Game Recap
Jets Fall to Bills 28-9, Finish Season 6-10
The Jets season finale was about as good as the rest of their season, as they lost in Buffalo for the first time in four seasons, 28-9. Mark Sanchez returned as the starting quarterback, since Greg McElroy had a concussion. It was like Sanchez was never gone, really, and he’d made no great improvements. He… Read more
Jets Fall to Titans 14-10; Playoffs Officially Out of Reach
In case you missed it, the Jets 2012 already slim playoff hopes were crushed Monday night when they lost 14-10 to the Tennessee Titans on national television. Where to begin? Well, there were all the usual culprits. The defense made a mistake that let Chris Johnson run for a 94 yard touchdown, and Kyle Wilson… Read more
Jets Top Jaguars, 17-10
The Jets won their second game in a row today for the first time this season, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 17-10. The first half was sloppy play after sloppy play, and the offense was its usual mess. The defense played well, and Bart Scott intercepted Jags’ QB Chad Henne in the red zone for his… Read more
Jets Top Cardinals; 7-6
The NFL doesn’t grade on style points, there is no such column in the standings. That is a good thing for the Jets because the victory over the Arizona Cardinals was not pretty. Mark Sanchez struggled early and often before being benched in favor of Greg McElroy. Sanchez had a horrific day and was 10/21… Read more
Jets Ruin Thanksgiving, Lose to Patriots 49-19
The Jets lost their entire Thanksgiving game to the Patriots in the most disastrous 52 seconds in the history of football. It sounds like something you’d read in The Onion, but it’s not. It really happened. Why the Jets always seem to be the victims of the most embarrassing football thing remains a mystery, but… Read more
Jets Run Over Rams, 27-13
The Jets got a much needed win this week, beating up on the St. Louis Rams, 27-13. The score probably should have been higher, but the offense was completely inept through the first quarter. Nick Folk had a field goal blocked and missed his first field goal of the season. The win improves the Jets… Read more
Seahawks Dismantle Jets, 28-7
Playing in what was probably their ninth “must win” game in a row, the defense came to play, and the offense failed to show up. The Jets lost in Seattle to the Seahawks today, 28-7. This time, it looks like the Jets are done for good. Mark Sanchez is looking more and more like a… Read more
Dolphins Squish Jets, 30-9
The Jets had their usual Patriots hangover game, getting crushed by Miami 30-9. It was a disaster. The game felt like a loss the minute the special teams let a punt get blocked and recovered for a Miami touchdown. There was nothing good to take away from this game and it was about as much… Read more
Jets Lose Heartbreaker in New England, 29-26
The Jets lost an overtime heartbreaker to the New England Patriots 29-26 in Foxborough today, falling to 2-1 in division play and 3-4 overall. This was a team loss like Jets fans can’t believe. After the defense stopped the Patriots opening drive, and the Jets offense came out and scored a touchdown, the special teams… Read more
Jets Hang Tough But Lose to Texans, 23-17
Finally! A Jets game fans can be proud of, even if they lost to the Houston Texans 23-17 and it’s from the “moral victory” perspective! Yes, it’s a glass half full view, but the Jets did show a lot of spirit. Even though they were knocked in the mouth repeatedly, they got up and stayed… Read more
49ers Shutout Jets, 34-0
It isn’t frequently that an NFL team gets shut out, but the Jets pulled it off this week, losing 34-0 to the San Francisco 49ers. The Jets defense wasn’t great – they didn’t do well stopping the run – but the defense was helpless to counterbalance the completely inept offense. When the offense wasn’t going… Read more
Jets Squish Fish, 23-20 in OT
As ugly as the game against Pittsburgh was last week, this one against the Dolphins was worse. The only redeeming quality was that the Jets walked away with the win in overtime, 23-20. The offense was completely inept through most of the game. The receivers and tight ends had drops and miscues. The running game… Read more
