Unlike the Giants, Jets giving fans hope for next season

It is always football season around here, the same way it’s always baseball season. And it feels that way more than ever these days, even in the spring, because of free agency and the upcoming draft. So, you better believe the Giants and Jets are very much in the conversation lately, one that can start here as well as anywhere else, whether the Giants like it or not: They’re no better than the Jets now. And they might turn out to be worse if a quarterback older than the East River and coming off a torn Achilles — Mr. Rodgers himself, now playing in our neighborhood — manages to stay healthy for the 2024-25 NFL season. Stay with the Giants for now. You know how much went wrong for them last season, starting with their opening drive of the season against the Cowboys, one that ended with a b...

3 keys to a Jets upset victory over the Houston Texans

GET ZACH-ATTACK ROLLING EARLY With Zach Wilson back in the saddle at QB for the rest of the season, the Jets need to call plays that will give him confidence early in the game. Too often this season, the Jets have fallen into early deficits. Considering the state of their offense, the Jets aren’t exactly equipped to come back from trailing by double digits. Gang Green needs Wilson to play like he did against the Chiefs when he completed 28 of 39 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Yes, the Jets lost by three, but Wilson gave them every opportunity to win that game. ESTABLISH THE RUN GAME It’s no coincidence the Jets haven’t been able to run the ball effectively during their five-game losing streak. Gang Green is averaging 65.2 rushing yards during that span. Much of that is due to th...

3 keys for Jets to upset AFC East rival Dolphins on Black Friday

GET THE BALL OUT QUICKLY The Jets offensive line has been decimated by injuries this year. With the Jets going from Zach Wilson to Tim Boyle under center this week, more emphasis needs to be placed on them getting the ball out as quickly as possible. Miami ranks ninth in the NFL in sacks with 31. That’s why Boyle needs to get rid of the ball inside the pocket. Unlike Wilson, Boyle isn’t super athletic or someone who will make plays with his legs. If he holds the ball too long, it could be another long day for the Jets offense. ESTABLISH RUSHING ATTACK The bread and butter of the Jets offense has been their rushing attack. However, teams have recently been stacking the line of scrimmage to eliminate Breece Hall from the equation. During his last five games, Hall has averaged 31.4 yards per...

Zach Wilson 16-game audition begins Sunday vs. Cowboys

We’ve all heard the expression, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” The first impression Zach Wilson made on Jets fans wasn’t a good one. But he is getting a second chance to prove the doubters wrong. Sunday is the start of a new beginning for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft and a chance to change his narrative. Wilson became the Jets starting quarterback again after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles during Monday night’s 22-16 OT victory against the Bills just four plays into the game. During the second quarter, Wilson looked like the player Jets fans grew to detest late last season as he completed 5 of 8 passes for 41 yards and an interception as he and the team were booed off the field at halftime. But unlike last year, Wilson regained his confidence ...

Spectrum customers could be left in dust for Jets-Bills

There’s a scene in the final episode of “Hard Knocks” on HBO where Robert Saleh, standing in front of a picture of Mt. Everest, tells his team they have only reached the bottom of the Mountain. The climb begins Monday night against Buffalo in the Meadowlands. Yet there is no certainty whether millions of Jets fans will be able to watch Gang Green start their ascent. They are caught in the middle of a cable carriage dispute designed to screw you, the fan. If honchos from Charter Communications-owned Spectrum cable systems (14.7 million subscribers, about 2 million in the New York area) and Disney, ESPN’s parent company, cannot reach a new carriage agreement before kickoff, ending a blackout that began August 31, Spectrum subscribers will have to find another way to access the game, ESPN’s ...
