I started off the Playoffs hot with a 4-2 record picking the Wild Card round. That…did not carry over into the Divisional weekend where I stumbled to a 1-3 record making my picks. Let’s try to bounce back in the Conference Championship Games. AFC Championship Game 2. New England Patriots (16-3) at 1. Denver Broncos […]

Rumor: Jets interested in Tyrod Taylor reunion

The Jets head into the 2026 offseason with a massive question mark at quarterback. While most teams are simply searching for a starter, the Jets realistically need to fill two (and possibly three depending on what they decide to do with Brady Cook ) quarterback spots, with Tyrod Taylor’s contract set to expire. That said, […]

How Can Parcells Help Glenn in 2026?

By the end of the Jets’ disastrous 2025 season, the noise would be deafening. Same headlines, same arguments, same familiar question. How does this keep happening? Now imagine Aaron Glenn still standing, but bruised making a quiet trip to see Bill Parcells. No cameras. No quotes. Just football truth. Parcells isn’t drawing up blitz packages […]

Jets fire multiple assistant coaches

The Jets have fired multiple assistant coaches according to reports. None of this comes as a major surprise. It is common for a rookie head coach to make changes to his staff after the first year, particularly when that first year goes poorly.

New York Jets Flight Connections 01/23/26

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Word is the Jets are open to bringing back quarterback Tyrod Taylor for the 2026 season. If true, the question is, why? There was a time Taylor was a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL. A low-end starting quarterback to be sure, but still a legit starter. That time is […]

Jets are in position to add two bonus fifth round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft

Every year the NFL awards 32 bonus Draft picks based on the results of free agency the previous year. These are called compensatory Draft picks. For many years the system the league used to award the picks was shrouded in mystery. The great NFL salary cap website Over the Cap eventually reverse engineered the formula […]

Rumors: Wink Martindale the favorite for Jets defensive coordinator job?

The Jets are searching for a new defensive coordinator. The team unveiled eight candidates for the position late last week. Multiple beat writers suggest that former Ravens, Giants, and Michigan defensive coordinator Wink Martindale is the favorite.

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have begun a second round of interviews for their open defensive coordinator position. In-house candidate Chris Harris is the first candidate to complete a second interview. That is probably more a product of instant access as an in-house guy than it is an indication of a […]

NFL Divisional Sunday Predictions

After a solid 4-2 Wild Card Weekend, I went 0-2 yesterday on my picks. I will honor the proud tradition of accountability set by our owner Woody Johnson by placing the blame squarely on the referees in the Buffalo-Denver game and on Adam Schefter for pumping up Sam Darnold’s injury. Let’s try to get back […]
