NFL Schedules to come out Tuesday

The NFL will announce it's regular season schedule in a live television gala to be broadcast on NFL Network, Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

Last spring marked the first time that the NFL announced the schedule in a prime time special; in years past the schedules usually came out in press releases to the media, which were quickly published thereafter. Now it's a live event.

This year's announcement will certainly be jaded. With the NFL lockout still hanging over the league, many fans will be skeptical if these games are even played at all this fall.

The NFL's owners and players are still entwined in a bitter labor dispute that has gone to Federal Courts in Minnesota. Both sides are being encouraged to enter talks of mediation, but who mediates, and where those talks will take place is still being debated.

The NFL has to release this schedule, because in the event the two sides come to a new agreement come July, then the NFL can resume training camp and get set for the regular season.

The NFL announced only one regular season game on Monday. The Chicago Bears will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in London in the increasingly ridiculous trek to London for the "international series." The game will be on October 23 on FOX.

Rumors are that the world champion Green Bay Packers will open the season against the New Orleans Saints, the previous Super Bowl Champions, on Opening Night, Thursday September 5 on NBC.

Here are the opponents for the Giants and Jets for the upcoming season. When the schedules are announced for both teams, they will be published here on Cohen's Corner Sports.

Home: Cowboys, Eagles, Redskins, Bills, Dolphins, Packers, Rams, Seahawks.
Away: Cowboys, Eagles, Redskins, Jets, Patriots, Saints, 49ers, Cardinals.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance" that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end. While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second? Why it Makes Sense: Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas. The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November. Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

RAVENS 24 - JETS 9 In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster. A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most. If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards. Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament. The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself. George Fa...
