Overcoming a Bad Loss The loss last week to the Oakland Raiders was more than a normal loss. It was not just going out, playing a much improved Raider team, giving everyone you have, and coming up short. It started with our quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick not sliding and losing him right from the start with a […]
The victory over the Washington Redskins by the New York Jets was predicted by most “experts”. Washington was missing many starters through injury and the Jets were playing at home. The past six years have not seen positive results coming off a bye week for the Jets, even when playing a “lesser” team. With a […]
The culture of a team is so important. The NY Jets “culture” has been, for sure the past few years, of getting up and playing with emotion against top flight teams and rivals, and then coming out flat after being told how great they are, or that this was a “regular” game. It takes a […]
“The NY Jets are doing so much to encourage fan involvement compared to the Giants!” This was music to my ears, talking to fans, as I sat at the free Green and White Scrimmage last night at Met Life Stadium. Fans on the field as players come out the tunnel, fans holding the huge flag, […]
Congratulations to the NFL’s First Female Coach, Jen Welter! As I sit in the living room of a player (and his wife) who was a famous part of my draft history, a story comes across the TV screen about The Arizona Cardinals hiring an assistant LB coach as an intern for the summer. I didn’t know […]
The Narrative 4 players walked away from their NFL careers the past 2 weeks without being cut. Of course all the news stations that rarely cover sports are jumping on this as “the end of the NFL and football!” The Truth I beg to differ with their conclusions. Each one of these is different and […]
What an amazing Super Bowl! It lived up to all the hype and ended up with the most questionable call that cost the Seattle Seahawks the victory. I’m no Patriot fan but I do believe the greatness of Tom Brady was on display in that game, but especially the fourth quarter, bringing the Patriots from […]
As usual, the unpredictable happened. Rex Ryan is now the Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills. Reports had been flowing about Rex going to ESPN, CBS, maybe the 49ers but almost for sure, since supposedly Arthur Blanks loved him, to the Atlanta Falcons to become their new Head Coach. I woke this morning, turned on […]
I know it’s only one victory, but beating the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, 20-13 meant so much more than that. TURNOVERS! The Jets only had 3 the first 8 games but got 4 yesterday and did not turn the ball over themselves. No matter how well our defense plays, without turnovers to help a struggling offense, […]
I was sitting at home on Friday afternoon, watching “Pardon the Interruption” on ESPN, when I got a phone call from my son Chris, in Orlando. “Mom, did you hear the Jets got Percy Harvin?” I said yeah, right, that has to be a joke. But, within a few minutes, the news was all over Twitter! […]
