A few final thoughts on Jets/Jaguars… Game MVP - It has to be Antonio Cromartie, who bounced back from being last week’s Goat in this article. Cromartie came up with 2 interceptions and 2 big kick returns, demonstrating his big play potential. Game Goat – I will go with Wayne Hunter, who has given Jets fans …
Quarterbacks (C) – It wasn’t Mark Sanchez’s finest effort (17/24, 182, 2 TDs, 2 INTs) but it was more than enough. He must do a better job of protecting the football and not forcing passes into traffic. Sanchez and this offense are capable of being one of the AFC’s best as we saw on their …

Week 2. Some teams are lost at quarterback, and even for the good teams, things often go sideways. Break this …
They won’t use this game film to teach offensive football, especially on the Jacksonville side but the Jets beat up on a severely inferior Jaguars team today, winning 32-3. The primary story of the day was quarterback Luke McCown’s general awfulness, along with the domination from the Jets defense, who recorded four interceptions, a safety, …
Inactives: Kevin O’Connell, Logan Payne, Emmanuel Cook, Bilal Powell, Rob Turner, Caleb Schlauderaff, Kenrick Ellis No real surprises here. The good news is that Santonio Holmes and Eric Smith are both active and expected to start. Let’s hope Holmes is doing the smart thing by not resting today with games against Baltimore and New England …

Joe Caporoso: See the 12 pack. Justin Fritze: Looking at this with the scientist’s eye, I notice a few things.
