Hey Rex, SHUT UP!

By Jeremy Fuchs

Full disclosure: I'm a Giants fan. I run a Giants blog. And I really dislike the Jets.

I was rooting for the Colts, mostly to hear the whining on talk radio from Jets fans. You can give me the "But, it's a New York team!" argument, but I don't buy it. Mets fans were only rooting for the Yanks in the World Series because they hate the Phillies. As a Yankee fan, I would root for the Mets only if they were playing the Red Sox.

But I digress.

Jets, Despite Problems, Are Right In Middle Of AFC Playoff Picture

By The Lantern

If you took nothing else from the Jets' ugly 17-6 win over woeful Carolina on Sunday, know this: Despite their myriad of injuries and problems, they are very much alive in the pursuit of a spot in the NFL's meaningful January football tournament.

The Jets got handed several early Christmas presents on Sunday, in the form of neat stocking stuffers. Miami, Houston, Jacksonville and Pittsburgh all lost and now the Jets are just one game out of the final AFC playoff spot with five to play.

Is it a case of here we go again? Or this time things will be different?

Unfortunately for the Jets, several missteps earlier in the season could ultimately destroy their chances regardless of how well they play.
