friday before the Jets left for [...]
Five lead changes in the final quarter. Now that’s certainly something that you do not see every day; but then again, that is a testament to the defenses of the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets in their nationally televised game Monday night. With the amount of scoring that took place in the final 15 [...]
So much for rookie jitters.
Mark Sanchez stepped under center for the first time in a regular season game on Sunday, and looked as cool as a beach vacation, as the rookie and the Jets defense stole the show in a somewhat surprising 24-7 one-sided win over the Houston Texans.
Sanchez’s numbers were strong – 18-for-31 for [...]
The NY Daily News reports that Thomas Jones is going nowhere according to Rex Ryan:
Coach Rex Ryan angrily denied an Internet report that said the Jets are shopping RB Thomas Jones, who is unhappy with his contract. “I promise you, that is ridiculous,” he said after Wednesday night’s practice at Hofstra. “Shoot, I’m not going [...]
