In April the New York Jets made some odd changes during the off season which included signing a defensive player that left some Jets fans confused. Jason Taylor, a former Miami Dolphin, signed a two-year contract with the Jets after publicly badmouthing the team, and the intelligence of the fans, for many years.

Taylor was expecting the fans to be angry towards him at Wednesday’s minicamp practice at the New Meadowlands Stadium because of the comments he has made in the past. Taylor unfortunately did experience some boos from the fans, but they was short lived. By the end of practice he was high fiving fans and signing autographs. Fans even began to cheer for him, which was much appreciated by Taylor.

The 35 year old defensive linemen did not participate much in Wednesday’s practice. He underwent shoulder surgery which he is currently in the process of recovering from. The surgery certainly is limiting his ability to practice, but the fans liked him anyway.

The Jets will play their first preseason game against the New York Giants as they open up their home at the New Meadowlands Stadium together on Monday, August 16, 2010.

Jason Taylor signed a two-year contract with the New York Jets on Monday despite being despised by the fans for many years because of comments he made regarding his dislike for the Jets.

Taylor did not want to leave the Dolphins, but according to sources the Dolphins did not acknowledge his phone calls while he was in pursuit of a new contract. They told him that he would have to wait until after the draft for them to even consider renewing his contract. Two weeks ago Taylor visited the Jets, but only left with the decision to either wait until after the draft to see if Miami would re-sign him, or to sign with New York.

The 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year is another signing risk that coach Rex Ryan has made to add to the multiple other ones. Fans will have to wait and see if this odd off-season activity will be rewarding to them or not.

Ryan seems to think it will be beneficial to their goal of reaching the playoffs.  ”We expect Jason to play a bunch and be a major contributor to our defense, clearly, we have an outstanding group already, but you can expect Jason to be out there a bunch.”

The New York Jets will host the opening game at the new Meadowlands stadium on August 16, 2010 against fellow tenants, the New York Giants. The regular season for the Jets begins on Monday, September 13, 2010 against the Baltimore Ravens.

The New York Jets and the New York Giants will meet on August 16, 2010 as they both host the opening game at the new Meadowlands stadium. The NFL changed the original preseason schedule to allow this game to be the opening one for each of the two teams as they wished. Considering it is the The Jets’ turn to be the host in this rivalry, they will be the home team at their 42nd meeting ever in a preseason game.

Giants Stadium has been considered home to the Giants since 1976. The Jets moved in 8 years later in 1984 and became a new tenant. This new stadium will stop the Jets from feeling like a second rate team because the two teams will share a 50/50 partnership. It will be the only stadium that is shared by two teams, as was the old Giants Stadium.

The Giants and Jets flipped a coin to see who would open their regular season first. The Giants won, and will play their first regular season game on September 12. The Jets will open at the new Meadowlands stadium on the following Monday. However, in August you can experience the inaugural game between the two occupants of the new Meadowlands stadium. This is a once in a lifetime chance that you do not want to miss out on!

The New York Jets were the lucky team to play the football finale at Giants Stadium. New York closed the stadium with a 37-0 shutout to the Cincinnati Bengals, and a shower of green and white confetti. Giants’ stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey has hosted the most National Football League games in history. In this 34 year-old building the Jets earned playoff berth in its final game.

The Jets completely owned the first half of the game. During New York’s opening drive they went 72 yards in 7 plays where Thomas Jones finally got into the end zone and scored for the home team. Mark Sanchez threw for less than 70 yards and went 8 of 16 passing. But it was New York’s defense that was able to stop Cincinatti. They held the Bengals to only 7 yards.

The Jets embarrassed the Bengals in Sunday’s game. However, the Jets won 5 out of their last 6 games so they earned the AFC’s fifth seed and a chance to play in the wild card round. Cincinnati will have a chance to redeem themselves when the teams face each other in the playoffs on Saturday at Paul Brown Stadium.

The New York Jets have a possible opportunity at a playoff berth this season. In the past decade, the Jets (8-7_ have had 6 chances at a playoff berth going into the final game of the regular season. Whether it was by their own doing, or because of other results, the Jets were able to convert on 4 out of 6 of these occasions.

On Sunday night, when the Jets have their final game of the regular season and host Cincinnati, they will have an opportunity to make that 5 out of 7 times. If they Jets win this game they are in the playoffs, but if they lose they are out. Sunday night’s game will be the football finale at Giants Stadium.

If they Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals, that would secure the number 6 seed in the AFC for the New York jets. The Bengals don not have much to worry about on Sunday. They are definitely in the playoffs, but only their seed, number 3 or 4, is up for grabs. Either way, they are in the playoffs. However, the Jets are not concerned about this. All they are concerned about is a chance to be in that Superbowl tournament!

The New York Jets had a crucial win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon in New York. The 17-6 victory over Carolina improved the Jets’ record to 5-6. With just 5 games left to be played before the playoffs, this important win raised the hopes of the Jets being a part of all the playoff action.

Jake Delhomme of the Carolina Panthers threw 4 interceptions which led to their loss. The New York Jets’ defensive player, Darrelle Revis made two interceptions and even returned one for a 67 yard touchdown. This was the first defensive touchdown of this season for the Jets.

Rookie quarterback, Mark Sanchez, didn’t throw any touchdowns this game. However, he did manage to end the game with 154 yards, just one interception, and completed 13 of 17 passes. He distributed the ball well to 5 different receivers who made receptions, such as Braylon Edwards who caught 3 balls for 40 yards, and Dustin Keller who caught 4 for 68 yards.

The New York Jets will play their next game at Buffalo against the Bills on Thursday, December 3, and they need to win in order to have a chance to get into the playoffs.

On Sunday, November 15 the New York Jets lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-22. This loss may have eliminated their chances of making it into the playoffs. It was another devastating loss for the 4-5 Jets, who opened the NFL season with three wins.

The loss came in the form of a 21-yard field goal kicked by Jacksonville’s Josh Scobee as time expired in Sunday’s game at the Meadowlands.

The Jets, who are the ranked second in the NFL for defense, allowed 250 yards, 14 first downs, and 21 points in just the first half. In the second half the Jets’ defense showed what they were made for most of allowing just 97 yards.

The New York jets played poorly, and made many sloppy errors. During the biggest play of the game they failed on pass coverage, they wasted 2 timeouts in the second half because of a sideline/huddle miscommunication, and when they were instructed not to tackle Maurice Jones-Drew, they did. Coach Rex Ryan was intending on letting Jacksonville score a touchdown just to leave enough time for the Jets to tie or win the game, but the Jets were unable to do that.

The New York Jets hope to end the teams losing streak on November 22 against the New England Patriots.

The New York Jets suffered a 16-13 defeat on Sunday by the Buffalo Bills at Giants Stadium. After starting the season 3-0, this was the Jets’ third straight loss, and until this game the Bills had lost 12 of their previous 15 games.

Although the Jets had 318 yards on the ground, they were unable to be victorious as they fell in overtime. The loss could fall much on the shoulders of Rookie quarterback, Mark Sanchez. In Sunday’s game, he completed 10 of 29 passes for 119 yards, threw 5 interceptions, and no touchdowns. With an unfortunate interception pass to wide receiver, Braylon Edwards, Mark Sanchez set up the Bills’ winning drive.

Despite the poor performance, Sanchez will remain on the field. Since beating Kellen Clemens for the job, it is clear that Sanchez, the fifth overall pick out of Southern California, has mostly struggled. However, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan plans on sticking with Mark Sanchez as his starting quarterback.

On the bright side, Jets running back Thomas Jones ran for a franchise record of 210 yards on 22 carries. This was also a career best. Another contributor was Leon Washington who had 99 yards on 15 carries. With some of the top rushing performances of the year, this game could have been an easy win for the Jets.

The New York Jets have their next game on October 25 against the Oakland Raiders in Oakland.

The New York Jets lost Sunday’s game to their AFC East rivals, the Miami Dolphins, 31-27. This is the second straight week that the Jets (3-2) have lost.

First year Jets’ coach, Rex Ryan made some creative calls during the game. In the first half he called 2 fake punts that turned out very well for the Jets, and they were able to score some points. In fact, they were the only points the Jets made in the first half of the game.

The first fake was called when the New York Jets were 6 yards short of a first down on their own 34-yard line. This fake was daring, but resulted in a first down and a 26-yard gain. This fake led to a touchdown pass to wide receiver Braylon Edwards from rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez to pull the Jets into a 7-7 tie.

Monday’s game was Braylon Edwards debut with the New York Jets. The 26-year old wide receiver scored his first touchdown of the season with his first catch of the game. Sanchez through to Edwardsin the end zone, and Edwards made the touchdown scoring grab. He caught 5 passes for 64 yards and helped set up 2 more touchdowns.

The second fake was not as risky. The Jets only needed 3 yards for a first down,were at Miami’s 40-yard line, and almost in field goal range. Brad Smith ran on a direct snap for a first down which set up a 40-yard field goal by Jay Feely. This particular field goal extended Feely’s consecutive field goal streak to 22.

The New York Jets have their next game on Sunday, October 18 against the Buffalo Bills.

On Sunday, October 4 the New York Jets suffered their first loss of the season to the New Orleans Saints at The Louisiana Superdome. Heading into this game, the Jets were among only seven undefeated teams in the entire NFL. The Saints were also one of those seven teams.

The New York Jets’ defense got in the way of the Saints offense more than any other oponenent during this season so far. They stopped the Saints on 4th and 1 opportunities 2 times during Sunday’s game. They also held the Saints back in 9 third-down situations. They were able to limit the Saints to a season low of only 343 yards

The Saints used four Jets’ turnovers to their advantage to take the victory. Much of the blame for the team’s first loss of the season could be placed on Jets rookie quarterback and former USC star, Mark Sanchez. He lost the football in the Jets’ end zone which led to another score by New Orleans. He threw 3 interceptions and of them one was returned for a 99-yard touchdown.

The Jets’ 24-10 loss to the Saints leaves the team with 3 wins and 1 loss as they prepare for their next game against the Miami Dolphins on October 12.

Over the summer rookie Mark Sanchez was chosen as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets. On Sunday, September 13 during the New York Jets season opener, Sanchez led the team to a 24-7 victory over the Houston Texans.

Mark Sanchez had a lot of hype, and he lived up to it. He went 18 of 31 for 272 yards and a touchdown. He  was also very good at converting third downs, and was able to convert 10 of 18. Surprisingly, he made very little mistakes, only making one interception to John Busing.

Sanchez’s first touchdown pass in the NFL was made in the second quarter to Chansi Stuckey for a 30-yard touchdown. This gave the New York Jets a 10-0 lead on the Houston Texans.

The Jets defense was not taking any prisoners! The Texans supposedly have one of the best offenses this year, but that didn’t stop the Jets. Houston was only able to get a total of 183 yards against the New York Jets defense.

Steve Slaton, Texans running back, was only able to attain 17 yards on 9 carries. Andre Johnson, Texans wide receiver, only had 35 yards on 4 receptions.

The New York Jets have a big game on Sunday, September 20 against the New England Patriots.

Saturday night’s preseason game between the New York Jets and the New York Giants was a close one. Rookie quarterback, Mark Sanchez, guided the way for the New York Jets’ 27-25 victory over the New York Giants.

This was Mark Sanchez’s first game since the big decision on Wednesday. Although Sanchez has improved over his last game, it’s hard to say if the decision was a good one or not considering this was only a preseason game. Sanchez completed 10 of 16 passes in the first half for a touchdown and over 115 yards, justifying Coach Ryan’s instincts. It will be exciting to see if the Jets’ head coach, Rex Ryan, made the right choice when the season starts on September 13.

As Sanchez could not have been much more on point, Eli Manning had a tough time with his receivers. Out of twenty-one attempts, he only made nine completions. However, it was not only Mannings fault! The receivers were not always where they needed to be. Also, when Manning through a pass for 60 yards down the middle second year receiver, Steve Smith, dropped the perfectly thrown pass.

Mark Sanchez, a rookie from the University of Southern California, has just been chosen as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets. First year head coach, Rex Ryan, delivered the news of his tough decision that Mark Sanchez won the starting quarterback job to replace Brett Favre over Kellen Clemens on Wednesday.

At a private workout in Southern California in March, Sanchez caught the Jets’ attention. This is where Coach Rex Ryan found his quarterback. In April, the Jets traded up to take him with the fifth pick in the NFL draft.

Rex Ryan’s decision was certainly not an easy one! Statistically Sanchez and Clemens were performing as well as each other in two pre-season games. Although Mark Sanchez struggled a little bit in the game against the Baltimore Ravens, he has slightly outperformed Clemens.

Sanchez has a tough series of games ahead. On September 13, the Jets will open their regular season against the Houston Texans. He will rely on his tight ends, wide receivers, and the entire New York Jets team when they play at home against New England and Tennessee, then at New Orleans and Miami.

After seemingly owning the AFC East crown, it’s starting to look like the Jets are going to have to earn the right to the playoffs as there is now a three-way tie atop the division with the Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots all locked at 8-5 with three games left to play before the playoffs begin.

It could easily come down to the final week as well, when the Jets and Miami face off with a possible division title on the line. Prior to that game, the Jets face Buffalo and Seattle, two very winnable games, but by no means “gimmes”.

Miami’s remaining games are against San Francisco, Kansas City, and the Jets; while New England closes their season out with Oakland, Arizona, and Buffalo. Whatever happens, the AFC East has been extremely fun to watch this year. Go grab some New York Jets tickets and watch it all unfold.
