London is Calling the New York Jets

The New York Jets and New York Giants will be heading overseas this season as the NFL unveiled its 2024 International schedule.

After weeks, days and even hours of rumors and speculation, the NFL confirmed what many had believed: the New York Jets will take on the Minnesota Vikings in London, England on October 6. The Giants will head to Munich, Germany to take on the Carolina Panthers on November 10.

JETS - VIKINGS

The Jets and Vikings are two of seven NFL teams that have partnerships with the United Kingdom, so it is no surprise that both teams are heading across the pond for this match-up.

This will be the third time the Jets have played in London. New York is 1-1 in the UK, with a win over the Miami Dolphins in 2015, and a loss at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons in 2021.

Minnesota is 3-0 all time in the UK.

This will be Aaron Rodgers second ever appearance in the UK. He made his first two seasons ago with the Green Bay Packers, when the Giants beat the Cheeseheads 27-22.

GIANTS - PANTHERS

The Giants are one of 10 NFL teams that have a partnership with Germany. The Giants have never played in Germany, although they are 3-0 in the International Series with all their wins coming in the United Kingdom.

In fact, Big Blue won the inaugural London game back in 2007 over the Miami Dolphins.

The rest of the NFL schedule will be announced tonight.

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...
