2015 NFL Schedule Leaks: Jets open vs. Browns, Giants @ Boys in Week 1

Later tonight the entire NFL schedule will be released to the public, but already, as is the annual tradition, rumors and leaks are coming out all over the place regarding the schedule.

Here is what we knew already. The Jets play Miami in London in Week 4. The Bills vs. Jaguars and Chiefs vs. Lions will also play in London Weeks 7 and 8, respectively. 

Now for the good stuff that is hot off the presses. According to NJ.com, the New York Jets will open the season at home for the sixth straight season, this time against Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns. An intriguing match-up because both teams are rumored to be hot for Marcus Mariota in the draft, and it would be Mike Pettine's return to the Meadowlands against his old team. Plus if Johnny Football is still in Cleveland, we get to see him handle the Big Apple media blitz for the entire week. 

It is surprising in a way since the Jets have been opening at home for six straight years, while the Giants have either opened at home in prime time, or have been on the road. Logic would have dictated that it was the Giants turn to open the season at home at 1:00 p.m. Not the case. 

Rumors are the Giants will open up on the road for the third straight season, and for the second time in three years, they will face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football on NBC. Not exactly exciting stuff. The game will be the fourth straight season opener for the Giants in Primetime. They opened 2012 at home on Thursday night against Dallas; visited Dallas on Sunday night in 2013, and last year, played in Detroit on Monday night.

Sounds like first Sunday night regular-season game is shaping up to be Giants at Cowboys. Just like two years ago.
And from Doug Rush of Sports Media 101.

Looks like the home opener in Week 2 will be against the .
UPDATE: the will play the in Week 3 on Thursday Night Football.
The Jets will wrap up the season in Buffalo against old coach Rex Ryan and the Bills. Another surprising development since any Jets-Bills game will now hold national significance thanks to good ole' Rex. Since the NFL mandated that all NFL teams play a divisional rival in week 17 back in 2010, the Jets have yet to finish a season with the Patriots. It has either been Miami or Buffalo. 

Speaking of the Patriots, they will open the season against the Steelers in week 1 on Thursday night. Not a big surprise here since the Steelers were the only really tasty match-up for New England on its home schedule, and the NFL always wants its best foot forward in the opening feature game. 

And lastly, we will have Favre Watch return this year. No Brett Favre is not coming out of retirement,  but the Packers legendary quarterback will have his number 4 retired on Thanksgiving night when Aaron Rodgers leads the Packers against the Bears. 

The rest of the schedule will be posted here as soon as its available.

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...
