The NFL Knows America Doesn't Want To Watch The Jets
We already savaged the Rams for their role in the NFL’s least enjoyable game since this Week 1 debacle, but no one deserves to come out of that with dignity intact.

Darrelle Revis Is Still Getting Roasted
The Jets won yesterday, beating the Browns, which, okay. That makes two in a row for New York, which has slightly eased the suffering caused by a particularly disastrous four-game losing streak that triggered the brief return of Geno Smith. Still, you wouldn’t exactly call the victory over the Brown...
Report: Geno Smith Has A Torn ACL

Todd Bowles Changes His Mind About Ryan Fitzpatrick
Last night, the Jets limped their way to a 28-3 loss to the Cardinals. Ryan Fitzpatrick started, went 16-for-31, and tossed a pick.

The Jets Have Bigger Problems Than Ryan Fitzpatrick

Ryan Fitzpatrick And The Jets Were "Shitty All Around"
After Eli Manning threw the Giants’ game away, it wasn’t going to be easy for the Jets to wrest away the New York tabloids’ back pages.

Darrelle Revis Got Beaten
So, here’s a pretty stunning stat: Andy Dalton targeted A.J. Green 10 times when Darrelle Revis was in coverage on him, and completed all 10 passes. That’s 152 yards and a touchdown against the man once known as Revis Island, and an astronomical 152.1 passer rating for Dalton....
The Jets Dragged Andy Dalton All Over The Field And Still Couldn't Win
By the end of today’s game, Andy Dalton and the turf were close pals. The New York Jets’ defense sacked the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback seven times, the most in one game in Dalton’s career. Despite that, he still tore up the opposing coverage as the Bengals won, 23-22....
