Thanks to the Patriots' spying, the Jets have enjoyed a week surprisingly free of the questions that normally follow teams that start the season with convincing losses at home. According to The Times, 14 of the 25 questions fielded by Coach Eric Mangini on Wednesday dealt with the alleged filming of the Jets' defensive signals. Rest assured, Eric Mangini's not thinking about the Patriots offense but instead the Ravens defense. more ›

Just as they were riding sky high, the Jets hit a rude speed bump and dropped a 31-13 game at home to the Buffalo Bills. With a pair of defensive mistakes, the Jets allowed two big-play Bills touchdowns, and despite a field goal right to give them some momentum at the end of the first half, the Jets didn't score again in what will likely prove to be a disappointing loss. more ›

Raise your hand if, at the beginning of the season, you thought the Jets would have seven wins in 2006. Keep them raised if you thought they'd have seven wins after 12 games. We bet there not too many hands still in the air. Well, the Jets do have seven wins, and they do have a shot at the playoffs. Their only problem is five teams not in first place have the same record, and there are only two wild-card playoff spots. That means one loss could cost the Jets, and there's no time for looking at opponents' records and relaxing. more ›

After hanging on in Week 1 to down the Titans and rallying to make the Patriots sweat -- a little -- in a Week 2 loss, the Jets travel to Buffalo for a Week 3 matchup.

Starting QB Chad Pennington did not return to action after the midway point of the fourth quarter, when he aggravated the right shoulder he had had bruised on a first quarter scramble that resulted in a fumble. Even though the game's outcome had not been completely decided at that point, coach Herm Edwards should be commended for his decision to not risk Pennington's shoulder (and likely the Jets' entire season) when the team has an experienced backup like Quincy Carter ready in the wing. That said, it was a sloppy handoff from Carter to Curtis Martin that resulted in a Buffalo safety late in the game. more ›
