New York Jets Flight Connections 01/20/26

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have begun a second round of interviews for their open defensive coordinator position.

After a solid 4-2 Wild Card Weekend, I went 0-2 yesterday on my picks. I will honor the proud tradition of accountability set by our owner Woody Johnson by placing the blame squarely on the referees in the Buffalo-Denver game and on Adam Schefter for pumping up Sam Darnold’s injury. Let’s try to get back […]

Aaron Rodgers and the silliest narrative about the 2025 New York Jets

If you want to criticize an NFL team, the 2025 New York Jets provided you with an extremely target rich environment. Aside from special teams and to a lesser extent the offensive line, the team had virtually no bright spots. You name it. The Jets did it poorly. That’s why it was so odd all […]
