Brandon Jacobs and Rex Ryan exchange words after game

Apparently Rex Ryan and Brandon Jacobs didn't get the memo that Christmas means you are supposed to be nice to your neighbor.

Oh, well. According to several reports, the two exchanged barbs as the clock ticked down on the Giants 29-14 beat-down of the Jets, on Christmas Eve. Tensions were initially raised when the Giants discovered that the Jets threw a black curtain over a mural of the Giants four Super Bowl logos, which is located in front of their locker room.

After the game, Jacobs ran up to Ryan and reportedly said, "Time to shut up fat boy!"

Jacobs then told the New York Daily News that he told Ryan to "shut the (expletive) up," and Ryan reportedly told the running back to "go (expletive) himself."

This is another low blow by Jacobs who has developed a reputation as a knucklehead in this town. From lashing out at fans and media, as well as rubbing victories in the faces of his opponents, Jacobs is a guy who just doesn't get it. If he wanted to be above the Jets and their bravado, he should have kept his own mouth shut. While Ryan should be privately criticized for his shots at the Giants over the years, and his unfulfilled boasts, he doesn't deserve to have someone run up to him and scream in his face.

Don't think this will be the end of this story.

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...
