I knew something was happening when I saw the David Letterman channel upload.

I wonder how much he has left in the tank. He has looked disinterested at times the last few seasons. Maybe a change of scenery will reenergize him. I could see them winning 10 games and making the playoffs.

The Jets had to do this, in so many ways the team is the face of failure in the NFL.

In the last 50 years they have made only four appearances in the AFC conference final, losing all four times. They haven't made the postseason in 12 seasons, in all that time they have had 1 winning season. In 6 of the last 7 seasons they have finished last in their division with double digit losses in each of those seasons. In 34 of the last 50 seasons they failed to have a winning record, I think I've made my point.

The owner can't continue to sell the sun will come out tomorrow to fans who haven't seen the sun rise on a Super Bowl team since Lyndon Johnson was President.

I have to concur about The Jets being mostly a horrible franchise, who have not been to a Super Bowl since Joe Namath was the Quarterback. The Jets have had some good years but have not won it all in fifty years, and frankly it is a crappy franchise and don’t really understand why this is.

Or really, why do fans bother watching them?

I have not really kept up with NFL (I am a college football fan however), but getting a what, a 40 year old QB is a right move? It goes without saying (although I will) that any sport, and this includes football has to have all the pieces together to function.

These NFL players and I am sure Rodgers are paid millions a year but how much is enough? I can say on one level I am concerned about guys like him and Tom Brady (who retired after being the oldest player in the league) who keep playing this game year after year after year. For over twenty years in college and pros, Rodgers has been chased and thrown on turf by men larger than 1970’s Buicks. These guys play 16 games, and say they get knocked down ten times a game. That is 160 times a year. Think about getting knocked down by a large dude once a day for six months.

But yeah, I am from Memphis and my city wanted an NFL team for years. Someone told us the Jets were for sale. We went “We don’t want the NFL that bad!”

I would think that most NFL fans in Memphis are already followers of the Tennessee Titans. As long as that franchise is there, the state seems unlikely to gain a 2nd team.

The media are playing up the Jets as a Super Bowl contender for the upcoming season. We'll see if they're as good as advertised, or if it's just more big-media-market bias.

Their star corner Sauce Gardner is on the cover of this month's Sports Illustrated mag, even though as pointed out in this thread the franchise hasn't accomplished much in decades. They've actually had 2 good drafts in a row now, but drafting well doesn't always translate to winning playoff games.

The turf, maybe. It’s always been considered dangerous with many complaints by home and visiting teams. There was a game a year or two ago where like three 49ers went down because of it. I haven’t seen anyone blame the rain. It didn’t look like a factor.

I don’t see how someone can be suspended for being absolutely correct. Especially when a bunch of the fan base feared exactly what happened, especially with the Jets weak offensive line. And of course the curse of Joe Namath, selling his and the team’s soul for that Supe III win guarantee.

The STRANGEST QUARTERBACK INJURY in New York Jets HISTORY

In light of the Aaron Rodgers injury and with the New York Jets facing the Dallas Cowboys this week, with these two worlds intersecting, let's talk about one of the craziest injuries to happen to a Jets quarterback that could only happen to a Jets quarterback. Because Ken O'Brien, in week 9 of the 1990 NFL season, during a game between the New York Jets and the Dallas Cowboys, injured his thumb... giving a high-five?

Sports reporters seem to overwhelmingly believe that Rodgers "signed off on the firing" of head coach Saleh.

Even before their recent loss, predictions of a "2 and 5" start after their first 7 games were in the air.

Things are not going as planned for Aaron's Jets. The chances of their making the playoffs are dwindling. Maggie Gray called the team "a national laughingstock." Jim Rome says their coaches "inspire 0.0 % confidence" and refers to O.C. Nathaniel Hackett as "can't Hackett."

Beat me to the bump up.

Jets are never ready to play, are undisciplined, always seem to be in double digits in penalties every game, and there’s never any accountability. That's on coaching. No one denies there’s talent on the team.

The offensive coaches need to go too, but Rodgers seems to love Hackett. But the ball has been in has hands at the end of the last 2 games with a chance to win and neither time could he deliver. So Rodgers not entirely blameless here.

And calling the Jets laughingstocks isn’t exactly breaking news. Google “butt fumble” for starters.

"Laughingstock" is pretty harsh in my opinion. I think the talent the Jets have assembled is well-respected, as you've noted. In my view, pro players have the experience where coaching shouldn't be as vital as it is in the lower levels -- in other words, the team captains need to whip them into shape, and just go out there and perform...!

And they have won a couple of games; that type of negativity should be reserved for winless teams - especially after more of the season has played out. I should add that Gray is a Buffalo Bills fan, so she won't be losing any sleep worrying about the Jets.

Besides pulling off the impossibility of no interceptions in a season, let’s add this

The biggest problem the Jets have as an organization is Woody Johnson. He's overwhelmed, he clearly has no idea how to fix any of this. Forget the playoffs, in the past 15 years the team has had only one winning season. In the past 10 years the team has had one season that finished with less the 10 losses. Aaron Glenn needed to be fired yesterday, he wasn't. What does that mean for 2026, well no matter how well they do with all the draft capital they have, the team will underperform and this time the coach will be fired. What else will have happened, another year will have gone down the drain. It's just January 6 and the fan base already knows the 2026 season is going to be another disaster.

The only hope at this point would be Johnson gets tired of all this and sells. He is 77, does he need this aggravation, take his 7 billion dollar profit from selling and ride off into the sunset knowing he he made a great business deal buying the Jets in the first place. The NFL should have a crisis management committee that can discreetly engage a team that is as dysfunctional as the Jets, perhaps recommending someone who could lead the organization. As long as Woody is there the perpetual loop of failure will continue.

Sounds right. The only flaw in your plan is he ain't selling.

Harbaugh just got fired! Woody should have Harbaugh on line A right now, how much, how many years, any other needs, get it on paper and have the agreement flown to him on his private jet. Line B Glenn, you're out.

The one thing Woody’s got is money. But I don’t see any way Harbaugh takes a Jet job.

Although anyone who manages to make the Jets a consistent winner is guaranteed football immortality. Parcells was the last one to have some measurable success for a while. Maybe I’ll throw Rex Ryan in there too.

I agree, the Jets are a hard sell and Harbaugh is going to have a lot of choices. This guy is a real gamechanger for the organization bringing instant credibility, Woody has got to move heaven and earth to get this done. The worst nightmare for the Jets would be seeing the Giants sign Harbaugh right under their noses, then watch MetLife turbocharged when the Giants play while looking like the tomb of the unknown football team when the Jets play. This is a nightmare that could come true, if the Jets are sitting 1-4, and the Giants at 3-2 in October with Harbaugh as head coach, the world won't be large enough for Woody to find a hiding place.

That’s yet another thing the Jets desperately need. Their own stadium. Somewhere.

I feel the same way with the Cleveland Browns...except I ask "will they ever be in the Super Bowl"?

At least the Browns made the playoffs recently. Jets are worse.

Well, no one can say the Jets can’t identify and draft quarterback Super Bowl starters.

It’s 2015 all over again

2015

>>>In August 2015, then-New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith suffered a broken jaw after being punched in the face by teammate IK Enemkpali in the locker room. The altercation was sparked by a dispute over a $600 flight ticket Enemkpali paid for, which Smith failed to reimburse after skipping a camp. Enemkpali was immediately released by the Jets.<<<

Today

Sources: Jets get their QB, trade with Raiders for Geno Smith (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48164552/sources-jets-get-their-qb-trade-raiders-geno-smith)

No word yet if IK is also coming back.

Jets at 14 years, Sabres currently at 13 but looks like will be officially joining the 14 club by April at the latest.

The Jets are up to 15 seasons. It looks like they will continue to hold the record for some years barring any unforeseen developments.

Longest active postseason droughts across NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42901068/longest-active-postseason-droughts-nfl-mlb-nba-nhl)

Good to see Buffalo finally end their drought after 14 seasons.

I’ve been to hockey games in Buffalo.


The competition was a thread on a Jets board
