Week 12 Record: 1-1-1
Season Record: 13-21-2
Let’s go back, briefly, to my pick from last week’s Falcons/Buccaneers game. I’ll just copy and paste it verbatim because it’s glorious:
“Falcons -1 at Buccaneers: I think the Falcons win this game, and to me, if they win it they’re going to cover a one point spread.
/Watches in dismay as the Falcons win by 1″
Just in case you guys forgot, the Falcons won 24-23. YAY.
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen me respond to Chris Gross’ excellent, well-thought out and researched piece defending Rex Ryan by naming him the Captain of Team Pro Rex, while countering and calling myself the Captain of Team Anti Rex. I’ll use this space to state my case as to why I’m just not a big Ryan fan, even though I’m like most Jets fans and fell in love with the guy in 2009.
Chris used mainly numbers to justify that Ryan is coaching a collection of players that simply aren’t good enough, or at least very much below the average of their opponents at basica

Rex won't give up on Top-5 Defense
JETS HEAD COACH 'STUNNED' BY DISMAL PASS RUSH PERFORMANCE BY DEFENSE. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Rex Ryan was confident in training camp that he was the best defensive coordinator in the game. Not only that, but he beat his chest while defiantly announcing his 2012 defensive unit as the 'best group he's coached' since becoming a head coach.After the New England Patriots...
Jets' defense underwhelming, far from dominant
Rex Ryan expected this to be perhaps the best defense he has had since becoming coach of the New York Jets four years ago.
Instead, it has been a major disappointment and hardly the big, bad bunch the coach sold it as.
Although New York ranks 19th in overall defense, Ryan still won't concede that the Jets will finish worse than fifth. He realizes, though, that his group has...
New York Jets must get Alex Smith
The flash in the NFL pan that’s been the Rex Ryan-era New York Jets was finally doused Thanksgiving night thanks to the New England Patriots. Losing to the dominant division foe from up north is one thing, but losing like the way the J-E-T-S Jets-Jets-Jets did is flat-out embarrassing. The fallout has been spectacular. Fan number one Fireman Ed has resigned, the boos have been...
Jets' Ryan speaks to LB Scott about fan comments
A day after Bart Scott called out heckling fans, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan told the linebacker to remember to ''appreciate'' them and that they ''deserve better'' than how the team has played.
Scott says Thursday that he understands that fans pay ''good money'' to come to NFL games, and can say what they want because it's &...
Rex Ryan Leads List of NFL Coaches on Hot Seat As Season Winds Down
While none of the NFL coaches who have been on the hot seat since early October have been fired yet, the day is likely coming soon.
Look for Week 13 NFL specials at Bovada on the futures of a few of those coaches on the chopping block.
Among the coaches who will likely see their tenures end on “Black Monday,” the day after the regular season ends, there is no bigger name than...

Cardinals FS Kerry Rhodes Refuses To Get Into War Of Words With Rex Ryan
In his 2011 book, Rex Ryan had some unkind things to write about former safety Kerry Rhodes. Ryan referred to Rhodes as a "selfish-ass" player and a "Hollywood type." Rhodes, now with the Arizona Cardinals, will not be making a rebuttal this week.
The Cardinals' safety is keeping quiet and letting the past stay there. Im not going to go that route,...
PREVIEW: NY JETS (4-7) vs. AZ CARDINALS (4-7)
The New York Jets host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in a game where both teams are surprised about where they stand at this point in the season."We feel we're a better football team than our record indicates, and I'm sure they do as well," said Rex Ryan on Wednesday. "They should feel that way. Both teams are hungry for a win, and I think there probably...
Rex: Tebow could be out vs. Cards
Rex Ryan says the New York Jets are ''looking into'' Tim Tebow's availability and he could be inactive for the team's game Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals because of two broken ribs that have limited the backup quarterback the last few weeks.
Ryan says Friday that the team has not made a final decision to not play him -- contrary to an ESPN report.

New York Jets Week 13 – Early Thoughts On Jets/Cardinals
A collection of early thoughts on the New York Jets week 13 match-up against the Arizona Cardinals, where the over/under shouldn’t be higher than 10 points.
1. This has the potential to be an epically awful offensive football game. Rex Ryan’s defenses generally perform very well against rookies and inexperienced quarterbacks. Remember what they did to Andrew Luck earlier in...

New York Jets quarterback coach Matt Cavanaugh believes Mark Sanchez is improving and thinks Sanchez's mistakes are only highlighted because of the Jets record.

Week 13 AFC East game picks: Cardinals at Jets
Lead writer Nick St. Denis and AFC East Daily contributors Dan Begnoche and Sean Donovan pick the New York Jets' home bout with the NFC's Arizona Cardinals. Nick's take: The Jets stink as of late, but there are worse teams. The Cardinals are one of them. Arizona is down to its third-string quarterback, a rookie sixth-rounder named Ryan Lindley, and his four-interception...

New York Jets – Where Is The Pass Rush?
Among the phrases I most frequently utter during a New York Jets game, “We really need a sack right here. When is the last time we got a sack?” is high up on the list. It isn’t just the 2012 version of the Jets who are awful at getting after the quarterback, it has been a recurring trend on the Jets over nearly the past decade.
