TEAMS: New York Jets, Chicago Bears
The New York Jets, just over half-way through their season, stand at 5 wins and 4 losses. They are just one game behind their division rivals from New England and, on the face of things, it would appear that they are well-positioned to remain a factor in the playoff picture as the season progresses.
Appearances, though, can be oh so deceiving.
The gulf between New England and New York in the standings, at just one game, would seem to be a sum that any team could make up. The Jets, of course, could very well rebound from this past week’s drubbing at the hands of the Patriots and make things uncomfortable for their rivals, and the Patriots could implode and hand the division over to the Jets.
Jets’ fans, with a long history of disappointments to reflect on, know that while anything is possible, especially from this current, Sybilesque team, some things are simply not all that probable.

The Hate For Mark Sanchez Runneth Over

A Vent On The New York Jets Offense
Let’s start with something comforting
Despite a recent rough patch of games, Mark Sanchez still is on the exact same pace that Eli Manning was on to start his career and we see how Eli has turned out. Sanchez is not without blame, he is inconsistent, inaccurate and gets jittery in the pocket.
However, I am still of the belief that he has the physical tools and leadership abilities...

Sanchez/Tebow: Two Unconventional Winners Share Scrutiny
For Mark Sanchez, two AFC championship games in his first two years as a pro hasn’t been enough to silence his doubters. Tim Tebow took over a 1-4 Broncos team that is now 4-5 under his leadership. Instead of admiring Denver’s re-entry back into the AFC West race since Tebow got behind center, detractors question his ability to throw the football. When the Jets and Broncos take...

Typical Jets Fan
You know the deal on Jets fans: they are crazy, emotional, idiots, pessimistic, and cry babies. Well this kid hits em all and his mom, who is filming him crying after the Jets lost a big game (SHOCKER), should be hung just for allowing her son to be a Jets fan. Keep crying you little softy, at least you show more emotion with this team than Mark Sanchez. Hey maybe start throwing...
Season on the Brink
Well I can’t say I didn’t see this coming, a short week after a deflating Sunday night loss where there were a few key injuries incurred but I’m not going to make this an “I told you so” type of post because those are unproductive and douchey (doo-shee).
