Lead writer Nick St. Denis and AFC East Daily contributors Dan Begnoche and Sean Donovan pick the New York Jets' inter-conference road battle with the Seattle Seahawks.Nick's take:In Seattle, the 12th man isn't a cliché. It's a fact. The Jets travel to the top-left corner of the country to take on a Seahawks team that is 4-0 at home. Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson plays like a first-year signal-caller on the road, but he's anything but at CenturyLink Field, where he has yet to throw an interception and has amassed nine touchdowns. Antonio Cromartie will grab Wilson's first Seattle-based pick, but it won't be enough.Prediction: Seahawks 17, Jets 14Sean's take:The Jets are nothing if not optimistic when it comes to their playoff chances this season. After getting two weeks to think about it's trouncing at the hands of the Dolphins, New York kicks off the second half of their year with one of the league's toughest road challenges. The ...

Wilson throws 2 TDs in 'Hawks win

Russell Wilson threw touchdowns of 38 yards to Golden Tate and 31 yards to Sidney Rice, and the Seattle Seahawks sent the New York Jets to their worst start since 2007 with a 28-7 win on Sunday. Wilson was harried for much of the day by the multiple looks from the Jets' defense. But the Seattle rookie responded with key throws, hitting Tate on the opening drive, then connecting...

“Punting Canadian” – Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan in the spotlight

Seahawks All Access I started this after the “Canada Day” Seattle Seahawks game but never got around to finishing it, all I managed to accomplish was the title.  The reason why I chose Jon Ryan to be the subject of this piece was two fold. First, he’s Canadian so he seemed to be the perfect subject following Canada Day at CenturyLink and second, he became this first punter...

Jets' Mike Westhoff is a frustrated man

The New Yorks Jets highly regarded special teams coach Mike Westhoff couldn't believe what he was seeing from his unit two weeks ago against the Miami Dolphins. A punt blocked for a touchdown, a blocked a field goal, an onside kick recovered by Miami, and a slew of good returns. When asked about the special teams unit having bad games like that, "You can never sugarcoat...

Touchdown Seahawks! Golden Tate shows what the Vikes are missing

Give It To John Moffitt! That was my first thought when Golden Tate lost the ball at the goal line and big John Moffitt piled on it.  But unfortunately, Golden Tate did in fact cross the line, taking away what likely could’ve been Moffitt’s one-and-only career touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks. Despite an amazing catch radius from Sidney Rice, and some Beast Mode-ing from...

What I’m watching for Sunday in the Jets vs. Seahawks match up

Jets, Seahawks Matchup Closer then Records Would Suggest You’ve heard all about the Jets, they are consistently the lead story on Sports Center every night and have one of the most infamous backup quarterbacks in NFL history and perhaps one of the most outspoken head coaches in sports. Things have not gone their way this year. They have lost their best defensive player Derrelle...

Antonio Cromartie supports Mark Sanchez as Jets QB, tells critics to kiss his butt

The debate still rages. No not the one for the White House, that one actually had a date where a decision was made. The New York Jets continue the saga of the quarterback position on a weekly basis. Now 3-6 the Jets season is in complete shambles yet players and coaches still rally around Mark Sanchez as the teams quarterback. Antonio Cromartie was the latest to lash out at those...

Seahawks Starting LB K.J. Wright, OG James Carpenter Ruled Out With Concussions

Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright and guard James Carpenter have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Wright and Carpenter both missed practice all week due to concussions. Mike Morgan will make his first NFL start in place of Wright, while John Moffitt will start at left guard in place of Carpenter. Defensive end Greg Scruggs is doubtful with an oblique...

Rex Ryan Stands Behind Jets QB Mark Sanchez After Latest Loss

The New York Jets' 28-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday illustrated all the problems that have sent this team disappearing into the darkness. As always, the focus is on Mark Sanchez, who was dreadful again. On his 26th birthday, the fourth-year quarterback completed just nine of 22 passes for 124 yards. It's the fourth time in nine games Sanchez has thrown for less...

Jets Donate $500,000 To Hurricane Relief

The New York Jets posted on the team website that the club has donated a half million dollars to the relief fund for Hurricane Sandy. The charitable donation will be divided among three organizations - The Mayor's Fund for NYC Hurricane Relief, the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, and the Nassau and Suffolk County branches of the Salvation Army. “Our hearts go out...

Week 10 – New York Jets vs Seattle Seahawks

Oi vey… my first column that has to do with the circus that is the J-E-T-S  JETS! JETS! JETS! The (3-5) Jets head west to take on the 12th Man and the (5-4) Seattle Seahawks. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie went on air this week guaranteeing that the Jets will make the playoffs. Although the AFC is the weaker of the 2 conferences, and I do see a 9-7 team making the playoffs,  the...

Jets LB Aaron Maybin, RB Joe McKnight Inactive For Week 10

The Jets left struggling pass rusher Aaron Maybin inactive for today's game and replaced him on the game day roster with linebacker Ricky Sapp. Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine hinted toward the move on Thursday when he said the recently-promoted Sapp had essentially the same role as Maybin. On the plus side for the Jets linebacking corps, Bart Scott (toe) will be active...

Seahawks WR, Sidney Rice takes shot at Tim Tebow

Seattle Times Seahawks reporter, Danny O'Neil tweeted out an interesting quote attributed to WR Sidney Rice in response to Golden Tate's TD pass to Rice: "His throwing motion was the worst. I thought we traded for Tebow for a second." Interesting given the fact the Seahawks played against Tebow and the struggling Jets today and quite funny in my opinion if true.   

Turn On The Jets Week 10 Best Bets

Week 9 Record: 2-1 Season Record: 10-16-1 Why do the Giants always look like such a good bet? It’s like every single week I look at them and I’m like “Yeah of course they’re covering that.” Look at this week, -3.5 against the Bengals? Really? I feel like the Giants win this game by four points or more 99% of the time. So am I going to go with them as one of my three highlight...

The Seattle Seahawks Are The Team The New York Jets Hoped To Be This Season

    The Seahawks easily defeated the Jets 28-7 yesterday and Rex Ryan must be envious of how Seattle wins games.  The Hawks are using a strong running game, defense and timely passing to be in the hunt for a playoff spot.  This is the same formula the Jets used in 2009 and 2010 to reach the AFC Championship game.  However, things have gone awry for New York thanks to very...
