By Tom Kiss The 2007 season has been a major disappointment for the New York Jets, as they have limped to a 3-10 record while looking lost on both sides of the ball.  Conversely, everyone knows what kind of year the 13-0 Patriots are having.  The Patriots have looked like a well-oiled machine this year… Read more

By Tom Kiss It’s the battle of the small-town Oregon boys this week as the Jets and Kellen Clemens take on the surprising 7-5 Cleveland Browns led by equally surprising quarterback Derek Anderson.  Anderson, drafted by the Ravens in the 6th round in 2005, got his first start this year in week two against the… Read more

By Tom Kiss On Thanksgiving Day it actually looked like the Dallas Cowboys played 53 green and white turkeys on route to a 34-3 romping in big D. The Jet offense looked as putrid as ever and the defense was on the field for just under 38 minutes. This was by far the worst performance… Read more

By Tom Kiss Thanksgiving is upon us and the Jets have two wins. This is not exactly what Jet fans were expecting coming into the season. Last week, the Jets played the kind of game that many people expected them to play. They looked more like the 2006 playoff team than a 1-8 disaster. The… Read more

By Tom Kiss In 2006 the New York Jets headed into the bye week following a devastating loss to the Cleveland Browns.  Following the bye, the Jets defense played very well, giving up only 12.75 points per game.  The Jets will hope for a similar turnaround this season, though no playoff berth is possible at… Read more

By Tom Kiss Last week saw the end of an era for the New York Jets.  Chad Pennington may have very well started his final game at quarterback for gang green.  Kellen Clemens is now set to take over.  The question remains, what does Kellen Clemens really bring to the table?  He has looked very… Read more

By Tom Kiss After last weeks devastating second half collapse against the Cincinnati Bengals, Eric Mangini looked like a man at the end of his rope.  Well, at least when you compare his normal neutral demeanor to his mildly angry press conference.  It also seemed as though Chad Pennington’s days as the Jets starting quarterback… Read more

By Tom Kiss After last weeks 16-9 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Jets offense has scored exactly 3 touchdowns in its last 12 quarters.  That is as bad an offense as you will see.  At 1-5, the Jets could easily be 5-1 but the team has let every opportunity to win games… Read more

By Tom Kiss The year was 2002 and second year head coach Herman Edwards (thank you Carl Peterson) was in charge of a team that was 1-3, coming off a 10-6 playoff season.  Edwards decided to remove a veteran starter, Vinny Testaverde, for an untested third year quarterback, Chad Pennington.  The Jets went on to… Read more

By Tom Kiss Last week, in Buffalo, the New York Jets lost an opportunity to reach .500.  By letting a banged up Bills team with a rookie quarterback beat them, the Jets fell to 1 and 3.  Last week was a game that the Jets should have won since they are simply the better team. … Read more

By Tom Kiss Last week against the Miami Dolphins, the Jets picked up their first sack, turnover, 100-yard rushing performance from Thomas Jones, and most importantly, their first win.  Despite the good feeling when the Jets took a 31-13 lead, the Jet defense went into some sort of comatose, allowing Ronnie Brown to continue to… Read more
