If the Jets want to sell a personal seat license for the insane prices that the Giants are charging we should be entitled to have a first right of refusal to purchase a ticket for every event at that stadium. Also no one has brought up that every other NFL team that has PSL 's has only 1 Team at the stadium. In my opinoun the Jets and Giants are DOUBLE DIPPING!

This team hasn't had a great QB since Namath. They should find a way to get Favre. Case closed- Pennington can't throw the ball more than 40 yards and Clemens needs to watch a Hall of Famer.

The O Line is way better than it has been in recent years. Could open the running game a bit

i sat with Mark Gastineau one night in the past year in a bar in my town (not going to say which town) and spoke to him about the sack record. His feeling was this , if you are going to break a record it should be done the right way , he was pissed! he felt that it should not have been broken that way. He did it the legitimate way ! he was not handed the sack he earned it. Let's see if someone comes close to Strahan's record and they get handed the last sack to beat him , and how he would react to it !. I'm sure he will feel differently being on the other end!. It's like groovin a fastball to break the homerun record , everyone will remember how it is broken not that it WAS broken

this man should be able to hype up the team to a point where the defense is respected around the league it will be no "New York Sack Exchange" but it will be a step in the right direction!

he will start this season, and if that is the case then you might see someone like clemens get traded !

We have not had two faily good tight ends since we had Jerome Barkum and Mickey Shuler.

like his composure with the media,like the fact that their will be some healthy competition this season with regards to the QB position!

hes gonna be great

Jets will beWvery very happy..Watched him progress here in Tennessee

how about letting the defense play the 08 season before summarizing what the season performance is going to be

McFadden will be compared to Lawrence Phillips more than Adrian Peterson before his short, troubled career is over. Thank goodness for Al Davis. Gholston will be a real player.

Jets porous d line will be exposed again this year,cant stop the run and can not get to the qb =a mediocre season jet fans.Count on it.

any thoughts on why we would draft a tight end when we have two fairly good ones??

to"beat the chiefs": so, your saying the jets should have gone out and played their 3rd string against chiefs so as to possibly lose the game to obtain a better draft position? that idea is as absurd as your entire post

the jest did exactly what we thought they would do

The Jets should reserve Shea Stadium for their December Schedule. Lets get out of that Blue and Red Dump for one month and reclaim our old home field advantage again! The city wouldn't mind a last bit of revenue, and fans wouldn't care where they sat. It would throw Denver, Buffalo & Miami off their routine to play us at a windy, cold, loud venue like Shea is/was in the old days.

Herm is laughing all the way to the playoffs...By beating the Chiefs in a meaningless game, the Jets cost themselves a critical spot in the draft...instead of drafting 6th, we could have drafted 5th, thus being able to trade up to a QB looking Falcons team, and take McFadden from a senile Al Davis, who will now use McFadden to beat the Jets this year. Way to go Mangidiot.

All they had to do was lose the last game and they get the player that would have made a difference

not "alot" but "a lot"

mcfadden will not make it to us, the raiders will take him , Al davis likes the high profile players

as far as draft goes, im still intrigued with mcfadden, hes an explosive offensive player, and the jets need to score more points, hes my first choice, if not , i hope they take the best o-line or d-line player available

um the McFadden thing has me a bit worried , remember that what happens off the field usually bleeds into their production on the field. He has TWO kids with TWO different women , and has been involved in TWO bar brawls in the past few months, at this point i would not think that New York would be the best fit for him. Send him to a smaller market where he wont be prone to go out every night to the manhattan clubs and make more of a name in the page six section of the Post then the sports section my advice.... move on !

This will be my 25th year of waiting for that one player that makes a difference...that one player that all other teams have to be afraid...that one player that defenses have to design plays to counter attack. The Giants had LT...San Diego has Ladanian...Detroit had Barry and Dallas had Emmitt. I am tired of the Jets trading down to get more talent. We usually don't find it. DRAFT McFADDEN!!!

i am in agreement that it better happen fast or the wheels will come off this bus! he has to start porving his picks were the right ones , and it better be an amazing draft day for them i was making that statement with some sarcasm btw

Giving a coach a one year extension is not exactly the biggest vote of confidance. You cannot have a lame duck coach so you have to give him another year like the Giants did with Coughlin last year. To think that the Jets would not fire him and pay his 4rth year is not realistic. 2008-2009 most be the year that the Jets see marked improvement or the Mangini era will come to an abrupt end.

with the recent news of our beloved(and i use that term very freely) coach mangini being secured for the next two seasons we can all rest assured that the recent spending spree was partially due to the fact that his job was in serious jeopardy. Now we have to hope that the moves that were made we good ones, or he will be gone after 09 , along with other upper management positions. This draft better be the best one he ever has!

The NFL is becoming a running game by committee league, franchise QB's are hard to find, and in my opinion Ryan is a future star, or at least better than what we have now. If Ryan is available we should take him.

reply to picking ryan: he is not going to help us score points at all in 08, i would rather have mcfadden, he can help right away, not only his rushing ability , but, his presence will bring the defense up and make our passing game more effective

No Question that Chad is a hard working, and very smart quarterback that will give the Jets a better chance than Clemens at the start of the season. How long will that last? , without the ability to throw the ball downfield , the secondary will sit on the short passing game and be able to move up to help stop the run , it's a double whammy. Now Clemens might have happy feet , but getting that pocket experience will enable hime to take advantage of his mobility down the road. No question that he has a stronger arm than chad, and with a solid line now , and some key addtions he will be able to develop alot qiiucker than most expect him to. With this in mind i think we have to be smart and give clemens the job from the start of the season. The time is now!

Hi Jerry, THis is Bill and Kim Eckstrom. We played golf a few times in Glenwood. We now belong to Royce Brook and would like to invite you for a game sometime. Take care, Kim and Bill Eckstrom

Id take Matt Ryan if he is available.

My bad on jets investment in chad, i did not realize his cap hit! i thought they redid and reduced his compensation pkg?! if they dont find a taker for him, he very well could be the starter again.

I have decided that I would pick mcfadden at #6 if hes there, I understand there will be a nice defensive player at that spot, but, the jets have a need and that need is more offensive firepower that will result in more points scored, they were pitiful last year and we all know it.

You know--unless we get a burner receiver in the draft,there's no need to worry about Chad's arm strength.Withe the addition of Franks--the 2 tight end formation can be potent.I read that Coles' agent has a win-win proposal for Tangini.If coles is happy,maybe he and Chad can catch lightning in a bottle again.If teh boys draft Mcfadden,most of the offense will be on the ground--and we'll be looking at 17-10 games.Not so bad if we win that way!!!

besides CHAD giving the Jets chance 2 win in 08-he is a HUGE cap number this year

Let's do the right thing here ... draft our players not trade for them , i know we have not had the best success drafting top offensive producers in the past , but i thinkt hat trading our much needed picks could potentially hurt us in the long run . As for Coles, this is a man earning 11 million over the next two years, and don't forget he jumped ship last time for more money so don't think is is the most loyal player in the world. Also, this is a receiver whith whom i truely respect as one of the toughest receivers in the league, but true his true feelings are now showing and i think being on the downside of his career , you let him play out his contract then sign him to an incentive laiden contract , make these guys work for their money....not just expect it! btw Pennington won't be able to reach cColes if he is downfield more than 20 yards so their goes any chance of him earning his paycheck

What are the Jets doing? We have no recievers for crying outloud. Now you are going to piss off the only reciever we have? Yes Cotchery is a nice compliment but we need Coles. Sign him, trade the 6 pick and get Manningham or some other big time reciever. We need a deep threat other than Coles. Get it done.

I wouod trade up with the Dolphins and get Matt Ryan from Boston College.

No one can question Chads loyalty,, tuffness,, and football I.Q. My only fear is his ability to complete the deep pass on 3rd and 9 against a great defense in the cold weather.

You know, the blame for the Jets terrible offense lay squarely on the shoulder of Mangini and Schotty. IT's as if Edwards never left nad the blame has been placed on Chad for the last two yeears.

I think sometimes we forget how many times Chad layed it on the line for this organization.Even with the broken hand and 2 major shoulder surgeries--he never whined and almost took us to the AFC championship game , no thanks to Doug Brien and "play to win the game Edwards.Lets not forget that thru all this the offensive line was most always a problem,another reason Ken O'Brien was much maligned ,getting sacked about 175 times.If Dan Marino was our QB,he wouldn't have lasted 5 years around here.I'm for giving Chad a chance behind what looks like a decent line.Clemens has happy feet.

chad is still around because the jets dont have a big investment in him and he gives them one of the better backups in the afc, kellen will start and i think he will play well and the jets will surprise again in 08.

With the recent spending spree , the jets have created something that they have not had in years during the offseason.... BUZZ! now where this buzz will take them god only knows, My only apprehension to this type of hype is that the Jets always find a way to NOT make it benefit them . This is a case where they will end up starting Pennington, he will finally have that pass protection that he needs, but guess what... he doesn't have the arm!. This is where i see us making the typical Jets BIG mistake and trying to fix it 6 games in when we are 2-4 and the season is on the brink of another debacle

All of these signings are desperation moves by the Jets and Mangini and Tananbaum to save there jobs.

Yes dont forget that Belicheck had to learn what not to do at Cleveland. Ditto for Mangini with the Jets. However after Spygate and Mangenious record with Jets teams will not be lining up for his services.

Thanks Woody for the raise in ticket and parking prices. You don't own enough soap to clean up this mess known as the NY Jets.

Unfortunately, by the time Mangini really gets it--He will be coaching the Patriots.We are just a stepping stone "In The Process", to use his favorite interview answer.

Whenever Chad faces a good team that takes away the short passing game he does not have the arm to combat that.

The problem with having such a young coach is he has no experiance to help him out when things go bad. Belichick can be a jerk cause he has Brady but if Mangenius is a jerk the players just stop playing for him.

I could not take all of the crying by Brett Favre. This was a retirement not a funeral. T.O. and Brett Favre the faces of NFL turn into blubering babys. Vince Lombardi must be rolling over in his grave.

Michael Kaye is an idiot and out of his element in any sport other then Yankee Baseball. He Bashed Eli Manning and Giants all year.

I agree with the expressed sentiment that players should not be whining to the media about money. but, i do feel that the jets should redo kerry rhodes contract.

The Jets are spending money , they need to!, 4 wins is a joke and in this league you need to keep up. If you area jaded by the current spending please please step aside and we wil gladly fill your position asap!. You make millions , did nothing last year and expect to get pad more for it! god i wish i could say that in the real world! ."Excuse me boss , my produciton was sub- par last year , the company did'nt reach it's goals , but could i please have more moeny because I am worth it! " this is they type of attitude that destroys the team at it's core ...sick of it YES!

if the jet players who haven't won a super bowl in 40 years and went 4 and 12 last year have a problem with spending big money on bigger and better players have a problem, like coles and backer who never won a thing and still have 2 years on there contract can leave for draft picks

chad should not start. inside the 20s he can not get it done .move forward with clemens with a good line PLEASE

All the Jet players who made the Pro Bowl last year, stand up and voice your displeasure with the current Jets spending going on. The other 51 or so of you should just shut up and earn the paychecks you are currently receiving. I figure you all mostly stole your checks last year, so you are a full year up on the club. Get out on the field, do your jobs, win more than 10 games for a change, and don't be so worried how much the guy next to you makes! Be thankful you have a job after the disgrace of last year. No one on this team can't be replaced. WE WON 4 games WITH YOU, WE CAN WIN 4 GAMES WITHOUT YOU!!!

they're getting raped.

It would be a great tribute to former Jet owner Leon Hess if the Hess Oil Co named the the new stadium Hess stadium. It would be a great tribute to a long suffering Jet fan like the rest of us.

Jerry, All significant upgrades and on paper nakes this team a playoff contender if they can get some production at the QB spot. I am with you about chad. would be shocked if he isn't the starting QB opening day. The LC deal will not turn into another Kendall deal. They've been there and done that. Either Lc will get his new deal or he will be dealt by the draft. With Walker getting all that money from the Raiders it won't make it easy for the Jets. But they will get this resolved. They have too much invested in it not too. GO JETS!!!!!

pennington has won important games. The jets defeated green bay to win afc east and make playoffs in 02, defeated san diego on road in 04 with pennington at helm.

nice to finally see the jets get some big size players. For years we were always to small

I am a loyal Chad Pennington fan, he is a smart QB with a tough heart. Unfortunately without a strong throwing arm , and the fact that he has made some poor game time decisions leads me to believe that he is now losing a step , on the down side, whateveryou want to call it . It's time.. time to move on , stop looking to what he HAS done and start looking to what we HAVE to do as a team!

If I have to hear kaye say that mangini is too rigid with the 3-4, trying to fit a square peg into a round hole yada yada yada. He wanted them to fit the defense to vilma. Vilma is a nice player but not versitile enough.

The Jets should start Clemens and leave past behind. Pennington never won anything -- he always plays just well enough to lose. Clemens is the future and the future is now -- enough of Chad let him go to KC where him and Herm(the one who got us where we are now) can continue mess KC up.

it looks like the jets are not convinced that kellen is the qb for 08, they may feel more comfortable with chad at the helm behind the now much improved line. I think they would have ended all speculation about the qb situation by saying kellen's the starter, they didnt, so, i dont think he will be.

With Moss gone (not that he would have ever entertained the thought of becoming a New York Jet)it would have been a disaster to have a man like that on the Jets !, he needs to be kept in place , and the Patriots are the only team who can accomplish that , even moss must know this!

I think Pats over paid for him. 9 million a year for 3 years 18 guaranteed is a lot of money for someone who disapears in the playoffs.

Yes that was George Young that said that about Belicheat. You can talk all day about his " System " but to me his " System " does not work without # 12 Tom Brady.

Ok Manginius you have the players now lets see them produce.

Hey Woody...nice to see you back. Nice start with Jenkins and Faneca. But do you really want to upset the Apple Cart? Do you want to gain some respect? Get Randy Moss. How's this sound: Coles, Moss, Cotchery, Washington and possibly McFadden? Sounds Super to me!

IF THE JETS KEEP D-ROB, THEY COULD MIX IN A FORMIDABLE 4-3 DEFENSE WITH DROB AND JENKINS AT DT'S AND ELLIS AND COLEMAN AT DE'S AND HARRIS, THOMAS , AND BARTON (OR A SPEEDIER REPLACEMENT) AT LB'S, THATS A PRETTY DECENT FRONT SEVEN !

i read that a Detroit sports station said that the jets, broncos, and lions agreed to a deal, robertson and a 5th to Denver, rogers to ny, and foxworth and a 2nd to Detroit anyone think its legit?

Now Ted Johnson comes out and says the DEFENSE received audibles of the opposing team before games!?! I think before this is all over, New England will be stripped of all their Championships! Belichek IS A FRAUD! Giants former GM was right when a called Belichek, his own Defensive Coach, "THE MOST DISPICABLE PERSON HE EVER MET". Add BIGGEST FRAUD to that too.

I think Eric mangini needs to prove this up coming season that he has th e'jrts going in the right direction. he has been seubburn at times with certain players and the 3 - 4 Defense . He needs to show that his system is going to work !! People are startting to take notice !!

Have no fear folks, Jets to make the play offs once again in 2008, just as they do in all the even numbered years these days. :-)

I really hope to see a concerted effort by Jets front office to upgrade the offense, they should focus on o-line and a big blocking tight end would help too. I would also like to see a big physical receiver, a reggie wayne type would be perfect. I like the defense, I think they will be fine as they are, a better offense will help them out bigtime.

Hey a friend read in a Tampa paper...Jets moving to LA??????????

AT LEAST BIG BLUE HAS A QB THAT CAN THROW THE BALL MORE THAN 30 YARDS

hay jet fans can you say dynasty go big blue

1969 clap clap clap clap clap 1969 clap clap clap clap clap 1969 clap clap clap clap clap 1969 clap clap clap clap clap 1969 clap clap clap clap clap

You arrogant Giants fans...before your heads get to the size of a Clemens Melon, remember you won't have a last place schedule next year...and Goober Manning will have to actually QB a game at some point...not just manage a game.Be thankful every possible break went your way. It will all be forgotten in a few months.

I have come up with this idea that only the both of you are able to make happen...instead of the dumb ass pro bowl that we have- why not take the two losers of the championship games-this year it would be the packers-chargers and on the open sunday before the superbowl-let these teams play the' WHAT IF' bowl...what if they won...it would be a consolation type game...what do you think???

I heard the licenses fee will only be for the jets not Giants. IS THIS TRUE?

get over it gang green, this is BIG BLUE TOWN and always will be. Go get your own stadium, o thats right new york city didnt want you either. If that west side stadium was for us it would have been built already. Like the yankees and mets. 3 super bowl titles since 1986 ya baby keep dream n jets

dont know if i can give my heart to this team anymore, well I will Know in april. if the draft is a bust again, and we get no real free agents then I know in september what team we have. maybe another great 6 or 8 win season. Iguess that is good when your 2nd best in this town. like what the jet fan wrote below ya how bout a wide wr bigger than 5 feet 9 inch

How can this sorry team expect people to lay out BIG$$ for tickets when the new stadium opens...I'm a season ticket holder and will be more than happy to tell Woody and Jay Cross where to put their invoice...

The Jets have to travel to Oakland, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle, seems like a bit much for this group...

The next Time the Jets make an apperence in the Super Bowl. It will be named the Galaxtic Bowl played on Mars.. The anouncer for the Jets will be the Great Baningos relative...he'l his great great great uncle or what ever used to root for the Jets.

take notes from eli turn this tean around quick

hopefully our half assed QB qill make the 360 that the other manning made god knows we need it

Only thing better than the Giants toppling the "Evil Empire" would have been the Jets doing it!

The Jets should get Danny Manning to QB them. He has nothing to do and is a Manning brother!

should i make my son a jets fan? i don;t want to put my son through the same hell all jets fan live in this town. We need you to be a first class owner, get us a title

who are the Jets? Who are there fans? This team and its fans have no image. Why? 1969 is starting to sound like 1940 remember that. Bring back fireman Joe it was the only image that we had. O and by the way can we draft like the Giants do. Everybody on that team is about 6 feet 5 inc even the guys off the beanch. Can the jets stop drafting small players

OK Jets the Giants did it your TURN!..Lets go Jets I don,t exspect next season...But get on the Road to it!!!!

Remember that line from the Untouchables, Woody. Sean Connery looks at Kevin Costner with some doubt and asks him those words.....well Woody...there is a sceptical Jets Nation out there asking you the same thing...What Are You Prepared To Do? Are you ready to make your feelings known in the draft room? Are you ready to sign players that are ready to make a difference NOW not 3 years from now...are you ready to make the moves that make other teams stay at work late trying to beat...are you ready to make the Disney-Meadowlands-Giants Stadium-Shopping Mall an actual home field advantage?...are you ready not to reward/praise mediocrity but demand excellence at every level?...are you ready to finally...finally...finally get a home playoff game?...Well Woody, wherever those alligator shoes have taken you over the last couple of years...WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO????

Don't worry Jets fans, the day will come when there will be a Jets parade up broadway!

is Is Woody Johnson alive? I never see him. Is he going to be an owner who will do what he has to do to make his team successful, or will he skimp on talent andjust make his money off the loyal, suffering fans. Please someone tell me what I have to look forward to as a Jets fan.

am i ever going to see my team on supersunday,i am so depressed with watching everything big blue,it kills me woody better start paying players and not rasing ticket prices.how many more years do we have to wait it is so hard....

Im a big jets fan who once hated the giants. Now i wish my team was more like them. Living in Tennessee this last year has really made me appreciate what the Giants seem to accomplish every 7 or 8 years. Being a jet fan is really getting old.

as a die hard JETS fan,i can only hope that either Peyton or Eli produce some offspring and hopefully the JETS can claim them in the delivery room with that years draft choice.Maybe the only way we get to a Superbowl again !!!

Super Bowl Sunday will be MOVIE DAY for this Jets Fan. I will start with Aston Villa vs. Fulham in the am, then the Rangers at Montreal at 2pm, then a MOVIE TRIPLE FEATURE of Cloverfield, There Will Be Blood, and No Country For Old Men. Hopefully by then, that nightmare of a Cheater Bowl...er Super Bowl will be over!
