So the New York Jets have hit the half-way point in the 2017 season with a record of 3-5, having lost three consecutive games by blowing leads in the fourth quarter.

Improved Darron Lee Starting to get Noticed
Former first-round draft pick Darron Lee has endured his share of criticism since being drafted by GM Mike Maccagnan two years ago out of Ohio State University, with much of the criticism being justified. Undersized in the eyes of many for an NFL inside linebacker at roughly 230 pounds, Lee struggled for much of last… Read more
A Look at Some Possible Deadline Deals for Gang Green
By starting off the season with a surprising 3-4 record, the New York Jets may have complicated matters for General Manager Mike Maccagnan if he’d had any thoughts of adding a few draft picks via trade before the Oct. 31st trade deadline. Moving any key players while technically in the playoff hunt is a tough… Read more

An Assist for “Baldy” as Wilk Wakes up?
Up until this Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson had spent much of the previous 20+ games in cruise control. Losing one-on-one battles and stat lines that included far to many zeros had become the norm. Challenging Wilkerson publicly may have been one route to light a fire under him… Read more
JetNation Tuesday Tidbits: When Will McCown be Bench-Bound?
A few notes, random thoughts and links related to the current state of Gang Green. Josh McCown produced 28 points in the Jets’ 31-28 loss to the Miami Dolphins, placing them 20th in the NFL in points per game at 19.6. It’s far from the greatest show on turf, but it’s also 10 or 11… Read more
New York Jets Report Card: Week 7
Week 7 Report Card: Jets @ Dolphins L 31-28 Quarterback: C Josh McCown: 17/27 209 yards, 3 TDs 1 INT, 3 rushes for 1 yard For three quarters Josh McCown played a perfect game. Then for some reason once Jay Cutler was injured and replaced by Matt Moore, the whole team fell apart… Read more
Short Term Pain, Long Term Gain
With the team committing to a rebuild, the “sting” of losses has been removed. If yesterday’s collapse happened in previous years I would be fuming. But this team needs a long term answer at QB and every loss (even though I don’t root for them) improves our draft position. Lost in the wreckage of the MIA game is some… Read more
Jets Taking Unnecessary Risk in Playing Wilkerson
Unless he’s suffering from a far more serious injury that the shoulder sprain Jets fans have been made aware of, it’s safe to say Muhammad Wilkerson doesn’t like playing football anymore. It’s not even debatable at this point. Moments after Wilkerson’s unbelievable lack of effort was discussed at length on JetNation radio, former NFL offensive… Read more
Bringing up the Rear; Jets Defense Earns PFF’s Lowest Grade
It’s not something you’d expect to see from a team that has spent almost all of their first round draft capital on defensive players for the past decade with a “defensive genius” for a head coach, but the results are what they are. Pro Football Focus, a web site tasked with watching and grading the… Read more
NY Jets Podcast: Jets Lose to Patriots in Questionable Fashion
On this week’s episode of JetNation Radio, Joe and Glenn have a TON to talk about. The Jets showed positive and negative signs vs the Patriots and there were some very questionable calls from the refs that aided Patriots. Were the refs fair and Jet fans just being biased or were the refs really that bad? We will discuss these… Read more
Game Observations (NE)
There are no “moral victories” in sports you either win or lose. So even though the Jets put up a good fight their inability to take advantage of opportunities led to a frustrating 24-17 loss. An offensive “brown out” and an unbelievable TD reversal that left me speechless were just some of the key plays, let’s take a… Read more
