Jets, Giants Opponents for 2014 Announced

With the 2013 season now complete both the Jets and Giants turn the page to 2014.

 The Giants will come off a horrific season with the hopes they can rebound in 2014. The Giants need a new strategy offensively to get Eli Manning back on track, and the Tom Coughlin watch will be on big time next year. Coughlin will be 69 next year, and the Giants might want to have a successor in place by this time next season.

As for the Jets, they are coming off a magical finish to 2013 that saw them overachieve to win eight games in a year where Rex Ryan was squarely on the hot seat. He will be on the hot seat again next year if the team is mediocre, but the Jets played hard for him, especially down the stretch. The question regarding the Jets will be the shape of the offense next year. Is Geno Smith the answer? Will the Jets draft a quarterback? Will the Jets get a big time running back and receiver to help this offense out? Those are all questions that have to be answered in 2014.

One thing that is certain for 2014 are the opponents for both the Jets and Giants. While schedules won't officially be released until mid-April, teams already know whom they will play next season. The Giants finished in third place in the NFC East, and will face a third place schedule. With the Jets victory over Miami, they finished 2013 in second place, and will get a second place schedule.

New York Giants Opponents:
Home: Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington, San Francisco, Arizona, Atlanta,  Houston, Indianapolis.
Road: Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington, St. Louis, Seattle, Detroit, Jacksonville, Tennessee.

New York Jets Opponents:
Home: Buffalo, Miami, New England, Denver, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit.
Road: Buffalo, Miami, New England, Kansas City, San Diego, Tennessee, Green Bay, Minnesota.

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...
