After a very average season of regular season picks against the spread, I am ready to impart my wisdom on the wild-card round of the playoffs. If you have said before the season that I’d be settling in this weekend to watch T.J. Yates, Andy Dalton, and Tim Tebow play, I would have said you were as crazy as Rex Ryan when he decided to name Santonio Holmes captain. Oh well. Final Regular Season Record: 124-120-5 Houston (-3) vs. Cincinnati – This should be an evenly matched, fairly low-scoring game. I do think the Houston running game will control the clock and Arian Foster or Ben Tate will break a big run at some point that will prove to be difference. Cincinnati made it into the playoffs without ever posting a truly impressive win, I do think this will be tight into the fourth quarter but they won’t be able to make the big play late to win this game. Detroit (+10.5) vs. New Orleans – I do think New Orleans will ultimately win this game but it will be closer t...

Doesn't take rookie QB to see Rex is done

Via Fox Sports  |  January 06, 2012
In the end, it was all done by plan. Rex Ryan's plan. Rex Ryan's goal. Rex Ryan's dream. He built this, and it worked perfectly: New York is now a Jets town. Sure, the Giants are in the playoffs, but what is everyone talking about? Ryan admitting he lost control as coach. Santonio Holmes melting down. Bart Scott being fined $10,000 for a raised middle finger. What else...

Santonio Holmes is an Imbecile, and the New York Jets’ 2011 Postmortem

Via The Big Lead  |  January 04, 2012
A few positives: Aaron Maybin, two rookies, and Joe McKnight on kick returns. But Sanchez had a bad year, and Rex Ryan did a poor job massaging egos. Ultimately, this will be a good step backward.

Report: New York Jets Expected to Fire Quarterbacks Coach Matt Cavanaugh

Via Rant Sports  |  January 07, 2012
The New York Jets are expected to make changes this offseason after a shaky season that resulted in their first year out of the postseason under third-year head coach Rex Ryan. While offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer’s future with the team is still up in the air for now, another offensive coach appears to be on the chopping block. Quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh...

Are the New York Jets Victims of Overconfidence?

Via Player Perspective  |  January 04, 2012
Even the princely Darrelle Revis lost his cool at times this season. I’ve never hidden my feelings about New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan. I think he’s too chatty. Much of his blustering is more agitating than entertaining. His preening in front of the press lacks the authentic eccentricity of his father, the great Buddy Ryan. It’s almost as if uses every opportunity to prove...

Fair or Foul: Did New York Jets’ Greg McElroy Go Too Far in His Criticism of the Jets Locker Room?

Via Rant Sports  |  January 05, 2012
In the fallout of a disappointing 8-8 season, the New York Jets have been scrambling to do damage control after pointed comments about poor team chemistry and a divided locker room have leaked to the public. It is part of the culture that head coach Rex Ryan has cultivated, a policy that encourages players to speak their mind and be honest with the media, but evidently that can sometimes...

New York Jets Have Become Most Dysfunctional NFL Franchise

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  January 06, 2012
In a league that includes the Cincinnati Bengals, Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys, the New York Jets have found a way to become the most dysfunctional NFL franchise. My sincerest congratulations to Mike Tannenbaum, Rex Ryan, Mark Sanchez, Santonio Holmes, Bart Scott and countless others. The blame really deserves to go around when it comes to the dysfunctional Jets. While Ryan...
