Should Jets Fans Still Believe in Aaron Glenn and Co?

 The patience of Jets fans has sure been tested over the many years and decades, and it is being tested again right now as New York prepares to move foward with Head Coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey into the 2026 season. 

The Jets (3-14) were awful this year. An undisciplined, over matched, horribly constructed mess. The Jets need a total overhaul in 2026 on both sides of the ball, but a lot of attention will be spent on quarterback. 


The Jets never ending pursuit of a "franchise" QB has taken them from Sam Darnold, Zach Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Justin Fields in recent years, and you can sprinkle in Tyrod Taylor, Joe Flacco, and Brady Cook in between. 

Even as Darnold and Rodgers find renewed life elsewhere, and are both in the postseason with Seattle and Pittsburgh respectively, they didn't succeed here in New York with the Jets. 


 

As Gang Green now holds the number 2 overall pick, the speculation is already starting. Will the Jets draft Dante Moore out of Oregon? Will Moore opt to stay in school another year? He can collect some serious dough in N.I.L. money. Or, as Todd McShay of ESPN suggested, would Moore's agent push the Raiders to draft him in order to avoid the Jets. If that happened than Fernando Mendoza, the presumed first overall selection, would drop to the Jets. 

But whomever the Jets get, can we really be optimistic? The Jets have such a horrible history developing quarterbacks it's become an art-form unto itself.  If your answer is "no," than the Jets and their fleeting fanbase are in for a bad time in 2026.

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 ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

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...
