Opponent Profile: Will Jets Fit The Bill Against Buffalo?

While the Jets have stumbled to a 1-6 mark in a performance that could ultimately cost the boisterous Ryan his job when all is said and done, Buffalo has managed to keep itself in the division race, though Tom Brady and the Patriots are still the perennial favorites to win another AFC East crown.

Keidel: Jets Made A Huge Mistake Getting Harvin, And Will Pay For It In The End

Unless Geno Smith has truly turned himself around, the mouthy Percy Harvin will yap so hard that Rex Ryan will look back at Santonio Holmes’ last year here as the good old days.

Dyer: Bold Move By Jets GM Idzik, But Too Little, Too Late

The Harvin trade, if it works, will see Idzik take the lion’s share of the credit. It also will show that he ignored this team’s greatest need to the detriment of their playoff hopes.

Keidel: Boy, Am I Glad I’m Not A Jets Fan
