Bills Bringing Back Red Helmets vs. Jets

 The Buffalo Bills are the latest in a long line of teams that are going to throw it back to (depending on your preference) better threads when the bring back their classic red helmets for the final home game at Orchard Park in Week 18.

The Bills haven't had a red helmet since the 2010 season when they ditched their millennium-navy uniforms for their current royal-blue and white uniforms that they have worn ever since. While the charging Bill logo remains the same, Buffalo has donned a white helmet since 2011. 

That all changes a bit in Week 18 against the New York Jets. 

The Bills will wear the red helmet with their current blue home jersey, which in my humble opinion is great, because the 90s Bills jerseys looked too much like the New York Giants jersey's during that era. 


Other teams that have joined the list of throwing it back of late include:

 The Bucs who brought back their road-white creamsicle uniforms this year. They re-introduced their home-orange creamsicle's last year. Ironically, the Jets will also face the Bucs when they are wearing their white Bucco-Bruce uniforms in Week 3. 

The Commanders have brought back the Redskins classic uniform just minus the Native American on the side of the helmet to be worn a few times this year. There is now a huge push by President Trump to have the Redskins name and likeness reinstated. Stay tuned on this. 

The Chargers brought back their 90s navy helmets and uniforms, although they added the silly numbers to the side of the helmet this time. 

A year ago, the Falcons brought back their 70s inspired red helmets; the Jaguars brought back their classic, original uniforms from the 90s; the Jets brought back their classic road white uniforms last season for a game against Buffalo in Week 6. The Patriots brought back their white Pat the Patriot helmet and red uniforms last season for a couple games. The Giants brought back their classic 80s/90s look a couple seasons ago, and the Titans have worn their Houston/Tennessee Oilers uniforms a couple of times in each of the last two seasons.

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...
