Jets playoff chances are not looking so bright

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jets+vs+texans+highlights+week+11

The Jets suffer a tough loss week 11 to the Houston Texans. This loss could potentially ruin our chances to grab the AFC wild card and make the playoffs. The Jets started off the game playing pretty well not letting up a touchdown after the Texans drove the ball all the way down to the Jets 10 yard line on the very first drive. The Jets answered back with a field goal of their own. On the very next Texans drive QB TJ Yates unloaded a 50 yard bomb to Deandre Hopkins for a touchdown. Star CB for the Jets Darrelle Revis was the player who Hopkins burned for a TD on the play. The Texans go up 10-3 heading into the third quarter. On the Jets opening drive in the third quarter, they put up an impressive drive ending with a 25 yard strike to Brandon Marshall for a touchdown. The score is now 10-10. On the following Texans drive they drive down the field and end up with a touchdown on a trick play. QB Tj Yates hiked the ball and threw a screen pass to WR Cecil Shorts who then found RB Alfred Blue down the field for a touchdown. The Texans go up 17-10 on a very impressive drive. The Texans notorious defense led by DE JJ Watt stopped the Jets on their following drive and came up with a scoring drive of their own ending with another touchdown pass to WR Deandre Hopkins. It is now 24-10 Texans heading into the 4th quarter. The Texans stop the Jets to a 4th and 1 where the Jets are forced to go for it. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick sneaks past the center for a first down to keep the drive going. It is now 1st and goal and Ryan Fitzpatrick can't find any options to go to so he decides to take off for the end zone. There are two Texan defenders in front of him and he tucks and runs one over and takes a big hit for a touchdown. Little did we know Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered a concussion on this play but they kept him in anyway. The Jets defense made a big stop and gave their offense a chance to take over and try to tie the football game up with a touchdown but they had to do this with 2 minutes left on the clock. After a five yard penalty, the Jets take over on 1st and 15. Ryan Fitzpatrick looks over the middle for Brandon Marshall but it is picked off by a Texans defender. I believe this interception was due to Fitzpatrick's concussion which he suffered on his touch down run. The Jets are now looking between backup QB Geno Smith or third string QB and rookie Bryce Petty for Fitz's replacement. As a Jets fan we DO NOT want to see Geno Smith starting next week against division rival Miami Dolphins.

Jets Lose to Former Bum Coach Rex Ryan on Thursday Night

This is one of the biggest games of the year for the Jets. It is a divisional game against the up and coming Buffalo Bills coached by our former coach Rex Ryan. Not only do the Jets want to win this game but we also want to beat our punk former Head Coach who sent out linebacker IK Enkempali as a captain for the coin toss. This is a scum bag move because Ik Enkempali is the man who sucker punched our starting QB Geno Smith and injured him for 5 weeks.

The Jets were scoreless until late in the first quarter where their offense put up a field goal leading the Bills 3-0. In the middle of the second quarter, QB Ryan /Fitzpatrick fits a pass between two Bills defenders but WR Brandon Marshall bobbled it and it fell into the hands of a Bills safety. This leads to a Bills field goal making the score 3-3. The very following Bills kick off, Jets rookie WR Devin Smith fumbles the football on his return and the Bills special teams picks it up and takes it to the end zone for 6. The Bills now lead 10-3. The Bills then get a safety late in the 2nd quarter making the score 12-3 Buffalo. Early in the 3rd, Buffalo QB Tyrod Taylor throws a strike into the end zone to RB Karlos Williams. The Bills now go up 19-3. Late in the third, Gang Green finally answers with a touchdown of their own on a pass from QB Fitzpatrick to WR Brandon Marshall. The score is now 22-10 after the Bills scored a field goal. WR Eric Decker drops a crucial 3rd and 2 pass early in the 4th quarter. Then, Head Coach Todd Bowles makes the DUMBEST decision of all time going for it on 4th down when there is no need to. The Jets should have punted the football they easily had more time to score. The Jets go down 22-17 to a very non impressive Bills team led by the idiot Rex Ryan who reacted as if he had just won the Super Bowl after beating them. Very classy move by him.

Jets get an impressive win against the Jacksonville Jaguars

 

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is back this week playing through a broken thumb on his left hand. The Jaguars go up 3-0 on the opening drive but QB Fitzpatrick comes back with an impressive drive of his own ending with a 15 yard touchdown strike to WR Eric Decker. The Jets go up 7-3. On the next Jaguars drive cornerback Marcus Williams picks off Jags' QB Blake Bortles giving the Jets another offensive opportunity. The Jets next possession ends with a touchdown by RB Chris Ivory making the score 14-3 late in the second quarter. The Jets give up a ridiculous touch down with 14 seconds left in the 2nd quarter. This was due to blown coverage by CB Antonio Cromartie who has been absolutely awful for us this season. He gave up a 64 yard touchdown reception to WR Allen Hurns. The score is now 14-13 Jets. Next drive for the Jets Chris Ivory takes a screen pass to the Jags' 2 yard line. He finishes the drive by punching in a touchdown making the score 21-13 Jets. The Jags later score a field goal making the score 21-16. Fitzpatrick then throws a nice 30 yard pass to WR Brandon Marshall for a touchdown. The Jags score with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter making the score 23-28 Jets. The Jags are forced to onside kick it to try to get the ball back and make one final effort to score a touch down. The Jags fail to recover the onside kick as it is recovered by WR Brandon Marshall. Ryan Fitzpatrick plays through his injury and throws two impressive touchdown passes one deep one to Marshall and another leaving the pocket and eluding defenders finding Eric Decker for 6. RB Chris Ivory also scores two touchdowns.

Most upsetting display of football I've ever seen

WR Jeremy Kerley hauls in reception

The Jets looked a lot like last year this past Sunday. It all started when QB Ryan Fitzpatrick broke his hand while scrambling for a first down on the opening drive. The Jets were forced to put in back up QB Geno Smith who never plays well. The Oakland Raiders led by QB Derrick Car and Running back Latavius Murray torched the Jets. Our notorious defense let up 34 points, 33 passing yards, and 118 rushing yards. The usually tough Jet defense simply could not tackle. WR Brandon Marshall played pretty well for the Jets hauling in 9 catches for 108 yards. WR Jeremy Kerley was also finally brought into the offensive mix with 4 receptions for 63 yards. The Jets had absolutely no run game probably due to the loss of veteran center Nick Mangold who always opens huge holes for his running backs. The Jets lose to the Raiders 34-20 in a very embarrassing display of football. Both quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith were injured in this game. Ryan Fitzpatrick is probable in next week's game which we need him in., Our top tier defense needs to prepare next week for the below average offense of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Regardless if Fitzpatrick plays next week we should be able to beat the Jags pretty handily. Jets fans should expect a way better display of football next week.

The run by QB Fitzpatrick before he breaks his hand

Jets almost defeat undefeated Patriots in Foxborough - AFC East Divisional Game

The Jets lose a close divisional game to the unbeaten Patriots in week 7 this past sunday. Jets fans should not be that upset about this one considering we were playing on the road in Foxborough, one of the toughest stadiums in the NFL. We were up 10-3 late in the second quarter but New England QB Tom Brady was driving down the field. It was 3rd and ten and the Patriots were on our own 13 yard line where we made possibly the dumbest mistake this year. Our notorious defense broke down on 3rd and ten and let Tom Brady run ten yards for the first down. Tom Brady rarely runs the football. The Pats were now at our 3 yard line where we stopped them on the goal line causing 4th down. Knowing New England coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots pull a bold move and go for it on 4th down. Tom Brady hurdles over our defense for 6 making the score tied 10-10 late in the 2nd. The jets were fighting all game and staying in the game mainly due to New England's dropped passes. WR Brandon Lafell had 4 dropped passes, WR Julian Edelman had a crucial dropped touchdown pass, and star TE Rob Gronkowski had a dropped pass that should have resulted in a first down. Our secondary didn't play as well as usual mainly due to the loss of one of our leaders: hard-hitting strong safety Calvin Pryor. Our defensive front always puts pressure on every QB but Jets fans would want to see more pressure on Brady this week. The Patriots lead 16-10 late in the 3rd quarter but the Jets led by QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, are driving down the field. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick throws a screen pass to RB Chris Ivory on 2nd & 6 that leads to a touchdown. The Jets now lead 17-16 late in the 3rd quarter. Running back Chris Ivory did not play like himself this week due to a hamstring injury last week against the Washington Redskins. The Jets tack on another field goal making the score 20-16 Jets early in the 4th quarter. The Pats then answer with a long drive of their own with some completions to WR Julian Edelman and TE Rob Gronkowski. The Pats then score off a 15 yard bullet from QB Tom Brady to WR Danny Amendola. The Pats now lead 23-20 with 7 minutes left in the final quarter. The very next possession the Pats defense stops the Jets to a 3 and out. Brady then winds the clock all the way down to a minute and 15 seconds left in the quarter where he finds his big target TE Rob Gronkowski on a short screen pass that leads to 6. The Pats are now up 30-20 with less than a minute to go for the Jets to answer back. The Jets drive down the field quickly which leads to a 55 yard field goal by Nick Folk. The Jets then are forced to onside kick it where WR Brandon Marshall recovers it giving them a chance to tie the game up with 15 seconds. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed a 13 yard pass to Eric Decker but had no timeouts left. Their hurry up offense should have worked to snap the ball with 2 or 3 seconds left but Brandon Marshall was called for a false start.

New York Jets impressive defeat over Washington Redskins. Jets move to 4-1. - Week 6

New York Jets fans should be more than just pleased with the result of week 6. The Jets defeated the Washington Redskins 34-20. The Washington Redskins score on their first drive after an Eric Decker fumble. The Redskins scored on a slant route from their quarterback Kirk Cousins to receiver Pierre Garcon. It was due to the blown coverage of Darelle Revis. It was a tie game all the way until about the ten minute mark of the 3rd quarter where Jets QB "Fitzmagic", Ryan Fitzpatrick, took matters into his own hands. Fitzpatrick completed a screen pass to RB Chris Ivory which carried out to be a 34 yard gain. Following a Brandon Marshall catch the Jets were marked down at the 18 yard line.  Fitzpatrick takes the snap from the shotgun formation can't find any open receivers and decides to use his Ivy league legs and take off. All the Redskins defenders are expecting him to slide so he would not take a hit which could cause to a potential injury, but instead "Fitzmagic" cut up two Redskin defenders to find the endzone for 6. Fitzpatrick's reaction was priceless he shot up after hitting the turf and celebrated with his teammates.

The Jets now lead the Skins 20-13 late in the third. It was all Gang Green from there. Next Jets possession Brandon Marshall aka "The Machine" makes a beautiful shoelace grab which he ends up tking to the house for 6. It is now 27-13 Jets. On the next Washington drive, Kirk Cousins tries to go deep to wide receiver Pierre Garcon but ends up getting picked off by safety Marcus Gilchrist number 21. On the next Jets drive, RB Chris Ivory continues to run hard with the ground and pound offense. He carried us to the 5 yard line where WR Eric Decker would catch a slant pass from Fitzpatrick for a touchdown increasing the lead to 34-13. As my family begins to exit Metlife Stadium on my birthday weekend extremely pleased with how our Jets are doing the Skins tack on a touchdown off of a blocked punt causing the final score to be 34-20. Notable stats from this game include Ryan Fitzpatrick going off, completing 19 of his 26 passes for 253 yards 2 throwing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Brandon Marshall had 7 receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown. The biggest impact of the game was #33 RB Chris Ivory. Ivory went off for 146 yards on just 20 touches and a touchdown. He is a huge part of our offensive scheme this year and I'm excited to see what his consistency brings us this year. The Jets will travel up to Foxborough, Massachussets Sunday to play their toughest matchup to date, the undefeated New England Patriots led by QB Tom Brady and powerhouse TE Rob Gronkowski. My prediction for this game is a Jet road win 27-24.
