Raiders Are No Match For The Jets

Curtis Martin stood in street clothes on the sideline and watched as the Jets got their first win in seven games. It has been a really tough season for the Jets but beating the Raiders 26-10 was a highlight. Bollinger had a good game with 119 yards passing and one touchdown. Rookie Cedric Houston ran for 74 yards and one touchdown. Mike Nugent kicked four field goals throughout the game, the longest being from 35 yards back. The Green & White had a great day pressuring the quarterback as they totaled six sacks: John Abraham (2), Mark Brown, Lance Legree, James "Tank" Reed, & Bryan Thomas. Ty Law picked off his sixth pass of the season in the second quarter. The Jets head to Dolphin Stadium next week for a 1 pm. game that will air on CBS. Check out this link for the week 15 game release. With a record of 3-10 the Jets are still in the hunt for Reggie Bush.

The Jets Are Getting Good At Kicking Field Goals!

Mike Nugent has seen a lot of plays his first season at the Jets kicker. Since New York is scared of getting over the actual goal line, Herm calls on Mike to finish the job. The Jets lost another game, seven in a row, 16-3 against the New England Patriots. Gillette Stadium played host to the Gang Green with a 4:15 kickoff time. Curtis Martin rushed for only 29 yards not to be outdone by Bollinger who threw for 135 yards and one interception. The game was played in cold weather as the Jets scored in the second quarter with a 38-yard field goal. Reggie Bush is now on the Jets radar with only four games left. The remaining schedule is as follows so stay tuned for the Reggie Bush hunt.

14,000 Yards for Curtis Martin

Sunday nights game was close one. The New York Jets took on the New Orleans Saints in a battle on ESPN. Midway through the first quarter, Curtis Martin became just the fourth-player in NFL history to rush for 14,000 yards, joining Emmitt Smith (18,355), Walter Payton (16,726) & Barry Sanders (15,269). Martin reached the mark with a great run, sprinting for a 23-yard gain. Unfortunately the New York Jets lost this one 21-19 but played very well. The season has been over for the Jets after week 4 but now we have new hope. It comes in the form of Reggie Bush. The USC running back will most likely be the NFL's top draft pick and if the Jets keep losing, we might get a shot at picking up the leading rusher for the NCAA.

Broncos Shutout the Jets at Mile High!

The Jets traveled to Denver Sunday for the first time since the 1998 AFC Championship Game (Jan. 17, 1999), a game the Broncos captured 23-10 en route to their Super Bowl championship that season. Head coach Herman Edwards has posted a 37-37 record as head coach of the Jets since taking over in 2001. Third-year QB Brooks Bollinger, who completed four of five passes for 26 yards, made his third career start for the Green & White. He left the game in the second quarter with a head injury and did not return.

When the Jets returned to the field, veteran QB Vinny Testaverde (15-25-152-2INT) took over offensive command in place of the injured Bollinger. Besides losing this game by 27 points, the stat that stood out in my mind was Curtis Martin running for 7 yards on 4 attempts. Even if we had Peyton Manning on the Jets, 7 yards rushing will not win games. The Jets played without the intensity they have shown in the past and I am looking forward to a top five draft pick come next season. Despite all the disappointing games this season I am still keeping up-to-date with my favorite sports team and if you want to, check this out!

The Jets Need Help!!!

Heading in week 10, the New York Jets showed they can play with the best after a close one with San Diego. Now it is safe to say, any win from now to the end of the season will be a surprise. The 30-3 score against the Panthers backs this up. So does a missing Wayne Chrebet, Kevin Mawae, Chad Pennington, and Eric Barton just to name a few. Injuries have plagued the Jets this season and it shows. Herm Edwards in my opinion is not to blame but something needs to be done. Maybe it's tightening up our running game or finding a QB with enough athleticism to run out of the pocket and make an accurate throw. I don't have it in me to write about the game so if you want all the stats you can click HERE! Be ready for the Broncos next week because that will prove to be an even harder game for the Jets in my opinion.

Jets Make It A Close One Against The Chargers

Herm and the Gang rumbled into the Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon after a weeks worth of rest. Refreshed from a week without playing a game, they looked to win against the San Diego Chargers and came so close. I don't think the Jets played to their potential but definitely showed that no team has an easy game against them. Brooks Bollinger went 11/20 and 106 yards with 2 TD passes. No too bad for a QB who hasn't played too many downs as a professional football player. The 3rd/4th string quarterback lead the Jets to within 4 points of the Chargers until time ran down and the Jets became 2-6 for the season. Every week I check the power rankings on ESPN.com and the Jets keep dropping. If you read the weekly ranks and feel depressed, your not the only one! I'm out for now but keep in check for new updates.

Jets Hope To Recover During Bye Week

Under Coach Herman Edwards the New York Jets are now 2-5 heading towards their week 8 bye. As a team, the Jets need to reevaluate their offensive strategy and use the weapons they have left. Curtis Martin is having a disappointing season but who came blame the running game when opponents know the Jets have lost two quarterbacks and no longer throw the ball deep. Hopefully we can count on the Jets to rebound after a weeks rest and come back with some intensity and desire to win. Check out this link to find some Jets tickets that may possibly be lowering in price. Click HERE. The gang green will perservere!

The Falcons Drive Past Jets in a Monday Night Matchup

It is very hard to win a football game when your quarterback fumbles the ball three times in the first half. Those fumbles led to 17 points for the Atlanta Falcons. The Jets lost 27-14 and dropped to 0-4 on the road throughout the season. Vinny Testaverde left the game late in the third quarter with a right achilles' injury. Brooks Bollinger took over for Testaverde and threw 12/20 passes for 94 yards. The Jets looked pretty bad but if you take away those three fumbles and the points that resulted from them, the Jets had some decent drives towards the endzone. Curtis Martin had little help from his offensive line and carried the ball 14 times for 28 yards and one touchdown. I am tired of watching the Jets turn over the ball this season and it is time for Herman Edwards to look for a more substantial quarterback to lead the Jets.

Jets Change Lineup to Make Up for Loss

New York Jets head coach Herm Edwards announced Wednesday that 10-year veteran offensive lineman Pete Kendall would move from his familiar left guard spot to center. This results from losing ProBowl center Kevin Mawae who is out for the season with a torn tricep. Jonathan Goodwin, the Jets’ fifth-round selection in the 2002 NFL Draft, would fill Kendall’s vacated guard spot. The New York Jets will show this new lineup to the Alanta Falcons next week.

As for other injuries the Jets have this season:

Cornerback Ty Law is questionable with lower back spasms, and backup safety Oliver Celestin is questionable with a left knee injury. There was one bit of good news: linebacker Eric Barton should play after missing the last three games with a sprained ankle.

You may have noticed how many players on this team and other teams are getting injured this season. As the players get stronger and faster with every consecutive year the injuries add up and become more frequent. It is something that every team has to deal. A coaches true talent is shown when they most overcome this and inspire their players to win. To see who is injured on your team Click here. Keep on blogging!

The Jets Fall to Bills 27-17

The New York Jets dropped to 2-4 Sunday afternoon after being outplayed by the Buffalo Bills, which is their fifth straight road game loss dating back to last season. Curtis Martin led New York with a season-high 148 yards rushing and caught two passes for 3 yards, becoming the seventh player to gain 17,000 yards from scrimmage with a 41-yard run in the third quarter.

The Jets had difficulty containing a Bills offense that finished with a season-high 341 yards. "We couldn't find a way to eliminate the running game," linebacker Jonathan Vilma said according to ESPN.COM. The Jets also lost their ProBowl center Kevin Mawae to a torn left tricept. The Jets will look to rebound next week on Monday Night Football against the Falcons. Look here for the Jets/Falcons game release and more.

Vinny is Back

The New York Jets steal a win from the undefeated Tampa Bay Buccaners on Sunday in the Meadowlands. Newly acquired and long time ex-Jet, Vinny Testaverde led his offense on drives that resulted in 2 Curtis Martin rushing touchdowns.

Testaverde who is veteran for the Jets recharged their lacking offense and put some numbers on the board to beat the Bucs 14-12. The Gang Green defense looked phenomenal and held the Bucs to 84 yards rushing and an interception. The Jets are now 2-3, hoping to rebound their season as they head to Buffalo to play an important divisional game. For a ver inciteful preview of next weeks game Click Here and upload the Adobe file.

Jets Continuing Their Rough Start

The Jets fell to 1-3 after losing to the Ravens on Sunday at M & T Stadium. Chad Pennington and backup QB Jay Fielder watched from the sideline after both of them tore their rotator cuffs last week. The Jets turned to 3rd string quarterback, Brooks Bollinger to carry them into Week 4 against a very tough and physical Ravens defense. Bollinger threw for 149 yards on 14/28 attempts while being sacked five times. Curtis Martin was held to a total of 30 yards on 13 carries. Newly signed backup QB Vinny Testaverde also watched from the sideline and has been working with the Jets to get back in shape and learn the new offense Mike Heimerdinger has planned for the 2005-06 season. The Jets will take on the undefeated Tampa Bay Bucs at the Meadowlands on Sunday, October 9th. Look here for a preview of next weeks game soon!

The Jets lose a tough one in Overtime!

Chad Pennington reinjured his right shoulder during a sack on Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now the Jets (1-2) will also have to deal with a banged up Curtis Martin who rushed for 67 yards on 18 carries. Under their new offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger the Jets worked on producing a much longer passing game during summer camp. This will be tough to accomplish with Chad Pennington nursing a sore shoulder as well as backup QB Jay Fielder who also bruised his shoulder during the game as well. The Jets retaliated in the 4th quarter to tie the game at 20-20 and send it into OT on the last drive. The Jags were wearing down the Jets defense all game and finally won on a 36 yard slant-n-go pass to Jimmy Smith 6:05 into OT.

Season Opener Results

The New York Jets vs. Kansas City Chiefs season opener didn't go as planned for Herman Edwards, the Jets head coach. The Jets lost 27-7 with a defensive that looked slow and an offense that looked out of sync. The Jets turned over the ball three times on six fumbles. Curtis Martin ran the ball 20 times for only 57 yards. Chris Baker the Jets tight end had their only score off a pass from backup QB, Jay Fielder. Look here for a Jets preview against next weeks game against the Miami Dolphins.
