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 thumb injury. The Jets were […]

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 while to break that culture.

“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, reward points for so many

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 Sportscenter and there was the

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, to score a Defensive touchdown

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! A Super fast WR/PR/KR who

Last year the players decided, though late in the year, to unite to win to make sure Coach Rex Ryan would be retained as Head Coach of the New York Jets. They won their last two games, including a victory to knock the Miami Dolphins out of the playoffs. Remember the celebration in the locker room? The Jets better do

Tough Sledding When the NY Jets were at training camp in Cortland this past summer, a bunch of loyal Jet Fans would sit outside the Country Inn Suites Hotel and discuss the “murderous” Jets schedule. After all agreeing that the Jets would defeat the Raiders on opening day, the consensus was it was imperative to be 2-2 after the first

Today was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Losing to the Green Bay Packers was not unexpected, having to face the best QB in the NFL Aaron Rodgers at the legendary Lambeau Field. But after scoring touchdowns on our first 3 possessions and leading 21-3, I almost believed this could be a monumental upset. But a football

Beating Oakland opening day was a must and the Jets are now 1-0. Getting the W is what counts in the end, but it shouldn’t have come down to recovering an onside kick to preserve a 5 point victory. Should Have Been a “Rat Kill” As Coach Rex Ryan pointed out so well in the after game press conference, when
