This Day in Jets History Footballology by Russ_Cohen - January 9, 2019January 9, 20190 The Jets fired Todd Bowles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hired him as a defensive coordinator.

Sam Darnold Shouldn’t Start Game One for the Jets Footballology by Russ_Cohen - August 3, 20180 The New York Jets drafted quarterback Sam Darnold with the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Jets Hit a New Low Footballology by Russ_Cohen - December 6, 20160 The New York Jets lost a Monday Night Football game to the Indianapolis Colts, 41-10.

The New York Jets Coaching Situation Footballology by Russ_Cohen - November 28, 20161 The New York Jets have better personnel than the record indicates.

Todd Bowles gave the Jets

This Jets Loss Should Raise Concerns Footballology by Leslie Monteiro - September 26, 2016September 26, 20160 In the words of Dallas Morning News baseball writer Gerry Fraley, what a beating! The Chiefs gave the Jets one at Arrowhead Stadium yesterday. In a game the Jets lost 24-3 to the Chiefs, it was not competitive. It was over in the first quarter.

Buffalo Could Be a Moment of Truth For Bowles Footballology by Leslie Monteiro - September 15, 20161 For all intents and purposes, the honeymoon is over for Todd Bowles. The second-year Jets head coach is facing a must-win game tonight. That’s a sign that it’s over. The Jets can’t go 0-2 if they lose to the Bills on Thursday Night Football. A loss, and there’s a good possibility the
Stigma of Same Old Jets Still Applies Footballology by Leslie Monteiro - September 12, 2016September 16, 20160 Say this about the Jets. They are well-trained in the art of losing.
