Finished: 2nd Place in the AFC East
2012 Draft Position: 16th
Preseason Ranking: 9
Week 1: Defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 27-24
Ranked - 11
Super Bowl caliber teams should not need a blocked punt and a huge mental mistake by the opposing quarterback to win a game. The Jets play gritty and have proven time and time again they can win both ugly and often.
Week 2: Defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, 32-3
Ranked - 3
The Jets won by 29 points while only rushing for 100 yards and passing for less than 200. If they aren't the anti-Patriots, I have no idea who is.
Week 3: Lost at the Oakland Raiders, 34-24
Ranked - 7
Note to self: When the media focuses too much on your most recent loss (especially if it's a game that could have easily been won), start bickering with a franchise legend. Sure, it won't be pretty, but then again, neither is your offense. Signed, Rex Ryan.
Week 4: Lost at the Baltimore Ravens, 34-17
Ranked - 15
The Ravens thoroughly grounded the Jets and made their claims of being an elite AFC team look suspect. Behind Sanchez, New York's "Ground and Pound" offense is downright offensive.
Week 5: Lost at the New England Patriots, 30-21
Ranked - 17
From 2-0 to 2-3. The Jets offense is terrible and the defense has to play perfect in order for their offense to have a chance. The Jets will implode if they allow the winless Dolphins to defeat them at home on Monday night.
Week 6: Defeated the Miami Dolphins, 24-6
Ranked - 17 Indiana Jones Style Recap
Eric Weddle, San Diego Chargers Safety: Hello, Cromartie.
Antonio Cromartie: Eric Weddle. I always knew some day you'd come walking back through my door. I never doubted that. Something made it inevitable. So, what are you doing here in New York?
Eric Weddle: We need to make up for one of the playoff losses you helped us collect.
[Cromartie surprises Weddle with a right cross to the jaw]
Antonio Cromartie: I've learned to hate you in the last few years!
Week 7: Defeated the San Diego Chargers, 27-21
Ranked - 11
If the defense can keep the Jets in a game, the offense should be just talented enough to win it at the end.
Week 8: BYE WEEK
Ranked - 12
The fate of the Jets will be decided in the next two weeks as they come out of the bye week with games scheduled against Buffalo and New England. That should give them something to talk about.
Week 9: Defeated the Buffalo Bills, 27-11
Ranked - 11
A big win over the Bills gives the loud-mouthed Jets some nice momentum as they ready themselves for a classic tilt against the struggling New England Patriots.
Week 10: Lost to the New England Patriots, 37-16
Ranked - 14
The Jets set themselves up to take a big leap forward or a huge step back with their talk leading up to the game against the Patriots… and New England sent them reeling backwards.
Week 11: Lost at the Denver Broncos, 17-13
Ranked - 14
How cool was that to see the vaunted Jets defense lose the game on a two-minute, 95-yard touchdown drive?
Week 12: Defeated the Buffalo Bills, 28-24
Ranked - 14
A full two games back in the division with five left to play, the Jets need to run the table to have any shot at a playoff spot.
Week 13: Defeated the Washington Redskins, 34-19
Ranked - 12
New York is on the outside looking in at the playoffs after 12 weeks, but if any team has the ability to make a late season run deep into the playoffs, the Jets do.
Week 14: Defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 37-10
Ranked - 9
The Jets are making their late season run. Watch out.
Week 15: Lost at the Philadelphia Eagles, 45-19
Ranked - 12
These guys can shut up anytime, but I do hope they can somehow recover from the beatdown in Philadelphia last week and go on to win the Battle of New York.
Week 16: Lost to the New York Giants, 29-14
Ranked - 16
One more loss and we can be done listening to these idiots… at least for a few months.
Week 17: Lost at the Miami Dolphins, 19-17
Final Ranking: 18
Tomorrow, the 2011 Oakland Raiders...
