JETS/GIANTS Huge Matchup 2012
New York Jets vs New York Giants.
This will be the most crucial game between the two teams since a battle in 1988 that kept the Giants out of the playoffs after being upset by the Jets.
Since then and from 1996 Giants have won 4 in a row in the series.
This is absolutely the biggest because of the major playoff Implications for both teams.
It's a Jets home game which could add an edge, but besides that it should be an all out dogfight.
Both teams have different strengths, as their weaknesses will have attempts at exploitation.
Giants are skilled and polished behind Eli Manning, but seem less cohesive right now in team depth. Giants injuries are also more devastating, only adding to the problem.
Objectively the Jets Defense is more balanced and should be able to wear down Manning. However it can only flow that way if Sanchez can stay solid and not force the big turnover. Greene must be affective as well in the run game.
This is the Jets time. Put aside all the talk first thing Saturday morning.
It's a battle and I see the Jets winning.

JETS Free Falling
The NY Jets have been in a tailspin this past week.
5 days and two harsh losses to the Patriots first at home, and then losing in humiliating fashion to The Broncos in Denver.
Regardless of the situation the Jets fantastic Defense has wilted in key closing moments this season, including now the Broncos game.
Jets just cannot contain and get that one big stop when they've need it.
Some of these guys are just not performing up to their potential.
Despite the accolades of mark Sanchez so far in his young career, he has to step up and be more accountable and start playing like a seasoned leader, instead of a kid learning on the job.
Football's a funky business. Wins are all that's in order.
After the crushing defeat at the hands of the chosen one Tim Tebow 17-13,
The JETS head upstate to face the other reeling team the Bills.
Something will break now.
You would like to think JETS after handling Buffalo at home will do the same on the road, especially to a Buffalo team that is licking their wounds and feeling very sorry for themselves right now.

JETS Prepped after bye to face the BILLS
Ok...it was nice to support the GIANTS through a rocky win today over Miami, but now time to focus on the JETS and their encounter with the Bills on Sunday.
JETS bye week came at a great time with the team up 4-3 heading into buffalo with a clear look today at what they will be facing to get their 1st road victory of the season.
Advantage JETS!!
Rex and Co. will now make necessary adjustments.
Jets defense will need to plug the #1 options on the team being Jackson & Johnson. Stop them and they take away Fitzpatrick's main option.
NYJ future looking bright!

JETS on Track
The Jets entered the 2nd game of the short trained preseason with a lot of questions that needed to be answered. They got those answers in a trouncing victory Sunday eve against the Bengals, and displayed that in many phases of the game especially from the Jets starting units.
The 27-7 final score was significant only in the sense that the Jets controlled the game from the perspective of what should support the ups and downs of the season and that's through their defense.
It's the Jets offense that everyone wanted to see click, and we got that with a huge touchdown to Plaxico Burress, which had to feel extra special for the wide receiver who spent 2 years in jail, and 3 years out of football.
He showed quickly how he can be a major target for Sanchez this season.
As mark was on it going 12/20 173yrds passing and 2 TD's.
He looked very loose and very smooth in his early delivery.
Santonio Holmes also looked dialed in and ready to have a superb all pro season ahead.
I like the Jets movement. Competition is ferocious and this was a good test and evaluation of the talent on hand.
Biggest preseason game will come next week against the Giants, as last showing of 1st squad before the regular season.
Jets and most other teams likely to sit starters during game #4 preseason.
1st Jets face interstadium rivals....bring it on!

JETS EUPHORIC GLORY!!
The New York Jets achieved the greatest heights on Sunday winning arguably the 2nd biggest game in Jets history. It certainly was that kind of upset as the JETS beat the NE Patriots 28-21 before a shocked home crowd in Foxboro Mass.
It went pretty much How I said it had to go for the Jets to pull off the upset.
The JETS Defense had to pressure Brady...which they did with 5 sacks!
Then the defense would dictate the offense, which is also what happened as Sanchez managed an efficient game with 3 TD passes on only 194 yards, as he ran the Jets offense well. I'm not going to say perfectly because there were many possessions that the Jets failed to seal the game with when the opportunity was there, leaving it up to the Defense to keep coming through...and luckily they did.
On offense the Ground game produced enough to keep the Pats D off balance, while the receiving of Holmes, Cotchery and Edwards produced big time.
They combined for 10 huge catches but Cotchery the Jets reliable veteran produced 5 of those catches for 96 yards.

Brady and his offense in the 2nd half down 10 points thought he was masterminding a brilliant comeback, but his counterparts couldn't help him achieve their deal.
He finished with 299 yards passing and 2 TD's but they came too late.
Jets defense did enough besides the sacks to disrupt Brady and his Rhythm.
As a JETS fan it's one of the greatest and most satisfying feelings especially beating Brady, Belickeck and the Patriots.
The NY Jets time just may have come.
More work of course as they're now expected to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2nd time on their field in one season. A very tall task, but a wonderful position to be in.
Soak up all the hype now fans as it's your time to beat the skeptics and be involved as far a the Jets will take us,
NY JETS in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP Game.
How sweet it is to say that!

JETS PARTY
The NY JETS had there easiest and most prolific win of the season.
They wanted a big win going into the playoffs and they got it crushing the Bills 38-7 and forcing 6 turnovers.
Joe Mcknight the Jets rookie RB out of USC had his coming out party with 158 yards rushing.
Jets as a team were loosy goosey and everything seemed to flow.
Sanchez played 1 series and then watched as Mark Brunell and Kellen Clemens finished off the Bills and the regular season.
Jets finish at 11-5 earning their 4th career eleven win season in franchise history.
The defense was potent getting contributions from all sorts including Marquis Cole's 35 yard Interception run back for a TD.

Now Jets can feel a bit more comfortable rolling into the playoffs even though they have to fly to Indy to play none other than their nemesis in the AFC Championship game of last year, Peyton Manning and the Colts. For the Jets, they better be ready, as they have proven all year to be a much more potent team.
However last year Jets got hot late, and will need a lot of that magic to undo Manning and the Colts at home.
Shame because the Colts seem to have snuck their way into the playoffs this year as the Jets did last year. Now NYJ have to prove that it wasn't all a fluke and that they're the better team.
The game will go down on a Saturday night playoff special. All the Country will be watching and The Jets will have their moment to shine.
Can they take advantage of this opportunity?
I certainly think so, and will not consider the season a failure if they lose... depending on how they play.
Colts have struggled this year especially on defense. It's up to the coaching staff and Sanchez to find the right mix to break down Indy's defensive alignment.

Either way it's exciting JETS Fans!
Jets are in the playoffs and that's what's important, even though expectations are high after getting to the Championship game in the AFC last year.
Let's have fun!
GO JETS!!

JETS Can't Corral BEARS
The NY JETS season has taken an interesting turn.
What's to be said about backing your way into the playoffs?
Well that's what the Jets have been relegated to.
However you still need to be in a prime position to receive such an opportunity.
This is not what this Jets team thought would occur upon celebrating a playoff birth.
It would have been a lot sweeter had the Jets beaten the Bears on Sunday in Chicago.
Jets spotted the Bears 10 points but then reeled off 21 straight.
It should have been enough, but this was a cold weather sloppy turnover game, and the Jets just pressed their luck a bit too much.
They punted the ball late in the 4th quarter 1 too many times, not leaving themselves the options they had hoped for down the stretch.
2 possessions late with good field position and makable 4th down and 5's the Jets punted both time. The momentum was gone by the time the last possession came around and failed.
Bears win 38-34. They've achieved great things on both sides of the ball this season, and it should reflect in their play ahead. They can still clinch a 1st round bye with a little help and a victory next week in Green Bay.
Cutler scorched the Jets for 3 TD's despite the times the pressure seemed to get to him.
Unfortunately Jets were not getting to those loose balls, and the opportunities slipped from their finger tips.
Sanchez did have a decent game despite the 1 interception, with 269 yds passing and 1 TD.
However this was clearly an opportunity that slipped away from them.
Jets could not keep it together with any consistency. They went to the "wishing well" once to often and they came up short.
The running game of LT and Greene just wasn't enough, nor was the receiving abilities of the Jets talented group.
Clearly 1 step beyond the winning touch on Sunday.
Jets can win their 11th game of the season for only the 5th time in franchise history with a victory over the hapless divisional rival Bills next week.

It was a difficult game to endure Jets fans, but there's reason for great hope as the JETS can regroup, refocus, and rebalance themselves for a playoff run like last season.
Go Green !

JETS QUIET GUN
Who's Huge In Sports?
JETS get it done with my Fav Brad Smith.
He's the most valuable and versatile Jet player 2 years running.
And he does it quietly and with class.
Gotta love the 2 TD's and 1 shoe run!!
JETS beat the Bengals after the slow start and 7-3 halftime deficit.
They put it all together in the 2nd half.
Defense holds stud prep for next Monday Night's showdown as the
Game of the year!
JETS (9-2) vs PATRIOTS (9-2) in New England
Division title hangs in the balance.
Jets gonna kick some "Baston" ass!!
Bring it on and GO JETS!

JETS RESISTENCE
JETS REPORT

NYJ are making a habit out of winning bad or ugly games. Sunday's game with the Browns was neither, but it was one of those situations where the JETS ...at least of old would have lost. Instead NY pulled off the 26-20 overtime win against Mangini and The Browns in Cleveland.
The scenario made the JETS the only team in Football history to win back to back road games in OT. Mark Sanchez beautiful timing pass to Santonio Holmes broke free for the TD and game winner. This is something that Holmes is getting used to doing. He set up last weeks OT winning Filed Goal against the Lions and continues to burn teams that lapse on him late in games. Credit to the Jets for locating him.

This game was another great example of Mark Sanchez's growth (2 TD's & 299 yards passing), maturity, poise, and confidence in leading the team. He continues to learn from mistakes, while eluding on coming pass rushers with sheer grace. Sanchez had a Huge day! He's huge as a leader. Something the Jets have needed for a long time, and now truly have it.

The Defense stiffened after giving up 13 first half points, holding down the Browns in the entire 2nd half until they scored on that late drive to tie the game with under a minute to go, and sending it into OT. JETS need to remain a bit concerned about this as a trend, especially as the season tightens up down the stretch.
All in all it's a beautiful picture with the JETS at 7-2 cruising towards a showdown with the Texans next Sunday in the Meadowlands.

JETS REACTION ROARS
The JETS are considered a good Football team this year. That's why they won games in Denver and Sunday in Detroit the way they did. Good teams win bad games, or ugly games.
This was neither, but the Jets were losing late and underachieving for most of the contest.
They managed an overtime win against the Lions 23-20 against an upstart talented team.
Unfortunately for Detroit they lost there starting QB Stafford again with a shoulder injury.
Until that point Lions were in good control up 10 with 8 min to go in the 4th quarter.
Jets D held tough and Mark Sanchez struck in time to lead the victory.
Jets lucked out with getting the ball first in OT and not giving it up.
Sanchez finished 22-39 for 323 yards passing and 1 TD, and most importantly no Interceptions.
LT led the winning drive with great balance, and Santonio Holmes showed what a lethal weapon he can be.
Jets are 6-2 and back in 1st place with Pats loss to Browns.
NYJ get those same Browns next week in Cleveland, and will face their old coach Mangini who's feeling pretty darn good about himself right now after knocking off King Belichek.
Jets will be ready for what Patriots weren't.

JETS UNEXPLAINABLE LOSS
The Jets suffered one of those strange losses that only a true Jets fan could relate too.
It's absolutely unthinkable based on the circumstances of the Jets on a 5 game winning streak, playing like the best team in the NFL, coming back from an off week, and lose to the Packers?? Who've struggled on the road and have a laundry list of injuries.
They shut out the jets 9-0!! It's sickening from a jets fan perspective.
Blunders though really mixed in with some bad calls by the officials but NY shot themselves in the foot with this one, with poor judgment on challenges and risky plays.
Green Bay didn't do anything spectacular accept their defense played better then i thought they would. Jets really beat themselves. sanchez had a horrible game with 2 interceptions and the Jets get shutout for the first time in 5 years.
Need I say more?
Gut check this week in practice. Ryan sure to kick some complacent ass!
Jets are NOT the best team in the league right now.
They get the up beat Lions in Detroit next Sunday.

JETS KICKBACK BRONCOS
The New York Jets accomplished a lot of great things by beating the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Mile High Stadium 24-20. Something not easily accomplished in Jets history.
They go into the bye week on a 5 game winning streak, and got a little good fortune on the way. Not luck because that was a pass Interference call on the Bronco Secondary at the end of the game with the Jets faced with a 4th down and 6.
However the Jets capitalized. and the is is the type of game that good teams win, good teams manage to pull off because you need a little of that luck and magic to be successful.
The New York Jets have certainly put themselves in a position to be that team.

Mark Sanchez had an up and down game but overall is finding the ways to make the plays necessary to win ball games. He had a modest 198 passing on 17/30 one TD but 2 INT's.
Not horrible ones but Interceptions all the same. Mark seems to learn quickly from his mistakes and looked real smooth in the 2nd half on a great deal of his drives.
LT was the man again, rushing for 2 TD's and 67 all purpose yards.
Defense did it's usual power stance when needed and the NY Jets do it!
For Denver they displayed their rookie weapon early when Tim Tebow took the option into the end zone Gator style to tie the game in the 1st quarter.
Note Nick Folk, who's kicked very well so far for this Jets team kicked a Jets record 56 yard FG that made a huge difference in this games out come!
They sit top of the world going into the break 5-1 and looking good.
NY Jets Huge!

JETS STYLE POINTS FINS CLASSIC
JETS REPORT

The New York Jets are starting to show the true signs of their talent, with all the hype built around them this off season, and for the HBO drama Hard Knocks.
Jets came into this Sunday night game against a great rival in the Miami Dolphins, always sure to be a battle to the finish. There have been some classics between the 2 teams over the last 25 years and tonight could qualify as a great one, with the Jets rolling to victory in Miami 31-23.
This was a game that literally came down to the last play. The Jets defense bending but not breaking against Chad Henne, who despite his 363 yards passing and 2 TDs, could not overcome the JETS final wall. Hennes throw on 4th down was intercepted in the end zone with under a minute to go.

Jets extend to 2-1 and can now breathe a little, shake off the fame jitters and continue to execute effective winning football on both sides of the ball.
Mark Sanchez had another huge game for the Jets throwing for 3 TDs for the 1st time in his career last week, and now in back to back games. Marks 256 yards passing and no interceptions have him completely on his game with no picks dating back 5 regular season games.

Braylon Edwards proved his value to the jets immediately upon entering the game late due to his DWI 1 quarter suspension. Fans watched Edwards exploding for a huge career long 67 yard TD reception. Ladainian Tomlinson also came up big proving himself every minute about his rejuvenation with 70 hard fought yards on 15 carries plus a TD & 3 catches for 18 yards.
So the Jets performed a balanced and productive game putting themselves in the driver seat to their seasons destiny.
Jets now look upstate to buffalo for next week while the Dolphins go to New England.
Jets Sunday night victory very nice.

JETS JOLT PATS
The New York Jets have done it. They finally showed the fans and themselves what they are really capable of. NYJ played an amazing 2nd half shutting out the Patriots and cruising to a 28-14 win.
New York struggled to get things going in the 1st half and trailing 14-10.
It was an uneasy and uncomfortable situation to witness. Coupled with the Sharp play of Tom Brady and His receivers, especially the 1 handed spider web catch before the end of the half burning The Jets, and Darelle Revis hamstring. There was definitely concern going into the half.
Rex Ryan must have kicked some butt at HT because after a stalled 1st series Mark Sanchez and the Jets took off. He threw for a career high 3 TD passes off 21/30 passing for 220 yards and no INT's. LT was huge with 76 hard fought yards on 11 carries, and Dustin Keller came up big with 7 catches for 115 yrds and a TD.

Jets had to overcome a lot of adversity in this game. Revis goes down with a hamstring injury, Nick Mangold hurt his shoulder and Jason Taylor had a serious arm injury.
But the team hung tough, and the backups stepped up. Putting Cromartie on Moss in the 2nd half worked out very well for the Jets defense.

This was a tremendous win against their all time dynamic rival, making the win that much sweeter beating Belichump, Brady and the Patriots.
So satisfying how the Jets came alive to secure their huge 1st win of the season.
Jets now can plan on their strategy to handle the Dolphins next week in Miami.
First they'll strut there stuff and enjoy this one for a moment.
Posted on 19 Sep 2010 by Gregg Marc Miller
JETS SET
The New York Jets are set and ready to do business for the 2010 season home opener in their new stadium kicked off by a Giants Victory Sunday.
Now it's Monday Night Football and the Jets face the Ravens in a huge battle.
A definite challenging test for Mark Sanchez and the Jets offense.
This should be quite a battle of the Defenses, but look for Sanchez to use reliable weapons like Cotchery to catch the ball, and LT and S Greene to pound the ball.
Pay no attention to the 2-2 preseason record, or lack of offensive cohesion in those games.
This ends up being the most exciting and anticipated Jets season in team history, with the timing of the new stadium, improved team status and of course HBO Hard Knocks, the built in drama is there especially behind the Revis holdout that held the entire series run. Interesting how that all worked out for the media and HBO?
Good going Jets but now let's see the productivity. And don't worry fans, I didn't expect Ryan and the Jets to show any of their hand on to anyone early in preseason.
Now look for the JETS to get it on for real, as all the hype can now salivate to great proportions.
Good luck Jets. I hope you were worth the build up.

JETS HYPErtension
The 2010 New York Jets have completed 3 of their 4 preseason games for what has been hyped as the greatest team in Jets History since the 69 Championship club.
In Unspectacular fashion the Jets have lost 2 of the 3 games. Most recently Friday against the Washington Redskins 16-11. At least for the Jets Coaching staff when their 1st unit has left the field The Jets have been leading on the scoreboard. There just isn't much to get excited about...so far. And that's really the point here. It doesn't matter, It's preseason! So before everyone starts getting all crazy about the offense not performing consistently or efficiently yet, relax. When game #1 comes on Monday night Sept. 13th against the Ravens, you'll see the Jets offense ready to execute, and the Defense ready to shut down any offense in their path. There will be early kinks, but what you've seen so far is a lot of cautious play with spots of positive eye opening sequences.
There is a great concern about the Jets depth in their 2nd unit players, but special teams looks phenomenal and the kicking game is a whisper and a prayer.
So let's enjoy the ride, and enjoy the hype. It's not often our Jets even get this kind of attention. Sanchez and company will be prepared, and Im excited to get it on for real!
So let's rally behind them Fans.
J E T S all the way!!

JETS DIRECT 2010 DRAFT
The New York Jets had this weekend with the NFL Draft 2010, something that's become a mainstay the last several years. A real excitement and anticipation around the draft, where Jets fans can anticipate something special may happen.
The Jets have been creative, aggressive and determined to fill the necessary needs of the team for the upcoming season.
This has become one of the most highly anticipated, greatest momentum building off seasons ever to look forward to as a Jets fan. Although the old faithful fan is cautiously optimistic, this year there's good reasons to feel that way.
I must say It's nice to have people gloat over your team?
The Jets have worked hard since getting their breaks and working their way into the
AFC Championship game last season. Now their the focus of the HBO show "Hard Knocks" and all the publicity and all the hype is laying right here with Head Coach Rex Ryan. You gotta love the way he brings it though Jets Fans. We're not sure how it's all going to play out, but I surely feel confident in Rex's ability to lead the way.
With many areas to cover and bolster this already Impressive Jets lineup, NY went with Kyle Wilson a stand out Safety from Boise State with their 1st round selection at #29. He's being considered as the guy who will help seal the corners along Phenom All Pro Darrelle Revis.
In the 2nd round the Jets looked to the OT Position to replace the 10 year vet Alan Faneca just released after 2 season in NY. Faneca became expendable when NYJ nabbed small college program but big time player Vlad Ducasse out of U Mass with the 61st pick.
Then things got interesting in the later rounds. With The Jets having lost several draft picks to various teams from previous trades, they stepped up in the 4th round trading up with Carolina to get the #112 pick and take Joe Mcknight running back out of USC, considered a steal at this spot. That made Jet favorite Leon Washington expendable, traded to the Seattle Seahawks for another draft swap helping move up in the 5th round and #139 to take traditional hard nosed full back John Connor from Kentucky.
So now the Jets have completely revamped their backfield. Surprising in the sense that they lead the league last year in this category. Having to let go of Thomas Jones, one of the great Jet leaders of last year was difficult, but then they came up with Ladanian Tomlinson signed as a free agent to replace him. Tomlinson, Richardson, Greene, Mcknight and Connor sounds like a pretty strong unit. They strengthened their receiver corp plucking Santonio Holmes away from Pittsburgh.
Defensive line was addressed bringing in long time Jet rival Jason Taylor, while switching frustrated and disappointing Vernon Gholston to defensive End. Then there's the addition of Cromartie, and Poole. We lost our kicker Feely, but coaches think Nick Folk can do the job.
So there's so many things to watch develop Jets Fans. One thing for sure is we know it's going to be exhilarating to watch it all go down. Enjoy the ride everyone and we'll see how this all comes together later in camp.
Posted on 25 Apr 2010 by Gregg Marc Miller
JETS In the SPOTLIGHT
The New York Jets are all charged up in the off season after acquiring a few misplaced San Diego Chargers, who hope to bring their experience and determination to achieve what they couldn't with their old team... and that's to get to a Super bowl.
Tomlinson and Cromartie should add great depth and balance to their positions.
Then to continue the growth the Jets go out yesterday and Trade for former Super bowl star from the Steelers, Santonio Holmes, giving up only a 5th round draft pick.
The Jets have all of a sudden become the team that will take on any huge project.
Almost like a factory rebuilding robots. (in a robotic voice)
WE ARE THE JETS. WE CAN REHABILITATE YOU. JUST ONE LITTLE PART SHOULD FIX YOU CROMARTIE, EDWARDS, ELLIS, PACE, HOLMES. ANYONE ELSE? A BURRESS MAYBE?
This is surely what it seems like...but hey I'm on board for the ride. Have been on it for 37 years now....so let's go Jets!
Now the Jets can go and have an aggressive draft to fill the rest of their holes.
After that the team will be featured on what 's become my favorite sports show going into the Football season "Hard Knocks" by HBO.
This is a phenomenal way to bring positive exposure to the Jets Organization.
It also comes with a certain amount of pressure, and responsibility to live up to, after all is exposed, the Jets will need to come through for their loyal fans and not get swept up in the limelight of it.
I think the Jets players and coaches will be just fine.
In Rex we trust to draft right, and put themselves in a position for big time, never before seen success since 69 Jets.
Let's see the growth and maturity continue to develop in the off season, and lead powerfully into the fort of Hard Knocks, J E T S Style!
Posted on 30 Mar 2010 by Gregg Marc Miller
Jets New Back
The New York Jets made another aggressive off season move adding Ex NFL MVP
running Back Ladainian Tomlinson, who was recently cut by the Chargers.
Tomlinson can cap off a hall of fame career if he comes to NY, and performs well in their new stadium. Or will he be the washed up vet trying to hang on a couple more years?
I think Tomlinson still has something in the tank. He came on strong late last year after getting healthy, and helped put San Diego in the winning position they enjoyed....until the Jets knocked their block off!
Rex had trimmed some weight off the roster, as well as his body. Answering the call
for his team made this a good move for The Jets in replacing Thomas Jones.
Ladainian is a leader in the locker room, and should fill that void vacated by Jones.
Keep it going Rex and Tannebaum to Improve the Jets status going into next season.
Posted on 14 Mar 2010 by Gregg Marc Miller
Ryan's Hope
Update:
Jets Trade Kerry Rhodes to Arizona for 4th & 7th round draft picks.
we'll just believe and keep saying...In Rex we trust!

Rex Ryan and the New York Jets have had some key decisions to make over the past week.
Letting go of their outstanding leader, on and off the field, Thomas Jones was a salary crunch move. Jets feel with leon Washington due to return from his broken leg injury, and the emergence of RB Shonn Greene, they could get by without Jones, who would have cost the Jets close to $6 million if they kept him this year.
To continue his aggressive pursuit of the perfect defense, the Jets made a move today adding a stopper at the other end of Revis Island, by acquiring Antonio Cromartie from the Chargers for only a 3rd round draft pick.
Cromartie is a stud on D', but his off the field actions are big in question.
Can he handle the big city pressure?
I f he can, then the Jets have scored a great deal here. The coaches now have another troubled kid to watch along with offensive side of Braylon Edwards.
If these guys can perform, then the Jets will reap the benefits of the players past mistakes.
Posted on 05 Mar 2010 by Gregg Marc Miller
Jets Rest
The New York Jets finished the 2009 season on a very high note.
For what had been an up and down year, when the opportunity presented itself, the Jets took advantage.
They made it all the way to the AFC Championship game, leading the Indy Colts at half-time, only to be outsmarted by Peyton Manning in the 2nd half to eventually lose the game.
But the Jets have a lot to be confidant about for next season. A lot of the key components are in place for success. And it comes in 3's.... starting with QB Mark Sanchez, followed by Head Coach Rex Ryan, and adding the new RB, pushed early into service after the loss of Leon Washington, Rookie Shonn Greene.
This coupled with the strong Defense, that missed it's center piece Kris Jenkins for most of the year. They should come back even stronger with him, and for the offense getting Washington back will be a plus.
So there's a lot to look forward to this summer as the Jets look to Build from here with the draft, to the start of mini camp, and then maybe reaching that ultimate goal next season....obviously to get to the Super Bowl.
