What's New In Jets Land?

Pretty big game for the Jets this weekend. The Eagles, not exactly setting the world on fire themselves, are coming to town and Chad Pennington's fighting for his job and, perhaps, his future with the Jets. I discussed this weekend's matchup and a lot more with Brian Bassett of the always excellent The Jets Blog for his weekly podcast which you can listen to right here and I previewed the game over at the FanHouse.

Quick and dirty, things don't look good for the Jets. The Eagles have Brian Westbrook and Gang Green can't stop the run while the Eagles have a pretty decent defense and the Jets have, well, very little to offer offensively. At least they'll look sharp in their throwback unis. Yep, that's what the Jets will be wearing this weekend. Scoff if you will but the Eagles put up 56 points in their old-school duds so maybe there's something to turning back the clock.

I can't understand why the Jets offense hasn't put up more points. They seem to be sucking in the running game on both sides of the ball. Coles-Cotchery-Pennington don't seem to be the problem, just every component that surrounds them.

The Jets have been the biggest surprise for me so far this year. Is this a karma backlash for Mangini? Could be.
