For the Giants, the opening of free agency saw them lose three players. Kawika Mitchell went to the Bills, Reggie Torbor to the Dolphins and Gibril Wilson to the Raiders. The loss of Wilson will hurt the most, but remember he was once a fifth-round pick. GM Jerry Reese proved last year that he is very good drafting players and won’t overpay in the free agent market, so don’t panic the Super Bowl champs will......

If they want to, the Jets can trace the morphing of their season from disappointing to disastrous from their Week 4 loss in Buffalo on Sept. 30. Before that, their only defeats came against the Patriots and the Ravens. Those are nothing to be ashamed of. But now the team hasn't won since a Week 3 squeaker against the Dolphins, and, let's face it, everybody's beating Miami these days. The Jets will try it all......

With their 23-3 win over Oakland, the Jets capped their unpredictable run to the playoffs in a predictable way. Few people expected the Jets to finish at .500 this season, but by the time the Jets beat Miami last week, most had them taking down the Raiders in the season-finale. But give the Jets credit for taking advantage of the win-and-you're-in situation, even if it came against a team that last won on Oct.......

The short answer is: not much. With a new coaching staff and an oft-injured quarterback, the Jets will keep the pain in growing pains. Their offense includes more holes than the defense, so if improvement comes under first-year head coach Eric Mangini, it will come on that side of the ball. But in a division including two playoff-caliber teams in New England and Miami, the Jets may find it hard to show progress this......

Simply put, the Jets looked awful in their season-opening 27-7 loss in Kansas City on Sunday. How bad? The Daily News recounts: There were seven fumbles, three turnovers, six dropped passes, eight penalties and a blocked field-goal attempt in which rookie kicker Mike Nugent slipped on an imaginary banana peel. So bad, linebacker Jonathan Vilma has a fat, bloody lip – courtesy of a sideline altercation with teammate Justin Reed in the third quarter. So......

For the second week in a row the Jets had to erase a second half deficit against a semmingly inferior opponent before pulling out a victory, as rookie linebacker Jonathan Vilma's interception of a Tim Rattay pass sealed a 22-14 win over the visiting San Francisco 49ers in East Rutherford yesterday to set a franchise record with a 5-0 start. As the Jets trailed 14-3 in the first half as the Niners had just scored......

In a matchup of two teams headed in opposite directions, the Jets overcame a sluggish day offensively to defeat the winless Dolphins 17-9 at Pro Player Stadium in Miami. (Box Score) Jets defensive back Donnie Abraham's 66-yard interception return for a score was the lone highlight of an ugly second half that featured four turnovers by the fish. It was one of several examples of a dominating performance by the Jet defense on the afternoon.......

The long list of unanswered questions on the minds of Jets fans certainly didn’t dwindle much after Friday night’s 23-13 preseason-opening loss at the hands of host New Orleans Saints. Of course, wins and losses often signify little more than one team’s third team is better than the other’s, but the season’s first certainty is that Offensive Coordinator Paul Hackett remains every Jet fan’s favorite target for second-guessing this season, as the suddenly young Jet......
